Can we be more specific?

[edit]

Some books of "In Search of Lost Time" are on the Internet Archive, but Charles Kenneth collaborated on some of the translation, and one is a revision of a collaboration. Can we make absolutely clear which edition we're trying to copy over, ISBN and all? 2603:7000:D03A:5895:7D38:9E6D:BE8:BE05 18:52, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but this text is an old one, added before we got our collective stuff together. The text there is probably some random "good" text that the contributor happened to have access to. If you're invested in this work you can help out by finding a good quality scan of a suitable edition (some prefer the first or earliest edition, some prefer the latest free edition, some weigh illustrated editions or similar factors; pick whatever criteria make sense to you) and noting it here. If you want to help transcribe that edition feel free to give me a holler and I can help you get started with setting up an index etc. (see also Help:Adding texts). You should probably also register a user account (completely free, email and such is optional, it just makes it a lot easier to collaborate). Xover (talk) 20:44, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Let's start at the beginning. Did CK even publish a completed translation of "In Search of Lost Time"? For all we know the longest novel in the French language doesn't have a complete translation by a single translator. 2603:7000:D03A:5895:A4A8:72CF:F085:2591 22:50, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
My mistake, someone uploaded the whole damn thing in 2018. :DDDD
