Re: Campione! - Names and Terminology
For Chinese name, you can go for both. SOme of my friends have the first name attached, without a space. Mine has a space between the two characters.

Re: Campione! - Names and Terminology
Well, I don't translate names in katakana 1:1 to English just because it's originally in Japanese now, do I? アリス (ARiSu) is Alice, not Arisu. Same logic for Chinese, just that we don't have katakana as a base but kanji. About the other descriptions in the spoiler... I don't know. I haven't read that far so I don't know if/how they'll show up. All I can say right now is that I'll add all I can find and try to find proper solutions. If you've taken a look at the list on the wiki, you know how thorough (although not all terms have translations yet, but that's a matter of time)... which makes me wonder: does it really help Chinese translators? Because right now I've even added terms that are trivial for Japanese translators, such as Tokyo's districts, but if those are easy/trivial in Chinese as well, I'll stop because then they'd be a waste of space. Precious space. So, what do you really need?lchigo93 wrote:ok, I just thought that you guys might use the Japanese name when referring to the heretic gods since it's written by a Japanese author. Well either one's fine with me.
Cui Lian is better. It's always better to separate the name.
Spoiler! :
Also, I put up the honorific-guidelines that I like best personally.
Basic honorifics (san, chan, kun, senpai, sensei, sama) in conjunction with names are romanized as they are.
Special ones (-jou, -kyou) are translated (Miss and Sir, in this case).
Titles are dealt with on a case to case basis (Marquis Voban, etc).
"not-name + honorific" is dealt with on case to case basis (Ena's Ou-sama).
One case would be O + nee/nii + san/chan/sama and the honoric versions (-neesan/niisan etc.). I suggest they are romanized as they are. They are common enough and it's a pain to rewrite the dialogues around them while maintaining naturality. The mom/dad versions are a different case, though, since there are enough natural ways in English to deal with them. Although no parents EVER show up, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
Another case would be Ena's Jii-chama. Grandfather + combination of -sama (respect) and -chan (cute/familiar), which I haven't thought about yet. Since the respect-part is subverted hard, one can decide to ignore it and "Grampsy" comes to mind. It certainly is annoying as Jii-chama...
As far as general romanization goes: I prefer the way you'd type the words on the computer. So I like ou better than the o with the bar over it or shortening it to a simple o.
Any complaints? Okay, that sounds wrong. Umm... any suggestions?

Fuyuki, probably.
Do you mind if I hold back on adding the other names until I know all their spellings (especially the original ones) and affiliations?

Don't worry. They come and pass, just like many of the other girls.

Re: Campione! - Names and Terminology
Really??? I think I might have missed it or overlooked it, or maybe I just forgot about it because I went pretty fast. And she makes an appearance in one of the side stories and then again in the latter volumes. So I think she'll be one of those girls who will be staying for quite some time.Kadi wrote:徳永・明日香 Tokunaga Asuka? Already in the list
