Apro questo topic dedicato ai fumetti The Greys, creati da Mark e Vince, due appassionati di disegno e Linux. Il loro blog è questo: http://www.peppertop.com/greys/ (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/)
The Greys , letteralmente I grigi in italiano, sono gli alieni di Roswell, quelli con la testa allungata. Da noi non hanno un nome particolare, mentre nel mondo anglosassone si chiamano così, the greys.
The Greys sono sì alieni, ma con dei vizi molto terrestri. Nel primo fumetto vogliono farsi notare, e invece di fare le solite cose da alieni, vogliono far credere di essere addirittura lo Jety.
Un po' alla volta tradurrò le strisce di The Greys, che saranno postate nel blog di Mark e Vince e qui, nel nostro forum.

English translation: I open this topic dedicated to the comics The Greys, created by Mark and Vince, two cartoon and Linux fans.  The link of their blog is: http://www.peppertop.com/greys/ (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/)
The Greys are the Roswell aliens, the ones with long heads. In Italy they haven't any particolar noun, but in the english speaking world they are called The Greys.
The Greys are aliens, but they have many terrestrial habits. In the first comic they wish to be noticed, and instead to do usual alien stuff, they want us to believe they are the Jety!
A few at a time, I'll translate the strips The Greys, that will be posted in Mark and Vince's blog and here, in our forum.

I saw only 5 strips at the moment. Marina can you write which strips are you planning to translate?
You can write just the  name and  on progress.

Like this we don` t duplicate the translation.What do you think?

I am Mark, one of the creators of the comic, and I'll be visiting this forum from time to time to answer any questions about our work.

I want to clarify that all of our comic strips are 100% made using Inskcape. As proud Inkscape users we also make our SVG files available for you to download for personal use. So if you see something in a comic and want to know how we achieved the effect, you can download the file and take a look (or just ask me here).

Many thanks to Marina for her offer to translate some comics, I'm looking forward to seeing our work spread across the world  yeah

Nel sito ci sono tutti i fumetti, basta cliccare sulla categoria comics. In effetti anch'io non li trovavo, poi ho capito come fare: http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/comics/ (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/comics/).

In the site there are every comic, you have to click the cathegory comics. Me too, I can't find it, then I understood what to do: http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/comics/ (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/comics/)

I'll send you an email with some more details.


If anyone is having trouble finding the comics, try this:

1) Go to www.peppertop.com (http://www.peppertop.com) - this will always show the most recent comic just underneath our header image
2) Below the comic there are a few buttons. You can use the "Previous" button to step backwards through our comics, or the "Random" button to jump to a random comic.
3) If you want to start from the beginning, click the small "First" button at the left. You can then use the "Next" button to step through them in order.

We post a new comic every two weeks (and sometimes more), so you can just visit www.peppertop.com (http://www.peppertop.com) occasionally to see the latest work.


I flattred you work....i clicked on flattr button on your site....good works....:-)

Thank you, it's really appreciated  :D

I've set up a spreadsheet on Google Docs to keep track of the translations, and spaventapasseri suggested I should post it here. Anyone can view it, to see what progress is being made:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aq_Bv_DvQyIjdHlPMGZNUHRfYUxsdzByUXl4ZGlnRnc&hl=en


If anyone else is interested in translating any of our comics please get in touch. I can then send you some notes and guidelines to help, and grant you permission to edit the spreadsheet so that you can indicate which comic you're working on. It would be great to fill out a few more cells in the document.

Hello Mark, how we can translate in this case?? (see attachment)
I can do a new path but the style looks different as yours has 326 nodes.
Have you vectorised, I guess the current one? Let me know

Hello Mark, how we can translate in this case?? (see attachment)
I can do a new path but the style looks different as yours has 326 nodes.
Have you vectorised, I guess the current one? Let me know

Vince drew this comic, and I hadn't realised he'd converted that text into part of the path. I would suggest that either you delete the nodes that make up the text from the path (leaving that section solid) and lay new text over the top, or you let me have the translation for that text and the SVG file of the other changes, and I can sort it out for you.

If it helps with the translation, the text is a reference to the 2008 X-Files film:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files:_I_Want_to_Believe

IMDB.com lists the Italian title for the film as "X-Files - Voglio crederci"


I hope that helps. Perhaps in future it would be better to email me with any questions like this. That way we can keep this thread for the finished translations, and it will be easier to discuss the "secret" Easter Eggs without spoiling the surprise for anyone who wants to search for them.

@XavUK

Can you create a simple page on your site to post all the links to the italian version of the comic ,please?


I've created a category for Italian, and added it to all the translated comics. I've also added it to the English version of any comics that have an Italian translation available, as there may be translated comics in future which aren't actually hosted on our site, so this will allow you to find those as well. The link below will show you all the posts that have been assigned to this category:

http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/translations/italian/


I hope that is sufficient for you. By using categories it should automatically be updated when new translations are available; if I create a specific page, there's a chance I'll forget to keep it up to date.

That's part of the fun!

For the translations I'll always tell you if there are more things to find which can be translated - sometimes the Easter Eggs aren't as simple as text. For translating I'll tell you exactly where they are, if you want, but I think it's more fun to have the challenge of finding them. Anyway, just the other week you complained to me that they were too easy to find ;)

I think you've found them all so far - with the possible exception of the one for "Crash!", for which I've given you some clues, but I don't think you've found it yet.

Sometimes it's not so easy to count them. There's one strip that's got dozens of Easter Eggs, but they're all hidden in the same way, so do I count it as dozens or just one? And what about the Easter Eggs that have, themselves, got Easter Eggs in them?

So I'll leave it as a challenge, but for translating I'll let you know if there are any non-obvious ones to find (like the one for "Crash!"). In fact I've been doing that today with OpenCode who needed a few clues to find a second Easter Egg in one of the comics, but he did get there in the end.

This comic, "It's Your Fault", was translated by spaventapasseri. On our English site it followed after "Greys in the Hall" ("I Grigi nella Hall") which can be found back on page 2 of this thread (click here to jump straight to it (http://inkscapeforum.it/international-section/the-greys-alieni-tra-noi!-the-greys-aliens-between-us!/msg1787/#msg1787)).

Another translation from Spaventapasseri. It's my fault that it's taken so long to post this, but I've been busy working on a CD of all the comics from Seasons 1 & 2, plus various extras, to celebrate the start of our third year. I'm pleased to say that all of the translators from this site have agreed to let us put their work on the CD as well. I'll post a bit more information about the CD soon.

In the meantime, this is a comic which originally dates from 1996. It only recently went on our site because the Easter Eggs require browser features that have only just made their way into Firefox 4...

Another translation by spaventapasseri, but this time with some artwork changes by me to make the final result more accurate for the Italian market. It's a parody of the film poster for "I Soliti Sospetti" ("The Usual Suspects" in English), so we took the time to change the style to more closely match the posters used in Italy, rather than just translating the text of the English version:

No more translations at the moment (if anyone else wants to translate any of our comics, please get in touch), but some other news instead...

We're creating a CD-ROM with all our comics from Seasons 1 & 2, plus a lot of extras. It not only includes all 57 English comics as PNG and Inkscape SVG files, but also all the translated versions that have kindly been created by Marina, Spaventapasseri and Opencode, also as both PNG and SVG files. That's a total of over 70 Inkscape files to inspect and learn from!

You can find more information about the CD's contents by clicking here (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/2011/06/update-on-the-season-12-cds/).

As a pre-order offer we're selling the CD for only £3 (about €3.50) for a limited period, rather than the usual £5. That price includes worldwide delivery. To order one, just click here to go to our "Tip Jar" (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/tip-jar/), donate £3 or more, and make sure you provide a delivery address.

Producing this CD has taken far longer than expected, for a variety of reasons, but we're nearly finished now. At the moment I'm putting the Italian pages together for the web interface we're using on the CD.

We currently have 14 Italian comics on the disc, but it's not too late to get more on there if anyone would like to translate something from Season 1 or 2. It can be as little as translating one or two lines from the comic itself, and you'll get a free CD for your troubles. If you haven't done a translation for us before, send me a private message with your email address and we can discuss it further.

And once again, thanks to Marina, Spaventapasseri and OpenCode for the 14 translations we already have.


In Italiano (Google)

La produzione di questo CD ha preso molto più tempo del previsto, per una serie di motivi, ma siamo quasi finito ormai. Al momento sto mettendo le pagine italiane insieme per l'interfaccia web che stiamo usando sul CD.

Al momento abbiamo 14 fumetto italiano del disco, ma non è troppo tardi per ottenere più in là se qualcuno volesse tradurre qualcosa da Stagione 1 o 2. Si può essere così piccolo come tradurre una o due righe dallo stesso comico, ed otterrete un CD gratuito per i tuoi problemi. Se non hai fatto una traduzione per noi prima, mandami un messaggio privato con il vostro indirizzo e-mail e possiamo discuterne ulteriormente.

E ancora una volta, grazie a Marina, Spaventapasseri e OpenCode per i 14 traduzioni che già abbiamo.

Marina and Spaventapasseri were kind enough to provide some additional translations to go on the CD - bringing it to a total of 20 comics in Italian, complete with the Inskcape source files.

I'll post the additional translations they supplied over the next week or so, in the order in which the original English versions appeared. The first, therefore, is "Muu", kindly translated by Marina:

OpenCode, we don't have any plans to sign up to Diaspora just yet. We're keeping an eye on the project, and may reconsider as it matures, though.

@Mark Spiders from Mars is hilarious  sunglasses, good job
Get away from her, you bitch  (()

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. For anyone that missed it, "The Spider's From Mars" is the second part of a pair of strips we've posted recently (in English):

Part 1: Mecha (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/2011/09/mecha/)
Part 2: The Spider's From Mars (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/2011/09/spider/)

As usual the Inkscape files are available to download, and have hidden Easter Eggs - but if you want to look for them, I suggest ignoring part 2 until you've found the Easter Egg in part 1, otherwise it will spoil the surprise a little.

And of course, if anyone feels like translating either of these into Italian, we're more than happy to hear from you  ;)


Far later than I planned, due to us hitting our bandwidth limit in September, here is the third translation that Spaventapasseri recently did for our CD, "Persi sulla Terra":

I just thought I'd share a little story with you...

This evening Vince, my colleague in these comics, came round to my house to work on "Monsters, Inked". He told me he'd bumped into Gina, a girl he knew from college many years ago and sees around town from time to time. She's from an Italian family; her grandparents moved to the UK many years ago.

She proceeded to explain how she was enjoying reading The Greys in both English and Italian. She then went on to say that her grandmother was also reading them, in Italian, and although she didn't understand all the jokes she very much appreciated the fact that the comics were even available for her to read.

So I'm passing on their thanks to Marina, OpenCode and Spaventapasseri - you've made an old Italian grandmother (and her grand-daughter) very happy  clap

Time for a little update on the translations fro "The Greys":

* We're near the end of our third year, with over 80 comics posted
* 22 of them are available in Italian (thank you :D  )
* Another 22 are available in French
* There are 16 in Indonesian
* There is only 1 in Spanish
* We've just received our first comic in Russian :D

I have more French and Indonesian translations in my queue to post - the figures above are just those that are online right now. I don't really expect to get many more Russian translations, as the guy who did it is only interested in the "Stargate" series, and doesn't want to translate any others. But it's still another language to add to our growing collection.

Another update: We've just started our fourth season of The Greys - that's over 85 comics so far! Our French translations have now overtaken Italian in number - we have French translations for every single comic strip (plus the commentaries plus the Easter Eggs) for Season 1, and several for Season 3. You can find out the state of all our translations from our Google spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq_Bv_DvQyIjdHlPMGZNUHRfYUxsdzByUXl4ZGlnRnc).

We already make all our Greys comics available as Inkscape files to download, but I decided to do something a little more to encourage people to use Inkscape. I'm using the experience I've gained through creating our comics over the past three years to write an Inkscape tutorial series for Full Circle Magazine. It's a Ubuntu Linux magazine, but the Inkscape tutorial mostly applies to Windows and Mac versions as well.

The first article - an introduction to the SVG format - is in Full Circle Magazine Issue 60 (http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-60/).

Thursday 25th October, 2012 - our 100th strip: "Centenary Correspondence" (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/2012/10/centenary-correspondence/)

And that's not just 100 comics. That's 100 comics, complete with Inkscape SVG source files to download, each with at least one Easter Egg hidden away in it somewhere (which are often whole extra strips). It's thousands of hours of work, and quite a lot of storage space and bandwidth. Our hosting charges have more than quadrupled since we started, so if you've been enjoying our work then please do consider making a small donation or buying a CD (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/tip-jar/).

Sam, our French translator, has just sent me his 100th Greys translation! What makes this achievement even more amazing is that they all include the Easter Eggs and commentary.

We haven't posted them all online yet, but you can keep track of all our translations via our Google spreadsheet - it would be great to get some more entries in the Italian column ;)

Thank you, Mark, for this post. In this period I am improving my English, so I will try to translate  some Greys strips.
I apologize for my silence, but I had a mental block with the language, after my trip in London. I thought that my English was bad and I was not able to write and speak in English.
Now I am doing some hangouts in English via Google+ and I am following some courses in Coursera, so I think I am able to write in a good English, and to translate in Italian.

Marina, I'm sorry to hear about your mental block - I thought your English was very good when I met you in London. (Certainly a lot better than my Italian!) It's easy to get a bit disheartened after being exposed to so many native speakers, as it can make it feel like you're a long way from being fluent. But do keep going and you'll get more comfortable with it in time.

As for the comics, of course we would love to have some more translations from you. As usual, though, there's no pressure - just do whatever you feel like, when you want to.

We've received a box of books ready for sale on Saturday. If any UK readers are in or near Aylesbury (Bucks), then do drop into Friar's Square on Saturday 4th May for Free Comic Book Day to say hello (and preferably to buy one of our nice new comic books, but that's not a requirement).

I've just put another French translation from Sam on our site, which finally means that there are over 100 of our strips online in French, with more still to post!

Things may have appeared quiet on the Greys front, but we have been busy behind the scenes...

First, we've been continuing to create our 'Elvie (http://www.peppertop.com/elvie/)' strip for Linux Voice (http://linuxvoice.com/) magazine. A few of those are now on our website, with the source files in our Github repository.

Secondly, we've been catching up with our backlog of French (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/category/translations/french/) translations. We now have all of Season 2 translated - in addition to all of S1, S3 & S4 and most of S5. Huge thanks to Sam, our French translator, for the amazing amount of work he's done!

Finally, we were having trouble keeping up towards the end of Season 5, so some strips went online without Easter Eggs and SVG files. This has now been rectified, so all 139 Greys strips on our site have Inkscape SVG files you can download, each of which contains at least one Easter Egg.

We've started work on Season 6 now, but the struggles of S5 have shown that we can't continue to hit a fortnightly deadline - not if we want to keep the standards up and continue to produce ever more elaborate Easter Eggs. So S6 strips will be posted on an "as they're ready" basis, rather than a strict time scale.


One final thing: we're going to have a table at Oggcamp (http://oggcamp.org/) in Oxford (UK) on 4th & 5th October. It's a "Free Culture unconference", featuring Free Software, Free Culture works, open hardware, 3D printing, and a few Creative Commons comics ;)

I've just posted Sam's final Season 5 French translation to our website. Meaning that, of our 139 Greys comics, he has managed to translate 138 of them, complete with commentaries and Easter Eggs! An incredible achievement for just one man in his spare time, and we can't thank him enough.

Now that we have a complete set of French translations for Season 1 & 2, I'm putting together "version 2.0" of our CD-ROM, with a plan to launch it at OggCamp next weekend. If anyone feels like creating a quick Italian translation for one of the missing S1 or S2 strips in the next few days, then I'd be happy to accept it. You can see the current state of all the translations here:
