== Mushoku Tensei ==

Dear John,

Apologies for the slow reply, my talk page is a mess and it can be difficult to find out what's going on sometimes.

Anyway, if you are still interested to help edit for Mushoku Tensei, you are more than welcomed.

Best Regards,

Onizuka-GTO 01:37, 26 July 2014 (CDT)

Onizuka,

Thanks I appreciate the reply, I understand it can get hard to see in the sea of the talk page. Is there anyway to categorize the talk page? For instance- General Comments, Series Registration, etc. I just was thinking of some suggestions off the top of my head to help not just you- but also make it abundantly clear to the registrars where to ask. Although I graduated in Industrial Engineering which optimizes processes, I am also new to wiki editting so my suggestions come with a grain of salt. :)

Also, I am still interested in helping edit for Mushoku Tensei.

Best,
John

Hey, though I don't know how much longer I'll be doing Mushoku Tensei, just for future reference in case I do happen to translate more chapters, things like

Chr○tians =/= Chrostians

It's a circle that Japanese use the way we use #$% or **. If you feel that it's too easy to mistake as an 'o' (I personally don't feel this is the case at all), feel free to replace it with a bigger circle i.e. 〇

If you were already aware, but felt like uncensoring it, I'd like to remind you that as the translator, I'm the one who decides how best to convey the original author's meaning in English, and as an editor you should consult me first.

Cheers. Also, although I don't think you're wrong (I haven't changed them back), why do you put spaces between the dots for ellipses? I'd like to know for future reference.

EDIT: Are you planning on going through every volume and changing it like this? Speaking frankly I feel that the spaced ellipsis looks kind of stupid, probably because noone else uses it (even if that's proper and how you were taught), so if you dislike the simple '...' could you replace it with a precomposed one instead, like '…' or '...'?

FURTHER EDIT: Like legit, it's like the stupidest looking thing I've ever seen. I'm actually naturally getting more aggressive in my speech towards you because it just looks so incredibly stupid looking. Also it might be different to you, but I've been taught that ellipses are supposed to be stuck to the end of the final letter, like so..., and not like this ...

Additionally, please watch out for the formatting on wiki pages. What happens when you start a line with a space is this: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Mushoku_Tensei:Volume_08_Chapter_4#Part_3

Cheers :P

ANOTHER EDIT: Nup, sorry. I broke. I can't stand it. I can't leave it. Since you apparently hate the '...' that everyone else uses, I've replaced it with a precomposed ellipsis that computer dudes have agreed on. Sorry. I know I'm being pushy, but sorry. Nup. Can't stand it. Can't stand it. Can't stand it.

FINAL EDIT: Please take more care when editing, and re-read the sentence a few times to see if you actually understand the meaning. The time that I spend going over your edits and seeing what's correct and what isn't is deducted out of the remaining time I have to translate. For example, I probably won't get my final chapter done tonight because of this. I've clearly left on my profile page rough copies of the translation that are lined up against the raws. If you find a sentence to be odd, and don't understand the meaning, by all means have a look at the raws first and see if you can reword it so that it's more clear.

[[User:Vanant|Vanant]] ([[User talk:Vanant|talk]]) 02:31, 27 July 2014 (CDT)

I'm truly sorry, I didn't see this before I started those edits. In the future, I will just leave those elipsis, as is. Did not mean to cause so much trouble over them! I am getting to used to the back and forth with the translator using the wiki format, so please forgive me this time about that. I am just seeing this all at once!

I am actually not even sure if you can see this.. can you? I am not sure the best way to communicate with you, so in the future, we can avoid conflicts more. I appreciate it.

Hey John, when you press 'undo', all it does is retrieving the older version. So if it's undoing the latest revision, just press 'undo 'and 'redo' the correct changes. If it's an old revision, use the diff/revision compare to do minor undo/redo. It's pretty manual. Thanks for your edits.

Btw if you want to talk to other users (like Vanant) write in their talk pages because then they will receive a yellow bar saying there's a new message from the user. If you put it on your own talk page it won't show up in their screen. And make sure to consult with the translators when doing major edits, all the advices Vanant give above is pretty much our conventions. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 17:23, 27 July 2014 (CDT)

The 2nd user's edit will be cancelled. The edits will be shown below. A message will say 'a user has edited this page since you last...'

You'll have to redo your edit. There are 2 ways. If you edited more, copy your version and reapply the other user's edit by checking the recent change under history. If the other person edited more, load the latest revision and reapply your edit. Luckily I've never encountered the case where both user edited a lot already. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 19:15, 27 July 2014 (CDT)

Hmmph! As long as you understa- hahaha nah, just kidding. Sorry for saying it the way I did; it was way out of line. Just pretty stressed because I'm going back to uni today (and I hate uni) and was trying to get a few chapters done before it started again. Honestly it didn't take that long to revise, and I was just venting unfairly on you because the other hindrances yesterday couldn't be helped. Sorry again, and thanks for being so understanding.

I saw your response on Dark Kaito's page and wanted to say that I wasn't criticizing your edits. I really didn't catch anything wrong with the grammar edits, but I did want to have someone clarify any changes to a character's dialogue or thoughts because the wording for them is usually intentional even if there are better ways to put it. Sorry if I insulted you in any way. --[[Special:Contributions/24.196.214.144|24.196.214.144]] 21:42, 16 August 2014 (CDT)

In response to your last question, I don't know for sure, but spoilers that I've seen don't seem to suggest that he ever does get it back. He does get something to replace it with though. Thanks for the message though. I was worried that I had irritated you lol.--[[Special:Contributions/24.196.214.144|24.196.214.144]] 23:27, 16 August 2014 (CDT)

== Mushoku Tensai edits ==
Just wanted to confirm if i can makes these changes as it alter the meaning slighty v4 c3

I can see two or three blurs. /if I can/

It means that the future is always undergoing changes.

Three seconds, four seconds, I can see that far into the future, but when you get to five seconds there are several tens of future possibilities blurring together. /I can see three to four seconds into the future but when I get to ../

No one will have to endure anything, it's the number one smart method, isn't it? /efficient method instead of smart/

If Rujierudo has that sort of intention then we'll stop with smart. / stop with that? O stop and won't sell the the wand?/

-- [[User:Pumkingboyz|Pumkingboyz]]

I think most of those lines are better left in their original form matching the translation. In regards to the smart thing, the word smart was used in English that's why I used that word specifically.

In regards to the future stuff, there's no if about it he can clearly see several blurring futures when he uses it too far. In the second part the the line starts with him saying, "Three, Four, I can go that far but after I get to Five there are tens of possibilities", etc... imagine it kind of like having 10s of transparent windows on a computer all lined up partially overlapping that's how he sees the future, and the further he looks the more screens it adds on, there's no limit to how far past five seconds, it just become too many screens to differentiate them and puts more burden on his brain.

Then he started to tell us about how much of a failure, how inappropriate she was as a younger sister and such, Girenu was in a voice filled with indifferent emotion. -- is it suppose to be Gyuesu instead of Girenu, as he is the one that is talking about her. V4 c8. [[User:Pumkingboyz|Pumkingboyz]]

Yes, Gyuesu is basically remembering back to how unpleasant his little sister Girenu was, I had trouble with the wording for that one, but he felt that Girenu wasn't worthy of being his little sister/family. She was a shame to the family in his opinion, and that was also filled with hostility from his own bad experiences with her (she was stronger than him). --[[User:Dark Kaito|Dark Kaito]] ([[User talk:Dark Kaito#top|talk]]) 09:05, 12 July 2014 (CDT)

Kaito, I'm just translating the words, as far as spacing or cosmetic issues goes of any of my submissions, whatever makes it appear easier to read or navigate is fine.

Just to clarify before i make some changes 'Dorudia' is the village name and 'Dedorudia' is the race, cause there are times where 'Dorudia race' is used instead of 'Dedorudia race'. [[User:Pumkingboyz|Pumkingboyz]] ([[User talk:Pumkingboyz|talk]]) 03:36, 19 July 2014 (CDT)

I can't remember if that's my mistake or the authors, but yes they are generally slightly different, Dorudia is the village and Dedorudia is the race. I type them out on auto based on what I see so it might have been my mistake or incorrect in the text, feel free to fix it. --[[User:Dark Kaito|Dark Kaito]] ([[User talk:Dark Kaito#top|talk]]) 07:16, 19 July 2014 (CDT)

In relation to Dorudia and whatnot, it's specified that the branches are based on genus type of beast clan.: Dorudo is the root word, treated like Migurudo or Superudo. It becomed Dorudia when specifically referenced. Those of the "A" branch: become Adorudia, usually these would be those of the Canine Dorudia lineage (In the upcoming case of Pursena). Those of the "De" branch are Dedorudia, and those are usually of the Feline Dorudia lineage (in this case, Gaius, Ghyslaine, Linnea etc.), since the Canine/Feline branches of the beast clan are considered to be "royalty." At least that is what I came across on my first run through the explanations. Pretty sure it gets mentioned a bit in V7CH4-5 or V8CH3-4. Also, Kaito, I asked a buddy about Tokubetsu Sei a bit when I had the chance, and he mentioned that when used in the context of a school setting, it is a rather outdated (Showa Era) way of saying "Exchange Student." Apparently, it has other connotations as well depending on the situation it's used in, insofar as it can also be loosely translated to something like "Custom-made." (It's a common enough phrase in most GunPla communities when talking about self made or original fabrication builds.) Considering the fact that our dear Rudeus happens to be a Showa Era PlaMo enthusiast, it makes sense that he would use it that way. --[[User:Skuizaan|Skuizaan]] ([[User talk:Skuizaan|talk]]) 00:04, 20 July 2014 (CDT)

I've updated the Naming page could you double check before i make thses changes in couple days [[User:Pumkingboyz|Pumkingboyz]] ([[User talk:Pumkingboyz|talk]]) 03:37, 22 July 2014 (CDT)

Not sure if you will see this soon since you're on break. I'm posting here instead of the [[Talk:Mushoku_Tensei:Volume_06_Chapter_9|talk page]] since it's a general thing that applies to multiple chapters. You said "so it's basically the same name said twice in two different ways as most abilities are in Mushoku" but I think you're misinterpreting the formatting. The author uses parentheses () for furigana in many cases. In earlier chapters the author uses them for many things, but I just went through vol 12-13 and aside from some voiced thoughts on lines by themselves, every use of parentheses is definitely furigana. Examples of terms with furigana are magic item, magic armor, elf/dwarf/hobbit. The author also specified how 人神 is pronounced Jinshin (in chapter 179 using parentheses for furigana, but even earlier a fan asked the author "How is it pronounced?" and [http://seesaawiki.jp/musyo-ten/d/%b3%e8%c6%b0%ca%f3%b9%f0%a4%e8%a4%ea|was told Jinshin in return]). In particular, spells often have an English-based pronunciation specified in furigana. But furigana for terms isn't stated every time it's used, usually just the first time and whenever the author wants to remind the reader. 岩砲弾 is ストーンキャノン (Stone Cannon/Stonecannon), 乱魔 is ディスタブ・マジック (Disturb Magic). (Of course, it wouldn't make sense to write Stone Cannon every time 岩砲弾 appears, since that term is usually used to refer to the bullet/cannonball itself rather than just the name of the spell which summons it; I didn't do so for the chapter I translated.) So for example, every time Rudeus or Orsted says 乱魔, even if there's no parentheses next to it, you can assume he's actually voicing it as Disturb Magic.

Something happened to links after volume four???

It looks like the change to the format has broken the ability to read the chapters in the collapsed area with the Baka-tsuki app, can you please fix this/return it to the way it was? 00:29, 28 July 2014 (CDT)

Hi Dark Kaito, im one of the editors, i just read that you use MT along with kanji, and i was honestly surprised since it dosnt seem so. I wanted to congratulate you for the effort you put in those chapters you have done. I have edited some of your chapters and honestly there were just some minor mistakes and redaction issues easy to fix. Don't Think So Lowly Of Yourself. I also want to advance forward with mushoku tensei and your help is well recieved. I also enjoy editing the chapters you do. So lets keep up the pace! (though in a week i enter university so things will get messier for me lol) [[User:Trejon|Trejon]] ([[User talk:Trejon|talk]])
PD: i took the liberty to fix COTHER comments since he didnt put his name at the end and just added new titles.

There was another Title there before someone changed it, that's why it got lost there, the question was this.

Although, it seems there are outstanding talents like Sylphy and Cliff once in every ten years.

Outstanding talents once in every ten years.

That means every year there's one guy like that.

'''The first 2 lines say that those talents come along 1 every 10 years, but the last line from my interpretation is that it's 1 every 1 year'''

I was going to fix the third line so it matches with the other 2 just wanted to make sure that the first 2 were correct, I'm probably just going to fix it now. -[[User:Marrow|Marrow]] ([[User talk:Marrow|talk]]) 23:12, 30 July 2014 (CDT)

I was looking over the latest edits for Chapter 126 and noticed that some of the changes made by John Woodward seem to be a little off. I also noticed that his and several other people's edits on previous chapters also seem to be the same way. Can a supervisor or translator check them? Might be just me though.--[[Special:Contributions/24.196.214.144|24.196.214.144]] 00:01, 15 August 2014 (CDT)

==cother need of advice==
up to now is my translation Mushoku Tensei web novel ch 155 good or hopeless ?----[[User:COTHER|COTHER]] ([[User talk:COTHER|talk]]) 19:50, 2 August 2014 (CDT)

thanks I just wanted to know how far I could improve by giving up MTs and using my one way as a novice in Japanese but getting to that result surpassed my exaptation, I will improve from now and get a hand on how to translate from the raw text directly--[[User:COTHER|COTHER]] ([[User talk:COTHER|talk]]) 18:03, 3 August 2014 (CDT)

== Editing Mushoku Tensei, Volume 6 ==

Hi [[User: Dark Kaito|Dark Kaito]],

Since I'm editing volume 6, I figure I'll put my questionable edits directly here, as opposed to the Mushoku Tensei Chapter Talk page/or with '''(!)''' all over as I have been doing... If you'd like this done in a different way (through email, google doc page, pastebin, or whatever) I'm open to it.

FYI the format is as follows:

Original Japanese Text

Original Translation

My (questionable) edit

====Web Chapter 52====

=====Part 2=====

一気に強国へとのし上がった国だ。

they pushed through to become a strong kingdom all at once.

they became the dominant economic power and rapidly expanded to become a strong kingdom.

=====Part 4=====
というような感じで絡んできて、ワンパンで沈む

Those who got involved with that sort of feeling usually ended up falling with one punch.

Those who pick a fight like that usually end up falling in one punch.

====Web Chapter 53====

=====Part 1=====
シーローン王国は、途中で立ち寄った二国同様、王竜王国の属国みたいなものだ。

The Shirone Kingdom is one of the countries you stop by on the way, same as the other two kingdoms, it's like a vassal kingdom to the Dragon King Kingdom.

If you were to stop by the Shirone Kingdom on the way to the Dragon King Kingdom it's like the other two kingdoms, a vassal state.

====Misc Notes====

Vassal Kingdom doesn't actually exist. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassal_state Vassal state] is the correct term, although [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectorate protectorate] is the more modern term.

== About chapter 103 ==

Hi Dark Kaito, i wanted to ask you if you will take [Web Novel 103] Chapter 5: Treatment of the Sisters? since nobody registered for it. So its odd that you took all chapters except that one.[[User:Trejon|Trejon]] ([[User talk:Trejon|talk]]) 21:03, 5 August 2014 (CDT)

== Greetings ==

Hey Dark Kaito, just wanted to apologize for taking up Chapter 104.5 in Mushoku Tensei, took it on during the spur of the moment. While it is a bit late, I want to know if it is okay to keep the work I have done on the page. If you don't agree, I can go ahead and take it down. I will also talk to Kazeboy as well since it looks like the both of you have a majority of this volume.
