== Consultation on Fixing Non-js06-Translated Index Volumes ==

Hello again js06. I was looking at the earlier Index Volumes (1-13,SS1) and I have found that they are not up to scratch to what one would expect of a light novel translation (obviously not including your translations). A lot of the terms have been translated literally like in my above topic. There is little consistency in the terms used. Worst of all there are plenty of sentences throughout the volumes which are entirely capitalised. I am planning on starting from Volume 1 and try and fix things (including incorrect terminology and capitalised sentences) sometime later in the year. However, I do not actually have a physical copy of the earlier volumes so I have to rely on other methods of checking the original japanese (Manga Raws, Anime and Kanji on the Index Wikia).

I have found that the '''Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete Glossary''' is a good reference for translation. However, aside from the already translated and modified version on the wiki, I dont have access to the original scans so I can double check the translations and see which parts have been modified or reinterpreted by the wiki. '''Do you happen to have a link to these scans?''' (There was a statement on the page that you were the one who translated it.)

Lastly, I will inevitably run into problems when fixing up the translations and will require a more experienced translator with an actual copy to answer some more volume-specific questions (like the Belvedere issue above). '''Is it possible to consult you? If so, where would the best place to consult you be?''' Since I may build up a lot of small volume-specific questions, this talk page may not be ideal. '''Is there a better way of sending you questions on this matter?'''

If this is all too much of a hassle, please let me know. But the glossary scans would be incredibly helpful.--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S|talk]]) 06:59, 1 September 2013 (CDT)

'''''I've sent you the questions for volumes 1 and 2 to your gmail as suggested. I know that you will be busy for a while with translating other franchise related material (Accel Ch 1, Rail Ch 6?, NT Vol 09, Necessarius SS part 6), but I hope that you could at least put it on your agenda.'''''--[[User:OH&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S|talk]]) 00:18, 26 December 2013 (CST)
