I don't remember other things to config [?]) Atlas is going now xD
Ok xD... Ah one last thing... ABBYY Fine Reader 11... but... what of the options would you use in a jpg image (for example) to take the words? I used PDF/Image but... It's taking almost nothing : O
This is a bit off topic, but I haven't answered your question, though I recently got PM privvies. Yay. Anyway, I just downloaded TA and set it to run Atlas (which I had already), and I use google and excite because they work most of the time. Bing and Babelfish tend to give me problems when using TA, so they're more of my backup if the other three are just confusing as hell. Don't think I downloaded a dictionary, except for possibly any that may have come with atlas. I don't remember, since it was such a long time ago.
As for ABBYY Fine Reader, i just use whatever image format I have from the raws (jpg or png) and set the language to Japanese. That will come up with a lot fewer mistakes than "Japanese and English" as the language setting. The problem with Mahouka Koukou is that there are a lot of random english characters spread throughout for acronyms and junk (CAD and what not), so I had to use JP/EN, which gave me a lot of errors (hence why I read and based summaries off the web version).

As for something slightly on topic, I've finished Volume 3 Chapter 1. I'm at something of an impasse. I have a few things going on for the next few weeks, and I wanted to try something different, so I might put my effort into reading Parabellum before I continue with Volume 3. There are plenty of good summaries, though, if you have the mind to sift through the other forums.

Anyway, I hope this answers your question. We should probably avoid talking about this here, so it will be the last I mention it. I only said it 'cause I thought I'd update status on volume 3, anyway :(

Thanks EnigmaticAxiom. I never thought that machine translator can be this good, really. I really appreciate your hard work. And I'll wait for volume 3 :D

If they are that good you could add them to the wiki when you add the Preview tag.

I read through the volume 1 machine translated and I must say it is the best I've read. Had it not have some minor translation mishaps I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a manual translation. Go post that baby and have editors fix it.

Since Darklor brought it up in the general forum, I figure I'd post here as well. I've updated the wiki to include the full machine translation. I've gone through and edited it as best I can for grammar and spelling and what not, and I've uploaded a pdf as well.

Someone redirected the preview script to the other page, so I took that down, since I'm more comfortable with it more clearly being a preview script. Also, I wanted to know if I should just post the machine script for volume 3 on the wiki when I finish it, or should I post it here and leave it for a week or two before posting on the wiki?

That was me - Preview tag should be enough - not really a need to have that separate, since there is only a slim chance that there will be a normal translation anytime soon or ever

I should have the next volume done somewhat soonish. Should I post it here first, or just straight on the wiki? It didn't seem to cause any issues when I posted volume 3 on the wiki first, but I still felt a bit at odds for doing that when I suppose it was technically against the rules (?). I haven't received a response from some of the higher ups I PMed, as well. :o

I would say if they are as readable as the last one you could post them in the wiki - with prewiew tag...

AS long as you post with the "preview" tag, there won't be a problem.

Thanks for the volume in advance

*patiently(?) waiting* :P
