1) Asuna is Kazuto's lover, not Kirito's.
2) Kazuto's surname is Kirigaya, not Kiriyaga.

p.6 http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... _-006.jpeg
In the pic: "So, I heard about yesterday."
In the text (5-4): "I heard, the day before yesterday."
Which one is correct?

p.8 http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... _-008.jpeg
In the pic: "In the real world, it belongs to the object sniping category"
In the text (5-3): "In the real world it was classified in the anti-matériel sniper rifle category"
Is it the same text in the original? Is so, it should be "anti-matériel sniper rifle" in the pic too I guess...

And below: "In <<GGO>>, <<Hecate II>> is one of merely 10 <<Anti-Equipment Sniper Rifles>>"
"Anti-matériel sniper rifles" too...

"In <<GGO>>, <<Hecate II>> is one of merely 10 <<Anti-Equipment Sniper Rifles>> that cannot be found in shops, it is also the rarest type of <<Excavated Weapon>> that cannot be bought in shops."
Two times "cannot be found/bought in shops" - is this correct?

Tell me please what's written in the lowest part of this page? I recognized only "original: Kawahara Reki" and "character design: abec"

[Tap]

The line above Kawahara's?
It's just "Artist: _____" (whatever that artist's name is).

The other side's the (Chinese) scanslation group's credit.

南十字星 would be Minami Juusei

I intended to complete my registration at the tournament and then move slightly far away from the presidential estate

Is this correct? AFAIK there's no "additional registration" there; Kirito registered a day before and didn't need to "complete registration".

Another question, about criminals and criminal guilds in SAO. Are they "orange" or "red"?
(orange was used in vols 1 and 2, and maybe later too; red in vols 5 and 6)

Seriously...I went on an indefinite hiatus for a few days, and such a topic popped out? Goes to show that while many are kind enough to defend me, some just feel like complaining and not doing anything while keeping their butts on the seats while people are working. Well, I don't blame them for not saying such things straight to my face anyway since there's a powerful firewall of cowardice called Anonymous, so here's a challenge. (BCoFM members, these are on the google docs, so help feed them if you can.)

Haa...I won't be uploading these if you don't edit them then. [links removed]

Anons creep me out, their eyes creep me out very badly, so I'm restricting access to 11 and 12 until I've gone through them. So far, they haven't done much anyway. Any anon out there who wishes to tell me otherwise can say so and give me proof.

[Cryum]

Woah, didn't know that there was so much hate going around.

I didn't know SAO was being translated from chinese though. Maybe I should consider helping out then.....

[Pryun]

You can translate from anything,but preferably source language. fear not, some people can check for you if the versions are different.

[Guest]

This may be a stupid question, but how are the japanese vs. chinese books of SAO different? Are they worded differently or something that makes each one radically different than the other? Do the covers of each book look different as well?

[Pryun]

The chinese books are translated off japanese books. how are they different? they are as different as those in english and japanese. Different language, translator error and all that.

*Only for Japanese original. There are Chinese Original Novels as well, which are translated. BT mostly deals with JP LNs.

The chinese books are translated off japanese books. how are they different? they are as different as those in english and japanese. Different language, translator error and all that.

The problem is when we translate from a language to another, then a third one. Or even a fourth one. An example :
Japanese -> Chinese / Korean -> English -> Alternative Project

This way, we lose a lot of accuracy from the original text.

Another question, about criminals and criminal guilds in SAO. Are they "orange" or "red"?

My impression (may not be right) you become orange when you attack other player outside town and not during duel mode, and become red when you actually kill other player outside of duel mode.

So I assume orange guild is like a thief guild, forcefully robbing items off other players but not killing, while red guild (Laughing Coffin) is to kill using either direct or indirect methods.

[Pryun]

@misogi Yeah, so you should at least check with the raws, SAO French Translator.

@Beginner I got the same impression too...
