Translating Japanese names

Hi, you're adding released credits into a .veg file and you need to translate the trailer names for the credits in Japanese (Kanji).

Sony Vegas crashes with it's own error reporter, not MS's error reporting.

The names occurred in Bleach Movie 3 Trailer is this where the image is in Japanese kanji names. Do you help translate the names and sections to English?

It's still not abundantly clear what you're asking. Are you asking someone to translate/transliterate this, or are you trying to find software that will recognize the characters to do it automatically?

Anyway, here is my own stab at the titles on the left side:

死神図鑑 = The Title: "Bleach"
演出 = Director
作監 = Shortened form of 作画監督 = Animation Director
原画 = Original Creator
色指定 = Color

As to transliterating the names associated with these four titles, I can tell you that Japanese ones are a whole lot of fun, especially given names.

I also looked for information about the 3rd Bleach movie, and the names don't match up to the titles. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach:_Fade_to_Black,_I_Call_Your_Name and http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/bleach/

So it isn't "The Bleach 1", feat. Leonardo Di Caprio?

Bert Vanderveen14 September 2009 · 14:460 votes

That would be Reonaldo di Caplio, right?

Be VERY careful when translating Japanese names.

Often, the Kanji are pronounced very differently from identical Kanji that appear in other Japanese words. Maybe sometimes there is even more than one possible pronounciation. There are special dictionaries for Japanese names, and if it's important to get it right, I'd recommend to consult one of these dictionaries.

On the other hand, if it's a film, maybe you can find the romanizised names somewhere on the internet, then you don't need to translate them.

It is not clear what you’re asking...

Well, I must say I’m a great admirer of 386sky’s exquisite Dada poetry!
A collage of his hitherto oeuvre:

Here’s what you did:
Move the s. Move the point.
You corrupted one of the fonts.
Insert 4 characters, named Koppa and Sampi. Or insert 8 glyphs. For children:
Add 12 glyphs with Insert -> Glyphs
You pimped the font that you can always allow you.
What are you doing wrong?
Superscript eight has no problems, but narrator speaks the number eight.
(because it is not)

Furthermore, you spammed the wiki.
You launched a gremlin.
You fell victim to online translators.
You go straight to the ‘log out’ button.
You do not pass go.

You downloaded Naruto Shippuden ending credits one to seven and you need the sections to translate.

386sky18 September 2009 · 06:450 votes

Do you translate the sections and names to english?

Another image that wants to translate the section and name to english.

By default さのえり is transliterated into Eri Sano (さのえり).

As you know, it’s very difficult to read Japanese names because each of Chinese characters in Japanese have several readings. That’s why I cannot read several names, such as 水野悦明 and 橋本知枝. You could not know what you should read their names, unless you ask them.

Upper one:

効果 effect (I don’t know the precise animation film term.)
長谷川卓也 Takuya Hasegawa
（サウンドボックス） (Soundbox)

調整 adjustment
野口あきら Akira Noguchi

ＭＡスタジオ MA Studio
スタジオごんぐ Sudio Gong

音響プロデューサー Audio Producer
塚田政宏 Masahiro Tsukada

音響制作 Audio Production
楽音舎 Rakuonsha

Bottom one:

原画 Original drawing or Key Animators
井上敦子(Atsuko Inoue) 宇佐見皓一(Koichi Usami)
水野悦明(Etsuaki Mizuno or Yoshiaki Mizuno?) 松坂定俊(Sadatoshi Matsuzaka)
折井一雅(Kazumasa Orii) 宮川治雄(Haruo Miyagawa)
桂木杏(An Suzuki) 津熊健徳(Takenori Tsukuma?)
さのえり(Eri Sano) 山本祐子(Yuko Yamamoto)
飯村真一(Shin-ichi Iimura) 北村友幸(Tomoyuki Kitamura)
木村文代(Fumiyo Kitamura) 橋本知枝(Tomoe Hashimoto or Chie Hashimoto?)
中西理絵(Rie Nakanishi) 山内明(Akira Yamauchi)

I had an error of reading of 桂木杏.
It’s not An Suzuki, but An Katsuragi.

Do you translate the first two sections and names into English?

It is Japanese.

and the other ones?

Opera and Microsoft remains that the "Click to activate and use this control" is not.

If you want it, you need to translate ending key animation names

Akira Yoshino1 October 2009 · 23:500 votes

中嶋敦子(Atsuko Nakajima) 松竹徳幸(Tokuyuki Matsutake)
ちゃらぞう(Charazo) 下星達府(?)
千葉崇洋(Takahiro Chiba) 立木良見(?)
りょーちも。(Ryochimo) 石田敦子(Atusko Ishida)
田中比呂人(Hiroto Tanaka) 清水恵子(Keiko Shimizu)
木村雅弘(Masahiro Kimura) 西尾鉄也(Tetsuya Nishio)
鈴木博文(Hirofumi Suzuki)

立木良見 might be Yoshimi Tachiki.
下星達府 is very difficult. It’s not an ordinary name.

akira has spelled it as sudio gong

the correct spelling was
Studio Gong

thus the post is an misspelling

the name for "りょーちも。" was "ryochimo."

and translate it

and another to translate

Akira will be able to translate the sections and names to English!

Do you have another image to translate these sections and names?
