== Bilingual's name ==

I am hesitant to bring this up so late but I do feel that this needs to be addressed. After watching Born as I was translating the first chapter of EX, Ise ability Bilingual was brought up in the narrative. While the katakana was hard to read since it was written in furigana style, I'm fairly certain that it says Pailingual, with Pai being short for Oppai. Moreover, listening to him name it in Born, it does sound more like Pailingual than Bilingual. I did try checking with volume 5 of the raw novel, and while it's hard to be 100% certain, I'm confident that it does in fact say Pailingual. (For those not versed in Japanese, Bilingual would be written as バイリンガル while Pailingual would be パイリンガル, with only the first character changing slightly). Since it's no simple thing to change an established name, I wanted to bring the issue up for discussion to see if a consensus could be reached.[[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 23:47, 2 November 2016 (CET)

I don't have a raw to check but I can see how that mistake could have been made especially since it was a different translator than usual who translated volume 5. It would be nice to have a link to a picture of the place in the raw where Bilingual first comes up to verify for sure.  Another minute possibility is the translator didn't want to deal with the pun (Though I think that is extremely unlikely because Oppai is used regularly during the translation and it could be simply put as a TLnote). If it is mistranslated and the translator approves someone will have to go and fix all of them (though a ctrl+f could help remedy that.)<br \>

:Regarding the raw, I have scans of volume 5 in front of me. The technique name first appears on page 327. I can try to find a link if you want to check it. I got mine on jcafe. I could also upload an image here if you need. [[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 00:47, 4 November 2016 (CET)

::Yeah I'm an advocate of buying the raw (usually a 5 dollar ebook) when translating a series so I don't like using those types of raws. It also gives a lot clearer look at what it says. So maybe upload a pic so I can take a look. Edit: I decided to buy the raw to check it out for sure and it definitely says "パイリンガル"<br />[[File:パイリンガル.png]]<br />[[User:Yascob99|Yascob99]] ([[User talk:Yascob99|talk]]) 22:38, 4 November 2016 (CET)

Okay now we have a problem the project manager is Code Zero, I haven't seen him active in a long while so who do we contact to for the go ahead to change the term? I would just change it but I think for such a large change in terminology, someone should be contacted or at least give the go ahead to do so. We could at least inform zxzxzx. I'm doing that as I post this.<br />[[User:Yascob99|Yascob99]] ([[User talk:Yascob99|talk]]) 23:03, 4 November 2016 (CET)

You can find Code-Zero at his blog @ https://shincodezeroblog.wordpress.com. See if u can contact him thru there ... He is currently translating final part of 4th Arc and is active these days.

:Ok. SO I got in contact with Code-Zero/NoMan and he has acknowledged that Pailingual is the correct reading. I'd be willing to begin making the edits if everyone is on board with it but since I'm an active translator I would prefer if an editor offered to do it (B-T policy even encourages translators to avoid editing themselves).

: Hi guys. Sorry for the late reply. Ijust found about this issue few hours ago over skype. Thanks for pointing it out. I have made edits to the translation. Cheers. --[[User:Code-Zero|Code-Zero]] ([[User talk:Code-Zero|talk]]) 01:24, 16 January 2017 (CET)
