Volume 9, Chapter 3

Post by Darknemo2000 »

Forgot to create a threat. Actually i was thinking of stopping translating ZnT (and did, for a short while), not permanently but for quite a while. Well I won't be as active in the future. But still will translate a chapter or two.

80% of this chapter are up. Louise was total biatch.

Though I guess if I were a girl, and almost gave my virginity to the guy just to later find out him secretly groping other girls behind my back I would not be too pleasant either.

With the rampant (seriously unbelieveable) pace you kept up before I don't think anybody minds if you take a while or aren't as active as you used to be with your translations. But if you are to stop completely I fear it would be stalled indefinately.

Anyways as always keep up the good work.

I feel this might be one of those slower volumes. Hopefully we get some progress at the end.

Stopping translation? Aw.

Bit of a question about a translated part though. Louise calls Saito a 'Medusa'. Medusa was a specific person; namely a Gorgon. Did the Japanese part literally say Medusa, or did you translate it as that for better understanding?

Medusa as far as I know also means an animal in zool. (jellyfish). Both names mean the same jellyfish and medusa and since it was written as medusa in jap original I used medusa instead of jelllyfish.

Well Dark, whether this is the last chapter you do or not I'm really happy you've translated as much as you have. A little side note, I intended to try translating after the up coming holidays. Are you still going to be lurking around this board or should I try contacting you on some of the other forums you roam?

Well guys, translating isn't actually an easy work. It can be tiring after a while. Especially if you are working alone. (like Darknemo's case) And Dark has been going full steam for quite a while now. So he deserves a break, don't you think? =P
