The famous novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville has recently carried out a translation by Fred Benenson activity to Emoji Dick, seen the first production (and maybe last!) Novels written in emoji.
What emoji? First, a definition; emoji is not a language, it is the Japanese character for the picture, or in the English language, symbols, sometimes lively, sometimes static. They were on Japanese mobile phones for many years to support standard, and was recently introduced to Google Gmail and Apple's iPhone, but Apple has sought to suppress support for iPhones emoji in non-Japanese. One might think that there is a connection between emoji and hieroglyphs, but as far as I understand the hieroglyphics codification of language and grammar have the most important functions are missing Japanese Emoji icons.
How is it implemented? Emoji Dick uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk to collect several translators, will be translated into every sentence emoji three times, selected with the best version of these three measures.
How will they be released? The output is available in both electronic form and that the first book printed emoji. It is printed on demand does not pick up efforts Emoji Dick in a bookshop. However, if it is successful who knows, it could very well see Emoji Dick sale in shops in brick and mortar.
But is it readable? In a word, no! One can not read Emoji Dick, but it must be interwoven with emoji Japanese and English translations printed. Think of it as a manga comic, who need the English translation of the page emoji like bubbles.
What other books are available emoji? So far, with Emoji Dick, it was a translation of the poem "What lips my lips have kissed" is by Edna St. Vincent Millay in emoji with the translation done by Ken Liu. In addition, I also produced a emoji Japanese national anthem. Kimi Ga Yo emoji with the alphabet limited to NTT DoCoMo of the first in the imagery of the national anthem to produce!
But why? Looking up, it seems that books translated from emoji is a futile task. I agree, why not? The Internet is not the Internet if it were not for unnecessary work and unnecessary pages, a role that corresponds to a Emoji Dick T!
