• Pony...Cameras?

    by
    Working retail for a few years, I have seen a lot of these camera things sit on shelves collecting dust until eventually they drop so low in price we pretty much give them away.

    But can ponies make them worth it?!

    (Probably not :3)

    That Applejack in the top left just looks...awkward.  Maybe it's a chiropractor before and after ad?


    Translation after the break!

      To co w takim razie z grą słów bazującą na imionach bohaterek etc? Np:
      "I'm Rainbow Dash and I dash away!
      I'm Applejack and I... .... I hate you, Dash." ;)

      Cały pic polega na tym by tłumaczenie stanowiło pewne.. wyzwanie. Do tego imiona odbijają pewne cechy kucyków i są ich integralną częścią, tłumaczenie ich z pewnością narzuci pewien infantylizm, ale jest on konieczny by oddać całą tą specyficzną otoczkę tworzącą świat kolorowych kucyków Pony (sic!). .....i że nie wspomnę tu o odmianie imion w naszym języku. Applejack, Applejack'a, Applejacką\kiem\ohgodwhy

      Na wikipedii jest cały artykulik o MLP wraz z tłumaczeniami starych imion. Jak na coś skierowanego na 8 dziewczynki to nie jest źle ;)

      Yeah, that's a bit of a mangled translation. It's actually more of "There [is/lies] the farm of the pony Applejack."

      Otherwise...
      @Anonymous

      This is pretty good. Except "zapraszamy" is more of "[we] invite [you]" (as it's "zapraszamy", not "witamy").

      And seriously, "mój kucyk pony" ("my pony 'pony'")? What were they thinking?

      So what magazine is this in? Was there anything more with ponies?

      About translation: Since names are meaningful, they should be translated. But so far all names were left as in original in all translations(correct me if I'm wrong), so I'm afraid "Cześć, jestem Rainbow Dash, a to jest Fluttershy" is a sad reality ;/.

      Not to mention "Kucyk pony" sounds stupid. Weren't the old cartoons translated as "Mój mały kucyk"(which makes much more sense).

      But hey, as long as we get ponies in Poland, i'm not complaining!

      Odmiana imion rzeczywiście jest przerażająca.

      Dodatkowo problemem jest fakt, że większość imion głównej kadry brzmi naturalne jako rzeczowniki rodzaju męskiego(temu jakby nasze kucyki były facetami, nie byłoby problemu tego odmienić przez przypadki: Applejack,applejackowi,applejackowi,applejacka,applejackiem,applejacku,applejack. Pestka. Ale konia z wąsem kto zrobi w sensowny i naturalny sposób to dla rodzaju żeńskiego...).

      There was /co/ thread about translating pony names into polish language some of them was sounded pretty, pretty good. I can't remember all of them but for example.

      Applejack - Jabłonka
      Twilight Sparkle - Iskierka
      Scootaloo - Zefirek
      Applebloom - Antonówka

      Drom what I remember Spike was the biggest problem.
      Despite fact names are translatable I would most likely stay with original ones.

      WHY? WHY? WHY?! We don't even have this show airing here in Poland. And who do they hire to write/translate this shit?
      The last thing I want is for Ponies to get here in this kind of quality. It's sad cause they will get here in this kind of quality, I mean even Naruto didn't escape it. I miss the golden Disney age when things got some attention during the localization, now those that do are rare exceptions like "Phineas and Ferb".

      Slowpokes. ALL OF YOU.

      This magazine has been coming out in Poland for a few years already, and yes, the art presented in it is based mostly on G3. It seems that they started putting some G4 in it lately, even though we don't have FiM in Poland. A few months ago there was this big FiM poster with the mane cast included as a gift and all (hardly worth your 8 zł, though). It's a magazine for really little girls (similiar to all those others Barbie etc. magazines), and the gifts are usually some kind of plastic jewelry so don't expect those cameras to be of high quality, either. They probably have some rotating pictures of the ponies stuck in it and that's it.

      And since 'Applejack' is some kind of a beverage made from fermented apples, I vote for Applejack's Polish name to be Jabol, o.

      I lived in Germany for a while so I'm quite familiar with these types of magazines. Kids' magazines in Europe are usually like this: they're based on a pre-existing cartoon or franchise (Mickey Mouse, The Smurfs, and Pokemon all have mags) very short (like maybe 60 pages total, and a third of that is ads) printed on really sturdy paper (so it's harder for kids to tear) and always come with a cheap toy.

      The toy is very often just a surplus toy that used to be sold separately but now the company wants to get rid of its extra stock. Since these cameras are covered with G 3.5 ponies I'm guessing that's the case here.

      As for the content of the magazines, you're not missing much. They usually include stuff like summaries of the episodes (big long ones with lots of screegrabs, to eat up space) a short comic (usually reprinted from another source) and character profiles (which never tell you anything you didn't already know.) There's never any new art produced for them, it's always recycled publicity art and screencaps. Usually you can find every picture from the magazine by going to google images.

      tl,dr: These mags are basically cheap cash-ins. They're also really overpriced (the Pokemon one I bought was the equivalent of eight dollars) considering the lack of real content. But they sell really well in Europe, probably thanks to the "free" toys (and the fact that kids in Europe ACTUALLY READ.)

      These are not to be confused with comic-based magazines like WITCH, by the way. Those are usually quite good and have a lot of original content. They're also aimed at a slightly older audience, and usually don't include a toy.

      @Cyfrostan
      Yeah, probably. Poo.
      I remember that on my VHS copy of Battle for Midnight Castle Applejack was translated into Jabłuszko, simple as that (followed by Firefly translated as Iskierka, Medley as Nutka, etc.). While there was seemingly no effort to translate the names into something closer to the original, I think that, in the end, it kind of worked. Tęczowy Pęd just doesn't have the same cool ring to it like Rainbow Dash does. Nevertheless, to whoever takes on the challenge of translating pony names into Polish: good luck! :)

      And it seems like German kid magazines are a lot better than those in Poland. Ours usually have like 32-48 pages, and that's it. The only thing they seem to have in common is the ridiculously high price, yes: my parents possibly spent a small fortune on the Donald Duck magazine for the kid Tańka.
