Campione! General Discussion

[joshuafaramir]

ALL HAIL ALEXOCONNEL!!! ANOTHER TRANSLATOR *cough* diety *cough* has descended from the heavens to grace us with his awesome and mighty powers of TRANSLATION!!!!

btw.. FIRST!

[alexoconnel]

I guess I should thank you for your praise?? >.<"

I'll be honest, the amount of free time I have is quite tight currently, so don't expect a finished translation of chapter 3 before mid November. But I have to say, it's most gratifying to see someone who actually reads Campione; I thought I was translating only for my own amusement.

Regards,
Alex

its the commitment and enjoyment that keeps us going, yet the encouragement and praises that gives us the extra boost. Don't work yourself too hard, and don't expect all the readers to express their gratitude, but just be glad when they do.

The higher the hopes you have for them, the more you will be disappointed. So just treat such things as a year-end bonus ^^

Nonetheless, good work!

I've got a query for anyone here who transliterates with any facility.
There is an eastern European name mentioned in the current chapter, called サーシャ・デヤンスタール・ヴォバン .
Does anyone have any idea what it means?

[Mystes]

...I understood Sasha, only.

Russian?

[alexoconnel]

Perhaps, or maybe some version of Germanic? I was wondering the the 'voban' at the end was actually 'von', but that's about the limit of my brain capacity.

[Mystes]

Best to leave a not on the bottom.

voban = von is unlikely. von = of in English, and if it's at the end of the name, you'd have to ask "of what?". Well, I don't know anything about this part, either, though...
DeYaNSuTaARu... Not related to modern German, probably, though you did say GermanIC, so you probably know that already. Scandinavia might be a good start, though. If I had to suggest a spelling, I'd probably go with Dernstal, though. Feels Danish to me... another direction might be the Netherlands, but their language and names are odd...

[YoakeNoHikari]

their language and names are odd...

Painfully true.

[alexoconnel]

Ahh...

Thanks for the help! I guess I'll ask the school jap teacher... though I'm not sure if that is exactly a 'field of expertise'.
Too bad there isn't a universal set of rule for whatever-language-name>katakana.

...*sigh*

[Darklor]

Maybe he mistook Seven for Alexoconnel? That's the only reasonable explanation behind that post that I can think of, at least...

Ah, yes that was what I did, thought he might have used another name since the other hadnt worked, havent had noted the different joining date, but since he is here now for sure at least

WELCOME! again

[alexoconnel]

Many Thanks!

Ah, I just got round to finishing the last of my exams, so I'm going to try plowing through as many chapters as possible now. I have to say, the HSC (Australian exams, NSW) ones this year were a Mikuru.
Oh well, back to chapter 3, I guess.

Anyone ready to edit 27k for our translator?

[wakusei]

I'd love to help edit with grammar and spelling if you guys would allow me too. I've been on the fence about doing it for a while, so if you would allow me I shall make a account and start a editing >_>;





*also still waiting for my forum authentication email *grr*

First things first: There was a period of one or two months when account creation on the forum was broken. Have you tried registering again since then? If you have... umm... post again and we'll try to catch someone with enough rights to help you.

And about editing on the wiki: Everyone is welcome to help, you don't need to ask for permission. So just go at it whenever you like and start training your very own pet translator.
