Oh nein! Ich bin ein Mädchen!
Gender | | |
This is a webcomic in which the artist tries to depict the consequences of someone like him (22 year old graphics design student called Jan) becoming female over night.
As he tries to be realistic, this is no comedy or action loaded story. There is no magic or science fiction apart from the char ...more |

I thought there was an earlier thread about this webcomic, but if
there was, it's not attached to the posting.
http://www.metamorphose.org/entry/show.htp?rowid=7973&se0=entry&se1=show&sas=se0%3Dentry%26se1%3Dsearch%26%26q1%3DOh%2520nein%2521%2520Ich%2520bin%2520ein%2520M%25E4dchen%2521%2520
Curiously, I found that page by a title search, but could not find
it when I went to "Categories: Webcomics"list.
Anyway, my question is: I recall someone saying they wanted to
provide an English translation, and was hoping that the project was
coming along.

I've been following the comic. The link on this site isn't the most
current. The comic is updated every monday on this message board.
This story is exactly my cup of tea. Right now Jan is trying to
convince her school friends who she is. The comic has been going
for over a year and it's only the 3rd or 4rth day.

@guest
Please read the first post in the thread you linked.
@Masashi
The webcomic category is listed in that entry. That must be a bug.
Maybe related to the non-ASCII characters in the title?
I don't remember anyone talking about a translation

CJ: Could this thread please be attached to the title entry?
Guest & Magma: Thanks!
> I don't remember anyone talking about a translation
I know I read that on some forum; I sorta think it was here, but I
could be mistaken. If not, would anyone fluent in German be
interested in taking up the idea? (I don't mean it has to be with
the artwork all re-ballooned; just a prose dialogue translation to
follow along while looking at the comics.)

Strange... it doesn't show up in any of the categories it's under.
>>> "CJ: Could this thread please be attached to the title entry?"
Sure, since this thread is about translation of the content. A
question that is sure to be repeated.

I sent the author an email.
He gave his ok to link directly to his comicforum thread from
metamorphose.org.
He furthermore told me that he plans to start releasing an English
version some time next month.

Hi,
just to explain the publishing mode:
Jan is updating the Comicforum thread weekly with a new page (at
the moment, he is much involved in the English translation, though,
so the updating might not be as regular as in the past).
At Comicgate, we upload not pagewise, but chapterwise, so that
people can read the whole story without having to fight their way
through all the comments in between the single pages at Comicforum.
The starting point is here (if it's okay to post a link?):

Hey guys,
the English translation has taken much time. Some native speakers
and fans of "Oh nein! Ich bin ein M�dchen!" were kind enough to
help.
Now, Jan has finally finished this huge task. :)
Thanks to a name suggestion from one of the native speakers, the
English version is called "She !s me" (the literal translation
would be "Oh no! I'm a girl!").
We will upload one translated chapter every few days until the
comic has catched up with the German edition (at the moment: third
chapter of act three). The first chapter of the first act is online
now.
This is the direct link to the English comic pages:
http://www.comicgate.de/webcomics/she-is-me

here:

Jan designed a desktop wallpaper, so please feel free to download
it.
Please remember: The webcomic is still ongoing, so don't expect a
completed story after a few weeks of uploading the English
chapters.
Enjoy! :)

Comicgate, thanks very much. I got enough from reading the German
to enjoy it, but with the English it's even better (I mean, easier
for me to read). Looking forward to more.

I puzzled out the German more or less, but the English is easier
for me too (been a long while since I've had to use German and most
of my vocabulary is gone -- and I don't know today's slang). One
thing I like is how the new girl's face is just a tad homely and
all the cuter for it, what the French would call a _jolie laide_, I
think -- and her body quite nice. She's a scrumptious little bit of
crumpet (now going a bit Brit), and suddenly BEING her is quite the
situation.

CJ: The page says it is listed as being under the three categories
of: Gender, Male to Female and Webcomic -- but the title does not
appear when you go to any of those categories.
I finally found the page only by searching "m�dchen" with the
diacritical mark. A search of "madchen" brought no results.

I guess I should add that I just submitted the English translation
webcomic "She is Me."

Submitting the 11/20/08 question below again, hoping for an answer
this time. An update on the question is that the English
translation "She is Me" is now in the archive, but like its German
version it is not included on any of the Gender, Male to Female and
Webcomic "category" pages.
Once it disappears from the "What's New" page, the only way to
access it will be by doing a word search.
How many more entries are likewise not on their "category" page
lists?

Well, "Oh Nein, Ich ein Mädchen!" has finished and I'm not sure
it's worth waiting for an English translation. I thought I was
reading (the best i could translate) a drama but it ended up being
dark, depressing and nihilistic. I get the feeling the author got
tired of telling the story so he provided an ironic and mean
spirited ending. Of course, a lot could be lost in translation so I
don't want to disparage the author without fulling understanding
his intent. However, after following this comic for a couple of
years the ending just felt wrong. Too depressing and cruel.

Didn't they stop translating it more than a year ago? I don't
remember there being any translations past the same certain point
in the comic for quite a long while now. I would like for them to
finish but it seemed like they dropped translating it at that point
and never resumed.
