*handwave* This is not the English you're looking for. Move along.

Agreed.

Even if it was "fully translated" I kinda wish it was tagged as for it's language(s) it was translated to.

Singlish. Go look it up, there should be a Singlish dictionary.

I would loosely translate that line as "Oi, what's this?". Not very sure because it's more of a spoken "language".

A language only singaporeans/malaysians can read. Very sad for the others sia.

I don't speak a word of singlish, but this was hilarious. Loved the prologue

Who's the translator who used Singlish? This is not allowed, someone please ask him to fix it to proper English.

Me, actually. I don't see what's the fuss, BT welcomes and encourages all languages. Why is Singlish off the table?

I don't think it's a major problem, as the prologue is already available in English and can be gotten to easily regardless.

It is hilarious though.

What do you mean?
are you saying singlish version is an alternative language page?

It's taken care of, please don't get your jimmies rustled everyone. The Nano link is set as the primary TL source with the Singlish separated for the prologue on BT (and eventually for the next chapter as well), check the ND site for future updates since it'll likely be there first.

Lastly, long live Singlish.

Edit: I kept the Singlish link on the main page still, but it has been clearly labeled. There are also no plans to continue Singlish translations from Hayashi's end (well it doesn't warrant an alt language thing anyways assuming that's the end of it)

Hayashi, i appreciate your efforts and also like it, but I'll explain to you the fuss when i get back next week. Let's put it as alternative language singlish, shalln't we?

TjP thanks.

Much appreciated.
This clears up a lot of the confusion.

it looks like the 10% of chapter 1 is also in singlish so that will probably need to be noted as well.

Well it was done before the issue with the prologue was brought up. It'll probably get taken care of with the other.

The english translations will be uploaded on BT once hayashi finishes the whole volume (I believe that's how they are doing it), so there will be quite a wait. The Singlish links will be dealt with once the english tls are ready.
