;Format | |||
:By now I think I've found the lightest possible format : | |||
:*plain-faced, indented text (leading ":" tag) for speech | |||
:**custom indents possible with multiple ":"s | |||
:**emphasis (intonation etc) with italics | |||
:**inline directions in bold (see below) | |||
:*directions in bold | |||
:**Small headers (leading ";" tag) for voice tags, capitalized. | |||
:**inline comments in brackets '''(like this)''' | |||
:**paragraphs typeset in bold, either with triple ' or ";" | |||
:**custom indentation for directions with leading ":;", "::;" etc | |||
:**custom emphasis through capitalization, italics etc as needed | |||
:*maybe plain-faced non-indented text could be used for some kind of directions too | |||
:*IMDb's standard for inline directions is [''this''] | |||

;Names | |||
:Make up your mind with capitalization and such (is it "Smallgirl", "SmallGirl", "smallgirl"?). | |||
:Until then, I'll write "small girl" and "old man", just if they were common noun groups. | |||
:And I won't systematically capitalize the names in the directions : "Konoko" etc are fine. | |||

;Edits | |||
:I took a few liberties when reformulating the directions. | |||
:I don't have the heart to do the same for the actual prose. | |||
:(even if it's not exactly correct English for the most) | |||
:Most of the time the problem is that I have to thoroughly understand what a sentence means. | |||
:And I just don't. Actually, grammar/vocabulary/syntax are only one half of the problem. | |||
:The risk of a mistranslation is doubled by the underlying abstract thought. | |||
:So I'd suggest to systematically develop on possibly ambiguous tirades out here. | |||
:(I know that's not what you'd normally do, but there's no other way to fix up the translation) | |||
:Alternatively, you can just put the Italian sentences up as well, and I'll take it from there ^^ | |||
