== Thank you! ==

thanks for the great series, finally something that combines my 2 loves MMORPG and light novels. <3 in a completely non homoerotic way. Im cheering you on =D

Thanks a lot for translating SAO, I truly am amazed by the speed and quality of your translations and I really hope that you can keep it up. Be sure to take a breather once in a while though, no one wants you to overwork yourself.

I love the first three chapters you have already translated. It's amazing, I hope you could continue translating them. Thanks for all the work you are doing!

I agree. The first 3 chapters are amazing, and the fourth was also pretty cool, and now I want the rest of ch. 5. Give me MOOOAR!!! Thank you!

Thanks a lot for Sword Art Online. It's very good. Keep up the uploads please! ^_^

Thank you it is amazing so far I am glad you are translating it.

I really have to thank you all for reading ^^. Just makes me want to keep translating! I've almost finished with chap 6 right now. About a page left!

I have to offer my sincerest thanks as well. It's been a blast reading even the first six chapters. Your translating skills are pretty amazing even without editors and I can't wait to read more. Your speed is also incredible, but even if you slow down it would still be much faster than most everything on here. I've read most of everything on Baka-Tsuki, and can't wait for the rest of this.

Hmmm it's hard to explain this.... I'd be happy if you don't report me Sharramon. But, I've been editing some of your SAO. I realize that the way you type it is the direct translation, but some of it turns out grammatically odd. I honestly don't know for what reason I'm doing this, but hopefully I'm not destroying the voice of the author. This was an exceptional light novel you started. If my edits have some how detracted from what you wanted; I apologize for the time it may require for you to re-edit the chapters. Once again, thank you for your hard work.
ps- I'm also the 71.60.224.130 IP user

Thanks for the translation for SAO! Keep up the work and speed ^_^

Any and all edits are, frankly, a huge help to me. Since (looking at the speed I do these things) I have a tendency to rush sometimes. I don't go over things properly and even if I do I've convinced myself that it sounds alright (XD) so a fresh pair of eyes is a..... blessing(?). So keep doing it! And you always have my thanks. ^^

Quick question Sharramon, whats up with all the stuttering? I'm not second guessing your translations, but this author must LOVE making its characters seem real by making them stutter every other freaking sentence.

Most probably to emphasis the awkwardness that the characters are feeling? There IS quite a lot of stuttering going on now I think about it....

Thank you very much for your translations! This is a very good novel and for us who can't read Japanese, it's a blessing to be able to read it in English. Anyway, I just wanted to cheer you on! Oh and by the way, thank you also, to the guy who edits (in a good way) the chapters. Direct translation from Japanese to English sometimes sounds weird and it's really nice of you to help anyway you can! Thanks again!! and Keep up the good work. (no pressure, just encouragement. XD)

I apologize if I'm bothering you. But, in chapter 2 there is a weird sentence: "To jump into the game." It feels incomplete, or just completely unnecessary. I know I'm just a reader, and all your doing is directly translating, but I think you should either expand the sentence or possibly remove it.

Well it actually seems fine.... perhaps I should change it to "To jump into the game..." it's like a sort of statement of.... surprise? Or something similar. I'm reluctant to take it out since it was actually in the book exactly like that. I don't mind changing some things about a sentence but taking out a whole sentence altogether seems a bit....

Okay, and I completely agree with you about detracting from a work. It just seems a bit off, and incomplete.
:How about using: "To literally jump into the game"?

I've checked the Chinese version of that line, Sharramon. Would these sound more complete in a sense?
"We've completely entered the game." / "We're completely in the game." / "We've completely leapt into the game."
Just a tip on translation. Sometimes you need to completely reword and even add words to the phrase for it to make sense. English often needs a subject for the meaning to be clear. Chinese and Jap don't seem to need that as often.

I got to say, I still haven't thanked you for translating SAO, SAO was the first ever light novel I ever read and thank you so much for bringing it into English. I also got to thank you that after reading SAO I wished to help translate it. Once again thank you and I hope to do good wherever you are at the moment. - Desodus

== Manga/Anime ==

Is there a manga or anime of SAO? If so could you tell us where we can read translated chapters of it or watch subbed episodes of it?
:It is not a matter of IF, but rather WHEN.
As far as I know; no. The light novel series only started last year in Japan as well.

There are drama cd/voice cast of this I believe, and extra stories(or are they the real ones?) on http://wordgear.x0.com/novel/
If you don't mind the horrible google translate you can always read it like that haha.
Thanks for translating btw, its really well done. -Swiftstrike

== To Sharramon ==

Alright I sent it to your email.

I have volumes 5 and 6, I was wondering whether I could give the scans to you or post the novel illustrations.

Are you the Jun9008 who translated moonlight sculptor along with the id light novel? If so, thanks for that and i'm wondering if there are any planned updates coming up. if not, well, i'd still like to say how really grateful i am for all the work you've put into sword art online!

Mad thanks for translating this, guys. Did you buy the source novels? ~BunBun

Thanks for translating SAO, I've been wanting to find out what will happen to Kirito and Asuna since volume 1 was finished.

gj on the trans!!! finally we get to read the rest of volume 31!!!

You are my hero!!!! Thanks for the SAO translation!!!! -Herman285

Thx for translating this awesome novel. Just love the VR concept. Your speed is awesome I hope you dont die from it. You should take a look at the novel "Moonlight sculpter" as your next project ;-)

Wrong language, Black Cats have people translating from Chinese and Japanese, Moonlight Sculptor is in Korean.--[[User:Darn2k|Darn2k]] 16:05, 26 April 2011 (UCT)

i'm pretty sure there are some chinese versions of moonlight sculptor floating around out there.-tripcoded#anonymous

Again, thank you for everything! Your translation speed along with editing and proofreading combination is just amazing! Thank you so much for doing this!

I q8 thank you very much!!

Great job as usual. Your hard work is much appreciated. However somehow I doubt your experiment of only releasing half the chapter in hope of stemming off baka-tsuki from shutting down will work XD SAO is just too popular.

Yo! Are you gonna take over Volume 2 Warmth of the Heart Arc? --[[User:Ghost|Ghost]] 9:23, 19 May 2011 (GMT + 8)

just here to say thank you for all the work this group has done.

== Volume 2 (both of them). ==

You guys going to continue with them? I'm willing to take over otherwise, so if you want me to do so, do reply. --[[User:Tap|Tap]] 11:06, 9 July 2011 (UCT)

Nah, It's cool, I was thinking about doing it but got summer school to finish so it would be a great help if you finished up volume 2. - Desodus

Just to give you a small detail on how far we got with vol 2. Thunder finished warmth of heart part 4 then he went MIA after saying he's done rest of part 3 but lost comp access. The other translator working on red-nose reindeer got up to page 316 middle of part 2, then he went MIA also. --[[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] 08:25, 12 July 2011 (UCT)

Thanks for all your work! We really appreciate it!

Hi, thanks a lot for reviving the SAO project, its on of my favorite LNs and you´re doing a wonderful job on it...i´m honestly bad at this so let is slide a bit,xD.
Anyway to answer your question on mangafox(too lazy to make an account there), the yui´s chapter(background chapter), is one of the side stories of vol 2,
"Morning Dew Girl (Aincrad 22th Floor, October 2024)"

Well, thanks again for translating this great series and welcome to BT, cya round.--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 01:02, 27 April 2011 (UCT)

Okay then, thanks for that I also hope that you will enjoy volume 4, we are about half-way done
:Oh, that´s great news i´ll be eagerly waiting,xD--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 15:42, 28 April 2011 (UCT)

==On a side note==
Is this a trasator mix-up?:
"I said that she was my little sister, but she's actually my cousin. Because of some circumstances, she grew up with us from since she was born. She doesn't know this though. Well, maybe it's because of this... but I kept distancing myself from her without really meaning to. I even avoided running into her at home."[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sword_Art_Online:Volume_2_Chapter_1_Part_3 Volume_2_Chapter_1_Part_3]
From that you would infer that Suguha is the adopted child, that being totally the opposite of what it says in the prologue of vol 3. It´s been nagging at me for a while though if you ask me i think the latter is the correct meaning (Kazuto being the adopted son), but i while like it if you could clear it up for me.--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 15:44, 28 April 2011 (UCT)

Yes it seems it was a mess up of my part, sorry if you got confused or anything, Kazuto was adopted into Suguha's family. which volume was that from? I need to go make the change, or did someone do it already?
:Well i think i broke the link when i edited it at some point but it should work now(i think?), also that was from the first chapter of volume 2 that Sharramon translated(the third part), so it wasn´t your mistake, i was just asking for help in clearing it up,:D. The link above should work know but well if it doesn´t then you can find it in the wiki (Volume 2 Chapter 1 Part 3).--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 19:39, 28 April 2011 (UCT)

Sorry, but I didnt translate volume 2, I started on volume 3 and i will go back and finish volume 2 when volume 4 is done, I never saw a page of it other then the ones posted on B-T, so apparently it wasnt my fault.
:Yeah i know you didn´t translated it, i just wanted to know if you could clear it up, wheter it was a mix-up of the translator of volume 2(Sharramon) or the one that did the prologue of volume 3(KuroiHikari), thanks for that btw,:D--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 14:35, 2 May 2011 (UCT)

Oh, IDK if I can do that, I am currently working on volume 5 chapter 1 and finishing volume 4 chapter 9, there is another translator called Thunder who you could ask to do that, just go to the mangafox link

Are you translating HnA in the passe composse or the imparfait, so i know what to check for while editing?

Most of the time, I use the 'passé simple' to describe, as well as present. When Kinji is speaking to himself or to someone else, I use the 'passé composé' and when it is to mark a simultaneous action to a past tense word, united by a subordination conjunction, I use the 'imparfait', as well as in descriptive lines.
