Heyaaaaa! Sorry to bother you again but since you worked on Anos stuff, MTL and such, I thought you would be a good candidate to answer my inquiry.

If a verse has a OTL that is absolutely dogshit, with problems arising such as adding sentences that didn't exist, changing sentence structures, ... Can I make a CRT to implement a rule for said verse to always get the translation/raw double-checked before anything gets implemented?

If the verse actually has translations that are not in accordance with the raw, either removing information or extrapolating content by completely changing its meaning, then it should always be necessary to check in case you are not sure.

Although everything would be easier if there was a different alternative to OTL, perhaps an FTL?

Just so we're clear, it's 50/50. Sometimes the OTL is perfect, with good grasp of the context and such, but sometimes they translate a word by something completely unrelated, making the sentence completely different from the raw.

There are no FTL as far as I'm aware since the verse is officially translated. (and some FTL that existed before are sometimes just as shit)

So yeah, I don't mind double-checking myself (since it's what I do for the most important stuff) but it was more about "future endeavors" you know. Hence, why I thought making a rule would somewhat solve the problem

So this would be a more complex case to propose a rule, since if you say it is a 50/50 then it would make it redundant to want to verify each thing when upgrading. So if you really want to prove your point and create a thread, I suggest you get the information that is wrong from OTL, translate it with accurate translations (if possible from our translators) and present the respective differences.

Hello, we talked some time ago about reviewing Orochimaru's profile, and I just wanted to say that I'm working on it. I suppose you're not interested at the moment, but if you'd like to collaborate in any way, feel free to edit.

Oh, awesome. I just had a quick skim over it, and you're doing great work so far.
I'll keep an eye on the sandbox and chime in/contribute when I remember something that needs to be added or notice something that needs to be adjusted.
You can also feel free to ask for help with anything if/when you need it.

Heya, do you want to comment on the Tier 2 KOF thread now that other members and staff have done so?

Hey I remember messaging you on the message wall back in February about the one famous Jackie Chan Adventures feat. You said you were thinking of reevaluating it one day if you had the time (Your calculation from 2021 then reevaluated in 2022). Obviously you're busy, so it got mixed in the crossfire.

So I decided to make a modified version myself if you wish to check it. I also calculated a bunch of other feats but I figure it was more fitting for that to be the only one. Also are you able to accept your own calculation from 2021, it's basically just simple (d/t) and that's it for speed.
HI , i just read your post in delete wukong profile. You still use the bad translation. I recommend to use the better translation.
For example, the 72 spell and 32 , 18 spell are base on taoist world: low world are earth, middle world are cloud world, and high world are sky.
Also the transation of Ganges’ sands. What does it even mean. That is a scene when all the deity leave, it just show you how beatifull it is. . And it is normal. Do i need to upload the full page
Next time upload the full page.
That translation also suck.
This is why i told you to upload full page, this is why feat this this exist ( fly to the end heaven , have 72 live, erase his name , ...etc..) .
IF this continue, wukong still have the same problem before

It's not a feat. No one was using it as a feat. That's what I'm getting at.

So with that one word , you think the author know a lot about buddhism. I will wait for your post then. Also please research Taoist too, i may contradict to buddhism. You can call me for help . Bye

No. I don't know what you don't understand. "Sands as the Ganges"/"Ganges sands" is just a common Buddhist phrase.

Like "God be with you." or "God's speed" for Christian Countries.

I am not making any other claims.

And I have researched Daoism, a lot actually. In my explanation section I explained common Daoist and Chinese phrases too, I even mention outright the Myriad/Ten Thousand Things, a Daoist concept. I also have in my collection and have read Daoism, a Guide for the Perplexed by Louis Komjathy, The Encyclopedia of Taoism by Fabrizio Pregadio and have 2 translations of The Complete Works of Zhuangzi, one translated by Burton Watson and the other by Brook Ziporyn.

Furthermore, the surface level contradictions between Buddhism and Daoism are completely removed from the fact that the book goes out of its way to say there is "One truth" and that both religions are true, not to mention the countless centuries of Buddhism and Daoism intermingling and Chan Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism and Flower Garland Buddhism all incorporating the Daoist cosmology, Gods and features into itself.

I don't think it's wise for you to continue the conversation if you don't understand what I'm saying.
