User talk:Chancs

Hi there and no problem, as you probably have seen in the front page I'm just giving something back to the community. First of all its my first time using this thing(which is why it took so long for me to get back to you) so I have no idea if im suppose to respond here(because i looked in your user talk thing but I don't see a category that fits this kind of reply but I'm just going to post here anyways so you see this lol) but if so I want to be able to do all of Volume 12. However since this is my first time translating and I still consider myself a beginner, it will move at a slower rate than the other translators. If you don't mind that and you like the quality of my work(the prologue) then I will sign up for all of Vol 12. Thatsjustpeachy 13:36, 10 June 2012 (CDT)

Silver Cross and Draculea

Haha, I did take it from the Madan page. I wasn't really sure what a preview page was for, so I just kept it. Thanks if it was needed (I still don't know what it's for, haha). Genesis (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2012 (CST)

Hey Chancs, sorry for my mistake of changing everything to the past tense. I was checking the changes and noticed that you corrected every mistake that I made. But thanks, I know not to change the tenses now! <- Edit: never mind since you changed some of them. Still somewhat confused. I'll read today-tomorrow, and hopefully by then I know what's happening. But thanks again Chancs! Genesis (talk) 22:47, 16 November 2012 (CST)

By the way, Chancs, if you have the time, please fix the narration in Volume 1. The main character, Kujou Hisui, is referred to as "Hisui"(his given name) rather than "Kujou" (his family name). Thanks! --Zzhk (talk) 22:37, 4 January 2013 (CST)

Normally, the convention in English is to narrate in past tense, but since the Volume 1 translator has resisted some edits of that nature (I think kira tried), I'd say let it be for now. --Zzhk (talk) 23:21, 4 January 2013 (CST)

Good job on the "Kujou" update, but don't forget about all the "Kojou" misspellings. Lol and thanks for the effort. --Zzhk (talk) 08:17, 7 January 2013 (CST)

Hi Chancs, "magic eyes" sounds more and more stupid, so could you change all instances to "mystic eyes" instead? Also, please fix ArchMageXin's use of "Kujou" (or its misspellings) in the narration (he updated V1C2). Thanks! --Zzhk (talk) 06:54, 11 June 2013 (CDT)

Ryuu to Aitsu to Kawaige no Nai Watashi

It's great to hear you're looking forward to it :) But, I won't be putting the text onto the wiki until I finished translating the whole chapter. It might take a while since it's 93 pages long. Stellarroze 17:10, 2 March 2012 (CST)

ummm...that's rather...oh well, 'will get a whole chapter 2 read. Good luck with it :) --Chancs 23:45, 2 March 2012 (CST)

High School DxD

The fallen angels don't have a god, since they are... well fallen from grace. Azazel is widely acknowledged as the top leader among the other fallen angel leaders. It's kinda confusing, but that's how it is. Kokobiel is an ambitious fallen angel leader that overstepped his boundaries. -Hiro Hayase 00:31, 5 March 2012 (CST)

In lieu of the text, 10 grade student and etc. are not used in the translated volumes at all, I'm changing it for consistency. In Japanese they use this naming system to refer to the following grade levels. 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year. It is already a well established fact that it takes place in High School. --Hiro Hayase 15:50, 9 March 2012 (CST)

Then let's compromise. 1st year high school student, and so. Use those to be specific. Btw your looking at this from a non-Japanese perspective. In other LN's you will see this commonly, 3rd year middle school student, 2nd year high school student. They do not use grades at all. Kuou Academy has a high school and university section, that's only a brief introduction to the characters its not going to deviate from the story. --Hiro Hayase 16:06, 9 March 2012 (CST)

They use the 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, so on for all the levels of education. Different system than the US grade system. It's a cultural thing, but I expect most of the people that read LN's or manga to have some grasp of Japanese culture. We used Kuou Academy over Kuou Gakuen (means school) because Kuou has a University section, so it made more sense to use Academy. -Hiro Hayase 16:23, 9 March 2012 (CST)

I fixed the problem, but many of the chapters are missing chapter headings. You did everything right except that you didn't add the 2nd part after the | thing. --Hiro Hayase 23:34, 13 May 2012 (CDT)

RE:Tenses

For the most part I think they're present tenses since those narrations are supplementing what's going on currently, but there are some past tenses here and there when they talk about what already happened. I say for now just go with whatever makes the story flow and if you have any specific questions, just let me know. Kanannon 03:05, 19 March 2012 (CDT)

If you mean the little "quotes" in () <-these things then they're more or less part of the translation. Some literal, while others loosely.

Kanannon 03:05, 19 March 2012 (CDT)

Practically all Japanese novels are narrated in the present tense except for discussion of past events. But normally, present tense doesn't work well in English for narration. Most of the time, our approach would be: Past tense for narration, present tense for thoughts and monologue, and sometimes present tense for present setting related narration where past tense may not make sense. --larethian 04:23, 19 March 2012 (CDT)

Blade dance chapter 8

クレアの激情にこたえるか It responded to Claire's fury

のように、like, as if

黒い焰はますます燃えさかる。 the black flame blaze even more

The line doesn't say that's why it blazed even more, it only implies so.--KuroiHikari 05:13, 29 March 2012 (CDT)

It's fine as long as the meaning doesn't change.--KuroiHikari 05:36, 29 March 2012 (CDT)

Blade dance project

Well, I pretty much think that there was something wrong with me when I started to translate the novel; I don't have much experience in translation, and neither Japanese nor English is my first language. Anyway, I am a big fan of this series, and it feels good to spread the love. As for the project supervisor, someone more capable should take the job. Thanks for editing this series. I know I mess up the grammar and wording a lot. Sincerely, -- nikuniku.

you did a great job. so whats your next plan?--RikiNutcase (talk) 08:01, 17 February 2013 (CST)

Hi there. Thanks a lot for answering my question. I guess a level 2 protection (blocking new and unregistered users to prevent vandalism) is sufficient for the main page of Blade Dance Vietnamese. If you could implement it for me too, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance --Doomlord (talk) 07:29, 18 July 2013 (CDT)

Thank you a bunch. I am soloing the project right now but my spirit is still quite high. I guess I may as well finish the remaining 9 volumes :D --Doomlord (talk) 07:34, 18 July 2013 (CDT)

Tabspace

Difficult question. The use of tabs is not normal on Mediawiki based sites afterall. The first choice is to copy the character I'm about to give in the following quotes:

" " (copy in edit mode please).

Now if you want to indent a whole paragraph then that's simple:

simply write a colon(:) at the very start of the paragragh as shown here (see in edit mode). Do you see it. I'm gonna write some non-meaningful text now so that you understand that using this method will indent the whole paragraph and not just one line. So don't take it the wrong way, okay? Do you get it? You get it don't you? Of course you got it! There's no way you couldn't have got it, couldn't you? You did, didn't you? Of course you did. Ahem, that's all.

I'm afraid that's all I can do since tabspace isn't normally used in websites, only on paper. Zero2001 - Talk - 07:24, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

See this for more details. Especially the Indented Paragraphs (Quotes) section. Zero2001 - Talk - 07:30, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

This could be exceptionally useful to you. Zero2001 - Talk - 07:33, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

But personally I'd giveup on tabbing. It doesn't suit the web, only pdf or word files or paper(hardcopy). Zero2001 - Talk - 07:37, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

If it's song lyrics (single line each) then just use the colon(:) method. Zero2001 - Talk - 11:21, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

The more colons(:::*) you put the more the text will indent. Zero2001 - Talk - 11:21, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

See. Zero2001 - Talk - 11:21, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Chancs, if you post the raw and the translation (only 3-4 lines?) then I'm sure someone could "fix" it to look like in the raw. Vaelis 12:47, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

You don't have a pic of the raw? Vaelis 14:55, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

For that the best way would be to use tables or the div tags. Zero2001 - Talk - 14:57, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Like so:

Zero2001 - Talk - 15:06, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Forget about the pic, I've downloaded the raw. Vaelis 15:35, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

After looking at the raw, I think it's wrong to add those tabs... The only tabs are for one line "Lears neckt ele ravience Shadir Isa jes qusi xin fears toga peg ilmei shel" and there is no tabs in the raw anywhere else. Vaelis 15:45, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Ah, I apologize for the commotion about the tabs. On the raw, there were slightly larger spaces between some of the furigana-style words on the side (i'm not really sure what to to call them...) On the chinese version that I am translating from, there are also slightly larger spaces between some words. After googling it, I've actually fixed the spacing by using the '& nbsp;' code. And using lot of them. It looks really messy in the editing view, but it's okay on the actual page view.

I personally think that it looks better with this kind of spacing, but if you feel that it's wrong to add them, then feel free to undo my edit :) --Mystrael

Appreciate the help

All right, then I will make sure to contact him. Thanks again. Dexios (talk) 06:04, 17 September 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the help, everything seems to be fine, regarding the language. Bicube told me to inform him when I complete the first chapter so he can check the pages, but I guess that is no longer necesary? Dexios (talk) 05:50, 17 September 2012 (CDT)

Thanks a bunch for helping me out! I got the chapter posting down but I'm still struggling very hard with the images:/ Every time I upload them they just save under my contributions instead of going in the caption box like I'm hoping.

Rinkan no Madoushi

Hi!

For the first line, you're right damaged would be a better word than hurt.

For the second line, the sound effect in Japanese was "konkon". Here's the definition for it: http://jisho.org/words?jap=konkon&eng=&dict=edict . What do you think would be best?

For the third line, would "Celo removed his arm's power, as soon as he recognised the figure." be better? I misunderstood the sentence as I thought Celo was about to fight, but in fact it's the opposite. My translation never made sense in the first place. Here's the original Japanese - " その姿を認めるや,セロは腕の力を抜く。"

For the fourth line, they're talking about the same person. "He" is the guy that Marill isn't allowed to talking about and "She" is Marill herself.

Blade Dance

You should take a look at the General Discussion thread in Auxiliary Brigades. - Florza

I leave that to KuroiHikari. I'll retranslate the entire thing if I looked at it. Florza (talk) 06:42, 30 September 2012 (CDT)

I'm working through the chapters but it's moving slowly (due to my lack of time and the amount of inaccuracies in the translations). So, it'll be long before I reach there. --KuroiHikari (Talk | ) 08:26, 30 September 2012 (CDT)

Well, I did consult Florza (talk) about it on IRC, which in the end:

<florza> sheesh, because of that the militant (?) Fahrengart family is....

<florza> that's the line. Koakuma (talk) 04:16, 19 October 2012 (CDT)

Mmm...? Yeah, Florza's also at the Campione IRC (Rizon Server. Channel's Campione) Koakuma (talk) 04:54, 19 October 2012 (CDT)

Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai

I'm not doing the PDFs, because I don't know how to, but the person doing so should probably create a new forum thread, then create a link on the wiki itself. I'm pretty satisfied with the translation, I don't foresee any major changes coming up, so if you want to/know someone who wants to create the PDF, go ahead.--Hayashi s (talk) 10:00, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

Stalled Projects

Yes. Once there was an extra link in the sidebar for stalled projects, but since that is gone they reamain in the sidebar as they are. Beside this its not in my power to change the mediawiki sidebar.

The first Ch of volume of one is already fully translated by a user buddy of mines. And I was offer help from a another blog who are going to work on the project as well.

Thanks for pointing out, but even after going through the raws, the author did not mention whether she was the surviving descendant or direct descendant. It only mention the descendant. So we can only assume that she was the only direct(Ref Volume 3) and surviving (she was the only one mentioned currently) descendant. However, if I am not mistaken, in V3 mentioned that the two families fight was passed down through the generations, so maybe she is the reincarnation. If you think the current sentence feel a little awkward, you can edit it(I think it is a little, like it is hanging.) since nothing was mention at all.
