Age: 19
Enter Msn or Yahoo messenger: bountyhuntrz@hotmail.co.uk
What Field You Would Like To Be Positioned In: Proof Reader
Why You Want This Position: I would prefer to become a translator eventually, however my Japanese isn't up to standard yet but I still want to work with the IEatSoul team as I have been reading translations done by the team.

(click to show/hide)
p.118
Niko: No cage exists in Polaris!

Text: In fact, the story of Polaris is about how "the prince and the princess of the Ursa Minor accepted the arranged marriage and lived happily ever after." And that's all.

Text: Yes. What intervened in this story was my "imagination".
Fran: ...The conclusion ought to be the same.
Sfx: Rustling.

Text: However, it's you too that's being deceptive. You're talking about your "imagination" since you too have your favourable story line of "She chose on her own to stay by her love".

p.119
Niko: Your a liar!!!
Text: Aah, why is this child looking straight at me with those kind of eyes?

Niko: You deceived me!! / You're awful!
Text: As if I'm wrong.
Sfx: Breathe in

Fran: Yes.

Fran: Maybe it's a lie // I thought it would be nice if it was like that.

p.120
Text: However, I didn't deceive you. That is to say, it was stories that are told for the purpose of entertaining people...
Text: The truth of non-fiction is almost helpless before "imagination". As for this world, everything is about fact based on evidence.
Fran: It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Since it's you who decides if my story was true / You should just accept that if it was interesting.
Text: Well, without evidence, even history and fact could become fiction. / I'm only saying that it's more fun if there's room for intervention.

p.121
Fran: That's why the listener decides on what truth their own hearts wants.
Text: "Cage of Polaris". / This cage is made up of thought called "me", this would also be the truth for people who are happy being locked in a cage.
Fran: You too.

p.122
Fran: Don't you think that freedom of speech and pleasantness lie in there?
Niko: ...

Niko: I don't understand the difficult stuff, though... / I understand one thing!
Fran: What is it?

Niko: That you're a pervert!!!
Sfx: Smile.
Fran: Yes, that's correct. I'm glad that you got it right.

p.123
Fran: --Aah, it's around time for me to go, otherwise it will be too dark.
Niko: ...

Hi there! I'm so sorry about the long wait! >_<

I'll be going through your test today. :)

p.118
Text: However, it's you too that's being deceptive. You're talking about your "imagination" since you too have your favourable story line of "She chose on her own to stay by her love".
- A person is being deceptive, so "that's" should be "who's".
- Two "too"'s are a bit repetitive, so you can change the first one to "also" and rearrange the sentence a bit to make it grammatically correct.
- "Story line" should be one word.

p.119
Niko: Your a liar!!!
- "Your" should be "you're". (You are.)

Fran: Maybe it's a lie // I thought it would be nice if it was like that.
- Missing punctuation.

p.120
Text: The truth of non-fiction is almost helpless before "imagination". As for this world, everything is about fact based on evidence.
- Don't change "fiction" to "non-fiction". They are talking about the "truth" of "fiction", so don't change it even if you think it's incorrect. If so, you can always ask the translator. (If it's a real TL.)

Fran: It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Since it's you who decides if my story was true / You should just accept that if it was interesting.
- Missing punctuation before the bubble split.

p.121
Fran: That's why the listener decides on what truth their own hearts wants.
- The subject should be plural. So "the listener decides" should be "the listeners decide".
- Oh, and "wants" should be "want".

Text: "Cage of Polaris". / This cage is made up of thought called "me", this would also be the truth for people who are happy being locked in a cage.
- Change the comma into a period.

p.122
Niko: I don't understand the difficult stuff, though... / I understand one thing!
- Keep Niko talking in 3rd person.

p.123
Fran: --Aah, it's around time for me to go, otherwise it will be too dark.
- Change "around" to "about".

~*~*~*~*~

After going through your test, I'm afraid I cannot pass you. Thank you for applying!
