| − | Hey Dreyakis! Thanks again for the awesome work. I know you do these translations for fun, but I wanted to ask: would it be okay to send you and some of the other translators/editors on this project a few gift cards or something? Without the Mahouka translators and editors many of us would simply be unable to enjoy a lot of these foreign works. You guys have worked really hard on these translations and I'd love to chance to thank you guys for the awesome job on Mahouka. [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]]) |
||

| − | :While I do appreciate the sentiment, we translators are ultimately just that: translators. We do not own the rights to the material and thus should not and cannot receive any profit or benefit from the translations. I am very happy to be able to work on Mahouka and bring it over to an audience that previously was unable to read this, but I will have to turn you down. In fact, the best thing you can do to thank us is to head on over to the Appreciation Thread in the Mahouka forums and tell us.

| − | :The short answer is no, I do not. In the past, most of the volumes that have been published have always contained material that had been published elsewhere (either in web format or in magazines). This might be the first time that we're seeing the author put to print things no one has ever seen before, and only time will tell whether this slows down future volumes. I recall that new volumes used to come out every 2-3 months, but it remains to be seen if he is able to replicate that speed.

If you are still interested in translating, can I ask you to start from Volume 2 Chapter 3?

Questions and Answers[edit]
1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?
I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)
2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?
Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.
3. So when's your next chapter coming out?
If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a rough estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.
4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?
Until otherwise stated, yes.
5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?
Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.
6. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!
Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.
