Ah, I see. Thanks for telling me that.

Hehehe but isn't that how the story always progresses? Sorry but I can't help you with those.

From what I have seen, people who translate from Chinese to English have to generally just choose the most suitable translation, if you get what I mean. It's usually pretty inaccurate though because you are translating it twice, from Japanese to Chinese and then to English.

Have to get someone to translate it from Japanese straight I guess.
Don't you just love reading? I think it is one of the joys of life, where we can escape the cold reality of the world and exist in something so much more fun and exciting! ^_^

Well, considering that the story is set in Britain, and that the Chinese names are pretty accurate and precise to the Japanese name, the main point is that some of the names have to be changed to their English counterpart, such as 神性机巧, which is a MD by joint collaboration by various countries, so it has to have its English name, and also 完全制御振动 Fragarach(provided by the book?) a german name...lol

though 赤羽红翼阵 can be directly romanised from kanji since it's originated from Japan, however I'm not sure about the translations of the others.

when the cold chill the skin,
from the very within,
but you grasped my hand,
your eyes shedding a frozen tear.
Our eyes met,
and warmth filled the air.

Hahaha although I want to say : "Don't worry, it will all work out in the end", However, sadly the world isn't since a simple thing is it?

Well all the best there, I really suck with names heh :lol:

Anyways, you are already doing a swell job with ZnT. Are you planning to help out with KSwK too?

I won't be around for KWsK, cos currently still trying to get ZnT translated while managing Tokage No Ou(new one), but I'll just help filling the wiki out. :D Hayashi will do the main translations though.

Looking forward to more of this story, as I have mentioned. Can't wait for Hayashi to put out more of his translated work for us to read! :lol:

Just wondering but, am I the only one who feels the animation of the characters could have been better, like maybe more sharper looking over cute looking. Also I'm not bagging on it or anything, just an opinion.
