Rush recruts

Post by Chloros »

Hello guys,  ;D
I must apology if my topic isn't in the right place, but as this forum is the biggest I ever saw, I thought I could get some hints about scanlations and characters. Four questions, hoping the topic won't be destroyed in a spark.

*THREE*
The third question is about search engine. I'm trying my best to do a multilingual episode search engine. Of course there are I suppose a lot, but this one deals with Japanese, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese and Korean titles of the series. Though I could certainly deal with a certain Wikipedia for most of these titles and Google translator for the remaining titles, if there are volunteers to help me, it would be useful.

*TWO*
The second question is about general culture of DC. I'm still looking for complete names of some characters.
What are the first names of these characters?

What is the family name of this one?

Thought I still haven't looked over all of the cases they appear in (that's pretty hard, since I know no search engine which sort according to the characters), I'm sure DC fans may have known of their complete ID.

*ONE*
The first question is also about getting one new member. To be more precise, we're in a pinch with my scanlation team just because one of our two cleaners is going to Japan for about six monthes. I'm not the kind of guy who pressure the last cleaner to his limit by making him clean double number of pages. Since this job is not about languages, I'm now looking for another cleaner. S/He will ‘only’ deal with 8 or 9 pages of DC per week, and it can come in handy for his own scanlation team if s/he's not French, since I'll offer him/her the remaining cleaned pages. Well, that sure sounds crazy, but I do not want to use the Chinese scans, who are way too little for us and overwhelmed by advertising.

*水梨玲奈*
At last! Last question, this one is about real number of files, because I've found something strange when I try to calculate the exact proportion of files in each case. Well I don't expect you to understand French language. To translate briefly: ‘N°' means ‘#' (number), ‘Durée’ means ‘How long in chapters does this case last’, ‘Début’ means ‘Beginning’ and ‘Fin’ means ‘Ending’. The numbers are calculated in Calc (a free Excel) according to the number of chapter a case lasts.
Image
As you certainly saw it, the numbers of beginning don't match. But the formula is easy:
1) The first case is set. It lasts for 1 chapter, begins from chapter 1 and so lasts on first chapter.
2) The length of each case is set according to the volumes and files I have.
3) Number of the first chapter of a case = Number of the last chapter of the previous case + 1.
4) Number of the last chapter of a case = Number of the first chapter of this case + Length of this case - 1.

So where did I failed? Aren't all those files in tankÅ

Yumi's surname is Miyamoto according to the volume 49 character guide. Kobayashi's given name was Sumiko in her introductery data box in vol16.ch4. Looks like the others don't get intro-boxes, and are referred to by title or don't appear in the character guide.

Oh, you may know this, but you can search by character in Shonen Sunday's Conan database. (Not those characters, though... Well, not with convenient check boxes, haven't tried the keyword search... ETA: keyword search works, but Yuminaga is only Yuminaga-keibu (弓長警部) in the cast lists .)

That's somehow why I'm trying to create some kind of “completeâ€
