38: seems legit (now I want to know more about that conspirations) 32: it's not necesary, but I like it personally (more...poetic?) 38: hmmmm I'd have to go poking around the WildSpec thread to find it. However, have you seen the (my) Kat/divinity theory? I'm rather proud of it. i have read your theory and i think its quite intresting! i showed it to my cousin (he introduced me into GKC) and he was also really shocked about it! now that i think of it i could ask him if he would want to join the spanish translation (he's older than me and knows a lot more than grammar than me too) can i ask him to join? |

Absolutely (if you think he's a nice guy and if you think he'll fit in here well)  |

And, rounding out the chapter titles:
41: Cambios
42: Catalizador
43: Azogue
44: Curso Intensivo
45: Hilo (connotation of literal thread and the thread of a story)
46: El Reino de Los Muertos, maybe?
47: ¡Hasta Luego!
48: Relatos Absurdos, maybe?
Now, into the actual translation of the comic! I think that, for the first few chapters, Antimony's words should be very formalized, using correct but odd grammatical constructions. Would she call everyone usted, do you think? She doesn't connect emotionally with Kat until later in the story.

Yes, Daedalus, I read it. WOW.
for the chapter 47, "¡nos vemos!" is a more literall translation. Also, I agree too with a more formal annie to the beggining
By the way, I've noticed that we are four americans and two europeans working in a spanish translation, this would be the beggining of a terrible cruel and bloody war in other points of the internet...

Sorry, I forget who here has seen it. Please forgive me, lolcat-san. Ehhh we are all united by our love of Gunnerkrigg! Plus, we're all pretty good, reasonable people. No need for World War 2.1 And where did that count come from? birds, CoyoteReborn, and I are from the Americas, and you're from Europe. Where are the other two people? |

woot! Now, on to the comic. How do we wish to divide this? We could just type it here directly...
(Please excuse spelling mistakes; autocorrect is screwing with me.)
Page 1: Me llamo Antimony Carver. Me gustaría contarles de los sucesos extraños que me tenían lugar cuando asistí a...el Corte de Gunnerkrigg.
We don't have to be quite as careful translating the individual pages as we did the title pages (less double meanings and connotations and such) but I suspect we'll still go over each page several times. Of course, we could do a googledoc instead or something, and/or divide it by chapter, etc. What do you think?

haha i never worked in a googledoc but i'll learn
ad i say that we divide the chapters like (are we 4?) half the chapters for two people and the other half to the other two and, when finished, exchange them to see the otger's opinion what do you think?

I approve: what would the divisions be? I know CoyoteReborn is a bit busy this summer (I know him in real life) so I suspect he won't be extremely useful for whichever group he's on. How about this: once we get a few more people involved, we can do this. If your cousin joins, that could solve that problem. Until then, want to each choose a chapter and work on it, asking questions of each other when necessary, and posting results here? (also, re:p1 - why 'extraños sucesos' rather than 'sucesos extraños'?) |

Full-time korbaration is out of the question mainly because I cannot speak Spanish to save my life. In times of hardship, I can rhyme "peso" with "beso". On the subject of organization: When I translated the initial fourteen chapters into German, I put my drafts into a Dropbox, chapter by chapter, after which hnau made corrections and suggestions in the thread (thank you again!). We discussed them until both sides were fine with the result, then I uploaded the reworked translation in the original's place. I think this worked out well; I'd have liked some manner of index to compile all the revised lines and encapsulate the underlying discussions for any future (proof-)reader's educational delight, but since the project didn't attract too much interest from other people, its value would have been doubtful. |

For now I'm pretty damn busy, so I doubt I can have some work done until July Thanks for correction on grammar, and we'll set up a googledoc (if I can figure it out  ) I'll set one up tonight, if you want. I think I need an email address though to share it: I'll PM you three asap. Edit: I figured out how to whitelist it so no email required |

I forgot how irritatingly complex Antimony's vocabulary is in the beginning of the story grrrrrrrr |

Great work, congrats to all of us! It looks fantastic haha! I also finished the bonus page. However, a few small suggestions (in order of importance):
1) PLEASE use page breaks (in the insert menu) between pages rather than repeated 'enter's. It makes future editing so much easier, as then the pages still line up rather than everything shifting down or up by several lines. Humor me.
2) Capitalization is your friend. I think I sorted that all out now, though.
3) I did a hack-job on page 9; please tell me what you think with my changes. There are other changes I suggested interspersed throughout, though I usually hesitated to make them.
Now, on to Chapter 2! (unless we want to translate separately and then cross-check them?)

KartoffelnMcNugget, birds: we need to chat about Zimmy's accent. I can't check the grammar currently since I can't read it (not very well, at least). Do you want to leave it unchecked (and leave any errors that are there, which I think there are) or tone it down a bit? I can barely make heads or tails of it, and I am not sure whether any future readers could either. In english, it's only apparent in a couple of words per phrase. I think we may have overdone it.
