No more transliterations are needed. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Instructions
Summary: Attempt to transliterate the images of Greek text below, and send your results in a Private Message to acunning40.
- Open DP's Greek transliteration tool in a new window.
- Resize that window so it's fairly small (you don't need all the white space around the tool)
- For each of the images below, use only that tool to attempt a transliteration. Please do not look for additional help on the wiki, DP forums, or PG website.
- Once you've finished all five of them, send your transliterations in a private message to acunning40
Notes
Read these too!
- Please don't worry if you have trouble. As explained below, I'm most interested in the things you get wrong, not what you get right. Some of these images cover items that aren't explained in the Greek transliteration tool, so you'll have to guess at times.
- Please just use what's in the transliteration tool and your own knowledge; don't look for additional information elsewhere.
- If you want to insert a [**note] in your transliteration, feel free to do so, like you would in normal proofreading. You can also add any comments that you like in your PM to me. If you were debating what to do for a particular item, I'd be interested in knowing your second choice, not just what you picked in the end.
- If you don't have time to do all five, then feel free to send whatever you did complete.
- New as of March 26: It would probably be good if you include the [Greek: ] markup, just like in normal proofing.
- Problems: If clicking on one of the Greek characters produces a question mark "?" in the transliteration tool, make sure that your browser encoding is set to Western European (ISO-8859-1) and not Unicode (UTF-8). This may be under your browser's "View" menu.
Basically, I'd like to know what kinds of errors people are likely to make when transliterating Greek. Because of this, the people whose transliterations will be most informative are those who have little experience with it. If you've proofed quite a bit of Greek, feel free to participate, but if you get everything right then I won't have learned anything.
