=== '''Questions and Answers''' ===

'''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. Since I'm waiting for the Chinese translations on Volume 9, I will be going back for the side stories in Volume 5 in the mean time.

'''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 want to join the project, where do I sign up?'''

I don't have the power to actually grant that since I am not the project leader for MKnR, larenthian is. If you are interested in joining the project, drop by the Feedback Thread to let larenthian and Seitsuki know. Following that, inscribe your name onto the [[Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei:Registration_Page|Registration]] page next to which chapter you would like to work on. I will '''not''' provide RAWs, so do not ask.

'''7. 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.

Hm, seeing how between you and Sashiko you seem to have the remaining two volumes covered.. anything you'd like assistance on once I finish up Yuutousei? Or are you guys fine? [[User:Seitsuki|Seit]] ([[User talk:Seitsuki|talk]]) 23:42, 8 February 2013 (CST)

:I think we're solid for now, but do be on the lookout for messages from me regarding future Miyuki scenes. Unless, of course, you don't want them. /end sarcasm. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 10:57, 9 February 2013 (CST)

How are you translating 灼熱? I put "Flaming Hot" but, since I haven't posted chapter one of Volume 8; I can change it if you have a different translation[[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko|talk]]) 20:33, 14 February 2013 (CST)

:"Scorching" is how the various other translations have it, though I personally leaned towards "Burning". I'm currently going with "Scorching", though.

I have added the missing lines in chapter 6 and 7 of volume 6, tagged with <nowiki></nowiki>. Probably you want to edit those to make the sentences or its surroundings flow more nicely :) [[User:Arczyx|Arczyx]] ([[User talk:Arczyx|talk]]) 01:47, 19 February 2013 (CST)

:Got it. Thank you very much. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 10:16, 19 February 2013 (CST)

Alright will start reading Mahouka to check for spelling and grammar after I wake up. If I find something who do I contact about it then? [[User:Medisuena|Medisuena]] ([[User talk:Medisuena|talk]])

: It's a wiki, feel free to edit typos and grammar if you see something wrong. Just check the project specific guidelines/ general guidelines before starting. Can be careful about changing the meaning of the sentence, unless you think it needs changing then point it out in the relevant discussion page before making the change. --[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 21:40, 28 February 2013 (CST)

Chapter 12 was awesome. BTW, Mahesvara(Maheshvara) is an alternate name for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God of destruction and one of the Hindu trinity consisting of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Maybe useful to add as a footnote.

Is Volume 8 supposed to have such short chapters, or were they simply summarized translations of the full chapters?

:Yes it is supposed to have such short chapters. The chapters alternate between present and past and so each chapter is shorter than in previous :volumes, but there are almost 3 times as many chapters than usual. [[User:SXIII|SXIII]] ([[User talk:SXIII|talk]]) 16:28, 3 March 2013 (CST)

Hey ,I have a question..Is Kazama a major or a colonel?? In volume 2 he is referred as a colonel wile everywhere as a Major.
=== '''Expressing Gratitude''' ===

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.....Dreyakis is back on action. Welcome back :)
Thank you very much for brilliantly translating this awesome piece of work mate. Really, your translation quality is something to talk about. Thanks again. --Naavi--

Already back to work? You are the greatest. Just curious, will you be working on Volume 9? =Rune=

Can I buy you a drink? Really, your work is awesome. [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]])

a question is it Lili or Leerin here on "To Dear Lilin Marfes. "

It's Lilin. I just prefer that spelling over Leerin (oh, since you've changed her name in the chapters, I'll endeavour to use Leerin from on then) - blewin

Heyo! I just wanted to say that Chrome Shelled Regios has been an amazing read and I can't wait to see more of it. Besides the fact that you two translators have a pretty amazing pace up, the story/editing (although I may not catch the editing as I read them right after they're translated in most cases) has been superb, as has the storyline. Keep up the amazing work.

thanks for the feedback, Blaster. Much appreciated. :)
Actually, the versions we put up have already undergone editing, but sometimes "freelance" people show up to help with further editing when they spot a mistake.
Again, thanks for the support! - blewin

==Lp==
YOU, YES YOU. I LOVE YOU MAN/WOMAN/THING! Your like a godly robot sent from pluto straight into our laptops. Thanks for translations. Hope you continue on and on and on straight into doing Sword Art Online after you finish :D

== Volume 14 ==

The chapters' page names are incompatible with previous page names. Please rename them. I would do so but it seems that pages of the target names already exist, making renaming impossible without first deleting the target pages (Should be a supervisor level or higher skill).

:::Current Page ================ To be renamed to in order to preserve continuity 
"Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter 1" = "Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter1" 
"Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter 2" = "Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter2" 
"Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter 3" = "Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter3" 
"Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter 4" = "Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume14 Chapter4"

== Gift prepared. Want it? ==

I have prepared a gift for you. [[User:Zero2001/Sandbox#New_Chrome_Shelled_Regios_Nav_Template|Wanna See?]] I can implement it if you want it. There are similar templates on Baka-Tsuki now and they have more capability Than the current one. All you have to do is write a single line/short piece of code at the bottom of the page after implementation instead of copying a long multi-lined piece of code. It is my gift to Chrome Shelled Regios. Docs will be supplied with template as they have in other examples. Check out their pages by clicking the '''v''' link in the first row. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 21:05, 6 August 2011 (UCT)

I'll go ahead and implement it then. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:20, 7 August 2011 (UCT)

You're welcome.
*'''Ans 1:''' On top of the nav itself are three links '''[v d e]'''. '''v''' will link to the main Regios Nav in ''view mode''. '''d''' will link to the ''respective discussion section''. And '''e''' will link to the respective subtemplate in ''edit mode''.
*'''Ans 2:''' I've done that for you. The mistake was in the page names. See Volume 14 section above. You almost carried the same mistake into Volume 15. Now that I'm of editor level I can fix the Volume 14 page name errors too. I'll do it now. Unless you would object.

#No, I mean the Nav Page itself. It's not on the sidebar and the main CSR page?
#I see, the spaces!
#How do I make a new paragraph?
[[User:Blewin|Blewin]] 10:17, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

*Ans 1: No it's not on the sidebar or the Main Page. The template would get messed up by newbies if it was too exposed. All of the templates I have made are thus. There is no point to having it on the LN Main Page because of the Chapter lists there. The Nav is supposed to be for in-chapter/in-Volume navigation only.
*Ans 2: You got it!
*Ans 3: For Normal Paragraphing just press enter twice to leave '''one''' empty line. The system will register that as the separation between paragraphs (it won't register as a new paragraph if you press enter only once, This isn't MSWord, more like Notepad). Bulleting and Numbering does not need the extra line, however, it does need for their codes to be placed at the beginning of a line (See this page in ''edit mode'' for examples). For bulleting you must put an *(asterisk) at the beginning of the line. For numbering you must put a #(hash) at the beginning (See above in ''edit mode'').

== Chrome Shelled Regios ==

Can I change all the "What's it?" to "What is it?" in the Chrome Shelled Regios light novels. Since "What is it?" sounds more concise than "What's it?" which feels awkward in almost all the character dialogues. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 20:45, 29 August 2011 (CDT)

sorry, been quite long since I last logged in. Of course. Feel free if you still wanna do so. - blewin

Okay, I'll make the changes. I'll skim through the volumes while I'm proofreading too. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 16:06, 9 January 2012 (CST)

Greetings.Thanks for the translation...I'm sorry about my earlier question.Haven't read your post regarding this one on the forum last december.My apology for the trouble that I may have caused.Have a good day.--[[User:User753|User753]] 20:13, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

Just passing by to thank you for translating Chrome Shelled Regios. Thank you very much.--[[User:LSwRl|LSwRl]] 13:21, 20 June 2012 (CDT)

Hi i just want to find out are you going to continue translating or if another translator will pick this up since it's been a while since the last update thanks in advance for any info

Hey,I'm curious has the project been dropped??? 06:44,28 March 2013

==Images- Chrome Shelled Regios==

May I upload some images? (Volume 15 images)

And do you know if "Seisen no Regios" is a series related with Chrome Shelled Regios? [[User:ClavelSangrante|ClavelSangrante]] 18:05, 21 January 2012 (CST)

Actually it is. It's a spinoff of Chrome Shelled Regios and a prequel of the Legend of Regios. See [http://crazy-cake.blogspot.com/2010/04/seisen-no-regios.html here]. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 18:35, 21 January 2012 (CST)
