At long last, subbing on Katri, Girl of the Meadows (Makiba no Shoujo Katri, 1984) has been completed! After a long time, we finally have a new WMT fully subtitled in English. But I've got some points to make:

- I was planning on watching it completely before sharing with you guys, because the subber said there's some mistakes here and there, mostly regarding characters names on the first episodes he subbed. I would've fixed these mistakes before sharing, but I don't think they'll subtract your enjoyment and it would be kind of selfish to do so, because you waited a lot this.

- On the topic of characters names, the first 16 episodes have been subbed by another person, whom I believe had access to the original novel, so the names are more faithful to the work. This is not the case of the remaining episodes - some names are closer to the romanized version of their Japanese pronunciation. I provided him with an ANN article which contained the characters names, but only the main ones, so minor characters may not be written as "Finnish" as they should be.

- Episode 17 was the first one he subbed and he didn't use punctuation, then I instructed him to do so for the next ones and he did, so these won't have the same problem.

- No lyrics for opening and ending themes. Sorry :/

- He himself said he realized some mistakes and would fix them in the future, but I don't know when he'll do so, so I decided to share these subs as they are. When he sends me the revised versions, I'll upload them.

With that being said, here's the links:


EPISODES 1 to 16

EPISODES 17 to 49

That's it, folks! Have fun! And any problems you notice in the subtitles, let me know, as I haven't watched it completely yet and I'm kind of a slow "watcher" :v

Não sei ao certo, mas pelo que o cara me falou, tem alguns erros de nome nos primeiros episódios que ele legendou e o ep. 17 tá sem pontuação. Fora isso não sei se tem mais erros porque ainda não assisti a série completa. Mas se encontrar problemas, vai avisando, por favor, que aí eu arrumo quando terminar de assistir tudo.

And if anyone want to help, say beforehand that you will and what episode(s) you'll revise.

So, I worked on episode 17: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3rocmp7ukh30q/牧場の少女カトリ%20第17話「狼を退治する日」(DVD%20640x480%20WMV9).ass?dl=0

I copied the OP and ED from Ushii&LE release.
Changed the fonts, they were too big.
Changed the position of the credits, but in the ED is not possible to position they "clean" like I wanted.
Someone can suggest a more "rounder" font to use in the OP and ED to match the letters used by the studio?

I put punctuation (except "!" that I feel need to be used more), barely corrected anything, what I mostly did was break the lines with "/N" but this is a obsession of mine that may not please you. I divided some lines that were too big into two lines and corrected adjusting the timing.
Didn't changed names, accept for Abel->Aapelli. The ending have the names that can be used as reference.

This was just a test, give opinions.

You're gonna spend a lot of time if you plan on fixing every instance "Abel" shows up :P But you've made a great job, I really liked the changes you've made. Do you plan on doing it in every episode?

I can do a few, but first we have to determine consistency.
It's easy to change de names, you can use Aegisub and automatize with "Find and Replace".

I hope it's Aapeli (Finnish) you're using and not Aapelli, PaninaManina.

Sick release. Maybe not a series I'd immediately rush to rewatch, but I look forward to reading the impressions.

From what I remember watching the first chapter in 2015, there's some subplot about Finland independence right? Hope that Katri will not be burned in those flames...



Well, let's get the work going?
Attention for everyone that could be thinking about improving the subtitles, the episodes 17-21 are mine, ok?
I'll try to watch and check/improve those episodes, you if want to do the same warn us here which episodes you'll do beforehand.

I would love to help, but I don't have much free time :( To be extremely honest with you, I think these revisions should only be done if they're going to be done on every single episode, or else the discrepancy between the subtitles will be bad. If you're the only one planning to help on these revisions, it won't work, unless you do them all, which would be difficult and time-consuming.

With that being said, does anyone else here want to help Panina with these revisions? Then we can work together to make this release even better for all the fans.

Não tenho confiança para revisar em inglês na verdade, por mais que eu "sinta" que há algo errado nas frases. Apenas os erros mais óbvios e simples são os que eu posso resolver, mas é um progresso.
Estou adicionando a abertura e encerramento e sincronizando com os tempos de cada episódio, apesar de que por mim ficaria sem deixando a animação limpa.

Também tenho pouco tempo para fazer isso, e local para calmo para poder trabalhar nisso, mas se eu acostumar a assistir com a legenda aberta posso melhorar só um pouquinho. Pelo que vejo está perfeitamente assistível, qualquer um pode pegar as legendas e assistir agora. Mas com um pouco de bom senso, e paciência, mesmo sem um fansubber para fazer uma revisão definitiva é possível mais tarde muxar os arquivos e distribuir em uma versão 1.0 padrão.

Cara, eu imagino que não hajam muitos problemas com o inglês da tradução dele, eu pelo menos não notei nada nos trechinhos que assisti. Se houverem, duvido que sejam graves como na tradução de Marco, por exemplo. Eu acho que se você conseguir mudar a fonte e adicionar as OP e EDs assim como fez com o ep. 17 já tá de ótimo tamanho para uma nova revisão das legendas. Essas eram as duas coisas que me incomodavam, na realidade. E o fato do nome do Aapeli estar diferente, mas como você disse que tem uma maneira de automatizar as alterações do nome dele, creio que não seja um problema. É que eu nunca mexi com o Aegisub, por isso não consigo te ajudar nessa.

Não é falha de tradução, são apenas algumas frases que poderiam ser escritas de forma mais "agradável", para fluir melhor, apenas detalhes.
Só que como disse, para eu corrigir em inglês é difícil, só posso ter certeza quando algo está escrito errado e precisa ser corrigido de todo modo.
Enfim, vou fazendo até o episódio 21, depois vemos se faço mais ou se mais alguém aparece para ajudar.
Em primeiro lugar e principalmente estou fazendo isso mais por ser "chatão".

É, infelizmente nós não temos muita margem para sermos chatões com séries tipo WMT, porque já é difícil encontrar algumas delas legendadas, então o que vem a gente aceita do jeito que tá. Não estou desmerecendo seu empenho, longe disso, até porque eu amaria que as legendas fossem as mais perfeitas possível, mas acho que essas correções só serão válidas se forem aplicadas em todos os episódios para não ficar um conjunto discrepante (legendas variando de qualidade uma das outras) e, francamente, eu não acho que muitas pessoas aqui estarão dispostas a ajudar nessas alterações.

I'm watching through this now, and so far I've noticed a few file kinks in those early episodes (before the commissioning) that I'll pass along:

1) My download version of Episode 6 cut off about 3 minutes before the end (including the ED and preview, so about 1 minute before the end of the ep proper). The stream (and the download of the stream) badly misprocesses those last 3 minutes too.

2) My download version of Episode 8 was missing about 20 seconds in the middle (it skips to the end when it hits the missing part, but if you drag it back to a bit after it left off, the rest is there). I re-downloaded the ep and the issue remained.

Ep 8's the last I've seen so far, so there may be some other issues. It's possible that the errors are due to something on my end, I suppose, but I figured this info may be helpful to somebody.

Yup, I've got these problems too, but these are the only subbed versions I could find in the internet :/ But these problems surely won't happen from 16 and beyond, as they are from a different rip.

Just wanted to say thanks. I've been wanting to watch Katri for a while now, and now it's possible only thanks to vini's initiative. I still can't say anything about the quality of the subs, but I already watched episodes 1-17, and at least I can say the previous work (1-16) was well subbed, and while episode 17 had areas to improve (but it was the first subbed episode, so I can't judge on it alone), it was more than decent (I'm sure some people here are aware about how bad subs can get, especially on older anime).

So again, thanks a lot for this.

Hello! Thanks for this. As great fans of WMT and a finns it's really interesting! But: we just downloaded this from nyaa but are unable to play the files with VLC (on a Windows 10) or other most common video programs. What program do you use to watch this (MKV - WNM3 file)? We would really appreciate the comments!

The correct is Abel. On jap sub is Abel. I don't know about the Finnish book, but that doesn't matter because it's an adaptation, and in the adaptation they adapt and change whatever they want.
