MerrickXasis: /* Accel World */

Hi, feel free to fix my changes.

your comment is: ''not sure, so change''. Ermm, shouldn't it be the other way round --> when you're not sure, ask first? 'tuck in' means to eat up. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] 05:18, 27 July 2011 (UCT)

Sorry, when I read that it felt really strange, made me think that he's going to sleep. I checked some dictionary and can't find a tucked in that means eat up. Now that I checked tuck-in, it seems to be a British informal word, guess I never heard it before.--[[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] 08:13, 27 July 2011 (UCT)

Both actually, "Tuck in to bed"->Put the bedcovers on a person about to or already sleeping. "Tuck in Buddy"->Eat up buddy. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 04:23, 17 August 2011 (CDT)

== SAO ==

What volume 8? If you mean the Alicization Arc it is added. Everything already on the main page is added. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 23:48, 12 August 2011 (UCT)

Alright, I'll implement the changes... but before that, I need to know the page names of the chapters. After all I can't make proper changes without the proper data. It says:

*A Murder Case in the Area (13 parts)
*Calibur (6 parts)
*First Day (1 part)

How will each part be named? You have to tell me that for me to make the changes. Incomplete information renders errors. Update the main page then I will update the template. Untill then should I remove Side story #5 and Calibur SS links from the template? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 23:58, 12 August 2011 (UCT)

It seems as though you are unsure. I'll remove Side Story #5 and Calibur SS links from the template. Discuss and reach a decision. At that point I will add the links. That would be the best course of action. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:07, 13 August 2011 (UCT)

Any progress? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 03:27, 17 August 2011 (CDT)

I prefer the parts but I think rather than calling the combined forms chapters it would be better to call them stories (ie: story 1, story 2, etc). I can manage easily. On another note you might want to add a talk link to your signature like I did. Makes things faster. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 04:21, 17 August 2011 (CDT)

I have a favor to ask of you. Can you help work on SAO Volume 5 Chapters 6 and 7? The translation is kind of progressing slowly there and it's ''really'' been a major dose of suffering for us readers. You'd have to contact Teh Ping and get his permission. But I think he would agree, he's been asking others to help out there as far as I know. It's only 1 2/3 chapters. Please I beseech you. We've been stuck like that for a while now. It would really be appreciated. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 15:38, 14 February 2012 (CST)

Well I do understand. The delay can't be helped. Just Chapter 6 would be good. Honestly any progress is better than none. If Desodus is working on c7 then that's good news for me. Oh, and I'd like to offer my services to revamp your AVW Nav into one like mine. Only if you feel like it though. Feel free to ask whenever you're ready. In webpage navigation there is a saying: "Less clicks the better." Meaning the lesser the number of page loads during navigation the better and more user friendly the site becomes, popularity is also affected. So please consider my offer. Thanks. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 05:03, 15 February 2012 (CST)

On a side note: adding new cells into tables using '''if then''' functions is good for up to three cells after that problems occur but maybe your code is fundamentally different. I used a sub-template to add the new cells. Maybe that's why...? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 05:06, 15 February 2012 (CST)

Umm. Ahem. Aaaah. I think I should make changes to make it look like mine. Can I? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:47, 15 February 2012 (CST)

If you would allow me I can make sure that it looks more attractive as well as more user friendly (ie: anyone can understand and use properly). [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:54, 15 February 2012 (CST)

In that case I'll make some minor adjustments. If you don't like them you can choose what to remove and what to keep. Basically what I will be changing is the colorings as well as the template's text alignments as well as the alignment of the whole template to the center of the page (more balanced and professional that way). I've made the changes. It looks complex at first glance but it's actually very easy to understand and modify. You can use [[Help:Color]] to make any changes to the colors. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 08:41, 16 February 2012 (CST)

That's cool with me. Anyways, if you ever need any more help just feel free to ask. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 18:57, 16 February 2012 (CST)

== Accel World ==

Was wondering if it is ok for me to begin uploading the illustrations for the remaining volumes of Accel World. Will not start until I get the ok from you.--[[User:Ff7 freak|Ff7 freak]] 02:44, 17 January 2012 (CST)

Will follow your naming conventions for the images.Should begin uploading the images in the next few days. Appriciate all of your work --[[User:Ff7 freak|Ff7 freak]] 05:44, 17 January 2012 (CST)

I want to report you that every instances of 'even though' in volume 1 & 2 were typo to 'even thought'. Thank you very much for your translations --[[User:BeginnerXP|BeginnerXP]]

Thanks. I've fixed it. Please check: [[Accel_World:Volume_10_Chapter_3]]. The problem was that each '''if then''' function was on a newline. Putting them all in the same line eliminated the problem at the cost of the code becoming just a little harder to understand. But I believe that to be an acceptable price. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 05:48, 14 February 2012 (CST)

I told you. At first each '''if then''' function was on a ''separate'' line (meaning after each function ended I pressed enter and then wrote on the next line). That was what caused the problem. I corrected it by putting all the '''if then''' functions on the ''same'' line. But the downside is that the brackets in the code will now make the code even harder to understand (ie: as you said it will make people dizzy). Anyways it's fixed, and that's all that matters. Feel free to ask for my help whenever you want. Don't hold back. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 15:23, 14 February 2012 (CST)

Quick question: was there some particular reason you decided to skip the latter portion of Volume 1 and skip directly to Volume 2? Anyways, thanks for completing volume 2. [[User:MerrickXasis|MerrickXasis]] 22:51, 24 February 2012 (CST)

It awesome that your doing "To Aru Majutsu No Index", it doesn't matter if your a slacker.
i can't wait to see the translation you do on volume 7 and other if you are/ thanks!!

== To Teh Ping ==
From: mark1246

by any chance, once your done with volume. 7, are you doing volume 9 next

=== From Teh Ping===
Well, I'll prefer to do it on a request by request basis. So, since you asked, I will most probably be doing 9 after 7.

===Want to make sure I said===
that you're awesome. Thank you!
--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 01:11, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

i concur that you are awesome, even though im prob just a random ip address

== You're awesome ==

Thanks man for translating Index. I really am grateful. I wish I could do something for you.

From: Mark1246
Date: 3/21/2010

I know it a little late but, Congratulation '''Teh PIng''' on completing volume of 7 and know doing volume 9 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index'''. your really fast at translating and posting each chapter everyday, I enjoyed reading your work and thank you so much for doing this (I always like saying nice complements to people it polite). Me and all my friends who go on bakatsuki.com want to say thank very much for doing this! Spring break comes next week, hoped you have a great vocation, you deserved it. Oh and season 2 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index''' comes this October, Hooray

'''P.S. can you please reply to this message or my home page so I know that you got the message, thank you'''

I got the message. No problems.~ Teh Ping

== Good luck in the Army ==

It'll problaly drain a lot of your energy, but I think once you get pass it, you feel a little bit better about yourself too.

Thanks for your hard work. I'll hope to see update sometime.

Good luck! --[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 19:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

So you are still a active translator for this series right? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 07:49, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

===From Teh Ping===
As of now, yes.

===To Teh Ping===
Its nice that you will do that, but please dont wear yourself out. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 19:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

===To Teh Ping===
Regarding a note on Toaru volume 11, Jesus didn't carry the Cross by Himself (the whole way anyway). The legend referenced isn't really a legend as it is on the Bible. I could have edited it out, but figured I might as well correct your error. Thanks for the translation btw.

== To Teh Ping ==

Great job for your work on the Index!!! To see how most of the translated volume were done by you alone... Wow, it's simply... Awesome!!!

Oh, by the way, can I ask where you get the untranslated version (or whatever version you translate it from)? Since I'm thinking to try to translate the 2nd volume...

===From Teh Ping===

Well, I'm currently using the original books as reference. But before that, I was translating from Chinese versions online:

2 options here:
http://book.sky-fire.com/Novel/2729/MainIndex/

http://novel.emland.net/html/M/20090904/mofajinshumulu/index.html (Not very accurate at times, but the text is larger and easier to read)

I wouldn't advise you to translate using softwares like google translate though, since it's really hard to understand all the weird grammar (not to mention that the softwares sometimes translate the words literally or try to verbalise it). However, if you want to start working on it, then good luck, and welcome aboard the team.

--09:00, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Teh Ping

===To Teh Ping===

Thanks, I'll check it out later
And, yeah, I must agree about the google part...
Now, just need to search for a n editor...

--11:00, 10 September 2010 Thrice.Holder

If the translations were understandable you could have just added them to the wiki - here would have been enough editors to work on it over time (since every reader here is also a potential editor ;) --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 09:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I honestly hope that he/she's still around, but you're 3 months too late.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 09:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I know, but I asked also already at 5th November on the users talk page regarding that, so since I dont know where the user is looking first if he/she returns I thought I ask here too. ;) I thought your answer at the main projects talk page were good so I didnt thought that I should react earlier too ;) --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 10:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

== Nice Translations! Keep up the good work! ==

Hi Teh Ping.

I just wanna tell you that I like your translations and it seems that you are about to finish Volume 11. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

Erm, thanks.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 08:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Which volume are you going to translate next?

== To Teh Ping ==
From: mark1246

Dear teh ping:

Date 10/31/2010

It halloween and tonight trick-or-treating for free candy across the door. well it going to be a busy night tonight. A few thing i want to say.

1. Sorry for the inconvenience with this

[FOR THE 535TH TIME!!!
I DIDN'T CHOOSE WHAT VOLUMES TO BE COVERED BASED ON WHETHER I LIKED IT OR NOT!!
The plan was to go through season 2's volumes, from volume 7 onwards. A user called Mark1246 requested for volume 9 to be translated when I first started off with 7, so after I did 7, I jumped to 9, then 10 because 9 and 10 are related. After which, I went back to 8 because it wasn't complete. So stop going about with this "You hate Kuroko", "You like nuns" and whatsoever]

I didn't want to cause problem for you about that and im sorry for those people for bothering you.

2. The newest season of to aru majutsu 2 is great so far. im impressed with the graphic and fighting animation. there were some i quite didn't understand unless i read the novel, so thank you for translating the novel, because with out you, there would be so many unanswered question in my head.

Happy Halloween :):D

1) Nah, no problem. I'm trying to make things clear here.

2) As for novels, I'm planning to finish up Vol 1 Chp 1 of the series first, since I started on it, but there's a slight problem--I just got transferred to another branch in Army, and they're using Windows XP Version 1. This means no Chinese or Japanese, and means that I have to adjust my schedule to one update per week on each series. --[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 09:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== To Teh Ping ==

Sorry about changing the British English in volume 16. However, it seems inconsistent throughout the translations. For example, Volume 8 has both 'color' and 'colour' (not that I noticed while reading). Is there going to be any consensus, or is it just personal choice? Does just need to be consistent within a [section|chapter|volume]? --CarVac

Well, I always keep my spelling as British, so most likely, someone changed it. I have a task for the editors, and that's to change them to British.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 14:10, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== To Teh Ping ==

First off, I'd like to thank you for all of your hard work translating To Aru Majutsu no Index. I was rather sad after the anime concluded because it seemed to end so abruptly, so I was thrilled to find that translations for the story afterwards were available online. My main point in writing, however, is that I've noticed that you've also put work into translating parts of volume 16, 21, and 22. It should go without saying that all of your hard work is appreciated, but I would assume that many people (myself included) haven't read these because we wish to read the story in order. Thus, I would think it wise to work on SS1 or volume 14 next, as they're next in order. Again, it goes without saying that what you do with your own time and work is your own business, so feel free to ignore the suggestion of one anonymous reader, but I'd think it to be a bit sad that you put so much hard work into translations that few people will read only because of the order. -Anonymous fan

eh, looks like 2nd anime will cover vol 14. do whatever you'd prefer. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 18:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, not so sure about this but.. I've read on some jap. website that the whole 2nd season will cover until Vol. 13. Anyways, thank you for your amazing and wonderful translation work. We TaMnI fans are truly looking up to you. Thank you very much, good luck and more power to you. -Anonymous fan # 2

Ah-- was basing on episode count: 4 volumes first half -> 4 volumes second half. either way there are a bunch of translators, so he should translate whatever volumes he feels like. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 01:24, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, like I said, he can translate whatever he feels like. It's not like I'm going to break through the door with a shotgun pointed at his head until he does those ones. I'm just pointing out that many people will likely not read what he does unless they've been able to read up to that point, and SS1 & 14 are next. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but I can only base my theories off of my own preferences. For the sake of my own curiosity, have you read the later translations without seeing what comes in between, Saganatsu? -Anonymous fan

P.S. As AF #2 said, I really do appreciate and look up to you, Teh Ping. There's really nothing I could say to adequately express my gratitude.

----

To Anonymous Fan: Several things you need to realize.

1) I recommend reading "[[Talk:To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index#What_the_shit|the Talk Page for the series]]" before continuing to reply. As Teh_Ping has previously said IN THIS PAGE as well, he does chapters by request. Realize that you are NOT the first one asking him to do chapters in order and probably not the last either.

2) There is a [[To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index:Registration_Page||Registration Page]] page for each series on Baka-Tsuki. Before requesting something, you might want to check to see if someone else is already trying to translate some of it already. You're being pretty rude to the other translator otherwise.

3) Considering his previous responses, trying to guilt trip Teh_Ping into doing the series in order is just going to piss him off to some degree. If you want him to do the next chapters in sequence, just request those chapters after checking the Registration page and making sure someone else isn't working on them. Different people work at different paces, and there are valid reasons to do different chapters out of sequence.

4) The "it's common sense" approach is condescending and insulting when you start out with it, no matter how much you sugarcoat it or how much you try to make it subtle. You would be wasting significantly less time just simply asking why he is doing them out of sequence FIRST before trying to even step down that route.
[[User:Rava|Rava]] 11:19, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

1) I wasn't even aware that page existed, though clearly I am now. However, if he does chapters by request, then this could be considered my request, no?

2) I have checked the registration page, and I see no problems. Volume 14, chapter 1 is registered to someone else, but all other chapters in these two volumes are either completed or have no translators.

3) I'm not trying to "guilt trip" him into anything. I have no idea where you got that idea. I can see why that would be infuriating, but I can't see anywhere in my previous posts where I attempted to "guilt trip" him into doing what I wanted. Also, I don't know of any way to request that he do the next chapters except for coming on to his talk page and saying "please do these next," with or without my reasoning behind that request. And again, I did check the registration page and see no problems.

4) The last thing I'm trying to do is be "condescending and insulting," and I apologize if it came across that way. I honestly have no idea what you mean by "sugarcoat it" and "try to make it subtle." I'm making a request that makes perfect sense in my mind, nothing more. As for asking why, well, I just didn't think of it.

I'm only trying to state my request. I'm not trying to "guilt trip," "sugarcoat," "try to make it subtle" (make ''what'' subtle?), and definitely not be "condescending and insulting." I believe you to be acting with excessive agression over my request, whether or not you agree with it. My request makes sense to me, and it's what I would like to read next. That's it. Now, allow me to ask you the same question; it's not rhetorical, I honestly wish to know. Have you read the translations beyond volume 13? -Now-Slightly-Less-Than-Anonymous fan

To Now-Slightly-Less-Than-Anonymous fan:

1. Read the "What the shit" section in the Talk page. It is a variation of your request--only in ruder form. It also came first. Then read through the rest of the topics.

2. No, it's not OK to ask someone else to interrupt another active or semi-active translator's volume just because you want to read it sooner. People can take months UNPAID translating a volume but still get them done. (Joay is a very good example.) People had to get their hands on the scripts for the volumes, which USUALLY includes buying the book. Js06 is already translating volume 14 and actually working at a fast pace considering he is registered on Chapters 1, 2 as COMPLETED and starting on 3. Asking someone else to jump in on 14 right now is pointless and insulting. SS1 has been picked up by Joay because Twi was finally moved to inactive, which takes a very long time to happen. Asking someone else to jump in on SS1 right now is pointless and insulting.

3 & 4.

"First off, I'd like to thank you for all of your hard work translating To Aru Majutsu no Index."

This is praise, a.k.a. the sugar in the "sugar-coating" term.

"I was rather sad after the anime concluded because it seemed to end so abruptly, so I was thrilled to find that translations for the story afterwards were available online."

Statement of your opinion.

"My main point in writing, however, is that I've noticed that you've also put work into translating parts of volume 16, 21, and 22."
Statement of fact with a little praise.

"It should go without saying that all of your hard work is appreciated, but I would assume that many people (myself included) haven't read these because we wish to read the story in order."

Even more praise, followed by an "I would assume" line. "I would assume" is commonly used in insults by insinuating that if the responder does not have the common sense to realize whatever is being stated, they are (stupid/mentally deficient/insert insult of choice). For example:

I would assume you know how to turn off a light.

I would assume the sky is blue.

I would assume you can count to three.

I would assume everyone leaves work at five.

It makes no difference if you think it is all right and use it in your everyday speech. The fact is that "I would assume" phrases coupled with your next line when no one has actually asked for your opinion is a subtle type of insult.

"Thus, I would think it wise to work on SS1 or volume 14 next, as they're next in order."

"I would think" here makes the assumption that you are smarter than the reader and that you are right. This is condescending because no one has asked for your specific opinion. This coupled with your previous line makes them an insult or even a threat by implying that if Teh_Ping was smart, he would translate what you suggest next.

"Again, it goes without saying that what you do with your own time and work is your own business, so feel free to ignore the suggestion of one anonymous reader, but I'd think it to be a bit sad that you put so much hard work into translations that few people will read only because of the order." -Anonymous fan
A "I think" phrase being used like the "I would think" phrase from earlier, implying that Teh_Ping is wasting his time and work on a chapter JUST because he did it out of order. This is an example of an opinion that you should be keeping to yourself and not writing or speaking out to someone because it is insulting.

Bottom line: You are wasting time being defensive with the wrong person about your request asking another person the wrong way to work on the volumes you want to read that are already in progress by other people. Instead of wasting more time responding, go read the chapters that were released or try talking to the people actually translating them if you are done reading them. There's more than one translator doing translations for this very series, and it's not helpful to try to pile up all the work on just one.
[[User:Rava|Rava]] 06:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

1. Now I have. I still fail to see the harm in another person asking.

2. When I wrote my previous post, Volume 14 had the prologue and chapter 2 completed, with Js06 listed for chapter 1. Since then, chapter 2 has been completed and he's moved on to chapter 3. Nonetheless, the rules say that you should register which ''chapters'' you're working on, not which ''novels''. Thus, my statement that there were no translators for chapters 3 and up was not groundless. As for SS1, the prologue and chapter 1 are registered to Joay, but are complete. He doesn't have any chapters in SS1 listed as a work-in-progress, so the assumption and potential truth that he's not working on SS1 also has footing. In other words, I wasn't asking him to interrupt anything. With volume 14, this can be called a misunderstanding of sorts. With SS1, however, I've done nothing wrong, unintentional or otherwise.

3. What you call "sugar" I call being polite and telling the truth. Whatever you want to call it, I do honestly appreciate his work and am saying so. Could it potentially help me convince him to do the novels I request? Yes. So what? That's not why I wrote it, and you can tell from his previous posts (and the fact that he can speak two completely different languages with enough fluency to translate them) that he wouldn't be sucked into that kind of thing even if it was.

As for "I would assume" being used in insults, so is everything when you're being sarcastic.

Examples:
You're polite.
[Insert food here] is really good.
I love [Insert anything here].

Any of these could be stated normally and thus be a positive statement. They could also be stated with sarcasm to make them negative statements. When I said "I would assume", I was being neither but rather stating what I ''would assume''. I know, weird right? It seems that you took this to be a negative, sarcastic phrase, but it wasn't. Therefore, I'm not implying any such thing.

Furthermore, no one has to ask for my opinion. It's the internet, I'll give my opinion if I feel like it. What is the internet but a sea of opinions? Besides, he ''is'' asking for the opinions of his readers on what his next project should be. I'm saying what my opinion on this matter is (fulfilling this request), and explaining my reasoning.

As for how "I would think" could imply that I feel myself to be smarter than the other person, you've lost me.

I didn't imply that Teh_Ping was wasting his time; I'm sure there are some people that don't care about the sequence enough to wait. What I ''am'' saying is that his work would go farther if he translated the novels in between as well. This is not insulting, this is my reasoning. And again, no one has to ask for my opinion if I feel like giving it. If he disagrees, he can just ignore me.

My bottom line:
It's a request. Not a demand. Not an insult. I can tell from your arguments that you're an intelligent person (mstly bcuz u dnt tak lke ths), but I think you're reading too much into this. It requires intelligence to peel away the layers of a statement, and that's what you believe yourself to be doing, correct? However, you can't peel away layers that were never put in place to begin with. You have to peel away the layers of an onion to get to the good part, but sometimes a peeled onion looks as if it's unpeeled. You won't accomplish anything good by continuing to peel it, as you already have the good part right there on the surface. -No-Longer-Anonymous-User ([[User:Turtleman579|Turtleman579]])

P.S. If you're going to continue this argument (which I assume you are), might I suggest moving it to my (new! yay!) talk page instead of clogging up Teh_Ping's? ''I would think'' that he might not like such extensive arguments taking up half his page, though that's just my ''opinion''. Sorry, couldn't help it. Seriously though, we should move.

== To Teh Ping ==

First off, thank-you for all your hard work. If it weren't for you, and the other translators contributing to this wiki of course, I wouldn't have been able to read such a great series. On to my question though. It looks like Volume 16 is close to being finished, what volume are you going to move on to next? If you haven't already decided could you possibly finish off SS 1? I got stuck into the first chapter and now I want to know what happens next ;_;

Heya! I saw that last week? there's a poll in Toaru wikia, wondering if you're the one who'll translate it.. Anyway, if I can post a request here... my request is for Vol. 14 to be translated, since a new translator has joined the wikia(Js06) and is working on Vol. 14, why don't work together to translate the volume easier?(Oh, don't worry I've checked the registration page and he's working on Ch. 1) because I just noticed that you're very fast at translating(based on Vol. 16), why won't take a relaxed pace of translating? I thought maybe you're pushing yourself too hard since you're in the army and all(saw it on your previous User page).. I know what it's like in the army, I can say that training is a very serious one.. Anyhow, if my request is declined maybe, I'll try again next time. More power to you guys and thank you very much. ~Anonymous fan # 2

Thanks. The thing is, I'm thinking of making the chapter pages into the subpages of the volume page so "IS:Volume1 Chapter1" would become "IS:Volume1/Chapter1". Doing this should automatically create a backlink to the volume page at the top of the chapter page. Well... it would do so in a normal wiki. But I'm not sure that would happen here. So I'm gonna try it with one of the pages... if it works I'll do the same to the rest but if it doesn't then can you revert the move I made. Since I can't delete the newly made page but you can.

== To Aru Majutsu no Index edits ==

I hope that I'm not being a bother by asking so much on the Talk Pages of the To Aru Majutsu No Index light novels. I really enjoy the series, so I'd like to help where I can with the English while maintaining accuracy to the source material. While I am alright with editing English, my Japanese is really quite bad, so I can't confirm the accuracy of my edits on my own very well.

Thank you for your help on this!

you made an edit that added ~160000 characters to Shakugan no Shana Volume 7, Chapter 2, and marked it minor. As it appears that many lines are duplicated, could you confirm that the characters are stuck in a time loop or something, and we don't just have the chapter inserted twice?

== TaMnI volume 4 chapter1 ==

Teh Ping: you deregistered from volume 6, apparently to focus on NT volume 1: as you have updated volume 6 more recently than volume 4, I have to ask if you have any plans to work on volume 4 at this time, or have you decided to work solely on NT 1? If you don't have any plans, would it be problematic if volume 4 was opened up to new translators as well? --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 21:00, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

Nah, my plan is to continue to make occasional updates to Volume 4 chapter 1, so as to keep it 'alive' since there are no other translators around. If anyone wants to work on it, they can tell me and I'll hand it over to them.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 06:43, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

== To Teh Ping ==

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I wanted to thank you for all of the translating that you have been doing so far. Reading these light novels have been a real treat and I just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated.

== Punctuation ==

The types of punctuation used formally were: …‘’“” (You might need to see in editing mode to get the difference). I used the characters ... and ' and " to replace them. The thing is, that every type of character has an id set to it in the form of a combination of bits (01010101). This is done because bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc, is how data is stored. In other words " does not equal “ or ” in the storing language. However in English they would mean the same thing. " occurs earlier in the storage character table than “ or ” therefore it has a smaller id. Thus space can be saved by using it. My advice is to either stop using MSWord and use WordPad or TextPad editor. OR... first write in MSWord then take it to TextPad and then use the find and replace functions to switch the above characters. You can also use FoxReplace addon if you are using Firefox but that's just a little more complex in initializing the settings but the result is that the replacement process becomes fully automated (It's a major pain if you make a mistake though, if you don't exclude pages you need to, then the replacement could affect something you did not wish it to). The final way is to use this site's own search and replace function. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UCT)

One more thing. I've noticed that stuttering words have been separated by commas. Example: "Do, don't think I was doing it for you okay?" The thing is that normally in English writing stuttering words are separated by the use of hyphens(-) lets take the example above. It should have been: "Do-Don't think I was doing it for you okay?" See the difference in the Don't(s). Just thought I should let you know. Was I helpful? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UCT)

...Well, I guess it would be troublesome. I'm using MSWord right now to eliminate as many typos as I can, and I have no idea how much space does this website have. Will keep this in mind, definitely, but I don't know if I can get myself to work that extra bit though.

As for stuttering, I just followed how it's normally given instead of just following how the English do it. Thanks for your input.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 02:16, 30 May 2011 (UCT)

Either hyphens(-) for short(quick) stutters or three dots(...) for long pause between stutters is what I learned. If there is anything else just let me know. I'll be willing to help. Personally, my method is the FoxReplace one. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 15:58, 3 June 2011 (UCT)

==Question==
Does quiting the project mean you are not going to translate anymore novels for good or are you going to translate the new novels when they come out?

===Reply===

First, it's a 'maybe'. I may quit this project. Secondly, 'For good' or 'when the new volume comes out' or 'continue to work on the SS', I don't know yet. Too many commitments right now.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 01:41, 6 July 2011 (UCT)

== Question on IS ==

Could you possibly TL Check Vol 6?

Well, we have plenty of proofreaders out there, and the Black Reaper's translating from Japanese, so there shouldn't be any problems. If you want readability, there are editors who will help out (and if there aren't, I'll get them.)--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 05:24, 10 July 2011 (UCT)

==About Index pages lock==
As far I know there are page which needs to be correct and even needs a check, after that will be possible to do any other fix?--[[User:Wilfriback|Wilfriback]] 21:15, 11 July 2011 (UCT)

I can do any edits, but you have to notify me here on the talk page--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 23:51, 11 July 2011 (UCT)

Er... I'm curious about the reasoning behind this: it creates a bottle neck, both slowing down how quickly typos can get fixed, discouraging editors from editing, and effectively stopping any major edits (some of the work, especially the machine translated stuff needs). I haven't really noticed a vandalism or even unwise editing problem. Additionally, there are only 21 sysops, many of which are no longer active. Why is this preferable to preventing unregistered users from editing it. By the time a user registers, they likely know enough about the site to not make misguided edits? --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 04:13, 12 July 2011 (UCT)

1. Force the editors to work faster (mostly on the fly editings, which is what I also want the people marathoning through the series to do as well).

2. Make sure there's no need for further revisions so that CarJ and other .pdf makers can stop rolling out new 'virus definitions'.

3. Make sure there's no changing of the format. Some people may still ignore/forget to see the notice on the main page and put in things like 'realize' instead of 'realise', or even unnecessary changes that will affect the structure.

Right now, I'm doing this on the belief that the translated text is coherent enough for the average reader to understand. I haven't been getting any feedback nowadays regarding translation issues (other than one or two trolls here and there, except for the notice by Kadi regarding Vol 21 War Report 2, which I felt was warranted).

As for sysops, ain't I one? Just send it to me and I will make the necessary edits.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 05:18, 12 July 2011 (UCT)

Thank you, this makes sense now. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 05:29, 12 July 2011 (UCT)

It seems like it'll be for all edits unless you have greater-than-normal user rights. Or something. Either way, I won't be able to edit. And I won't be able to put all of volume 12 into past tense in one more day. [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 21:58, 13 July 2011 (UCT)

How many days do you need?--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 00:33, 14 July 2011 (UCT)

Personally, I'll need around 5 days per volume, especially since I will be getting busier soon. However, it may be better if you locked more recent translations sooner, because they generally need less tense-change and rewording work than the earliest ones. [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 01:00, 14 July 2011 (UCT)

==Well, there'll be another time==

I'll like to thank the readers for supporting our project on Toaru Majutsu no Index, and forgive me for any shortcomings I had during the time here. Js06, thanks you for helping me out through these past 7 months, and I'm sorry for whatever problems I may have caused you during this time. I'll also like to thank God for giving me assistance in the form of js06 after I prayed for someone to lift my workload, as I was struggling really badly at that time with work. Tact, Enigma, Kuroi Hadou, Hiro Hayase, Snorca, CarVac and all those who helped to edit and proofread. Nera Sleith and Joay for helping to lay the foundations of this project.

As you guys can imply from this, I won't be translating on this project. Js06 will still be around, so that's not really a dropoff, but let me discuss about the 2 reasons why I decided to leave Index.

2) I wanted to work on something else. When Shana was shut down, I went over to translate Index with the intent of going back to Shana once it was reinstated. Now that it is, and with Index's (mostly) completed, and with the other project commitments, I decided to work on something else for a change. Baka Test and Infinite Stratos will be my main projects, and Shana will be a side (I mean, just look at how hard it is...). Right now, I'm planning on working on another light novel series (marked under ??? on my main page), but I would prefer to work with a fansub group or grouping to make things easier for me, since up till now, I've been working alone. Please talk to me regarding this.

1) You know, I may come off as extremely antagonistic/narcissistic at times (or all the time), so my apologies to all (words are cheap, I know...), but this would be rather antagonistic for me, and can be considered the main reason why I decided to quit the project. Basically, what happened is that when I first mentioned that I may be quitting Index, while most of you were understanding enough/reluctant/I don't know (I thank you all anyway), there are about 12 emails sent to me. '''These were death threats telling me not to stop translating Index.''' Naturally, I didn't respond, so now, this would be my response, which is why ''I will never, ever, translate the Index stories again'' (I will do the illustrations' translations, and I will still keep my power as supervisor because I know there's going to be more problems if I don't stay behind. But right now, I'm ready to move on already. With Js06 manning the fort, I can leave the translations work alone knowing that it's in safe hands.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 09:56, 28 August 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for your hard work. It's a pity that you won't translate Index, but it's your choice. Good luck, do your best. Er, my English is still bad so I can't write my thoughts properly... Well, whatever, I'd like to read your translations of another projects.

Thank you kindly for the time and effort you've set aside for the Index section here. In exchange for giving me greater access to one of my favorite series, I'll be backing you up in your other endeavors when I have the time, even though my efforts as proofreader will always be worth only a fraction of translators' work. As for those death threats, just look at them as fans that are quite devoted to the series (if somewhat mental)... --[[User:Tactician J|Tact]] 10:39, 28 August 2011 (CDT)

Thank you for your efforts in translating Index! I was able to fully enjoy the great story thanks to the combined effort of you and many other people.

==Story Synopsis==

''Toaru Majutsu no Index'' is set in Academy City, a technologically advanced academic city located at western Tokyo, which studies scientifically enhanced superhuman students who developed powers, known as ESPers. However, within this world of scientifically developed superabilities, there exists an underground world of magic and occults connected to the religious institutions of the planet. Kamijou Touma, an unlucky boy who happens to be one of the many students within Academy City, possess a mysterious power in his right hand known as the "Imagine Breaker", an ability which allows him to negate all forms of supernatural powers, whether they be magical or psychic. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_england Church of England], and her mind has been implanted with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Index Librorum Prohibitorum]—103,000 forbidden magical books the Church has removed from circulation. His encounter with her leads him to meet others from the secret world of science and magic.

Touma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts relating magicians and science-based espers in Academy City.

==The Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament series==
[[Image:NT To Aru Majutsu no Index cover.jpg|200px|thumb|NT Volume 01 cover.]]
'''Synopsis:''' The Third World War that final member of the Roman Catholic Church's secret organization God's Right Seat Fiamma sparked from Russia has been ended by the efforts of Kamijou Touma. With that, he vanished. This is a world where Kamijou Touma does not exist. With the Magic Side regrouping, the Sabbath for their followers has arrived.

In the headquarters of the Science Side, Academy City, the strongest Level 5 Esper Accelerator has washed his hands of the "Darkness". Along with Last Order and Misaka Worst, he passes both noisy and gentle, calm days. There is no sign of GROUP.

Skill-Out's Level 0 Hamazura Shiage, with the negotiating materials he acquired in Russia that pertain to the Darkness, has returned and formed the new ITEM with Kinuhata, Takitsubo, and Mugino and began their operations. Peace has come to the hands of the alumni of the city's Dark Side at last.

However, a new evil "Freshman" appears before them.

==[[To Aru Majutsu no Index:Volume1 Chapter 4]]‎==

I thought that at the second to forth guess to, but I thought also that it do look as if it were already more than 6% ;). Also take your time its already nice to know that there is (still) someone who is interested to translate something more --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 14:43, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

For now though, sorry. ~MerrickXasis

Wondering if you are going to finish up Volume 1 Chapter 4. I'm planning to translate the rest of Volume 1 in one clean sweep, but if you want to continue with Chapter 4, I'm fine with that. ----[[User:Kwei|Kwei]] 09:32, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

So you wont finish the registered chapter? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 04:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I just did another update, but forgot to log in (Fail). 
It's intersession, and that means I get some time off from school.
My grandmother also got adjusted to her chemo treatment, so I should be up and ready to translate now. XD
~MerrickXasis

Good to hear - best wishes! --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 19:46, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Finally a break from school is coming up!
I'll translate as soon as SATs and AP stuff is finished (a few more days?)

MerrickXasis: /* would it be possible to implement semi-protection on this page? */

Thanks for your initial work, I remember reading it and was really disappointed when I got the end, and realised this wasn't touched for a loooong time.

Thanks for inspiring me to jump into Wikipedia to sort out the Haruhi anime/manga/novel page.

Salutation, comrade!
May Haruhi Suzumiya bless you!

:

[[User:Onizuka-gto|Onizuka-gto]] 10:17, 16 April 2006 (PDT)

Not to be too eager to claim credit, since I haven't done that much, yet -- but might I suggest that at least some of the other contributing translators/proofreaders are credited on the front page of the Suzumiya Haruhi project pages? --[[User:Freak Of Nature|Freak Of Nature]] 08:04, 20 April 2006 (PDT)

== April fool? ==
So that I can't visit this website on yesterday is a lie. Right? ^^" [[User:118.172.49.162|118.172.49.162]] 06:05, 2 April 2008 (PDT)

== Oops!! ==

On the left side bar, we have Ginban Kaleidoscope before Ghost Hunt! It should be the other way around! could someone fix this (I don't think I can, and if could, I wouldn't know how).

PS. While were working with the sidebar, should Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria be put up? we have over a volume, and don't seem to be missing anything.

== Needs Deletion ==

Could someone delete this page:[[Shakugan_no_Shana:Volume6_Chapter1_~Preview~|Shakugan no Shana:Volume6 Chapter1 ~Preview~]]. We seem to have deleted the rest of Shakugan, it's sloppy to leave a random page lying around.

Oh and this page too: [[Shakugan_no_Shana:Volume7_Chapter1_Initiation|Shakugan no Shana:Volume7 Chapter1 Initiation]]

Here's a third [[Zero_no_Tsukaima:Registration|Zero no Tsukaima:Registration]] (this is different from [[Zero_no_Tsukaima_Registration|Zero no Tsukaima Registration]], which is what everything links to)

Here's a whole set of images, some of which should be deleted (primarily those from s&w, and sh) [[Special:UnusedImages]]

== Out of Curiosity ==

I wonder how many (non-bot) people have tried to contact Thelastguardian at "thelastguardian@hotmailNOSPAM.comNOSPAM"

My guess is none. However, a few have probably tried to contact him/her at "thelastguardian@hotmailNOSPAM.com"
Copy and paste is really convenient, most of the time...

== would it be possible to implement semi-protection on this page? ==

It would prevent all the random spam from getting on without an account. Or are there reasons to not do so, technical or otherwise?

I'm also thinking that this would be a great idea. I had enough of tromadol addiction or something like that.

I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for sharing.

==Story Synopsis==

''To Aru Majutsu no Index'' is set in Academy City, a technologically advanced academic city located at western Tokyo, which studies scientifically enhanced superhuman students who developed powers, known as ESPers. However, within this world of scientifically developed superabilities, there exists an underground world of magic and occults connected to the religious institutions of the planet. Kamijou Touma, an unlucky boy who happens to be one of the many students within Academy City, possess a mysterious power in his right hand known as the "Imagine Breaker", an ability which allows him to negate all forms of supernatural powers, whether they be magical or psychic. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_england Church of England], and her mind has been implanted with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Index Librorum Prohibitorum]—103,000 forbidden magical books the Church has removed from circulation. His encounter with her leads him to meet others from the secret world of science and magic.

Touma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts relating magicians and science-based espers in Academy City. As Touma tries to help and protect his friends, he learns the people he knows are not as they appear and begins to attract the attention of magicians and espers alike as they try to unravel the secrets of Academy City and Index.

Filling this place so my name isn't tagged red. 
Basically, the same reason as many others.

I make small edits for grammar and spelling when I see anything unusual.
Currently, really busy since my grandmother is doing chemo and I'm taking care of her. She's fine, but I'll probably have no time to do any translations.

==Story Synopsis==

''To Aru Majutsu no Index'' is set in Academy City, a technologically advanced academic city located at western Tokyo, which studies scientifically enhanced superhuman students who developed powers, known as ESPers. However, within this world of scientifically developed superabilities, there exists an underground world of magic and occults connected to the religious institutions of the planet. Kamijou Touma, an unlucky boy who happens to be one of the many students within Academy City, possess a mysterious power in his right hand known as the "Imagine Breaker", an ability which allows him to negate all forms of supernatural powers, whether they be magical or psychic. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_england Church of England], and her mind has been implanted with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Index Librorum Prohibitorum]—103,000 forbidden magical books the Church has removed from circulation. His encounter with her leads him to meet others from the secret world of science and magic.

Touma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts relating magicians and science-based espers in Academy City. As Touma tries to help and protect his friends, he learns the people he knows are not as they appear and begins to attract the attention of magicians and espers alike as they try to unravel the secrets of Academy City and Index.

==About Me==

Translator for To Aru Majutsu no Index series. I'm likely to only work on the earlier novels. Japanese->English

===Thanks===

Just wanted to hop in and say thanks for picking up the novels, you've been really speedy with your updates of vol 1 chapter 2. I'm glad you decided to start translating the older novels, as a lot of people were interested in seeing what was cut by J.C.Staff in the anime. Hope you don't burn out and keep up the good work! ---- [[User:Suzuku|Suzuku]] 19:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Always glad to see people people interested in reading. Makes translation feels less tiresome. ----[[User:Kwei|Kwei]] 02:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you there. Thanks for doing up the earlier novels. Would you mind if I leave the rest of Volume 1 (except chapter 1, and I'm not sure about chapter 4)to you and work back down from Volume 6?--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 13:37, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's okay with me. I was planning to do all of Volume 1 anyways. ----[[User:Kwei|Kwei]] 09:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

====Volume 1 Chapter 4====
Sorry guys. It's been somewhat rough on this end because my grandmother seemed to have a malignant tumor in her ovaries. 
She finally got her surgery, and she's now recovering. 
It's a good thing the doctor found out early, but we're not all that sure if the tumor spread or not. However, she's gotten much better, which is a good sign. 
I'm sure many people here would rather see some new development down at Volumes ~14-15, rather than a rehash of Volume 1 which they know already. 
In any case, I'll pick up V1C4 sometime over Thanksgiving. Please leave it to me (for now). — [[User:MerrickXasis|MerrickXasis]] 22 November 2010

i have not the time to work on this, but anyone who likes this with even the smallest amount of time on their hands, PM me, and i'll give: the link to a site with everything translated, a series of videos for the entire game, and a torrent of the game; which should be MORE than plenty to get all of the information to complete this entire Visual novel.

sry for the double post. i also, having just joined, don't know how to delete a post.

MerrickXasis: /* To those guys who still think that I'm so slow and my translations is atrocious */

My last update here for quite a while (and yes, most of it can be seen at AnimeSuki), since I'll have to leave for National Service. This would end up being like a blog post...

Well, it was fun when it lasted. Didn't expect to last this long in TAMnI. I didn't have much interest in working on it after Shana was taken down, so I was kind of skeptical when I was asked to translate TAMnI by a friend of mine. I accepted it only because the idea of 'Science vs Religion' was covered in my school before (GCE 'A' level: General Paper for those who ask), and I was interested in it.

To be honest, I wanted to work on Vol 1 first, for I actually felt that it would be more complete to do it from the beginning, but as I watched the anime (I've haven't watched it before working on this project), I felt that it'll be better to work on the season 2 series (which I suspect may end at Vol 13).

As I worked on the series, I gradually come to like it, though sometimes the events just borders on absurdity (Don't flak me now). Then again, having to skip Vol 8 was a little weird for me, since I'm the perfectionist type (with OCD to boot), but after some 'convincing' (Again, don't flak me), I skipped through it. I know certain fans aren't happy about it, so forgive me for this.

I've been thinking about it, whether to work on Vol 11 after I finish Vol 8 instead of jumping back to 1, and decide that it'll depend on when Season 2 will be aired. If season 2 airs in Winter this year, I'll work on 11 after 8, if it airs anytime after that, I'll work from 1.

I'm a bit guilty about this, but my translation work could have been faster if I hadn't spent a lot of my free time firing dakkas in Touhou (Sorry folks). Other than that, the rest of my time was spent on work (though I should have cut down my sleeping time.)

Would like to thank EnigmaticRepose, ArkBlazer, Saganatsu for your contributions. I owe you many.

On another note, I might want to work on another series as a breather (occasionally, at least), so anyone can suggest which series?

If anyone feels that there are some things that need to be edited here, like my own grammatical mistakes or any detail that I left out in the translation, you can contact me at my email:omg2000dmg@live.com, or simply post on the discussion thread on each page.

Anyway, to all fans of TAMnI, happy reading.

PS: My BMT ends on the 2nd of July. As for other information, kinsoku jikou desu~

And to any aspiring translators or translators who are worried about doing badly (including Twi, I've heard about you), don't hesitate and just do it. No translation is completely accurate, and to your benefit, there are always others to cover your back. You just need to plant the seed and others will help you grow it.

== To Teh Ping ==

It awesome that your doing "To Aru Majutsu No Index", it doesn't matter if your a slacker.
can't wait to see the translation you do on volume 7 and other if you are/ thanks!!

== TAMnI wiki==
there is one!? where!? in english?

Oh.. wait, a whole wiki devoted to TAMnI, or just a few pages..

I know it a little late but, Congratulation '''Teh PIng''' on completing volume of 7 and know doing volume 9 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index'''. your really fast at translating and posting each chapter everyday, I enjoyed reading your work and thank you so much for doing this (I always like saying nice complements to people it polite). Me and all my friends who go on bakatsuki.com want to say thank very much for doing this! Spring break comes next week, hoped you have a great vocation, you deserved it. Oh and season 2 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index''' comes this October, Hooray

'''P.S. can you please reply to this message or my home page so I know that you got the message, thank you'''

I got the message, no probs~Teh Ping

is it really confirmed that the second season of index is coming on october? or where you just talking about railgun? :(
anyway ping thank you for translating volume 7 you did an awesome job thanks! ^^
also can i ask a shameless request that when you finish volume 10 you do volume 8? its just that im a huge accelerator fan and i just wanna know what happened to him between volume 6 and 12.

I noted above that I'll be doing 8 after 10, since I find it better to try and finish up as much of season 2 before season 2 even started. So ya, no probs. ~Teh Ping

with regards to the order of translation: might it make sense to translate the parts of volume 5 not covered by the anime (as far as I can tell) (chapters 3 & 4) before translating volume 1, as they aren't covered by the anime. just a suggestion: no pressure. Oh, while I'm at it: THANK YOU!! ~saganatsu

Hopefully, The_Observer from OneManga forums will continue to help with the translation, since he was the one who provided Vol 5 Chapter 2. If there's no updates on it by the time I finished 8, I may work on it, if my National Service doesn't drain my brain dead first.. ~Teh Ping

Dear '''Teh Ping''': (this might be long) I have heard that you are going to the military. Well congratulation, I hope that the army will help you and make you realize your destiny. I just wish you luck because my cousin went to the army and man did he tell me it was rough and you don’t get that much sleep at all, but I know you can do it!

Oh I saw your account at animesuki and saw that you like manga ('''one piece''') also. I read it at onemanga and I’m at the part were the war with white beard is officially over, and I love '''katekyo hitman reborn'''! I hope that you will be done with your order of doing '''To Aru Majutsu no Index''' before going to the army. I mean you’re the only one who translates(beside joay but he kinda slow, no offense joay if you happen to read this) this story series that I love so much!!!!

===From Teh Ping===

I got the message

Ah. Forgot to update that page... Lolz.

National Service is compulsory here in Singapore, and I'll have to remain in the Army for about 2 years. I'll have less time to work. Once I get into Army, I'll upload some translations on weekends, so don't despair when I get in. (Though I'm hoping for more translators, can't imagine myself surviving 20 volumes now, and that's including the SS novels.)

UPDATE: Okay, progress will be rather slow as compared to before, but I promise to finish up Volume 10 by the end of July.

==Hiatus Notice==

From now till 19th June, there would be no updates from me due to 2 reasons.

1. National Service BMT -- Need time to rest up, I'm getting less than 2 days break per week now. (Need physio on an old injury)

2. Translator's Hell -- Well, even I have them. (Getting brain drained at an increasingly alarming rate.)

I'm sorry that I'm unable to continue for now, but rest assured that I would still continue to work on this series after this.

~Teh Ping

EDIT: Season 2 was announced, and I'm currently on the injured list, so the comeback date may vary. (Only 10 minutes to work on this, going to hospital now...)

Hope you get better soon! ~saganatsu

take all the rest you need and don't worry; i hope it isn't anything serious dude :( ~ark

EDIT 2: Thanks guys, I'm updating this week (as of 12/06/2010), but I won't be back next week due to certain reasons (some of them are really stupid...). With Index season 2 coming up probably during Winter, I guess I would have to pick up the pace again.

So you won't b able to translate for 3 weeks, man that horrible. But can’t be selfish about this. Just Focus on the army for now and get good rest see you again on translating on June 19th.

hey you still are the guy who contributes the most here; so take any rest you need. hell! june 19 is my birthday so ill take your return as God's gift to me :P

Take a good rest and hope you get well soon.

==End of the Hiatus==

Will be back till Friday. (My MC runs out till then.) After that, I have to book in, get my stuff, and book out. I know it's weird, but that's how it is...

So here's what happened. I fainted in my bunk last Friday, went to see the doctor, and got admitted into hospital (which means no internet, which means I can't check my uni application status.) At the same time, I went to check up on my right elbow (it was dislocated before, and apparently, there's a fracture on it now...), and thanks to that, it looks like I'll be out of combat duty after my BMT. So if you're wondering, yes, I used that time in the hospital to do the translation, again. Almost all the scans are normal, though I do have some instances (12 in fact) when my blood pressure was over 140, and right now, I'm waiting for the results of a 24-hr cardio monitoring scan to see if I'm able to continue to serve my National Service (since my family has a history of heart-related problems).

Glad to see that the Observer from OneManga forums is contributing more now. Now that Season 2 is announced, I'll try and pick up the pace (should be easier when I don't have to do combat duty). After 10, I'll jump back to 8, though I'm still trying to figure out some of the terminologies here (it's like Vol 9 Chp 2 all over again.)

I guess I'm turning this into my own personal blogspace. Well, at least this place doesn't need much maintenance.

Most likely finishing up Vol 10 this weekend. After that, we'll see how it goes here.

~Teh Ping

That blood pressure sounds quite bad. I hope it's nothing and you will be fully recovered soon. --[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 11:26, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

==Sighs...==

Well, last week of BMT, I'm placed on the injured list, so that means no participation in parade, and no 24km route match...

As of now, I've done volume 7, 9 and 10. I wanted to do volume 8 in camp when I have time (and for this week, I guess I will have a lot of it), so I went over to a bookstore to see if there's any volume 8. None, there's volume 11. The reason why I wanted to buy it is so that I can save on printer ink, because this is how I'm working now. Oh well...

As for my blood pressure, the last time I measured it, it was a 100/45. A standard person's blood pressure is supposed to be 120/80, so it's a bit weird. Is it high, low or normal? Will get the results for that tomorrow (well, most likely.)

Anyway, I failed to get into university, so I'm considering of taking the SAT test instead of 'A' levels. (Because there are more examinations per year, which makes it more convenient.)

Hopefully, I can see you guys next week.

~Teh Ping

I kind of hope to see volume 11 rather than 8, but if it's your call, I won't complain of course.

100/45 is defnitely wrong. Diastolic should not be that low. You can't feel ok having that kind of blood pressure I think. I'm a little bit low on systolic (110) and my vision getting dark if I stand up too fast.

Dear '''Teh Ping''':

It nice to hear from you again, it sad to hear you didn't get in the university you wanted but good luck on the SAT. I CAN'T WAIT for volume 8 and the second season of To aru majutsu no index. It still Summer here and a lot of good of good movie are coming this july. I recommend: '''Inception''' and '''Predators '''. Anyway i made a facebook account under the name of '''Mauricio Cuervo''' Anyway have a nice summer, oh do you like video games, because i have all these video games trailer for upcoming games i got at E3 and i can send you some if you want or movies trailer if you want.

Please Reply here or animesuki if you got the message and if you want any of the video.

===From Teh Ping===

Got the message, and no, I don't want them because I don't really have time to watch them. Still got many things to settle here, so yeah. Thanks for the offer.

EDIT: Okay, maybe I'll rethink it over. Maybe I might want to check it out, though I most probably won't be here if I decide to go back and replay PangYa! (I know, I know, it's still my favourite game though...)

==The continuation of my Army life==

Well. Spent this week sleeping and going out a lot (and less translation). Will be posted to combat duty (heard that it's a scouting sort of thing, and that I get to learn how to drive a bike, cool). Too bad I won't be doing them as I'll remain on the injured list until all the admin stuff is done (Which may end in September). So, for the next two weeks till my appointment with the orthopedic, I'll be in camp (and half the time, at the doctor...). Seriously, am I the only one who can't seem to even take a break over here?

On the bright note, once the admin stuff are done, I'll probably end up with a non-combat vocation (the doctor may want to put me down even lower for depression), which most probably means an 8 to 5 job, and yes, more freetime (though for some reason, I'll end up using the free time doing translation and playing touhou again...)

==Well, for the second series that I would work on==

Baka to Test to Syokanju. (Always wanted to work on a lighter series once in a while, and thought that this should fit.)

Of course, my main work will still be Index, but I have to admit that I'm getting drained on it. (Will still work on it though, just finding that I lack motivation to work on it now.)

This way you get two birds with one stone: you get a refresher outside of hospital time (if translating something else as a 'refresher' will actually count as a refresher) and a dead series with a lot of (missing/???) translators and editors might actually be revived. Curious on where you'll start, as practically the start of every volume has been claimed. Then again, I don't know where the anime left off but I know it skipped around a bit. Anyway, take breaks as you feel right (I'm one of those people who burns themselves out quickly and can understand this). --[[User:EnigmaticRepose|EnigmaticRepose]]

==I promise I'll work on Baka Test...==

On 3 months MC now, and then I have to check in at the army hospital every day, so the progress is rather slow. (I'm also being lazy here...)

Gonna get downgraded, I'm separated from my 'wife' (rifle), and I'm going to get married to a new wife (the computer).

Will complete Vol 8, but it's tiring when the nurses (male ones, if you're wondering) inject me with all sorts of weird medications.

Now, my sister calls me 'House'. No prizes (or cookies) to guessing why.

==A little vacation==

On Baka Test, will try to finish up Vol 2 before going back to Index and doing Vol 11 (or the Yamisaka arc, since that will most probably be the first episode).

At this point, it'll be hard for me to work on the first 6 volumes now. After season 2 of Index is done, I will be doing 2 volumes at once (1 and 14).

do it whichever way you want bro, although personally id like the latter parts to be translated since there's already the anime.
anyway go and enjoy your vacation and relax; we will eagerly await your return :) ~ark

Seconded on taking any vacation you need. You did so much that I'm scared you're gonna sick of it soon. I'll just think of v11 as a "surprise" for my anime watching.--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 08:57, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

You are great bro. You can take a rest when ever you want. And I also think that you should go from the volume 14 and SS up ahead. The first 6 volumes are already on the anime. I cant wait to read the volume 15 and the volume 20.
Congratulations from Venezuela!

==So should I? Or should I not?==

Talking about AFA 2010 here. Honestly, there really isn't anything that interests me for this one, apart from Disappearance. Any ideas?

===And my decision===

No response? Okay, that means I'm not going.

==My update schedule for my translation work==

Just thought that I have to make a standard one.

Baka Test--Every Tuesday and Friday
TAMnI Vol 1 to 6--Every Monday
TAMnI Vol 11 and onwards--Everyday

- Wow! Thanks for the schedule! I'll be sure to come in each day and see what you've translated. Just know that your translating fans are cheering you on! - RandomTF

Wow, that a busy schedule but i wish you very much luck! And joay done with volume 13 soon and just in time for the second season of the anime (hope you watch it to, it going to be great). So thank you for this many months for translating out of your own will the novels for fans of the series. We all thank you for your hard work for letting us read the novel that not available in the united sates yet, Thank you

==To those guys who still think that I'm so slow and my translations is atrocious==

I can only say to myself "OMG a hundred seconds!?" and "MOVE FASTER POKEY! FASTER!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FASTER!!"

And with some helpful suggestions, I decided to slow down on the updates. (Partly because thinking about it, I don't think I can keep up with the schedule in the first place, and also because I have another project to work on. It's sports related, anyway). Geez, it's misfortune to be me...

Baka Test: Tuesday and Thursday.
Index: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (Most of the time, the updates will be volumes >7, will finish 11 by End of November though.)

Wonder what's wrong with my brain already...

Sorry for this sudden change, and I hope that you understand this. Thanks for your support.

i still think your schedule is really fast

That's like saying "I'm going to go from 100 km/h to 99 km/h"...

Is it possible? How can I post it anyway? Japanese to Indonesia. japanese to englist. - ([[User:Kili|Kili]])

Well, you could really just post it unless you want specific clearance from the moderators at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2148&start=195 project forum]. For the Indonesian one, you should make a topic with something along the lines of "To Aru Majutsu no Index - Indonesian" at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=29 Alternative Language Forum] for help with setting that up.

The Indonesian version? For that you have to create the Alternate Language Project similar to other Alternate Language Projects with the complete translation of the Project Page (as a naming example: <nowiki>[[To Aru Majutsu no Index ~ Bahasa Indonesia]]</nowiki> ([[To Aru Majutsu no Index ~ Bahasa Indonesia]])), Registration Page, a thread in the Alternate Language Subforum in the Baka-Tsuki Forum and at least one translated Chapter to get the approval to continue the project. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 23:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks EnigmaticRepose for fixing it!--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 00:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

==What the shit.==
Why would a translation project start at volume 12 instead of volume 1? Imagine watching the Lord of the Rings movie series for the first time in your life...except instead of watching it starting from the first movie, you skip to the middle of the 3rd movie during the seige of Gondor. And as you sit through the movie you keep going "Oh this sword guy is kinda cool whats his name? And who is this Sauron guy?".

you, whoever you are, are being horrendously rude and ungrateful for the fact that the translators (you seem pointed at [[user:Joay|Joay]] in particular) not only translate these novels, they do it for free. Besides that, volumes 1 through 6 are covered by the anime, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_light_novels] has synopses of all the novels. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 04:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Also since the translators have the power, they can decide what they like to translate, so if you could translate as well you could start with volume 1 if you like it... or with chapter x in volume y ;) So if you dont cant and dont like it you dont have to read it. I am gratful for that what we have, so should you too if you like to read more of those otherwise unobtainable unreadable volumes. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 08:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

hmm, now that volume 7 and 9 are translated and volume 10 is being translated, i'd like to ask if there is a specific reason that volume 8 was skipped.? It doesn't really matter though, since i was just wondering if maybe the story in 8 takes place in a different time than 7->9. other than that, i'm fine with waiting, since you're all (yeah, you translators ^_^ ) doing a fantastic job at translating this so far. keep up the good work.
oh yeah, and... Ganbare!--[[User:AzraRillian|-AzraRillian - Transcend The Sin - "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." C.S. Lewis]] 03:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

===Took me five months to even notice this, sorry...===

The reason why I did Volumes 9 and 10 before volume 8 was basically because of a request (the first guy who PMed me when I worked on this project asked me whether I can do Volume 9 first. So, sorry...?

And to the guy who has been complaining about Volume 1 not being translated first, well, no point talking about it now when out of a sudden, there are three guys working on volume 1 now (I'm really, really glad to have other people share the workload). Like what [[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] said, the anime has pretty much covered most of the important aspects, and since there's a sizeable fandom of it that can provide all sorts of information, you're not really in the dark regarding what has happened. The 'Lord of the Rings' idea doesn't really work since you would have most likely gone about trying to find out what's going on in order to answer the question of 'what's going on?' Or did you not even bother looking for it?

Well, instead of complaining, you might as well do something about it if you can. Orders are nothing if the actions are not done, you know. We're not entitled to do this for you, we're not even paid to do this. We're doing this only because we want to. We translators here are like Kamijo Touma, we don't have a reason to do things, we just do it.

== What tense to use? ==

So, after reading some chapters of the seventh volume I would like to ask a question. What tense would you use in descriptions? Right now I’m doing some edits on the translated texts but there is always this one thing I’m tripping over. In this volume, and most likely also in the others, we have a third person narrator. In this case you would normally write the descriptions or narrations in the past tense, right? That’s what I would do at least and is commonly done in the most English novels. But as it is, there are some differences in the Asian and the English writing and that includes the used tenses. Because of these differences the translator decided to use the present tense in the above-named cases (most of the time at least). Of course, this isn’t a mistake, but I often feel like it would be one. Perhaps I’m just too used reading the past tense in descriptions but to me, with some exceptions, it often feels awkward when I read some of them in present tense. I would like to get some more opinions on this matter. Is it just me who has this problem or do you think the same as me? [[user:AJS90|AJS90]] 21 March 2010

I've really just been using present tense for everything, which I based off of how the translators worded it. It's a bit weird for the narrator to do so, but eh, I'm used to it already. ...On a side note, it's nice not being the only editor anymore. ~EnigmaticRepose

Yeah, I've been using present tense for my edits, too- but only because there might be a convention in light novels in regard to it that I might be unaware of. Better safe than sorry, you know? I MIGHT try a past-tense sweep edit for second opinions, but only after I'm done with my current (on-going) one.--Tactician J 03:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== About translating. ==

well to be honest, i dont know all that much japanese so i cant really translate, i however have atlas, so the question is can i use atlas as a raw draft and then start editing from there?

another dumb question i have is if there's a reason why the novels are listed only up to volume 13? because i can find them easily on hongfire or emule if anyone needs them.

No, atlas will just lead to shit translations and cause more trouble then what's it worth - response

Unfortunately, translation software will normally make it harder for anyone to translate. You can use it from time to time to check some harder words, but the best is if you have knowledge of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean (Correct me on this one if I'm wrong.) and translate it manually, since it's hard for anyone to start working on it if they don't know what the text is about in the first place. ~Teh Ping

You could try it, but I would wonder and call you very lucky if the outcome isnt gibberish --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 09:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

== I need illustrations for Volume 10 ==

== Pic translation ==
Ah, could someone translate the pics too, if there is on them something to translate, please? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 05:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Most the pictures just have quotes from the novel, with additional tiny descriptions, like 'Academy City Tokiwadai Student' or 'English Purist "Church of Necessary Evil (Necessarius)' and the like, so you aren't missing much. It's really just a fit it in the context after you read it, as they're supposed to be teasers for the story anyway (which is why they're placed in the beginning).

Hm, I thought it would be nice - like we have it for Sword Art Online especially since we dont have translations for all volumes, so some teasers would be nice ;). Have meant only pics like those: [[:Image:Index v01 002-003.jpg|Image 1]]; [[:Image:Index v01 004-005.jpg|Image 2]]; [[:Image:Index v01 006-007.jpg|Image 3]] --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 10:33, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

== Just a slight concern. ==

As Joay and I are busy with our own stuff, I suppose that there should be some sort of a Project Supervisor around to keep check of certain stuff. There will be updates in the future, as Twi will continue to translate this series (hopefully), but I hope that there's someone to keep this series in check, since it's no longer a 'small' project anymore (I guess, since YMMV). ~Teh Ping

You should make a topic with something along the lines of "To Aru Majutsu no Index - Spanish" at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=29 Alternative Language Forum] for help with setting that up. Registering may also be a good idea. An Indonesian one was also set up, so you could use that as a reference. --EnigmaticRepose

== I'll try to translate a bit ==

Currently my japanese is iffy at best, but as i'm studying it might as well give it a shot.I'll try to pick up the 1st chapter of volume one (no one's doing it right?). I'm asking here first as well, i don't know if i can manage it yet.
If i manage to somehow not embarrass myself too much doing that i'll register, and work on the rest of the volume.
Again, i can't be sure i'll manage it so... best try it out first then see.--[[User:AADragon|AADragon]] 16:35, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

No one would say something against it, just feel free to ge ahead, but best would be to register the chapter before, even if it is not very probable that some other translator would translate it anytime soon, but wonder happens sometime, so just to be safe ;) --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 20:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Thanks for your work!!==
Glad to see translated this novel series by Teh_Ping and Joay, thank you very much for working so hard and fast.
At this point, I can say that the translators will surpass Index II(by JCStaff) in covering the novels :)

== Translations? ==

I'm new here, and I want to translate some stuff.
I was reading the chinese version and randomly decided to translate V1C4 from Chinese to English.

Do I need some sort of clearance? Or can I just go ahead and upload my stuff (especially since my translation quality is most definitely sub-par)?

===Go ahead and just upload it===

The editors will be helping out with the language. I'll also help you proofread it if you want.

Over here, there's no need for any bureaucratic red tape. Any translator can just upload their stuff here, so you can just upload it.

EDIT: Still having a bit of trouble with the formatting, garr...

--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 03:51, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Some Question ==

Er.... So, I already translated about three chapter and half from the 2nd Volume...
and the question is... How do I upload it? Any clues?

===Here's what you need===

http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Format_guideline#Wiki_Editing_Tips

1. First, go to the volume that you want to upload.

2. Do you see the edit button on the top right hand corner? Click it.

3. Look at the 'Internal link' section, that is how you're going to add hyperlinks. (You can look at the other volumes for reference)

4. If you did it right, the words should be in red, click on it.

5. Now, you should be in a new page. Click on the 'create' button at the top.

6. Upload the text that you have already translated. (Make sure to press 'enter' once after every paragraph so that it's easier to
read.)

7. Next, the headings. At the wiki editing tips page, look at the 'headings' section (well, duh).

8. If you see the format used on all B-T texts, you'll probably get an idea of how to do it. (Just copy what they do.)

9. For pictures, it's under 'thumbnail image', the 'picture' would be from the illustrations of the volume that's available here. If I want a picture from say 'Volume 1 page 031', the format would be <nowiki>[[Image:Index_v01_031.jpg|thumb]]</nowiki>

10. For a footer, just go to any completed chapter here, copy the scripts for the footer, and make the necessary edits.

If you need any more help, you can pm me.

==Story Synopsis==

Set in a city of scientifically advanced superhuman students, but in a world where magic is also real. Kamijou Touma's right hand, the Imagine Breaker, will negate all magic, psychic, or divine powers- but not his own bad luck. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing. She turns out to be a nun-in-training from the Church of England, and her mind has been implanted with the Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum- all the magical texts the Church has removed from circulation.

== How I enlist ? ==

I done reading to aru majutsu no index chapter 9. So i want to post it in here.
Is it possible? How can I post it anyway? Japanese to Indonesia. japanese to englist. - ([[User:Kili|Kili]])

Well, you could really just post it unless you want specific clearance from the moderators at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2148&start=195 project forum]. For the Indonesian one, you should make a topic with something along the lines of "To Aru Majutsu no Index - Indonesian" at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=29 Alternative Language Forum] for help with setting that up.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. -Repose

actuality I already completed translate english. Not so hard to make it to indonesia. but if I done where and how post it ? - ([[User:Kili|Kili]])

The Indonesian version? For that you have to create the Alternate Language Project similar to other Alternate Language Projects with the complete translation of the Project Page (as a naming example: <nowiki>[[To Aru Majutsu no Index ~ Bahasa Indonesia]]</nowiki> ([[To Aru Majutsu no Index ~ Bahasa Indonesia]])), Registration Page, a thread in the Alternate Language Subforum in the Baka-Tsuki Forum and at least one translated Chapter to get the approval to continue the project. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 23:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

it so hard for to made but I will keep trying. I need time to study about it.

am i wrong ?

I've just joined up, and have registered on the TAMNI register page, is that good enough? I can't seem to get into the forum link. --[[User:Flere821|Flere821]] 09:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Should be just fine, as I assume you'll be translating to English like the other things you've done. I suppose you don't need the forum unless you want to set up a project page up or want to discuss translation terms, but still, not sure why the links don't work for you. --[[User:EnigmaticRepose|EnigmaticRepose]]

==Chapter 2: Doubt_Lovers.==
The link refer to "http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index:Volume5_'''Chapter1'''" So I think of them is wrong?
--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 12:16, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks EnigmaticRepose for fixing it!--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 00:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

==What the shit.==
Why would a translation project start at volume 12 instead of volume 1? Imagine watching the Lord of the Rings movie series for the first time in your life...except instead of watching it starting from the first movie, you skip to the middle of the 3rd movie during the seige of Gondor. And as you sit through the movie you keep going "Oh this sword guy is kinda cool whats his name? And who is this Sauron guy?".

you, whoever you are, are being horrendously rude and ungrateful for the fact that the translators (you seem pointed at [[user:Joay|Joay]] in particular) not only translate these novels, they do it for free. Besides that, volumes 1 through 6 are covered by the anime, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_light_novels] has synopses of all the novels. --[[User:Saganatsu|Saganatsu]] 04:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Also since the translators have the power, they can decide what they like to translate, so if you could translate as well you could start with volume 1 if you like it... or with chapter x in volume y ;) So if you dont cant and dont like it you dont have to read it. I am gratful for that what we have, so should you too if you like to read more of those otherwise unobtainable unreadable volumes. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 08:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

hmm, now that volume 7 and 9 are translated and volume 10 is being translated, i'd like to ask if there is a specific reason that volume 8 was skipped.? It doesn't really matter though, since i was just wondering if maybe the story in 8 takes place in a different time than 7->9. other than that, i'm fine with waiting, since you're all (yeah, you translators ^_^ ) doing a fantastic job at translating this so far. keep up the good work.
oh yeah, and... Ganbare!--[[User:AzraRillian|-AzraRillian - Transcend The Sin - "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." C.S. Lewis]] 03:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

== What tense to use? ==

So, after reading some chapters of the seventh volume I would like to ask a question. What tense would you use in descriptions? Right now I’m doing some edits on the translated texts but there is always this one thing I’m tripping over. In this volume, and most likely also in the others, we have a third person narrator. In this case you would normally write the descriptions or narrations in the past tense, right? That’s what I would do at least and is commonly done in the most English novels. But as it is, there are some differences in the Asian and the English writing and that includes the used tenses. Because of these differences the translator decided to use the present tense in the above-named cases (most of the time at least). Of course, this isn’t a mistake, but I often feel like it would be one. Perhaps I’m just too used reading the past tense in descriptions but to me, with some exceptions, it often feels awkward when I read some of them in present tense. I would like to get some more opinions on this matter. Is it just me who has this problem or do you think the same as me? [[user:AJS90|AJS90]] 21 March 2010

I've really just been using present tense for everything, which I based off of how the translators worded it. It's a bit weird for the narrator to do so, but eh, I'm used to it already. ...On a side note, it's nice not being the only editor anymore. ~EnigmaticRepose

Yeah, I've been using present tense for my edits, too- but only because there might be a convention in light novels in regard to it that I might be unaware of. Better safe than sorry, you know? I MIGHT try a past-tense sweep edit for second opinions, but only after I'm done with my current (on-going) one.--Tactician J 03:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== About translating. ==

well to be honest, i dont know all that much japanese so i cant really translate, i however have atlas, so the question is can i use atlas as a raw draft and then start editing from there?

another dumb question i have is if there's a reason why the novels are listed only up to volume 13? because i can find them easily on hongfire or emule if anyone needs them.

No, atlas will just lead to shit translations and cause more trouble then what's it worth - response

Unfortunately, translation software will normally make it harder for anyone to translate. You can use it from time to time to check some harder words, but the best is if you have knowledge of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean (Correct me on this one if I'm wrong.) and translate it manually, since it's hard for anyone to start working on it if they don't know what the text is about in the first place. ~Teh Ping

You could try it, but I would wonder and call you very lucky if the outcome isnt gibberish --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 09:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

== I need illustrations for Volume 10 ==

Exactly what's written on it. Would the uploader kindly upload the illustrations of the other volumes? Many thanks in advance.~Teh Ping

would it be enough a link of megaupload volumes 1-16 and with the illustration? anyway heres the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2AS0PZD7

== Pic translation ==
Ah, could someone translate the pics too, if there is on them something to translate, please? --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 05:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Most the pictures just have quotes from the novel, with additional tiny descriptions, like 'Academy City Tokiwadai Student' or 'English Purist "Church of Necessary Evil (Necessarius)' and the like, so you aren't missing much. It's really just a fit it in the context after you read it, as they're supposed to be teasers for the story anyway (which is why they're placed in the beginning).

Hm, I thought it would be nice - like we have it for Sword Art Online especially since we dont have translations for all volumes, so some teasers would be nice ;). Have meant only pics like those: [[:Image:Index v01 002-003.jpg|Image 1]]; [[:Image:Index v01 004-005.jpg|Image 2]]; [[:Image:Index v01 006-007.jpg|Image 3]] --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 10:33, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

== Just a slight concern. ==

As Joay and I are busy with our own stuff, I suppose that there should be some sort of a Project Supervisor around to keep check of certain stuff. There will be updates in the future, as Twi will continue to translate this series (hopefully), but I hope that there's someone to keep this series in check, since it's no longer a 'small' project anymore (I guess, since YMMV). ~Teh Ping

== Spanish section request ==

I would like to start a spanish section for the novels.--[[Special:Contributions/190.41.2.140|190.41.2.140]] 22:51, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

You should make a topic with something along the lines of "To Aru Majutsu no Index - Spanish" at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=29 Alternative Language Forum] for help with setting that up. Registering may also be a good idea. An Indonesian one was also set up, so you could use that as a reference. --EnigmaticRepose

== I'll try to translate a bit ==

Currently my japanese is iffy at best, but as i'm studying it might as well give it a shot.I'll try to pick up the 1st chapter of volume one (no one's doing it right?). I'm asking here first as well, i don't know if i can manage it yet.
If i manage to somehow not embarrass myself too much doing that i'll register, and work on the rest of the volume.
Again, i can't be sure i'll manage it so... best try it out first then see.--[[User:AADragon|AADragon]] 16:35, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

No one would say something against it, just feel free to ge ahead, but best would be to register the chapter before, even if it is not very probable that some other translator would translate it anytime soon, but wonder happens sometime, so just to be safe ;) --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 20:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Thanks for your work!!==
Glad to see translated this novel series by Teh_Ping and Joay, thank you very much for working so hard and fast.
At this point, I can say that the translators will surpass Index II(by JCStaff) in covering the novels :)

== Translations? ==

I'm new here, and I want to translate some stuff.
I was reading the chinese version and randomly decided to translate V1C4 from Chinese to English.

Do I need some sort of clearance? Or can I just go ahead and upload my stuff (especially since my translation quality is most definitely sub-par)?
