==Absolute Duo - Translations of the Color Illustrations==

Hello RikiNutcase, I'm currently editing the color illustrations of Absolute Duo. Cleaning the pictures and typesetting the translations of the original Japanese dialogue, that is. Now, the thing is, I'd like to ask you to help me with translating this particular phrase: 俺は・・・・・・俺にはやらなくちゃならないことがあるんだ!! (Source: https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:Absolute_Duo_Volume_1_Colour_4.jpg) I'm not quite sure how to interpret this phrase exactly--what I have is this: "I... I shouldn't be the one doing this!!", though, I'm sure that's completely false. So, therefore, I'd like your input on this. All of the other sentences are already done (for Volume 01, currently) by me, as well as the editing of 3 of the illustrations. The one I linked you to is the last one of volume 01 that I still need to complete. I'm looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards --[[User:Luciful|Luciful]] 1:53, 11 September 2015 ([[User talk:Luciful#top|talk]]) (CET)

Can I suggest creating a project specific terminology page? Astar and Luficul should be Aster and Lucifer respectively. It's Latin reading, and I can't believe no one has pointed that out for 3 volumes.--[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] ([[User talk:Hayashi s|talk]]) 12:01, 20 June 2014 (CDT)

Hi Riki, I was looking at your user page and I saw under 'Translation Status' that you're asking whether you should continue ON or AD and I'd like to put a vote to AD. However if there's a better place to do this please let me know and furthermore, thanks for translating and putting in the hard work. --[[User:Aurst|Aurst]] ([[User talk:Aurst|talk]]) 16:00, 26 January 2015 (CST)--[[Special:Contributions/27.253.90.110|27.253.90.110]] 15:59, 26 January 2015 (CST)

Hi RikiNutcase,

I have been following the Absolute Duo novels for a while now, and I would like to join as an editor to clean the novels if that would be acceptable for you. My reason for this is that while I know translations are hard to do, and this site is by user contributions only, I believe that the readers and fans deserve to have the chapters flow well.

Thank you,

Dr4cul

Sweet jesus your TL speed is out of space! Nice going! [[User:Cautr|-cautr]] ([[User talk:Cautr|talk]]) 06:04, 25 November 2013 (CST)

umm..For Volume 10 chapter 3, "He remembered being told to use this connectable special line even though the communication station might be blown off by the space quake." I believe it sounds a bit off. Instead of 'even though', won't 'even if' fit into the situation better? 'Even though' refers to a definite outcome while 'even if' refers to a possible outcome imo. Kotori should be informing Shidou that he could use that special line on the possibility that communication station might be blown off instead of the communication station will be definitely blown off.

"...Miku feel to her knees and collapsed...". Should be "fell"?

" rhe wings behind Origami spread up, down, left, and right, after Origami swung her hand from above straight downwards." Should be "the wings"?

"“My will determinations not change. My mission will not change. I will deny----All Spirits!”" I think that 'will determinations' should be 'determinations will'.

Everything I mentioned are of course just my opinion and I do not have the raws to confirm. Might just be my misunderstandings. Thank you for translating :"D. [[User:Resoundz|Resoundz]] ([[User talk:Resoundz|talk]]) 19:44, 12 July 2014 (CDT)

"Shidou made a relieved sigh for now. But, they were currently in a situation where they can be optimistic.<Fraxinus> still cannot be contacted, DEM’s secret move. "

Um I found it a bit conflicting. Is it not "they were currently in a situation where they can't be optimistic" instead? [[User:Resoundz|Resoundz]] ([[User talk:Resoundz|talk]]) 09:05, 30 July 2014 (CDT)

Umm, what did Rozen say? Can I continue or should I stop?

Could you please double-check the volume 12 chapters translated by Vizar6991? Some parts look like taken straight from a MTL engine.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]])

Hi, RikiNutcase. Firstly I just want to thank you for translating The Reunion with Twelve fascinating Goddesses, and currently I'm translating it into spanish and I was wondering if you can translate the color images from this novel. I hope to get an answer from you very soon. And if you want to check our translation you can see it [https://draigludz.wordpress.com/the-reunion-with-twelve-fascinating-goddesses/ here]--[[User:Darkdraig|Darkdraig]] ([[User talk:Darkdraig|talk]]) 18:20, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, RikiNutcase, well it's me again after a long time I haven't made any progress about the translation but right now I'm back, and currently I'm working on vol 2 chapter 5 so I wondered If you could help me with the translation of the color images for volume 2, thanks a lot for your time and I'll be waiting your answer.--[[User:Darkdraig|Darkdraig]] ([[User talk:Darkdraig|talk]]) 04:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Yo Riki,

Mind if I help out once in a while with editing?

Thanks,

--[[User:Mashiro|Mashiro]] ([[User talk:Mashiro|talk]]

Dear riki,

I would like to have permission to revert my previous edits on Absolute Duo for the following reasons:

1. With my edits the flow of the sentences is easier to understand. Ex:

'“……………why don’t we try buying as much gelato as you can eat for now? If you cannot finish then I will eat the leftovers.”

Because of me forgetting, her disappointed look was really pitiful and after I brought up an idea-------

“That is a good idea.”'

Logically, wouldn't Tooru FIRST think of the idea THEN state it? The current organization makes it seem as if Tooru said something THEN thought of it. The reason I swapped sentences was to improve sentence flow and logic. As a result of my changes, the chapter was easier to understand and read. Thus, I believe my sentence swapping was the correct method of approach.

2. The revision of the sentences makes them less clumsy and overall, easier to grasp the underlying meaning. My edits never changed the intention, nor the tone of the sentence. These sections were so painfully written, there is no other option than a complete overhaul of said section. Ex:

"Looking at the pile of clothes she tried on, as they started entering the list of purchase, I thought she bought too many as expected and if I did not tell her it’s about

time we should head to other shops then I would have no idea what would have happened."

There is no possible way to rearrange words in order to turn this into a grammatically correct sentence. My edit to it is drastically easier to understand while retaining the original tone and meaning:

"Looking at the pile of clothes at the cash register, Yurie bought too many clothes (as expected). If I hadn't told Yurie it was time to go to other shops, I have no idea

how many clothes she would have bought."

There are many other sentences where shifting around words are impossible. Ex:

"I gave up denying since anything I do will be useless and made a nod mixed with a wry smile."

This is a blatant run-on sentence. Once again, my edit retained the original meaning and tone while correcting the grammar of the sentence while making it easier to understand.

"I gave up on correcting the misunderstanding. I nodded while giving a wry smile."

There are many more cases such as these that my edits corrected. Once again, this improved the flow of the chapter while making it easier to read.

3. You mentioned to me that the periods indicated the amount of time the characters thought. I believe that changing the "..................." into "..." like I did was correct for two reasons. 1. It's grammatically correct. 2. It makes reading the chapter easier on the eyes, thereby making the chapter easier to read.

I apologize for not informing you before I made these edits (I'm new around here), and during the time of edit, I hadn't read the guidelines for editing yet. However, I do not believe this puts me in wrong (involving the changes I made with my edits), as my edits made reading drastically easier. Thus, I would like your permission to put my edits back into effect.

tl;dr My edits improved grammar, sentence flow, and ease of reading

I apologize about my mistakes with chapter 3 of Absolute Duo. I just felt that so many things were out of place.

Apologies,

NoodleShopRampage

Hi Riki!! Regarding my recent edit, you reverted the 'blonde' to ' gold'. My assumption was from the vol cover page showing the blonde girl. It will be helpful if you can tell what 'gold' means for this case. I am just curious abt it. Thanks. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 06:46, 2 December 2013 (CST)

Thanks Riki. Will keep in mind about the same while reading. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 06:46, 2 December 2013 (CST)

I'll give volume 1 a read again, but don't remember anything being too off there.--[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 09:42, 9 May 2014 (CDT)

Eh Riki I'm just going to clean out and update the editors, most that are listed haven't contributed for like half a year so I'm going to clean them out. Just search up their contributions for proof. --[[User:Dual Blades|Dual Blades]] ([[User talk:Dual Blades|talk]]) 23:16, 4 June 2014 (CDT)

Ah, thank you so, so much for translating Data a Live! I really appreciate it! Thank you!

The Reunion With Twelve Fascinating Goddesses is really good! Thank you so much for translating it.

Thanks a lot RikiNutcase !! Keep it up !! Hope you'll continue translating this novel and maybe I'll bother you again with the second volume's images when I'll start translating volume 2. --[[User:Darkdraig|Darkdraig]] ([[User talk:Darkdraig|talk]]) 03:55, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

== Recent Updates ==

Halloo~ I've been running around lately and turning the Updates section of project pages into transcludes ([[Accel_World#Updates|like this]]). Do you mind if you I turn the update sections on your project pages also into transcludes? Like: <code><nowiki>{{:Data_A_Live:Updates}}</nowiki></code>? --[[User:Cloudii|Cloudii]] ([[User talk:Cloudii|talk]]) 18:37, 10 February 2014 (CST)

:You put a noinclude around the updates (and everything else) you don't want to see on the main page. Then you would add your new updates directly to the update page. I'll do so you can see. If you don't like it, feel free to change it back. --[[User:Cloudii|Cloudii]] ([[User talk:Cloudii|talk]]) 21:54, 10 February 2014 (CST)

== Noucome ==

Hello, I was just wondering, are you still looking for Noucome editors? I'm interested in editing for that series, and I don't have enough posts on the forum to PM you about it, so I decided I'd ask here. Sorry if this is the wrong place to make a request like this.

==Absolute Duo Translator==

Hi Riki, Would you mind if I register as a translator. I'm not really skilled though at translating but I'm in the middle of studying Japanese.
