Excite Translated Assembly Guide

[alexj212 offline]

While waiting for my package and with my pent up excitement and anticipation, I spent some time cutting and pasting into excite and pasting the results back into adobe.

So here is a pdf with commented text boxes with the translations.

This is as good as the excite translation engine. Dont blame me for mistranslation.

Hi,

PS - It is a very big file so you might have to wait a LONG time before going through it (leave it on the first page in till it is fully loaded).

I forgot to mention, If anyone has any modifications send them to me and I can update the pdf.

Also I was thinking of setting up a wiki page for myself to post notes etc. If there is interest I can make it public, Or maybe one can be setup on RS.

Sound cool! Yha I think you should make public!

RS

RS, hmmmmm, oh you meen Robosapion?

RS - robosavvy, no robosapians here.

Wiki is always a good idea, and perhaps if you have a larger community working on notes the MANOI package will become more available. Goodluck.

I love the WIKI idea. If RS is not interested, I will be glad to host it, no problem! Which one would be preferred?? I don't have a lot of experience using other than wikipedia.

Hi, The new RoboSavvy site which includes WYSIWYG enabled user blog and articles posting, is almost done.
I'll contact you guys (slashsplat and alexj212) by email and give you the secret URL so you can upload your build experience.
(we're also interested in getting some beta-testers feedback ).

Hi, the translated link didn't work for me so I used some software to completely translate the manual text, keeping everything "almost" in line.

There are some interresting translations, but if you think laterally, you can usually get the meaning

Have fun and i'm not responsible for any mistakes or mis-understandings in there, if in doubt, find someone Japanese

I compared the translation softwares effort against the Google translator for the same paragraph and it show that Google is infinately better at presenting the meaning of the text in a readable manner. i.e.

Google translation

After moving the hand and foot by some hand, please turn off the power of one time, MANOITM throw power source for the second time. Slowly if attitude returns to foam/home position, it is success.



Software translation


One-degree MANOI TM The power supply ..drinking.. is turned off, and ..hands and feet.. somewhat.
The power supply is turned on again after it moves it by the hand and [kudasa].
..saying.. .Posture slowly : to the home position.
The success if returning.


It shows that if you are not sure of something and the diagram and text aren't clear, better translate in Google and then take your best guess

[Marcus offline]

The best section of the translation for me is when they are describing the tools needed;


"It uses it to tighten the machine screw of each part.
#0 ..drinking.. driver must refer to the size shown in figure."

Drunk, driving a car and building a robot... They must be talented.
