Well here it goes...
http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index ... Preview%7E
It is longer than any other chapters I translated thats why it took me some time...Plus the Wardes part (being first one) didn't help the speed either. Oh well, at least it wasn't an emo swordswoman Agnes...
Well I dont know what to do next now.

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
I would say just re-translate it if it looks terrible/too much to edit.

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
The first chapter (well the 4th actually) looks pretty decent so far I looked over ten sentences and corrected only 4 things so I guess it is pretty accurate.
The 5th one though, even without looking at the japanese raws seem to be off...

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
Well I was asking you if you thought they were coherent enough to understand the story. I haven't looked at them myself. You could always go back and do them when you get some free time. Up to you really. I won't complain either way.

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
Ah it explains why it looks so good.
And the things that I corrected (well it is still corrected on my doc file, will upload correction on baka-tsuki later) are rather minor. Like Kirche saying not "Wow!" but Moo, Moomoo" (imitating cow)
By the way about volume 4 chapter 2 there is a part where Louise said "Agreee" it is not a mistake. Louise stretches the last letters on purpose to mock Saito more. Kind of cute but can be really annoying if you are the one who is mocked this way...

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
Whoever is editing my previews and is replacing the "**" with just spaces - I ask you to stop doing that. Because the spaces in this format doesnt help to see where the chapter part ends and where it begins.
Plus today the one that added spaces also added them in bad places like between Louise's and Saito's dialog.
So again, please stop edditing it into spaces. It would be ok if it were writting in the way novels are without bigger spacing between the lines but the way it is on the Wiki, the spacing between chapter parts is useless as it doesnt stand out as much as it should.
Maybe "**" is not the best way to mark separation for it, but it is still 10 thousand times better than spacing.

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
I was editing one of the chapters in volume 2 and saw someone had used a centered *** as a seperator. I might go back and add those in to seperate sections.
To make it obvious that Louise was streching out her words, you should probably add in a ~ to the end (And have her say "Agreee~"). I think anyone who'd read these novels would understand that.
Oh, Vael, were you the one who was using that centered ***?

Well thats a matter of taste. I found "**" to be rather nice...

I know it may be way out there guys, but what about "****"? Yeah, I'm a crazy out of the box thinker like that.

TGM...that's bloody brilliant, but 3 is a prime number and odd, so it is superior.

Re: Volume 4 Chapter 2 Preview Is Up
Got really unlucky yesterday, my hard disk went off due to virus, which basically means I wont be translating anything for now. And when I will be back - depends on weather I get my hard disk back to work or not. If not - it will take longer, if I will still repair with stuff saved then sooner. But probably nothing for this and probably next week for sure...
