How do you deal with not falling asleep during translation?

[LastMinami]

In my last chapter, while I was translating it from Spanish to English, someone told me I only translated half of it into English... it's never happened to me before, but I don't understand how tired I was that I didn't notice, haha.

I have already told people this before.

You install Tesla's neuralink brain chip to automatically translate your thoughts to English.

Carefully.

The problem is - no matter how far you go, they always stay 3km away. Trust me, I´ve tried everything!

You should write them directly in English, write them in Spanish, and then translate them; it's double the work.

What the fuck?

You should write them directly in English, write them in Spanish, and then translate them; it's double the work.

I finish it, write it in Spanish, then correct it and rewrite it until I finish it, and then I write it in English and correct it again until it's understandable.

Just write the whole thing in Esperanto...

Just write the whole thing in Esperanto...

That language is pure evil. Green outside, red inside.

Yep. The only people who ever used it were supervillains in the Champions role playing game, as far as I can tell...

what's that?

Use a Babel Fish.

what's that?

 

[CharlesEBrown]

what's that?

what's that?

A language fabricated in the 80s out of several other languages, meant to displace English as the dominant language of international business. (Hint: It failed).

Ah, now that makes sense.

I find it hard to fall asleep while moving. When translating from one location to another, I can't fall asleep. Like if I take a transport plane or train, I don't sleep. Also, I find it hard to sleep in general.

You can use DeepL; it's not 100% accurate, but it'll handle most of it for you.

Or, more simply, use AI. Since you already have the content and the intent, using AI in this case shouldn't be seen as laziness or sloppiness. Just don't treat the AI's output as the final result; read it over carefully and make adjustments.

I bet you didn't read the ToS, you have to make them hot by setting the nearest house on fire.

Not me, I practically fall into a coma. After all, right now I'm only sleeping like 4 or 5 hours... and in the morning I have to go back to work. It's like when you want to play a game on your console, you turn it on and start the game, then you wake up and realize you didn't play.

and become Piccolo by the time the police arrive

I... i don’t . At first i was writting in french, then translating in english, but no matter how i did it, it never really retranscribed it the way i wished it to be.
In the end, i ENTIERLY rewrote my french written chapters, in english ( since for some reason my perspective of some scenes change from a langage to another... =_=' )
Now, i’m writting all my chapters in english from the ground up. Multiples friend had told me to do so but... mhe. ( For how long did they sang : told you so! In my ears... )
