プチへこみ…

先日、私が英訳したストパニのラノベ第２巻が届いたんですが、違う翻訳者の名前が載ってました。ガックリ。orz

実はこーゆー書き間違いは今回で３度目です。一回目は、A社のただの勘違いで、２回目は、B社が自分の名前ではなく、仲介したエージェントの社名を載せて、そして今回は途中交代したから、C社は前の翻訳者の名前を残したままです。出版会社の方たちは、結局は人間ですので、このような間違いをおかすのは仕方ありませんし、別に怒ってません。でも違う翻訳者の名前があると、「私がこの作品を翻訳しました」と他の人に言いづらいし、履歴書に書いたら、偽造と間違われる気がして、載せづらいです。

パートタイムでマンガ・ラノベ翻訳をしてるので、もともと作品数が少ないから、やむなく履歴書から３作品を外すのは結構キツイかな。ま、これから数をこなせばいつかは立派な履歴になると思いますが。(^^;

では、これからも少しずつですが、翻訳を続けます。(-_-;

Strawberry Panic!: Girls' School in Full Bloom

A minor depression...
The other day, I received StoPani novel 2 that I translated, but I noticed a different name for the translator. Doom. orz

Actually, it's the third time this happened to me. The first time, A Company just made an honest mistake, the second time, B Company used the agency's company name instead of mine, and for this title, the translators changed midway during the series, so C Company left the previous translator's name in the credits. The publishing company staff are human after all, so they'll make errors like this occasionally, so I'm not really angry at them. But if a different translator's name is in the book, it's hard to claim that "I translated it", and even if I claim credit for it on my resume, people will probably think I'm lying or being a fraud, so it's hard to write it down.

I translate mangas and light novels on a part-time basis, without too many titles to my name, so it's pretty rough to have to remove three titles from my records. I guess if I continue to crank out more titles, my portfolio will eventually be robust. (^^;

Therefore, although I go at a snail's pace, I'll continue to translate. (-_-;
