190.44.228.27: /* Tokyo Ravens */

==Tokyo Ravens==
Really excited to see what your new project will be. You got a selection in mind already? [[User:Cautr|-cautr]] ([[User talk:Cautr|talk]]) 16:26, 20 December 2013 (CST)

:Yeah, I found one... Just gotta figure out what I have to do to get it started. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 22:36, 20 December 2013 (CST)

Hello. Just wanted to ask if you needed a TLC for Tokyo Ravens, since you're using Chinese-English translations.

Might plan to translate some chapters as well.
[[User:Xersax|Xersax]] ([[User talk:Xersax|talk]]) 04:04, 21 January 2014 (CST)

:TLCs are always welcome if you're willing to put in the effort. Even more so for chapter translations, just make sure to notify me beforehand :) [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 09:16, 21 January 2014 (CST)

:I'm more than happy and willing to help out with TLC, since its easier than translating a whole chapter. I might churn out a chapter next week to see if my style is okay with you.
:Mind if I call you boss? XD [[User:Xersax|Xersax]] ([[User talk:Xersax|talk]]) 09:35, 21 January 2014 (CST)

Too fast, too furious "[[User:Laxarus|Laxarus]] ([[User talk:Laxarus|talk]]) 04:45, 26 January 2014 (CST)"

Will you also be translating the side stories in vol.4? or will you be skipping to the next volume? '''[[User:Npeace|Npeace]] ([[User talk:Npeace|talk]])''' 05:01, 3 February 2014
: I'll go through the Volume 4 side stories unless they bore me. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 00:21, 3 February 2014 (CST)

Check the Tokyo Ravens JP raw contents table before changing chapter titles. It is unnecessary to change what was written in "engrish" aka katakana. Example: Volume 5 Story 4 - Cold Memory In Dark (コールド・メモリー・イン・ダーク). :) [[User:Angelanime|Angelanime]] ([[User talk:Angelanime|talk]]) 17:14, 12 March 2014 (CDT)

:Good catch. I don't actually have access to JP raws, and my Chinese translations had translated the title into Chinese. Might want to check the other titles of this volume as well. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 19:40, 12 March 2014 (CDT)

::I've used the table of contents in the novel illustrations to translate the chapter titles. :) [[User:Angelanime|Angelanime]] ([[User talk:Angelanime|talk]]) 03:45, 13 March 2014 (CDT)

Hey there, just wanted to ask what's your translating process like. Since I'm new to translating and am looking for tips to speed up my own process. [[User:Xersax|Xersax]] ([[User talk:Xersax|talk]]) 11:14, 14 March 2014 (CDT)

:I generally open up the Chinese text, my text editor, and Google Translate all at once. Basically I just read through the Chinese text while typing the English translation into my editor, going to Google Translate for certain phrases if necessary. When I encounter a tough phrase or proper nouns, I generally open up new tabs to Google things. When I'm finished with a chapter, I use Microsoft Word to spellcheck it. Not so sure if I answered your question to your satisfaction, so feel free to ask something more specific. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 13:01, 14 March 2014 (CDT)

::Mmm okay, I do about the same process. Guess I need to translate more to get used to it. Totally different kind of mindset from editing. [[User:Xersax|Xersax]] ([[User talk:Xersax|talk]]) 10:57, 31 March 2014 (CDT)

:::I recommend reading over each line after you translate it to check its English 'flow', especially if English is your first language. If it doesn't sound right, shuffle around sentence structures or such. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 11:55, 31 March 2014 (CDT)

I want to ask if you could translate volume 10 first after you finish volume 5. I'm interested in what happens in the story after the events covered in the anime. Since anime ended with covering only up to the end of volume 9. [[User:Angelanime|Angelanime]] ([[User talk:Angelanime|talk]]) 17:44, 25 March 2014 (CDT)

:Sorry, but I don't really want to do that; I'd prefer to go through them sequentially. My apologies. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 09:19, 26 March 2014 (CDT)

Hey Lygophile, I'm an editor that's relatively new to Baka-Tsuki. I was wondering if there was room for one more editor in the ''Tokyo Ravens'' LN series because it seemed like you had quite a few translators but not many editors. I've already worked as an editor before, but not on Baka-Tsuki, so anything that I could do to help would be great for getting used to Baka-Tsuki. Is there an IRC channel or some other way of communicating with you guys? The talk page seems kinda chatboard-y. [[User:PointTaken|PointTaken]] ([[User talk:PointTaken|talk]]) 11:36, 21 June 2014 (CDT)

:I've responded on your talk page. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 18:39, 21 June 2014 (CDT)

Wow, you're fast man, thanks for your amazing work.

==Chrome Shelled Regios==
Hi! You're now also a translator? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 21:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

:Well, that would be new to me :P... why do you say that? --[[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] 02:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

::Oh, thought you were translating cause you were suddenly uploading chapters, not [[User:Blewin|Blewin]]. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 03:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I used to send the edited file back to Blewin, who would then upload it. Instead, I'm just uploading it directly to save time. --[[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] 17:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Though I probably don't see them since I read the pages right when they come out, thanks for helping with Chrome Shelled Regios. I truly enjoy the read!

Thank you so much for continuing this, I've been wanting to know what would happen for a long time. Right when it was getting really, really good, the translations stopped - so thank you.--[[User:Darn2k|Darn2k]] 02:16, 9 May 2011 (UCT)

um if your not editing wont you please post the whole part already please --[[User:Anon|Anon]] 02:16, 30 Oct 2012 (UCT)

thx for the translation :) and one question. do you plan on translating the remaining chapters of v11? there hasnt' been any notice from him in almost a year or someone knows something?

:Well, I don't know where Haze went. As for going back and finishing up v11, maybe I'll do it after finishing v17. But that does mean that I would be using time that could be used to translate the main storyline. --[[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 26 August 2013 (UTC)

::Well, after posting on the forums, it seems like either Haze will translate it, or Xstar will if he's MIA. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 21:54, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

Thanks for all the posts so far as such I would like to ask if there is any news about translating vol. 23 & 25 any time in the near future. '''[[User:Npeace|Npeace]] ([[User talk:Npeace|talk]])''' 05:07, 3 February 2014
:At the least, not until they are translated into Chinese. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 00:21, 3 February 2014 (CST)

guess i should post this in the discution of the novel but i guess this one has become that, anyway i wanted to ask if the volume 23 is a colletion of side-stories or a main story volume. sorry for the grammar thats probably burnig your eyes, my english is not that good yet [[User:Renextronex|Renextronex]] ([[User talk:Renextronex|talk]])

:Side stories. [[User:Lygophile|Lygophile]] ([[User talk:Lygophile#top|talk]]) 21:58, 21 March 2014 (CDT)

Dude you're so awesome, first you translate CSR and now Tokyo raven.
Thank you I'm really enjoining the novels especially Tokyo ravens.
So once again THANK YOU

Thank you for taking up Tokyo Raven you have my gratitude.

== Many thanks for the translation! ==

It's wonderful to see that someone is translating a series that I love a lot! I just want to throw this in here; don't stress yourself out. If you need a break, take a break. The amount of work you've put into translation is already outstanding!

You sir are a god among men. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hi Cloud, this is Rozenbach. Translator for DAL. I'm currently working on a new project, but I kinda got banned probably because my username on the forum got caught by your bot catchers by accident.

== category revamp, etc. ==

Hi,

I'm Darkoneko, one of the "usually inactive" custodians of this wiki. I'm kinda allergic to forums and generally prefer to laze in a corner of our IRC channel, so you might not have heard of me before. Either way, sorry for the late introduction.

I've started with a few people a great revamping of the category system. It was pointed to me that you had similar projects in mind, so I'm there to enlist your help :)

One of my goals is to easily allow readers to search novels by name, publisher, language, genre, and status (finished/active/stalled...). For that purpose, a list of categories will be listed in the sidebar instead of the current enormous and unreadable list.

Here's what has been done / on track :
[[:Category:Root]] : the Root of all <s>evil</s> categories.
*[[:category:Author]] : each author has his/her own category, which contain the main page of each of their novels (so far it's always the english version)
*[[:category:Light novel]] : each language has its own subcategory to allow easy search by language.
*[[:category:Original novel]] : for the few we host. They're all in english so no need for subcats.

*[[:Category:Project status]] : maintenance category. Most subcats already existed.

We are in dire need of title standardisation, so your proposal on [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8839 there] interests me. Tho, the problem is what to use as the initial title. In your exemple, everything takes for base the english title (A simple survey) rather than the japanese one, which strikes me as weird. But translators might not like any change on that :)

More to come a bit later

:Good morning !
:Don't forget to sign your messages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, else i have to check the page history to know who wrote the message ;)
:I need a way to properly separate teasers from full projects. Right now since only the sidebar novels were given the category light novel, it's their separation. We'll probably need a dedicated category later.
:For the sidebar languages, good idea. It's either that or linking by default to the english category. to be decided
:I've seen you started categorising the visual novel. It's the right idea, however, could you rename it to [[:Category:Visual_novel]] for consistency with the [[:Category:Light_novel|other]] [[:Category:Original_novel|categories]] ?

Okay but what happens to the old updates--[[User:RikiNutcase|RikiNutcase]] ([[User talk:RikiNutcase|talk]]) 21:29, 10 February 2014 (CST)

== RE: Language Editing Guidelines ==

The short answer is yes, I'm planning to finish it...but I'm best at working in bursts of inspiration, and usually stick to them--a terrible work ethic, I know--so unfortunately, I'm not very confident that it actually will be done. I'll try to bump it up on my priority list though. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

As for SimpleNav, it's been designed with the wiki's naming convention in mind, so its automated system should work as long as that convention holds (i.e. LIGHT NOVEL:VolumeX ChapterY and LIGHT NOVEL:VolumeZ, or LIGHT NOVEL:Volume X Chapter Y and LIGHT NOVEL:Volume Z). Presuming that at the very least, the ending chapter is noted in the template. Even on pages with irregular naming though, the manual override system is there, which basically turns it into a simple template for making the standard table that has a lot of irrelevant bytes. Have you read the usage notes I placed on the template page? -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 23:46, 6 April 2014 (CDT)

== RE: Cloudii's sandbox ==

Was looking through your sandbox of proposals and I think the "Sandbox/testo" page layout looks amazing for the default project listing page. There's some clean up left but I like that idea better than the one you have for your actual "Sandbox/ProposedProjectPage" example. The proposed project page seems too have a bit too much info considering the large number of projects, but your proposed one would be great as a "detailed listing of projects" that could be clickable from a "Sandbox/testo"-styled page. That would probably reduce computation cost for the server as well, since people could land on the lower(?) cost "Sandbox/testo"-styled page but would still have the option of the more detailed one if they wanted that info. In any case, both of these are great work and hopefully one (or both) of them will get made into the actual project listing page. Congrats on your main page idea getting selected, btw! --[[User:Rydenius|Rydenius]] ([[User talk:Rydenius|talk]]) 02:07, 7 April 2014 (CDT)

=== '''Questions and Answers''' ===

'''1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?'''

I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)

'''2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?'''

Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.

'''3. So when's your next chapter coming out?'''

If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a ''rough'' estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.

'''4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?'''

Until otherwise stated, yes.

'''5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?'''

Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.

'''6. I want to join the project, where do I sign up?'''

I don't have the power to actually grant that since I am not the project leader for MKnR, larenthian is. If you are interested in joining the project, drop by the Feedback Thread to let larenthian and Seitsuki know. Following that, inscribe your name onto the [[Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei:Registration_Page|Registration]] page next to which chapter you would like to work on. I will '''not''' provide RAWs, so do not ask.

'''7. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!'''

Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.

=== '''Comments'''===
Hey Dreyakis! Thanks again for the awesome work. I know you do these translations for fun, but I wanted to ask: would it be okay to send you and some of the other translators/editors on this project a few gift cards or something? Without the Mahouka translators and editors many of us would simply be unable to enjoy a lot of these foreign works. You guys have worked really hard on these translations and I'd love to chance to thank you guys for the awesome job on Mahouka. [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]])

:While I do appreciate the sentiment, we translators are ultimately just that: translators. We do not own the rights to the material and thus should not and cannot receive any profit or benefit from the translations. I am very happy to be able to work on Mahouka and bring it over to an audience that previously was unable to read this, but I will have to turn you down. In fact, the best thing you can do to thank us is to head on over to the Appreciation Thread in the Mahouka forums and tell us.

then how much will this volune cover if they are all short or are their freakishly long chapters mixed in?---< has not read past 3

How do you measure your progress (as in (82/96))? As it is obviously not percent, is it lines (I doubt that), paragraphs, pages or something different?

Would you be willing to pick up other projects in addition to mahouka? Since i've been wanting to read a couple of novels for a while, only to find translations either not going on or going painstakingly slow. If you'd be willing to translate hataraku maou-sama or mondaiji, that would be amazing. -Anon

Thank you for this new chapter [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis-sama]] keep it up [[User:James Gobilzkame|V33]] 02:51, 8 December 2013 (CST)

Thank you for spending your Christmas to translate the chapter. Reader of your work since fall 2012.

Really caught me off guard, thanks for the chapters.

Can't thank you enough for bringing Mahouka series into my life.

Christmas is earlier this year \o/ Thanks for another dose of Mahouka. Too bad these chapters are so short. Seems like this volume might be quite interesting with some intrigues behind the scenes. Thanks again and take care. [[User:Antanaru|Antanaru]] ([[User talk:Antanaru|talk]]) 06:07, 8 December 2013 (CST)

I don't really know. The thing is Thank You for making me and a lot of people happy.

Damn Drey, I know these are relatively short chapters but you have been translating religiously these past couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your hard work!! :D [[Special:Contributions/207.254.244.56|207.254.244.56]] 14:16, 13 December 2013 (CST)

holy sheet ... I think it is around one and a half since you've taken mahouka translation project. I'm scared to even think about number of pages you translated and how much man-hours it took ... and yet you are here again with new chapter for us to enjoy. Thanks a bunch for all the hard work you have done so far, merry xmas & happy new year >.>

=== '''Questions and Answers''' ===

'''1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?'''

I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)

'''2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?'''

Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.

'''3. So when's your next chapter coming out?'''

If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a ''rough'' estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.

'''4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?'''

Until otherwise stated, yes.

'''5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?'''

Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.

'''6. I want to join the project, where do I sign up?'''

I don't have the power to actually grant that since I am not the project leader for MKnR, larenthian is. If you are interested in joining the project, drop by the Feedback Thread to let larenthian and Seitsuki know. Following that, inscribe your name onto the [[Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei:Registration_Page|Registration]] page next to which chapter you would like to work on. I will '''not''' provide RAWs, so do not ask.

'''7. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!'''

Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.

=== '''Comments'''===
Hey Dreyakis! Thanks again for the awesome work. I know you do these translations for fun, but I wanted to ask: would it be okay to send you and some of the other translators/editors on this project a few gift cards or something? Without the Mahouka translators and editors many of us would simply be unable to enjoy a lot of these foreign works. You guys have worked really hard on these translations and I'd love to chance to thank you guys for the awesome job on Mahouka. [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]])

:While I do appreciate the sentiment, we translators are ultimately just that: translators. We do not own the rights to the material and thus should not and cannot receive any profit or benefit from the translations. I am very happy to be able to work on Mahouka and bring it over to an audience that previously was unable to read this, but I will have to turn you down. In fact, the best thing you can do to thank us is to head on over to the Appreciation Thread in the Mahouka forums and tell us. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 19:38, 7 December 2013 (CST)

::I figured as much, and I totally understand. I would have definitely bought Mahouka myself if it was available in English. That being said, thanks again! --[[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]]) 23:38, 7 December 2013 (CST)

:::It is always my pleasure to serve. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 01:18, 8 December 2013 (CST)

do you know why these chapters seem shorter than the others?

:Format changes between volume to volume. For example, Volume 8 also had a high count of shorter chapters. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 23:30, 8 December 2013 (CST)

=== '''Expressing Gratitude'''===

Thanks a bunch for the translation of the new chapter. Well then, I'm off to read it.

Thanks for the newest chapter. Haha, I noticed the 212 was bold, that's a lot of pages.. good luck :D. Anyone kind of feel like Tatsuya was being overly cold towards Miyuki toward the end of the most recent chapter? I kind of wanted to slap him... --[[User:Ruckkus|Ruckkus]] ([[User talk:Ruckkus|talk]]) 13:12, 6 November 2013 (CST)

Thanks for all the hard work you have been putting in the last few months. Being able to count on a release every few weeks or so is a privilege and a blessing. You, my good sir, are an example of diligence and generosity. Thanks for taking all the time out of your RL to keep us few devoted fans happy. [[User:TheAEmix|TheAEmix]] ([[User talk:TheAEmix|talk]]) 05:15, 13 November 2013 (CST)

Good luck with helping translate Mahouka!! Thank you SOOO much!

If you upload just the text in other language then chrome can translate it so if you have the text then upload it please

I am unsure whether I understand the last sentence but if you mean that I should upload the book unto my computer and use a program to do the bulk of the translation, aside from the fact that I believe uploading copyrighted material is illegal, I do not have the technological capacity to do that, so I'm afraid that my process will remain read phrase, doublecheck words I'm unsure of, translate into english and then type my rough translation(and it is rough, the complexity of the task really eats away at my punctuation skills and for speed's sake I often can't spend the time to get a sentence just right, so if you want to help please edit). The process is slow but, with practice I will get faster. -Sashiko

Don't worry too much about punctuation. We can cover that for you based on the context of the text, as long as we can tell where the sentences start and end. I try to avoid changing the actual words as much as possible. You should also ignore the person telling you to have the browser translate it -- pretty sure BT staff does not like that just off the legal issues alone.

Good job with chapter 3 of Presidential election and the queen. I didn't expect that development, but I like where it's heading. And I agree with the way you do it, not using computer-aided translation. It certainly is a bit slower, but results are something nobody using software assist - even those professional programs out there - can match. And should you ever wish to deploy your skills to translating stuff like serious dissertations for some publisher, computer aids can only get you in trouble. --[[User:Wa-totem|Wa-totem]]

Hi, Thank you for your Translations. I was curious as to who is translation Chapters 15 and 16 of Volume 8. The Registration page doesn't show anyone as having registered for those 2 chapters and you have 17,18 ready and waiting for us (which i am desperately eager to read). Thanks again for all your hard work.

I am working on Chapter 15 however, when Seitsuki has the time to translate he can easily translate faster than I can so I believe that we are both not registering for the chapters in case the other translator finishes first, Once Dreyakis starts on the next volume I will do a partial if neither of us has finished chapter 15 since it is a prologue to the next volume. [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 15:13, 28 March 2013 (CDT)

Sashiko just a quick question is the untouchable 2062 a separate Sstory of the past?

Untouchable- takes place over a decade before the high school student characters during the World war three era mentioned in Miyuki's history book. As a prequel, it provides background material for some aspects of the Yokohama Arc and explains this comment- "You dared to touch that which cannot be touched. You dared to sully my scales. For that alone you all deserve to perish!" .(for those who don't know, the scales part refers to the fact that 'Tatsu' and 'Ryuu' can be spelled as dragon.) There is also another tidbit that will play into the Visitor Arc [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 19:42, 21 April 2013 (CDT)

泉州-Quanzhou, a prefecture-level city in southern Fujian province

大漢-Dahan, possibly in Taiwan since the results include Dahan Creek and Dahan Institute of Technology, both in Taiwan

対馬-Tsushima, probably the island or the base (I don't remember if the base was already built up by the time of Untouchable)--Vampirecat--
