: Sure.  Today I'm working on 160 and 161.  After that I can fill in the missing chapters in v14.  To avoid any potential problems, it's better if I start 141 from scratch.  140, I'll leave it to BT to decide how to handle it.  - [[User:Onii Sama|Onii Sama]] ([[User talk:Onii Sama#top|talk]]) 11:32, 25 August 2014 (CDT)


Can I leave 153, 154, and 157 to you as well? I think you technically already did 153 and I was just going to check that since I had no idea who was translating it before, though honestly I don't have the time right now so I'm just holding things up on that end now that most of the other chapters are done by you. 

If you take over them since I'm technically "retired" I'll just focus on TLC/Edits and checking references, I think you were translating from the Chinese translations? Not sure if any references or anything might have disappeared on that end. Thanks, I'll remove my name from them for now, and in worst case if you don't accept I'll get to them when I have time and only re-add my name after they're done (if no one else does them first). --[[User:Dark Kaito|Dark Kaito]] ([[User talk:Dark Kaito|talk]]) 00:04, 26 August 2014 (CDT)

: Sure thing.  Happy to help anyway I can.  From my perspective, any chapter I translate from CN is another chapter you'll translate ahead of them. I didn't translate 153 though, and not sure exactly who did.  

:I am a CN translator, fluent and native speaker in both languages.  The CN translation is relatively solid most of the time, so I feel pretty good about my fidelity.  Several problems with CN script though:

:* Honorifics are often dropped or incorrect, thus my scripts will have Brother as stand in for Onii-chan or Nii-san; and missing -sama and -san throughout.
:* Formal names are guess work unless previously known.  There're quite a few new characters in Vol.15, like the 12 Familiars, and I'll need help with those.  I try to keep the original name in <nowiki><ref></nowiki>, so if possible please check them out for me!  Same goes for attack names, incantions.
:* A few Chinese script chapters did not preserve the original short sentence structure, but combined paragraphs and sentences.  I can only follow along.  

: Additional to issues with the original script, I have problem with tenses, and don't have an intuitive understanding of what should be proper.  This is mostly a job for an editor to correct, though. -[[User:Onii Sama|Onii Sama]] ([[User talk:Onii Sama#top|talk]]) 01:09, 26 August 2014 (CDT)
