I started fansubbing 2-3 years ago for fun and I noticed that people actually watched my translated videos and enjoyed them a lot, and that’s amazing. So, what’s this post about? Let’s try to explain.

What is Gaki no Tsukai? I’m not wasting any time explaining that, just google it and you won’t regret it.

Here's the github with (rough) AI translations for 7 episodes plus a 1.First of all: That’s not a translation post / a post related to japanese music whatsoever.Īs someone who follows my blog or my youtube page already knows, I’m translating Gaki no Tsukai clips by years. So even people who can't speak Japanese can still improve the translation in some places where the transcription failed. Also as there's a lot of on screen text in Gaki shows anyone can use an OCR program like Yandex or OCRspace, and then run that through DeepL. But the good news is it's usually only a few minutes total, so while translators are still needed, they typically only need to translate ~4 minutes in total instead of a whole 24 minute episode. All you need is AegiSub, the raw video and a github account.Īnd while most of the translation is at least understandable, some of the AI translation is still incomprehensible. Even just documenting where translation or timing fixes are needed in an issue could help others save time.

If you want to contribute you can do as much or as little as you like, any bit helps. And by hosting them on github, you don't need to reserve or coordinate work, or commit to timing a whole episode. So what I'm hoping is that people will download the subs, watch them in Aegisub, and maybe spend 10-30 minutes fixing up the sub so that way the next person who comes along will have a slightly better experience and keep the ball rolling. TL DR: The idea is to get a mostly understandable sub from an AI, then have people watch through with it, make a few edits to improve it, and quickly end up with a finished sub without any one person having to do a ton of work.Ī group are transcribing and translating Gaki episodes with OpenAI's Whisper, they're by no means anywhere near the quality of a good subber yet, but most of the work that needs to be done on them is rewriting understandable English lines into something more natural and timing/style setting stuff that anyone can do without any Japanese knowledge. Edit: There are over 650 AI subs thanks to chikichikitube and BuckwildBabycakes, if you'd like to edit and improve them you can do so here, though completely new editors may find it easier to work with subs that have already been touched up by a human.
