Heya,
I recently polled my followers on Mastodon which product on DriveThru I should translate to German (I'm a freelance RP translator) and this gem came up in the replies. I haven't found any other way to contact you, so I hope this works.
Please, let me know if you're generally interested in this, and we can set out to work on some kind of deal. I'd be keen to make this happen. :)
Cheers,
thom
Hey there,
that's a tough deadline. I have a Cthulhu thing for proof reading on my desk and a layout job as well. So ... possibly. ;)
How would you want to do this? I just send you the raw text and you put it into a layouted format? That's the only way I could see any hope for this working out so quickly :)
Oh great news! Sure, send it to me via email! I am preparing the layout and already found all the original fonts already. All of them were freely available (mostly Google fonts) and they support umlauts. :)
EDIT: For the Con I already translated the title to "Das Erwachen des Gutshauses Weidenhof" but thought about switching "Gutshaus" for "Anwesen" but you are surely a better than I am :)
Extracted, downloaded and installed all the fonts and just started playing with Illustrator. Did some translation in deepl and didn't give it much thought yet. Takes some time but when reducing the font size from 10 to 9 for the German text (and reducing the removing the space between paragraphs...) it fits snugly into the space (my screenshots are not perfectly aligned): https://imgur.com/a/k1tYnJE
EDIT: Just read the deepl tranlsation the first time now and oh boy it's weird. I would keep "old-school" and do not translate the word lol
EDIT2: tried fixing the bad translation a bit in regards of saving space. I think I get the hang of it! Happy to receive your translation and layouting it :-) https://imgur.com/a/KGj2pQt
