===Asorted comments===
OMG! I had the urge to shout when i saw your post! Thank you for translating this light novel and looking forward to your future translations! Thanks again, you don't know how happy I am :D ---[[User:Code 06|Code06]]

I edited the prologue, please feel free to undo it if you didn't like what I've done. I've corrected all mistakes aswell. If you'd like me to edit chapter 1 aswell, i would happily do so. And do you mind if I add my name on the editors list? ---- [[User:Code 06|Code 06]] ([[User talk:Code 06|talk]]) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (CDT)

Hello Firebird, thank you so much for translating this series. It's delight me to read the novel version since there's should be more detail than the anime. Once again, much obliged! [[User:Reinm|Reinm]] ([[User talk:Reinm|talk]]) 1 April 2013

I'm just going to assume I can jump in and translate on Mondaiji if I just put my name on the registration page. Since you allowed Drinkingwater to "ninja volume 2 of the series". [[User:Mizuho|Mizuho]] ([[User talk:Mizuho|talk]]) 00:22, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

:Anyway thanks for your translation Firebird and I hope it will continue steadily forward. --[[User:Zuruumi|Zuruumi]] ([[User talk:Zuruumi|talk]]) 13:59, 9 April 2013 (CDT)

Mind if i ninja volume 2 of the series ? :3 --[[User:Drinkingwater|Drinkingwater]] ([[User talk:Drinkingwater|talk]]) 22:42, 10 April 2013
:Seems like you already wrote your name to appropriate place, so go ahead!

:How much experience do you have with the Japanese language? Just curious, since this will be you first translation here as I can see. [[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 09:58, 10 April 2013 (CDT)

Cause I am more fluent in the Chinese language,therefore i translate from Chinese to English.--[[User:Drinkingwater|Drinkingwater]] ([[User talk:Drinkingwater|talk]]) 06:15, 11 April 2013

== Changing You's name to Yuh ==

It's going to be very akward to english readers to read "You" as a name so it should be changed to Yuh for readability.
:I was contemplating this when I started translating, but reached the same conclusion as [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] below. I don't think it causes that much confusion that would warrant breaking the romanization style of the whole text for this one name. Thank you for your suggestion though! [[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 01:02, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

If you were worried about that, it would be "Yoh" rather than "Yuh." Honestly speaking, I think it should remain as is. Also, I'm not sure how confusing it would be. Her name is capitalized like all names should be. "You" as a word is only capitalized if it's at the beginning of a sentence, and the following word should tell who it refers to. The translators are also maintaining titles and honorifics for a lot of it, so it'll be "Kasukabe," "You-san," and "Kasukabe You" for the most part, so I'm not sure how awkward it is reading it. It's much more awkward writing it than anything else. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 23:55, 18 April 2013 (CST)

i know i don't have a right to barge in but have you ever considered "Yuu" as an option. it is pronounced "yoo". --[[User:SirEatALot|SirEatALot]] ([[User talk:SirEatALot|talk]]) 09:45, 20 April 2013 (CST)
:Actually, it's pronounced "Yō." I hate referencing the Anime, but that's where it's easiest to hear. As for what Kuroi said, yes, it is likely most people will pronounce "You" as "Yuu," but I say ignore them! --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User_talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 20:35, 19 April 2013 (CST)

Just a minor thing, most readers are going to be reading as 'you' in pronunciation('yuu'). There's always the ō letter, but that might not be the most preferred either. (Random)Actually, just leave as よう, time to learn kana =D --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 19:59, 19 April 2013 (CDT)

Yuu is better I think.

== Wanted to Help. ==

Hey firebird,

I was reading over Mondaiji and, i noticed there was a lack of editors for this light novel. so I was wondering if i can help out. i love this series from the manga to the anime adaptation. and from what i've read from the little that was translated made me want to help out. I'm a native english speaker so this is well within my abilities. this would be my first project for a light novel, so please guide me along.

-Trigger91, email: Cmssal91@yahoo.com
:Thank you for expressing an interest! Since I'm not really well versed in the job of editors, I think you should turn to [[User:Code 06|Code06]] with this matter. He is the main editor on this project, so if you can help out with something, he can probably tell you. If he approves I have no objection to you becoming an official editor. [[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 15:18, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

Trigger91: thanks for the information i'll go and talk to him now. i do hope we can work together for this project......(sometime later) there, my names under the editor bracket. i look forward to working with you, and i hope that we get this project done so others can enjoy this story.

:Welcome aboard! --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 13:10, 19 April 2013 (CDT)

==Can I haz translation for Volume 3?==
Hi Firebird, can I translate volume 3 of Mondaiji ? I' a huge fan of the series and is able to translate it from Chinese.
Please ? With sugar on top ? (I'll only do the proper procedures once the project admin approves.)

[[User:Primus de Pedos|Primus de Pedos]] ([[User talk:Primus de Pedos|talk]]) 10:54, 27 April 2013 (CDT)

:Thank you for your application! I see no problem with you starting Vol.3, it's refreshing to see someone who actually waits for the reply :)
:Welcome aboard! --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 11:42, 27 April 2013 (CDT)

.*Stabs* </3 Ouch. I felt that one.[[User:Drinkingwater|Drinkingwater]] ([[User talk:Drinkingwater|talk]]) 22:37, 27 April 2013 (CDT)

:Don't worry about it :) You did ask and that's what really matters. --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 11:06, 28 April 2013 (CDT)

-Cool, I've just finished the prologue and I'll try my best.
[[User:Primus de Pedos|Primus de Pedos]] ([[User talk:Primus de Pedos|talk]]) 10:58, 28 April 2013 (CDT)

:Then I will put you on the translator list and the registration page. If you do another chapter please put your name beside it on the [[Mondaiji-tachi_ga_isekai_kara_kuru_soudesu_yo:Registration_Page|registration page]]. --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 11:06, 28 April 2013 (CDT)

==I Want to help translating==
Hi there, Firebird. Can I help translate this novel? I love the series, and kind of sad the anime ended just like that. Currently, I'm a Japanese Language and Literature college student. With translating it, I hope I can make people who like this series happy and help my translating skill. Can I do it? [[User:Xiaolang|Xiaolang]] ([[User talk:Xiaolang|talk]]) 13:44, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks for applying! I see no reason to refuse your help, welcome aboard! If it's alright with you I would like you to start on the 3rd Volume if possible. [[User:Primus_de_Pedos|Primus de Pedos]] has done the prologue, but he did not register for another so I don't know if he will continue it soon. You should ask him if he's working on the next chapter just to be safe. In the meantime you could start with the one after that if he doesn't answer quickly like I didn't (Sorry for that!). Of course only if you don't have any problem starting with the 3rd Volume. Be sure to register the chapter you decide to tranlate on the [[Mondaiji-tachi_ga_isekai_kara_kuru_soudesu_yo:Registration_Page|registration page]] so we know what you are working on. --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 18:10, 30 April 2013 (CDT)

I forgot to mention, actually I want to translating it to Indonesian, not English. I will try that when I'm finish with the Indonesian one, but I'm not sure. Oh, by the way, this is my first time here, so I don't know how this site works. Can I ask you if I have a question? [[User:Xiaolang|Xiaolang]] ([[User talk:Xiaolang|talk]])04:48,1 May 2013 (UTC)

:I see. In that case you should take a look at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=4 Format Guidelines] at the forum for starters. With a little bit of search most of you question will be answered probably. If not, then you can ask me and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities. --[[User:Firebird|Firebird]] ([[User talk:Firebird#top|talk]]) 03:55, 2 May 2013 (CDT)
