thank you for all the good work on this project. i am not only a fan of topgear but also a beginner student of the russian language. its great to try to keep up with the idiomatic speech. I could not do it without the subs!

chitownjeff · March 28th, 2009, 2:31 PM

Yes, it does look bad, especially on my wide monitor. I have to read 3 words and then go to the next line. >_<

Interc3ptor · March 28th, 2009, 5:45 PM

I would be happy to translate, I speak fluid Russia/English (and german images/smilies/smile.gif

)

I don't post much, but I would just like to say that the group of people I introduced this phenomena to and I are extremely interested in this and all versions of Top Gear / Fifth Gear/ D motor. We think Top Gear: Russia is excellent and we will diligently watch each and every episode of that and all of those shows.

We greatly appreciate the things you people here at finalgear.com do for us so that we can enjoy our favorite TV programs. While timely releases would be appreciated, our greatest concern is for the episodes to be released at all. Please don't give up!

Hey... could someone point me in the direction of download-able D-Motor episodes? I can't find any reliable source for these.

Also, the word wrapping in unfavorable. Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but I have the same problem as Viper007Bond on my wide screen projector... some lines of text only have one three-letter word on them and as a result the text can take up much of the screen. images/smilies/blink.gif

Have a look around in video offers and FTP threads. Searching would've gotten you there quicker images/smilies/tongue.gif

I thought I've fixed the wrapping already images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Suedschleife · March 28th, 2009, 7:25 PM

First off, thank you to all project members. I enjoyed every episode of TG:R so far and the show as well as subs just kept getting better.

I know how hard it can be to stay motivated and have fun doing this, this is voluntary after all and people should get some pleasure out of doing it, not an ulcer.

Reliable team members with initiative can share the workload immensely and I hope you can keep the project going. I don't know how you're currently structured, maybe having more people (not necessarily capable of speaking Russian) to assign segments/time the subs/proof read/QA/distribution/guides for newcomers... or alternating roles can lessen the load and keep things interesting.

Thanks... I don't use this website for anything other than downloading episodes, I've never really browsed much. =3

We haven't watched Russia episode 3 yet, so that remains to be seen!

I can't help, since I understand Russian very bad (although being Czech and learning Russian at the moment) but I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to all the people, that are subtitling the TGR. I appreciate it very much.

ViperVX · April 1st, 2009, 2:03 PM

Is my memory bad, or did I not approve your request to join a few days ago? I can't see you in the member list at the moment.

lukenwolf · April 8th, 2009, 10:40 PM

MXM, I'm most likely useless in translating any phrase as I only understand abount 80% of 'em, but I might be helpful in refining the english phrases as I just acquired the highest possible diploma in english language. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Well thats the theory, last week I had a chat with some englishmen from hull and after 2 hours, they still hadn't noticed that i'm a bloody foreigner images/smilies/lol.gif

If there's any help needed with fine-tuning the english or placing the subtitiles - count on me - always willing to help images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Thanks for the offer. At the moment it seems that we actually lack active translators. Even though our group is full of people, a few do stuff regularly.

There's only one person doing the timing for the most of the episode though, so if you want to help, that's where it might be needed.

Suedschleife · April 28th, 2009, 6:22 AM

You need a central appreciation thread with all the team members in there so they can get +repped images/smilies/smile.gif

.

Just had a chance to catch up on 1x03-1x06 and I'm loving TGR with your subs. Thank you so much and please keep up the great work.

bmw745ion19s · May 7th, 2009, 7:07 AM

I havent had a chance yet, but id like to thank everyone whos taken the time to accurately subtitle the episodes and put in whatever work to make the RU episodes avail to us English speakers.

I really enjoy having my top gear thirst quenched, even if its only slightly until the real deal is back on.

I wish i had time to help you guys, but please keep doing it!

Thanks again! -Erik

dragonboy3000 · June 24th, 2009, 11:23 PM

MXM · June 25th, 2009, 7:25 AM

It's not much of a progress. When both, who do translating, are busy with other stuff nothing gets done images/smilies/sad.gif
