Edit question: Hi there, just would like to check, as I am relatively new to editing here, I normally try to keep the text as true to the 'feeling' the original translation shows, since I believe the awkward wording is an attempt to direct translate into english grammar. So I would sometimes edit the text in an roundabout way to try and keep the content and context the same, while leaving some of the text as is to preserve the Jap 'taste'. Just would like to check if this is true for most of you editors/translators.
I personally think it's fine to reword it to whatever flows better in English, and if that ends up changing the original meaning then the translator would change it back, and at that time you'll know to leave it. However, this depends highly on the translator, and some of them might be too busy to watch all the pages they translated for changes, and would prefer you notify them before making any big changes that could change the meaning of entire sentences/paragraphs. As you can see, I don't really know the answer to this question either :< jonathanasdf 02:04, 9 December 2011 (CST)
Haha, ok, I guess its "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" Who edits the editors version. Lets just keep an eye out for each other, and do discussions on the talk board if any.--Gabgrave 02:54, 9 December 2011 (CST)
After this chapter, I give a nickname to Quenser. "Quenser, The OBJECT-blower". Now we just need to wait for Heivia's heroic act to give him one. Xenocross 00:43, 10 December 2011 (CST)
Text in part 8[edit]
Hi, just want to clarify, the part during the bath where she was saying to bring him to the interrogation room, did she ask a question before that that needed him to be honest about? I edited to try to fit the converstaion since it did not seem to have a question before, just a statement. If there was a question, please let me know so i can revise the edit thanks.--Gabgrave 20:48, 11 December 2011 (CST)
