Discussion Do you do anything special when you MTL?

Yes, close the tab immediately and wait for months or years for translator san to catch up.

 

I procrastinate.

 

My eyes jump around the sentences.
Like, take an example sentence.
And then read it like this:

Like take sentence example then around eyes jump and this.

I know this happens because I do it unwillingly now. I sometimes see words that aren't there now because of my eyes taking pieces of different words and putting them together.

 

how to enjoy mtl 101:

• remember the 3 don'ts :

1. Don't Read any other, think of it as the last novel in the planet
2. Don't Digest, Just use your power of visualization & Imagination
3. Don't Think of it as English, think of it as Egyptian hieroglyphs waiting to be deciphered

• Working mouse scroll is a must
• Never Stop reading when you get your momentum, or you'll start from scratch again.

 

Well, in my case, when I start MTLing it is usually after I have read a few translated chapters. Once is start, I always question if I should just wait for the translator to catch up but then I MLT anyway. Skip a few chapters after being frustrated, then go back to where I stopped because I could understand even less than what I could before I FFed. Once I am done, I curse and hope that everything gets out of my brain and promise myself not to MLT again. Lol

 

honestly google chrome sucks
it doesn't recognise the difference between chinese and japanese sometimes
in fact, some phrases will become korean romanization for no reason

using word replacer 2 helps alot, but then you start to see how useless google translate is because it actually starts to cut several words out if you have too many terms in a sentence.
