Heh...I'll go see on xs.178 for it. Is it only on wenku that it is hosted?
Not sure bout other sites. But i'm currently reading it on wenku. Since it's completed there, sfacg has some missing parts in one of the chapters, not sure bout other chapters though.

One thing that is quite awesome in wench is that the illustrations are complete and not missing, in a separate section. Problem when I'm reading on sfacg is that sometime it's in a place, other times is somewhere else. Too confusing.

no wonder it got done so fast, since volume 5 took a long time to get translated. and i just finished it today too, along with sora no otoshimono movie, i nearly cried of all these bittersweet endings.

yeah, it's pretty funny, that i agree with. I was also surprised, by that wish, i wonder if he really wished for it. And there was no translation errors in the name Ren Asberg or something, Ren Ashdoll is someone else, he's

Hell, there's a total of 4 translators who worked at least a bit on the translation. Me, Black Dust, Nikuniku and KuroiHikari. That's a lot for a teaser project.

BTW, Ichigo, how do you call the 巫女 and 精灵使 in English?

Here are the names that I found from an official source( an promotion video of the book series). Hopefully, this will keep the names uniform through all translators.

Claire Rouge  
Kazehaya Kamito
Est
Ellis Fahrengart
Rinslet Laurenfrost
Fianna Ray Ordesia

I have translated the 风王骑士团 as Sylpheed brigade. It should be "semi" official. It seems that Sylpheed has two spellings, I choose the pretty one. Correct me if I am wrong here.

We also need a uniform incarnation for

"いまこそ血の契約に従い、 我がもとに参じ給え"

Kira08o2 has it as "In accordance with our blood contract, under my name I grant thee to hasten and join! "

I made it into

"Now is the time to abide the contract of blood,
hasten to my side as commanded!"

Of course more suggestions are welcome. Anyway, we need to come to a promise that works the best.

For 姫巫女(himemiko)  and 精霊使い(seirei tsukai), my suggestion is unless we find something superb, we'll lust leave them untranslated.

@nikuniku To be exact, the Est's full name is Terminus Est or something like that. Also, Ichigo (see in the teasers page section) already used the terms "Ren Arsberg" and "Ren Ashdoll". I think it should work too.

BTW, nikuniku, why add an "o" in the place of the "0" in my usename? :mrgreen:

As for the incantations, I can't get to a great way to translate it. Anyone wants to contact the Negima manga translator? :lol:
