What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

Quote from silencecomes
Well if you mean a physical book and not a virtual one then its been about... 1~3 weeks
Virtually I read all the time almost constantly. Strange considering I don't like reading physically none


Sorry, what does this mean? Do you mean you read actual books on your computer, off the screen? If you do, hats off to you because I couldn't do that, I had to get a kindle so I could be comfortable while reading my electronically procured readings.

And on that, I was reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds yesterday.
I am actually terrible at sticking to one book at a time so I have several in progress that I read haphazardly.

Currently procrastinating writing a story by reading disjointed segments of 博士の愛した数 式. Ogawa Yoko is a fairly brilliant writer. Thoroughly underrated in the west.

@ hatsumimi99: Heehee, hope your enjoying it anyway. I don't think I can ever read off a device or my eyes will bleed after about 2 hours. xD
And thanks for the encouragement! C':

@ E-chan52: Heh, that's actually why I bought the book as well. I'm hearing lots of good things about it. Perhaps it would be good for you to check it out. c:

Hopefully I'll finally read it soon!

I sit down by my kids' bedside, read them 5 pages of this wonderful masterpiece, and go on to tell them about the greatness of this man and his great taste in movies.
