Hi! Sqwark here. I've been translating GH from Chinese to English for the past 6 months or so but didn't bother with registering on the forum.

Anyway, I'm done with volume 5. I can't do the author's notes because it wasn't translated into chinese. The chinese raw for volume 6 also includes only the prologue and one or two parts of the first chapter. Hence, I will skip volume 6 for the moment.

Hello and nice to meet you and thank you for translate GH. I just wondering that are you still translate GH or not? or rather to say is this project still continue translate or not? I really want to know what's happening with story. I like anime and manga so when I found out that origin came from novel I was happy and glad that there's some group willingly to translate. I won't ask when next one coming but all I ask weather baka-tsuki group still translate or not. If not I won't read or else it'll make me want more thank you again :bow:

As of April 2010 it still have had a translator, so one can still hope that the translation is in progress (at least for vol.7) I dont know anything against that assumption.
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

I just got a draft translate script of Volume 6 prologue.


Been looking though it, and editing it a bit, as it has alot of Translator in-notes.


I cannot comment how good the translation is, but the English certainly needs some cleaning up.

At the moment I don't know who it's from, only Holycow (one of my special agents!) knows who it is.
But it looks promisingly and I just need a second opinion from squark, who should be getting a copy of it soon.

But if it's okay by Sqwark and i find out who to credit thi, then I have no problem publishing this script.

So, please stay tuned, we might have an additional translator for this project.

:]

Hi,
Just announcing the completion of Volume 7. The script needs someone to check the name translations, though.

So if you can get the raws you would also translate still untranslated parts in Russian? (and than back into English too? :mrgreen: ) (Sorry, but I dont know of any raws, but you could try to pm HolyCow for those for translation reasons ;) since he has stated in this thread, that he have some...)

Btw. What did happen with the translated script of the prologue of Vol. 6?
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

2 Vaelis: Oh, thanks a lot I didn't expect it will be that fast :D And one more question: are there any illustrations in the novels? If there are I'd be glad to have them ^__^
2 Darklor: Yes we'll TRY to translate from Japaneese but it'll take lots of time :) Now we are working on the first book so... You can ask me in a year maybe...

I have a question: On the project page the first eight novels are listed, but not the last two. Does this mean that no one is going to try to translate these two?

Which chapters?

For me was it always the easiest way by creating redlinks at the main page to the translated chapters and add the translation at the page where the link goes too.
