Character Introduction

Could someone translate the character introduction first because it's quite hard to keep up with the sheer number of characters in the novel --Decemdies 15:41, 18 November 2011 (CST)

Since the translators are busy irl (including myself), you can use the character infodump for the time being. (Credits to Zeroblade).--Suiri Megami Alice 05:13, 18 November 2011 (CST)

Oh yeah,now that's a lot of help.Thanks(Zeroblade too).--Decemdies 13:58, 25 November 2011 (CST)

Editing required?

Just wondering whether you need an editor to look over the translated sections and improve on the sentences and everything like that. If you do, i'll try to look through what's been translated so far, though i really can't keep to a regular schedule, so if you do accept my help, at best it'd be quite infrequent, especially during school. But yeah, it all depends on whether you'd like my help or not. Skarlath 07:06, 2 December 2011 (CST)

Please yes. I'm begging you on my knees. Fix my Japanglish. -YoakeNoHikari 17:58, 2 December 2011 (CST)

Ahahah well ok then, i'll start immediately after exams finish, which is in a couple of days time. So sometime next weekend i'll try to see what i can do. But i'm going to remind you again, i'm not the best at sticking to a schedule... Skarlath 21:43, 2 December 2011 (CST)

Yeah, like I'm awesome at sticking to a schedule, (what schedule?) At any rte, I have exams too, so I'm not really going to be t/ling; take your time : ) -YoakeNoHikari 01:39, 3 December 2011 (CST)

Well anyways, please take a look at the discussion page for the prologue...and i'd like all translators for this series to look at it and tell me what you think. Skarlath 08:08, 3 December 2011 (CST)

Light novel?

Are you sure they fall into this category? Length-wise, they are technically doorstoppers... --Kemm (talk) 06:23, 16 September 2013 (CDT)

Oh no, they're light in the sense that reading them will make you enlightened. A Buddha of skintight suits~ --Nackbjorn (talk) 10:31, 1 January 2014 (CST)

Technically the "light" part of the term Light Novel refers to the relative complexity of the kanji, not length , something Middle-schoolers and High-schoolers should be able to read. That said, I hear this series is called "The Dictionary".SonodaYuki (talk) 19:27, 2 January 2014 (CST)

Is it too late to edit chapters that have already been collected into epub form?

I just started trying my hand at editing, and I've seen a few typos in the first and second volumes but I don't want to mess them up if they're supposed to be "frozen" now. --Txtracer (talk) 01:52, 16 November 2014 (CST)

Don't worry, you can edit all you want, we can make a new version of the ePUB after that. I was thinking to do a new editing, so you will have my gratitude if you fix the bad grammar and typos there. Strike Forcer (talk) 07:02, 19 November 2014 (CST)

I'll jump on those as soon as I get through with 3-A, unless you'd like me to tackle them sooner. Just let me know. --Txtracer (talk) 20:59, 21 November 2014 (CST)

English [UK] vs. English [US]

Is there a preference for one method of spelling over the other? Whichever one is chosen, it should probably be consistently followed...being American I'm not an expert on UK spellings but I'll do my best if that's the preference. --Txtracer (talk) 03:38, 6 December 2014 (CST)

I think that js06 uses US spellings. Strike Forcer (talk) 10:15, 7 December 2014 (CST)

Sommelier vs. Connoisseur

I've noticed that the translators have been using "sommelier" a lot to describe Toori's boob fixation. A Sommelier is someone who is able to analyze and classify wines by sense of smell. I think the term Connoisseur is more likely to be what was intended; a connoisseur is someone who is an expert and enthusiast on some subject, and Toori is certainly that when it comes to mammary glands.

You can blame Kawakami for that one. He uses the word sommelier himself. -Js06 (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2015 (CST)

After some further research it turns out "sommelier" is probably OK to use as a description of Toori's interests, although IMHO it is a less familiar term than "connoisseur" which I think works better anyway (a sommelier is a trained professional while a connoisseur is an amateur enthusiast). But if that's the actual word he's using then I suppose we should use it too. --Txtracer (talk) 00:45, 2 January 2015 (CST)

...and then I see he actually used "connoisseur" in Volume 3(A) Chapter 17. Wah! Consistency is the hobgoblin of lesser minds and editors... --Txtracer (talk) 01:02, 2 January 2015 (CST)

Mito-tsan

Another thing I've noticed is the use of -tsan instead of -san with Mitotsudaira in the short version of her name. I've been taking the t off because I'm not familiar with that usage, but is -tsan actually correct? If so, I'll put it back.

-tsan is one of the cutesy non-standard honorifics Naito tends to use. -Js06 (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2015 (CST)

ok, I should leave it alone then. I'll revert those. --Txtracer (talk) 00:38, 2 January 2015 (CST)
