Oh, i was wondering about your edits, it seems like you were adding new stuff with every edit, was going to start reverting it.

good job you made some noise here before i got round to it.

people, we reeeeeaaaallly need to know these things, if you want to help out and translate.

But just curious, who asked you to contribute?

[naturesbless]

Jumpyshoes said he told me to do it. But that's not true. I wanted to do it of my own accord. I was wondering whether or not to do it and the people in the IRC urged me on so I decided to do it.

hi! well, my prblm: while translating to spanish, I cannot get this sentence:

Apparently, the group can leave with the two moon ellipses; it is the day which Albion is closest to the world.

as far as i know, Albion is closest when the moons are full. i cannot understand what the 'ellipses' means here... maybe the orbit?? still it doesn't make sense to me... any help, plz?

thx!!!

Hey, I'm using the chinese RAW for the meaning. So accuracy is somewhat disputable.

But Albion, is actually closes when the moons are overlapping (hence the eclipse, as in one moon is eclipsing the other).

It sorta makes sense, the moon blocks the gravitaional pull of the other moon perhaps? Haha, using physics in a magical world...

But yeah, when he said eclipse, he mean when one moon is blocking the other two.

So:

-When they overlap
-When one blocks the other
-When they eclipse one another

[Hiyono]

The problem is it says "ellipses," not "eclipses." A small, but significant, difference.

[Xorius]

Oh lol.

Hmm... Perhaps a typo on his part? It wouldn't be too surprising.

Afterall, the Chinese RAW can be assumed to be more accurate?

But, without a Japanese RAW to verify this...

[onizuka-gto]

no.

I don't trust Chinese raws, considering they are 2nd translation from the Japanese source, its known the chinese treats these translation to....creative editing.

I.e. missing sentences or sections.

I still think if you want accuracy we will need Japanese source.

However, if you're not bothered about accuracy and just about getting the story across.....well. Chinese is fine.

[Macko Darlack]

well, i got mi japanese raw... but don't know where that part is...

Spoiler! :

if you want the japanese rawsm, there is a torrent file that has Vol 1-12 and the first side story. i still cannot find the others (Vol 13, 14 and side story II

but i think overlap or eclipse is good. maybe overlap is better.. so, how this 'eclipse' should be called?? Moon eclipse??

thx u all!

[Vaelis]

The current translation:
Apparently, the group can leave with the two moon ellipses, it is the day which Albion is closest to the world.


The Japanese raws:
二つの月が重なる晩の翌日、船は出港するという。なんでも、アルビオンが一番ラ・ロシェールに近づくからだというが……。

I think it's more or less "The ship will depart in the evening of the next day, when the two moons overlap. Because it's the day when Albion and La Rochelle are the closest."

[Macko Darlack]

thank u, sir! I kinda translated it like that so it is La Rochelle and not the world?? In my translation I put 'continente' (continent), 'cause it is both La Rochelle and the world is it fine or should i correct it??

ラ・ロシェール is La Rochelle

[Macko Darlack]
