How I Translate

You may think this impossible to translate, if you were to see what I do translating a whole bible and reverse engineering it, but for me, the exhaustion is only in overworking myself.

The first step is translating into Ngavat. You begin at the end of the Holy Bible, which you may know is Revelations, chapter 22. I use a New World Translation, but I don't think it matters what translation you use. Then, I open a notebook and grab a pen, where I begin letting my hand do the scribbling. Ngavat is a very scribbly dialect, and on occasion, it shows distinct images. The Bible is incredibly long, so I make sure to have multiple notebooks on hand.

The second step is to transcribe back into English. If you've already started reading, you will see a major difference in the text. For this, I read the energy of the Ngavat verses. If I'm unsure, I run my finger over the verse and sometimes say it out loud. For word processing, I use Scrivener, as it keeps things neat and tidy.

There will be pictures of this process some time in the future.
