EnigmaticAxiom: /* Numbers of chapters of each volume */

== This is important ==
I just went ahead and translated the rest of the Japanese names of the chapters. I noticed a few chapters having different ordering comparing the the Web novel. The current chapter 16 should be the 19th chapter from the web novel since, the naming make sense with the chapter's contents (trying to be as spoiler-free as possible). But the problem here lies in 'Black Headed Dog' chapter's contents (according to the web novel's version), which will be very weird without reading chapter 17-19 (preparation, armor, and hourglass) first. Although since the Light novel's version is different from the web novel's one, the contents might be slightly different(but both should be talking about Raphtaria's memory). With that said, what do you guys suggest we should do about this chapter('black headed dog')? Should I just translate according to the webnovel's flow, meaning: re-arranging 'Black Headed Dog' to ch 19?
 There is also chapter 20, 'sword', I don't remember reading any of the web novel's chapter that was close or similarly named around the time line of volume one ( before Wave 1 and a day or two after ). Should we just skip this chapter for now?
 Also, for the epilogue, can someone that has access to the light novel check for me if this is "分け合う痛み/Shared Pain" the 23rd chapter on the web novel website? I'm heading off for the day. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 01:35, 26 August 2014 (CDT)

Why not follow the manga?

How do I even begin to translate something that I don't have on hand? - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 21:32, 3 September 2014 (CDT)

Why did someone posted Vol.2 already? Aren't we chronogically translating the series?

That's from another translator, refer to registration page - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 21:32, 3 September 2014 (CDT)

== Others ==
F Y I, I will be updating my translation status on my profile as much as possible. We still need illustration picture so if anyone found some, please add it. - Alpaca. August 12th, 2014

Alpaca, here is chapter 22, some /a/non translated it
http://pastebin.com/Z94kTa6U

Hi, I have opened a wikia based on this web/light novel: http://tatenoyuushanonariagari.wikia.com/wiki/Tate_no_Yuusha_no_Nariagari_Wiki , you use the illustrations from the wikia.

I have no experience with attaching images to wikis, can I have you add it for me? PS: Actually, nvm I figured it out - Alpaca. August 13th, 2014

Added an illustration link and the other two pictures the wiki had for the first volume. [[User:Starwarscards|Starwarscards]] ([[User talk:Starwarscards|talk]]) 02:51, 22 August 2014 (CDT)

Thank you, I wrote down the character names on the character intro page's discussion page in case anyone want to redo the pic. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 16:58, 22 August 2014 (CDT)

How to add suggestion to edit? Quite many things that different from what I read... [[User:Chryrst|Chryrst]] ([[User talk:Chryrst|talk]]) 06:45, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

Like? Anyway, you can just throw it up on my talk page or this page. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 10:09, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

Lesse... 
- why Fittoria(present Filorial Empress) not included as list of hero?(carriage hero, the forgotten 8th of 7 star heroes) 
- why whip hero name is Taniko?(that's nickname Naofumi give to her, the real name is Wyndia(since my katakana name reading not too good, it's sound like that to me at least)) 
- why the ship hero name is rough?(it based on Raphtalia, so it ought to be Raph-chan. Yes, CHAN is part of the name, thus it would be Raph-chan-chan if other use suffix chan) 
- I never read any part that Filo ever being chosen by the axe weapon. It already midori's by time it spread out 
- likewise, Taniko(Wyndia) not originally meant to be whip hero. It supposed to be Rato's, but she use Wyndia as shield when the weapon approach her, thus it end up as Wyndia's 
- who the heck is Kagami?(u probably meant Glass, the fan hero, though I dunno how u end up with that name instead...) 
- why クズ not included as one of king alternate name?(even history book in 2nd to last chapter of main tale use that name instead) 
- why ビッチ and アバズレ in 1st princess page translate as same?(I know it literally mean same, but at least use different word for variation... Like b*tch and wh*re instead just b*tch) 
- common error of エアスト translated as instant everywhere 
- Motoyasu's curse series spear is supposed to be lust-envy spear, instead just envy spear 
- still in Motoyasu's, Buryunakku is supposed to be Brionac 
- every hero char(4 main + 7 star + 1 n additional 8) have 0の(weapon name) and 0xの(weapon name)... As these are only weapon that allow to damage final enemy(I mention this due Naofumi page include 0の盾 in his skill list) 
- why アトラ read as alta?(it's either Atla or Atra) 
- why there are only 1 Gaerion page? There at least 2(3 if gaiden included) different Gaerion that exists in story(Gaerion(parent of Wyndia), (Gaerion(Pet of Naofumi also pet of Wyndia(male)), and Gaerion(in gaiden story, pet of Naofumi and little sister of Wyndia(female)) 

I guess thats about it, since it's yet updated... [[User:Chryrst|Chryrst]] ([[User talk:Chryrst|talk]]) 11:56, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

I didn't add any of that as I haven't translated up to that point (I add as I translate each chapter). Those names and stuffs you just pointed there were what other users added, you're free to change it but I will double change those names/alt names as I continue with my translation (like, we aren't even at the point where Mein's identity got exposed yet, much less the point where 7 star heroes started to pop up). - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 15:44, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

(edit)i saw a post in pastebin about this web novel
"pastebin.com/vYeSW2sZ" by luxrayo with a content linking to a translation by anon on chap 22, 23, 24 & 25 and bakahou on chap 25, 26, 28, 29. Hope this helps. Thank you for the great translations. [[User:DevilByMySide|DevilByMySide]] ([[User talk:DevilByMySide|talk]]) 23:54, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

I'll translate those when I get to them, unless the author contact me directly and request for a release. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 21:35, 3 September 2014 (CDT)

== more translators. ==

You know you can just ask the guys over at the Mushoku Tensei project page or go the the fourm on animesuki. Im more thqn positive some one would help . Just tell them its q web n novel.

Hey , I'd like to help here , it seems interesting , but my translation sure needs editing , check it on Mushoku Tensei and let me know if you are okay with me helping out here , at least till some decent translator join in. [[User:Kazeboy|Kazeboy]] ([[User talk:Kazeboy|talk]]) 14 August 2014

I'd like help out too, although I am mediocre jap to en translator. btw the author has horrible romanji for english, you might not get the actual english words when you search in translating engines. -[[User:Banisher]]([[User talk:Banisher|talk]])

Any help would be welcome, just [[Tate_no_Yuusha:Registration_page|register]] yourselves before you start translating so we can all know which chapter you're working on to avoid confusion. It would also be preferred to keep consistency in translations so check/add to the terminology page as you go. If you need something, please contact me or throw me a private message, I'll send you my skype contact info. [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]])

I have filled up all the chapter names, some name which I don't understand I leave it as japanese and please do note that there are differences between the light novel and web novel. I still can't find the other name for the side story flag of the kids' lunch. -[[User:Banisher]]([[User talk:Banisher|talk]])

Looks good, I will do a check later on the names one I'm done with Ch5, roughly 70% done atm, editing and tlc-ing my self at the same time - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]])

Just added the entire Melromarc Royal Family for reference in the [[Tate_no_Yuusha:Names_and_Terminology]], you might want to check later on. -[[User:Banisher]]([[User talk:Banisher|talk]])

I will take a look at it in the evening, I've been translating the whole week, taking a day break atm. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]])

Hi, regarding Vol 1 chapter 10 お子様ランチ and Vol 1 side story 2 お子様ランチの旗, I am not sure whether did the publisher or author just put up one of the main chapters as a side story. But I can tell that chapter 10 お子様ランチ is based on web novel's お子様ランチの旗 and side story 2 お子様ランチの旗 is based on web novel's 旗、再び. Or Maybe you want to wait until volume 7 is up, then we do the side story which we can put a note there saying "Unable to finish the volume due to repetitive chapter names with unknown story content". Or we just based on web novel's 旗、再び for side story 2 お子様ランチの旗. - [[User:Banisher]]([[User talk:Banisher|talk]])

I think we should just leave the translation of side story 2 aside for now, until we can clarify it once volume 7 is released. . - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]])

== Thanks ==

I really want to thank Alpaca for his work, since I wanted to read this from a lot of time and no one started it. --[[User:Daru|Daru]] ([[User talk:Daru|talk]]) 19:48, 20 August 2014 (CDT)

You're welcome - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) August 20th, 2014

Let me give my thanks to for the team, I love the read the light novels that you guys translate, and this one is very interesting. Tanks!!!

Thanks for translating, but I want to ask about what kind of differences are there between the light novel and the web novl version? Is it something like SAO or Mahouka that first started as a web novel?

Light novels are physical novels that got published by publishers, they usually have illustrations. While Web novels are basically free on the authors' respective websites for those web novels, they don't usually have illustration and the chapters might not be nicely divided into sections (A.K.A arc or volume) comparing to the Light novels, which is the case for Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (there's no arc or volume or even chapter number on the web novel version of tate no yuusha no nariagari). - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 02:38, 25 August 2014 (CDT)

== Future Plan ==

Sorry if this come out as rude, but do you plan to continue translate this series pass Volume 1? I really appreciate your work and would love to be able to continue reading this LN.

If yes, will you also translate the Web Novel once you reach the end of the LN raw?
Thank you [[User:Takatathien|Takatathien]] ([[User talk:Takatathien|talk]])

This has been a translation of the web novel since the beginning, just so you know. It is just not so obvious since nobody has bothered to make it so. I also recommend that you should ask this sort of question to Alpaca on his/her talk page. It will also let Alpaca know through a notice. That is of course assuming that your question is for Alpaca. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 17:18, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Alpaca has mentioned that he/she wanted to get this WN approved for full project as soon as possible. Alpaca also implied that he/she would continue the project afterwards but at a slower pace since they will be in university at that point and thus less time to translate. [[User:DarkeKyuubi|DarkeKyuubi]] ([[User talk:DarkeKyuubi|talk]]) 21:30, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Just as DarkeKyuubi said, I'm planning on continue to translate this for a foreseen-able future. Also, as reply to the user that wrote and deleted their own message: It is reverse, the WN is much longer comparing to the LN, but I will translate the LN if I somehow ended up buying them later on down the road. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 23:27, 31 August 2014 (CDT)

I ordered the first 3 vols of the LN so I'll do the side stories when they arrive. By the way, how do you add timestamp to messages?

Name without time stamp is 3 '~' in a row to include timestamp its 4 '~' btw if you ever forget it its at the top of the editor in the help section under the discussion subsection. 
[[User:Yascob99|Yascob99]] ([[User talk:Yascob99|talk]]) 20:41, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

If you already ordered the LN then I guess we might as well ask of you to check the contents for us, see how different the LNs are compared to the WN and if we need to separate the chapters between them apart ( like the few final chapters of vol 1 ). If possible. - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca|talk]]) 23:54, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

Volume 1: 23 + Epilogue + Side Story x2 (Chapters 1-22 Web Novel + 1 New chapter + 2 new side stories)

Volume 2: Prologue + 20 + Epilogue + Side Story x1 (Chapters 23-45 Web Novel - 1 Chapter from Web Novel + 1 new side story)

Volume 3: Prologue + 20 + Epilogue + Side Story x1 (This is where things get confusing.

* LN 1, 3, 4, 5 have no corresponding WN chapters.
* LN 2 corresponds to WN chapter 45 but has different content (WN45 in LN volume 2)
* LN 6 = WN 47
* LN 7 has no corresponding chapter title.
* LN 8 = WN 50
* LN 9 = WN 48
* LN 10-15 = WN 51-56
* LN 16 = WN 58
* LN 17 has no corresponding chapter title.
* LN 18 = WN 61
* LN 19 has no corresponding chapter title.
* LN 20 = WN 63
* LN Epilogue = WN 64
* Side Story is new

Volume 4: Prologue + 12 + Epilogue + Short Story x1

Volume 5: Prologue + 13 + Epilogue + Side Story x1

Volume 6: Prologue + 16 + Epilogue + Side Story x1

For Volumes 4-6, there are enough differences that I'm not even bothering. Also, this was almost all done just by checking the titles. I haven't bothered comparing the two content-wise. Probably some WN Chapters split up and renamed, since they would have more content added with the official release.

EnigmaticAxiom:

=== About Myself ===
I enjoy reading LNs when I have the chance, and I prefer fantasy-type series over the romance and slice-of-life types, mainly because there are too many harem elements otherwise. When I'm not reading LNs here, I read through light novels, first with a dictionary/wiktionary to learn kanji, then with a machine translation so I can actually make progress. Any "translation" you see under my name is going to be a machine translation, even if I put the effort to translate with a dictionary, since I am absolutely confident my skill is currently below a machine translation. Below are some of the series I have invested time in or plan to do so. 

=== Machine Conversions ===
I'm getting this question more than I expected, so I'll put what I do up here (roughly). 
Preparation 
1. Find raw text or convert raw images to text. ABBYY FineReader does well for the image to text conversion. 
2. Insert any line/page breaks that might be missing. I match this up with the raw novels so it's easy to find any mistakes I might notice in the future. 
3. Change any common terminology/name to English with Find/Replace. It just makes things easier. 

Conversion 
Program: Translator Aggregator w/ Atlas, Google, and Excite always running. I will use other free machines (i.e. Bing/Babelfish) if I need them. 

Process: Convert by line (i.e. block of text) 
Convert by sentence if conversion by line is difficult 
Convert by fragment if conversion by sentence is difficult 
Mark anything I find difficult to understand, poorly converted, or difficult to convert 
Read the converted chapter to check for inconsistencies (i.e. lines which were poorly converted, or re-converting if more information was derived later in the chapter/book 
Read the converted novel for a general English edit. 

Pacing: 2-3 pages/hr (Personal Translation followed by Machine Conversion), 5-20 pages/hr (Machine Conversion only, depending on the complexity of the novel) 

'''As a side note, I am currently not doing any of the above. If I'm reading it, I'm reading it with a dictionary in one hand and Dover's in the other. I also use Denshi Jisho's online dictionary. Due to this, I am not doing Machine Conversions anymore.'''

=== Madan no Ou to Vanadis ===
Volume 01: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 02: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 03: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 04: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 05: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 06: Supporting the current translators 
Volume 07: Supporting the current translators 
I doubt I'll release anything more on this series unless I'm in the mood, and since I've gotten a rudimentary understanding of the language, it's become much easier for me to explore other LNs that haven't really had any discussion regarding translation or haven't shown any signs of being touched. As such, I'm getting side tracked from this series.

=== Shissou Suru Shisunki no Parabellum ===
Volume 01: Machine/Personal Translation Complete 
Volume 02-07: May or may not read. 

=== Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei ===
Heavily invested in this series. Mainly checking portions/terminology/names that I feel may be mistranslated or oddly worded, using the web novel as a reference as to where things might seem off. Support Dreyakis and Seitsuki for their hard work! 

=== Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desuyo ===
Volume 01-02: Read 
Volume 03: Slowly reading 
Volume 04-08: Supporting the current translators 
Call me a bandwagon hopper, though I started reading when I found out it would be an anime and not after it was made into one. I don't think I'll be reading Volumes 4-8 for a while.

=== Gakusen Toshi Asterisk ===
Volume 01: Read 
Volume 02-03: Supporting the current translators
Volume 1 didn't strike me as great, so I'm probably not touching this one too much.

EnigmaticAxiom:

A note for those who are wondering or have asked, for Madan no Ou Volume 6, I will eventually make a pdf, and for Volume 7, I will eventually read it, but I will not likely be releasing anything for it other than a pdf from someone else. There are a few reasons for this, the two main ones being that I am getting busier with work and classes and that I am currently reading Mondaiji Volume 3 and Hiera-Glaphicos Volume 2. It's not like I've lost the interest in this series so much as I'm not in the mood to read it now. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] 7:33 2013 August 21 (CST)

When will the translation of Madan no Ou volume 6 coming up ?? I'm so excited with what will happen !!!! xD

Hey EA, mind sending me the preview for parabellum that u made? Wanna check it. [[User:Par74583|Par74583]] ([[User talk:Par74583|talk]]) 22:20, 12 May 2013 (GMT+7)

Cleared up a whole bunch of comments because I get tired of looking at the wall of text when someone wants to leave a message! Anyway, the answer to the two above questions is this. 1. I am not doing anything with Madan no Ou Volume 6 since there are translators working on it. Since I'm learning the language, my pace would be no faster, if not slower, than theirs. 2. Parabellum preview is already up on the appropriate page, so just go download it. That one was a mostly a personal translation (with a dictionary and everything), but I was (and still am) quite weak on the grammar, so I'm not sure it's much better than anything else I've put out :( --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] 10:31 2013 May 12 (CST)

Amazing job on the Vanadis Previews, I was expecting a really bad machine translation, but it read like a fully translated, edited, and proofed release.

Hey Engimatic, I was wondering if you will be making a pdf for volume 6 after it has been edited for awhile. [[User:Xanga|Xanga]] ([[User talk:Xanga|talk]]) 22:17, 26 June 2013 (GMT+7)

Maybe. I'd probably edit it myself, since all my pdfs are done in my own style of writing. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] 14:39 2013 June 27 (CST)

EnigmaticAxiom:

=== About Myself ===
I enjoy reading LNs when I have the chance, and I prefer fantasy-type series over the romance and slice-of-life types, mainly because there are too many harem elements otherwise. When I'm not reading LNs here, I read through light novels, first with a dictionary/wiktionary to learn kanji, then with a machine translation so I can actually make progress. Any "translation" you see under my name is going to be a machine translation, even if I put the effort to translate with a dictionary, since I am absolutely confident my skill is currently below a machine translation. Below are some of the series I have invested time in or plan to do so. 

=== Machine Conversions ===
I'm getting this question more than I expected, so I'll put what I do up here (roughly). 
Preparation 
1. Find raw text or convert raw images to text. ABBYY FineReader does well for the image to text conversion. 
2. Insert any line/page breaks that might be missing. I match this up with the raw novels so it's easy to find any mistakes I might notice in the future. 
3. Change any common terminology/name to English with Find/Replace. It just makes things easier. 

Conversion 
Program: Translator Aggregator w/ Atlas, Google, and Excite always running. I will use other free machines (i.e. Bing/Babelfish) if I need them. 

Process: Convert by line (i.e. block of text) 
Convert by sentence if conversion by line is difficult 
Convert by fragment if conversion by sentence is difficult 
Mark anything I find difficult to understand, poorly converted, or difficult to convert 
Read the converted chapter to check for inconsistencies (i.e. lines which were poorly converted, or re-converting if more information was derived later in the chapter/book 
Read the converted novel for a general English edit. 

Pacing: 2-3 pages/hr (Personal Translation followed by Machine Conversion), 5-20 pages/hr (Machine Conversion only, depending on the complexity of the novel) 

'''As a side note, I am currently not doing any of the above. If I'm reading it, I'm reading it with a dictionary in one hand and Dover's in the other. I also use Denshi Jisho's online dictionary. Due to this, I am not doing Machine Conversions anymore.'''

=== Madan no Ou to Vanadis ===
Volume 01: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 02: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 03: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 04: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 05: Machine Translation Complete 
Volume 06: Supporting the current translators 

=== Shissou Suru Shisunki no Parabellum ===
Volume 01: Machine/Personal Translation Complete 
Volume 02-07: May or may not read. 

=== Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei ===
Heavily invested in this series. Mainly checking portions/terminology/names that I feel may be mistranslated, using the web novel as a reference. Support Dreyakis and Seitsuki for their hard work! 

=== Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desuyo ===
Volume 01-02: Read 
Volume 03-07: Supporting the current translators 
Call me a bandwagon hopper, though I started reading when I found out it would be an anime and not after it was made into one. I don't think I'll be reading Volumes 3-7 for a while.

Setsuna's profile says he's French. No matter how good he is at Japanese or English, neither is his first language, more likely than not, so it's not surprising.

Okay, ZAIZEAH, I will clear up some of ur questions. First, Tigre's title is bestowed upon him by King Faron. Second, the salty part, Tigre was worried that the air will effect the bow (basically salty air). Third, the thugs part, Tigre pushed the guy who he used as a shield.

Talk:Madan no Ou to Vanadis:Volume 06 Chapter 3

EnigmaticAxiom:

"I am one of the seven Vanadis of Zchted. The Moon Princess Olga Tamm bestowed with the land of Brest and the Dragonic Tool named Takeshi also known as the curse of the reversal is me. [『崩呪の弦武』の二つ名を持つ竜具ムマとブレストの地を賜った『羅轟の月姫』ーオルガーータム. (Translation of this part difficult for me) someone will have to recheck this Translation.]"

It's seem untidy to put this into the main text so I going to delete the following:[『崩呪の弦武』の二つ名を持つ竜具ムマとブレストの地を賜った『羅轟の月姫』ーオルガーータム. (Translation of this part difficult for me) someone will have to recheck this Translation.]" Also this is were such problems are discussed or the forums.

「I am one of the seven Vanadis of Zhcted. The 『Ruined Curse of the War Song』 who inherited the land of Brest and the Viralt with the second name, 『{{furigana|Moon Princess of the Converging Roar|Bardiche}}』 -- Olga Tamm. That is me.」
That's the best my crappy mind can come up with. The kanji themselves are, for the most part, lost on me. 弦 can mean bowstring or chord (as in sound), and 武 tends to be more of a militaristic type thing, I believe. For 羅 and 轟, I looked to online dictionaries for the Chinese meaning, rather than the Japanese meaning, and the results are roughly what I wrote above. Again, I could be completely wrong, but that's my interpretation on it. Either way, the name Olga is correct. I'm not sure why the person changed it to "Oruga" (which is a literal pronunciation) when it's romanized in the only image in the novel. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 7:52 2013 May 09 (CST)

== 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.

== 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.

Personally, I think Lily works better, since the kata would be the same, and it's an actual name. I've also got a few questions regarding the names. ルイオス is Ru-i-o-su, so I'm not sure about Louis being a good name to use. I would think Ruios or Luios would be more appropriate here. The same goes for アーシャ. I would think Asha would be more appropriate than Ayesha. Louis and Ayesha certainly are english names, but the pronunciations just don't work out. Also, アルゴール is definitely not Al Gore. It's Algol. イグニファトゥス being Ignis Fatuus is literally Ignifatus, but the lore fits Ignis Fatuus, so I think that would be more appropriate. I think Sarah should remain Sala, since Sala + Mandra = Salamandra. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 12:41, 19 April 2013 (CST)

'Kuro Usagi recovered from her distress and started emanating an aura of rage from her whole body, changing her hair color from glossy black to light red.' - Does it really say 'Glossy Black' and 'Light Red' in the LN because in the illustration Kuro Usagi has blue and pink hair and in the anime too.

It's not. It reads closer to "Dark hair" since 黒 (Black) and 黒い (Dark) are different. I had an issue when reading this, though only for a little bit. Her hair is a darker blue, though I guess it's hard to tell with the coloration shown in images. -- [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 13:15 18, April, 2013 (CST)

I think it's not Bezobrakov but Bezoblakov. Since he is russian and latter could be translated as "without clouds" or "not cloudy". Not real russian surname though.

The only line I can think of hinting that he is alive is the one saying "as we are aware of Lie Yunde's movements" or whatever, but that just means they were aware he was active, which is why they know he is dead. As for the russian name, I would be more inclined to think it to be Bezobrazov. ベゾブラゾフ = Bezoburazofu, and there technically is some Russian person named Aleksandr Bezaobrazov according to wiki.

I agree, no reason to shorten it. It just creates a unnecessary footnote. [[User:All Nighter94|All Night]] ([[User talk:All Nighter94|talk]])

You should pretty much assume that all acronyms are copied straight out of the original text, so they should stay as is. [[User:Rava|Rava]] ([[User talk:Rava|talk]]) 09:00, 4 March 2013 (CST)

You can make that assumption, but in this case, it's wrong, sadly to say. The original text has no such acronym of RTB. It is possible the chinese translator used it, or it is possible Drey added it in himself. Also, any acronym in MKnR is explained in full terminology at least once. Since RTB is only ever used once in the entire text, there is no particular reason to believe it was in the original.

What does Halloween have to do with being a christian ??

Though the origin of the word Halloween is Christian, the holiday is commonly thought to have pagan roots.[12] Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain", which comes from the Old Irish for "summer's end"

sankyou for de previews dood!.You are a genius.
About how you are learning Japanese,Are you learning it online,If then cud you give me the link to a website?pls pls pleasss.Or is their any method that you recommend?.
Have a nice day.

Nothing in particular. I was originally starting with Anki and Heisig's "Remembering the Kanji" to start off, but I stopped doing that. It's actually quite a good method, but since I was trying to read Light Novels anyway, I ended up spending a lot of time just picking out kanji and looking them up in dictionaries. I would highly recommend the Anki (flashcard program) and Heisig method, but it takes two years or so depending on how much time you invest every day. I plan on returning to it eventually, but that will probably only be when I've gotten through the LNs I really want to read.

Another method I considered was to make my own, physical flash cards. Go to the wiki "Kanji by Stroke Count" page and start there. Write the symbol on one side and put the pronunciation, 1 or 2 meanings (they're usually very similar anyway), and the stroke count. Though it is more methodical and includes stroke count + pronunciation (Heisig's only includes meaning), it doesn't offer helpful stories to remember the kanji like you might see in the former method. Heisig's is a good method for reading, but since you don't know what the pronunciation is, it does crap for your ability to speak the language.

If you're looking to read, then Anki + Heisig works well. If you plan to speak, consider Rosetta Stone or a similar program (I gave this a try and just found it somewhat annoying. Very good, but very annoying). If you're looking to do both, it might be best to go for the self-made flashcard route.
Really, it's up to you to decide. There are plenty of methods you can find online, just find one that suits you and tailor it to the time you can offer to it. Since I'm just jumping straight into the LNs and looking up the kanji and what the hira/kata mean, I'm not progressing much in terms of vocabulary, but I'm learning the grammar a bit. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 11:10, 09 November 2012 (CST)

Thanks bro.You're really helpfull.

Anyway I'm the same as you.I'm trying to learn the language in order to read LNs and you know,help up with the translations.

So I should go for the Anki + Heisig and try to read the LNs using a Jap dictionary and google translator right?
.I can learn the vocabulary at leisurely pace anyway.

Thanks again man.You were a real help.I tried googling but there's just so many sites,I didn't know where to look for a efficient/helpful way to learn Jap.If you don't mind me asking,how long did it take for you to be able to read Japanese?

Sorry for taking your time.XD

I can't read Japanese. I'm in the process of learning. I've had katakana/hiragana down for a long time, and I have a rough grasp of what is being said when I hear Japanese, but I can't read it. The grammar is something that can be picked up by reading, but what I lack most is probably vocabulary, which is why I'm focusing on kanji for now (I've been using my LN method for a month and a half now, or something like that?). Since I've been doing this in my free time, I'm getting a whee bit better, but I still think the machine translation is a better interpretation than my own. What I released was primarily the machine translation; I just went through on my own beforehand purely for the sake of learning. I doubt anything I ever "translate" will be anything but a machine translation until I can read without referring to the dictionary for every sentence. Even if it does get to that point, I may very well be too tired of doing all this to properly translate anything for the wiki.

This LN method may be far more time consuming than other methods I mentioned, but it's enjoyable for me. It lets me compare my own interpretation to a (sadly) more accurate machine translation. Even if I don't actually learn anything, I can continue the next day because it is enjoyable. I think one of the biggest reasons people say "I can't read Japanese/Chinese" is because they have an interest, they give learning the language a try, and then they give up after a few days. Language isn't something so simple to learn that you'll pick up a few words here or there in a few days. They don't find it enjoyable and quit; I'm no different. I've been down this path 3 or 4 times, and I've only got hiragana and katakana down to show for it (and sometimes I have to check those as well, if I'm having a brain fart).

I will say this again. This will require a lot of time, no matter what method you choose, so do one you can devote time to (the Anki/Heisig Method is good if you can give it an hour or two a day, every day, since it's good for review). It takes a child approximately 4 years to properly learn how to speak (birth to age 4) during a period of rapid mental growth (which none of us have now) in an environment conducive to learning (they're constantly in an area where the language is being spoken). Most of us are at a point in our lives where we can't devote much time to learning a language, live in a place where the language isn't spoken, and are old enough where our minds aren't flexible enough to pick information up. If you want to bother learning, I would suggest you make sure you can stick with a consistent schedule for at least a month without getting exhausted before you bother starting. This will vary from person to person, but I think it's something a lot of people don't bother thinking about; they just throw themselves into something way over their head without planning. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 10:30, 10 November 2012 (CST)

ABBYY Fine Reader to do image --> text.

Read line by line. If confusing, read sentence by sentence. If confusing, read fragment by fragment (between punctuation).

Keep things in the back of your mind, so if you find something that differs from what you read earlier, recheck both portions and compare.

Attempt to keep things coherent on at least a page by page basis. If it doesn't make sense in one line, chances are you fucked up somewhere else.

As for how long it takes, no idea. My schedule now is different from my schedule before. Since I attempt to read myself, I catch some of the kanji errors that occur from ABBYY Fine Reader, but my pace is probably 2-3 pages an hour at most (for Vanadis, since my vocabulary is a bit more geared towards it, maybe I can double that on a good pace). That's 2-3 LN pages, not word document pages. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 28 November 2012, 14:40 (CST)

Up to you. I posted it precisely because I didn't care and I kept getting questions, I suppose.

Shissou Suru Shishunki no Parabellum

{{Warning:ATP}}
[[File:Parabellumcover.png|thumb|300px]]
Shissou Suru Shishunki no Parabellum (疾走する思春期のパラベラム) is a light novel series written by Fukami Makoto and illustrated by Unaji. The series is completed with seven volumes. The original publisher is Enterbrain (エンターブレイン).

==Story Synopsis==
"It is a boring club", Sasaki Itto was interested in entering the Movie Club just because of such a light and lazily written club introduction. He was 2 months late starting school because of his family's problems, and with hope and anxiety he entered the club's room. Inside the room, there is Hasegawa Shiho who is dancing while holding a toy gun, and the arrogant Kudou Ozuma. "Get the hell out of here! You have nothing to do in this club" - was the greeting Itto got from Ozuma.

But on the way home from school, Itto gets attacked by a guy with a huge weapon. By coincidence Shiho was also there and the attacker changes his target to attack Shiho. In the urge to save her from the attacks, Itto's power as a Parabellum awakened...

EnigmaticAxiom:

thank you for the update.

== Electrons ==

Not that I have RAWs to check it, but since they are talking about nuclear fusion (mind that "nuclear"), shouldn't it be "protons" (or nuclei) instead of "electrons"?--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 14:38, 14 February 2013 (CST)

Though some of them could be "electric" (electron repulsion forces -> electric repulsion forces). --[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:31, 14 February 2013 (CST)

"Electron" was written in hiragana/katakana, instead of kanji, so it was not a mistake. Remember, the energy used for nuclear fusion is used to force the nuclei together, but the electrons are left floating on their own, exerting their own repulsive forces, which is why it is called electron repulsive forces. While I can't be 100% sure, I have translated this passage twice, using google/atlas for the web novel, and a dictionary for the light novel. On top of that, I did the research when reading the web novel and reviewed the material when reading the light novel, so I have some confidence in it :P --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 17:10, 14 February 2013 (CST)

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion#Requirements, the "primary obstacle for thermonuclear power" that Suzune is talking about should be the repulsive electrostatic force between positively charged protons. Nuclear fusion involves bringing the two protons together and fuse them to form helium nuclei, and this involves very short distances that I don't think the free electrons will come to play at all. Also, it has been a while since I took chemistry, but I think the term "ionized electron" doesn't make any sense. Ions always refer to the atomic nucleus that has lost or gained electrons so that the whole become positively/negatively charged. So, if we are strictly following the physics, I believe it should be changed to protons. But if that is what is in the original raw, I guess it is more important to maintain translation accuracy?

[this response is now redundant with the above, but I don't feel like throwing away what I typed. simultaneous edits...] While I'm not a nuclear physicist, I would have to agree with Kemm that the explanation of a thermonuclear reaction in the chapter seemed off. The repulsion forces between the nuclei are the primary barrier that must be overcome for fusion to occur. Electrons do of course repel each other, but they don't have any reason to collide or fuse in a nuclear fusion reaction. ''That said, I could believe that the translation is accurate as it is''. Light novel authors aren't necessarily picky about their scientific details, or being scientifically accurate (though this is one of the larger hic-ups I've seen). Of course, the author could also always just say that physics and "thermonuclear fusion" don't work the same way in this universe; there is already magic. --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 17:38, 14 February 2013 (CST)

:Technobabble in stories ALWAYS needs to be accurate based on what the original text says, not on what actual research says. Making "helpful" corrections to information in order to make them actual facts can actually piss a lot of people off if it gets referenced later on by something else and there's no consistency. [[User:Rava|Rava]] ([[User talk:Rava|talk]]) 17:49, 14 February 2013 (CST)

It is possible the author used "Electron Repulsive Forces" because "Electric Repulsive Forces" does not quite exist in the Japanese language, or because that phrase would refer to a more electricity type phenomenon than an atomic one. It is also possible he uses the term as an all-encompassing one, including both the forces from the nuclei and the electrons. If you read further down in the requirements section of the wiki page (geh, I hate referring to wiki, but it's the easiest to find and understand resource), there's mention that removing electrons requires much less energy than fusing the nucleii together, and other electrons are released due to the instability of the atom, which provides enough energy to overcome the energy barrier required for fusion to occur. Assuming this is the case, there would be a mass of electrons floating about, which could also pose a problem, since their repulsive forces should theoretically be about the same as the nuclei repulsive force (coulomb's law is dependent on charge and distance, not mass).

Anyway, I'm ending it here now. It's a pointless conversation, I think. I feel the author tries to be as accurate as possible to the science, but the explanation is a bit too vague for such a complicated topic (despite how many pages he spends talking about it) to really say anything one way or the other :(

I really wish I had that piece of paper I wrote all this one, because I'm pretty sure it addressed this very issue. Then again, I read the web novel over a year ago, so that paper is long gone. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 18:20, 14 February 2013 (CST)

=== '''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. When are you going to translate the Afterwords or The Late Great Favorite?'''

Uh, probably some far distant time in the future. (read: never) The Afterwords and the Late Great Favorite bear no impact on the story itself. They are merely the author's thoughts as each novel comes to a close. Hence why their priority is very, very low.

'''3. 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.

'''4. 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.

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

Until otherwise stated, yes. Volume 5 may get delayed though, since it is a collection of side stories rather than advancing the main plot. We'll see what happens after the Nine Schools Competition.

'''6. 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.

'''7. 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.

'''8. 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'''===
Thanks a lot for 5th chapter. And i also got a question, on the Mahouka page on facebook there's something called Double Act 7 which is set in the second year, can you tell something more about it and does it come as a novel or in a magazine. Again thank's a lot for 5th chapter. --[[User:Silver Horn|Silver Horn]] ([[User talk:Silver Horn|talk]]) 04:28, 16 January 2013 (CST)

Double 7 is in Dengeki Bunko or whatever that magazine is. So far, the first 2 segments (I guess chapters 0-6) have been released, and it is 2nd year as you say. It's an unedited portion and "spoiler free," so it's more akin to the web novels. It would take place after Web Arc 6, of course. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 05:15, 16 January 2013 (CST)

Awesome job Dreyakis, its getting exciting with each chapter release. however, in my personal opinion, i'm not that hyped about the story spanning over two volumes. In the previous arcs i felt the transition to the next volume didn't go over so well, hell i'm still lamenting about the enrollment arc. that being said the author did improve with the nine-schools arc. maybe the author will surprise us this time. great story anyways. share your thoughts. [[User:Keisanichi|Keisanichi]] ([[User talk:Keisanichi|talk]])

I had the feeling that he took his time with this chapter. But that is kinda good, because sometimes i get the bad feeling that he works to much for us and even then he is still so fast that you can by no means complain (still one of the fastest translators I seen till now) (not that we have a right to complain anyway).

hey just 1 question please dont feel offended , just wondering, that are you going to fully translate the whole series in future as per now ?
thanks (kakaroet)

If you read the FAQ section by Dreyakis at the top of this page (#5) you'll see the answer is yes. --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 08:59, 31 January 2013 (CST)

Please Dreyakis, update Chapter 7, where i live it's already 4th october ! I want to read it and it's killing me :p.(the end in '''Expressing Gratitude''')[[User:meintos|meintos]]

^Please don't start harassing him. He has no obligation to translate and has been doing a phenomenal job. Most people don't even post estimates on when they'll finish but he does to help us. We all want to read the chapter and we all are probably thinking the same as you but asking, putting pressure on, or otherwise demanding anything out of him doesn't help the process (it may even act as a demotivate). He's a real person and things come up. --[[User:Nuralataion|Nuralataion]] ([[User talk:Nuralataion|talk]]) 24:25, 16 January 2013 (CST)

Drey you are the King of translating, all hail the king!!!!!!!!--[[User:1fortis1|1fortis1]] ([[User talk:1fortis1|talk]]) 16:18, 20 January 2013 (CST)

over 200 pages in 4 days, who the heck is able to translate and type over 200 pages of text in 4 days? A god, that's who. Has it been made clear how awesome you are, Dreyakis? --[[User:PrairieEagle|PrairieEagle]] ([[User talk:PrairieEagle|talk]])

Just so you know, it wasn't 200 pages in 4 days (well, it's possible he did, but that's besides the point). The ###/### is the page he is currently on compared to the page the chapter ends. Still, his pace is quite quick, and yes, he clearly is quite awesome. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 14:14 22, January 2013 (CST)

:As Enigmatic surmised, I'm starting on page 220 out of 253, where the chapter ends. Trying to do 200 pages in 4 days would be pushing it even for me. I roughly put out 15 pages/day on most days, with a modest spike in production on my days off. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 23:08, 22 January 2013 (CST)

Indeed. It's difficult not to appreciate just how fast and capable both Drey and zzhk are. Even given a masterful command of both English and Chinese, there's a lot of cross-referencing that has to happen when you're not translating straight from the Japanese text. The fact that they're both efficient ''and'' consistent is just staggering. 
On a different note, Drey, judging from your language ability and the fact that you hail from the ever-glorious Cali, I'm guessing you're an ABC. How is it you managed such proficiency in both English and Chinese? --[[User:Hiyono|Hiyono]] ([[User talk:Hiyono|talk]]) 16:05, 22 January 2013 (CST)

:I am an ABC, but I spent two years in primary school in Taiwan. The rest just happened. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 22:41, 22 January 2013 (CST)

I think you should add Js06 to the list of one man army translators as well.

== Dreyakis will stop posting ETAs ==

Drey as ardent follower of your translation of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, your ETAs keep me and i most certainly think others as well from checking Baka-Tsuki every minute or hour, so please do reconsider your decision. P.S i have said this before about you but "all hail the translating king"--[[User:1fortis1|1fortis1]] ([[User talk:1fortis1|talk]]) 10:40, 4 February 2013 (CST)

I can imagine that putting in a ETA puts pressure on yourself, so I think getting rid of it is a good idea. But my opinion matters not, do whatever you want, that and thx for everything you've done so far. --[[User:Lenn|Lenn]] 11:24, 4 February 2013 (CST)

I'd have to say no matter what Drey chooses to do, he'll be somewhat screwed over. If he puts an ETA, fewer people will probably harass him about when he'll be finished, but if he's "late" for this "deadline," little pissants will show up again; however, if he decides to keep the ETA omitted, he'll probably just have all the other little peons messaging him or posting on this user talk about when the next chapter will be finished. As for the pressure, good god, I think the only pressure an ETA should put on him is not the time constraint but the inevitable knowledge that someone's going to bother him, whether it's there or not. --[[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticAxiom|talk]]) 14:03, 4 February 2013 (CST)
