==On Tsukumodo Volume 2 - Self==
I'm wondering, in Kishitani's memory sharing session, you gave a comment that Kishitani (the real one) refers to his copy as himself in the memories, but in most of the memories, Kishitani refers to his copy as 'he'. So which one do you think is actually right? [[User:Properparadox|Properparadox]] ([[User talk:Properparadox|talk]]) 09:43, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
: I took a quick look at the original and it seems like the usage is also mixed. He refers to the person in the memory-sharing sequence as "I" and "copy". The situation in Japanese is a bit different, though, since first-person and third-person are grammatically the same and personal pronouns are used very sparsely. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 10:41, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. [[User:Properparadox|Properparadox]] ([[User talk:Properparadox|talk]]) 19:49, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

==About Hakomari==
May I know what font you use for the colored illust? I would like to photoshop vol 6 for personal use (and maybe for public use as well) and want to keep it the same with your photoshopping. Or have you done vol 6 already? I want to help, if it's the latter. [[User:Castor212|Castor212]] ([[User talk:Castor212|talk]]) 04:48, 2 June 2015 (CDT)
:I'm using Georgia for them. That said, I already typeset the illustrations ages ago, but haven't uploaded them for some reason that I don't remember. Probably because the texts aren't fully edited. So if you're planning to slap on English text, you may want to wait. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 15:55, 2 June 2015 (CDT)

Aye aye then. Is volume 7 is still in your schedule, btw? [[User:Castor212|Castor212]] ([[User talk:Castor212|talk]]) 21:08, 2 June 2015 (CDT)

==Hoping for an answer==

Wrote to you a while back. If you've read the message, can you please give some kind of answer, so I know that you didn't miss it. If you did miss it, here's the copypaste:

It's been quite a while since I left some tsukumodo questions [[Talk:Tsukumodo:Volume 2 Make-Up|here]]. Just wanted to say that half of them still remain unanswered, just in case you forgot. Although, if you don't have time or don't feel like it, I would undestand.--[[User:idiffer|idif]][[User talk:idiffer|fer]] 14:44, 9 February 2015 (CST)

But this could be left for later. the most urgent question is from vol 3 chapter 2:

i had an argument with another translator regarding the relic (string + key). he thinks the string is something like a metallic wire or guitar string (much less flexible). i think it's more like yarn, thread or rope (very flexible). who is right?
: Sorry about that -- I was just being lazy. Anyway, regarding your question: the text just says "[http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/je2/4074/m1u/%E7%B3%B8/ 糸]", which can be both in my view, so it's up to interpretation, I guess. I personally pictured it to myself as a thin wire because it was also used in a wind-up mechanism.

== Kamisu Reina Series Audio Novel Project Permission ==

Hey, ich wollte fragen, ob ich ein Hoerbuch von der Kamisu Reina Series erstellen darf. [[User:chocolatehearta|chocolatehearta]]([[User talk:chocolatehearta|talk]])
: Nur zu. Wäre cool die Story mal zu hören. :D [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 16:52, 27 December 2014 (CST)

== Permission for Hakomari as an Audio Novel Project ==

Hi, first of all, I'd like to thank you so much for the awesome translation you did of Hakomari, it looks professional and polished, well done! I'd like to ask if you're going to continue it if more volumes of Hakomari come out.

Now, for my main subject. Since you seem to be quite active, I'm sure you've noticed that an [[Audio_Recordings|Audio Novel section]] has opened up in the sidebar. That's the result of discussion between myself and some other enthusiasts in the forums, and what we aim to do is create audiobooks of translation scripts done by contributors. However, due to recent discussion, we've come to the conclusion that it is best to ask permission from the translators themselves, if their scripts can be used as Audio Novel bases, because of the section in the Translation Common Agreement that states that all translations belong to their respective translators.

Therefore, as respectfully as possible, I'd like to request permission to use your translation of Hakomari as a script for an Audio Novel Project of Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria.

Again, I love your work, and thanks for reading! - [[User:Defan752|Defan752]]([[User talk:Defan752|talk]]) - 3:40 PM, July 8, 2014 (UTC+8)

: Hey, great to hear that you like Hakomari. I'm definitely going to translate the last volume once it comes out.
: Regarding the audio novel projects; yes, I've heard of them and I would love to see Hakomari among them. ;) So feel free to use my translations for your project and good luck! [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 09:29, 8 July 2014 (CDT)

== Asking permission for creating the main Page Gekkou (Indonesian) and Translate it ==

Hey, thank you for the English translation of Gekkou, I really loved it, so great, just for notice, I read Hakomari too, and it was really awesome, and your translation is great too ^^ Thanks for both hardwork, Hakomari and Gekkou.

And so, to the main reason, I'm asking permission to creating the main page for Gekkou in Indonesian, and translate it, because I don't know what should I do, I just make it, then submit it, but forget to ask Permission, so you're the one that come to my mind, though.
So, just you know, I'm starting to translate, feel free to put critic. Thank you for reading this ^^ - [[User:Azurey|Azurey]]([[User talk:Azurey|talk]]) - 3:40 AM, 6 July 2014 (GMT +7)
: Great to hear that you liked it! :D Feel free and go ahead with a Indonesian translation. Drop me a message if you need help with anything. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 18:51, 5 July 2014 (CDT)

== Regarding Gekkou ==

Gekkou:The Stubborn Will of the Crescent Moon

By any change, did anyone sudmit you the japanese version on Gekkou:The Stubborn Will of the Crescent Moon? Just wondering...
: Nah, but there were a few people that offered to translate the Chinese version, although I haven't heard of them ever since. Nockgeneer (the guy who posted the introduction) might still be at it, though, since it's only been two months since he started. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 06:23, 29 June 2013 (CDT)

Haha thx for the nformation.Was hoping have more to it, since the story was left hanging.

So.........is nockgeneer still doing Crescent Moon who hate to lose/ stubborn whatever? -[[User:Par74583|Par74583]]

== Asking permission for creating a wikia page for Tsukumodo Antique Shop ==

Hi,
let me first thank you for all the wonderful translations that you've done till date, and also for the one's that you'll be doing in future.

Personally Tsukumodo series is one of my favorites. So I was thinking about creating a wikia page for it using your translations as the source material, and that's only if you are okay with it and if it's not fine with you then I will delete everything that I've done. The story till now is so fantastic and fascinating that I would like to tell about this series to all the people out there who are looking for a good read.
Again, thanks for all the translation works.

:Hey, great to hear that you're enjoying Tsukumodo. I hope that I can find some more time to put into this project in the near future -- I want to translate the last volume badly. Regarding the Wikia page: feel free to create that page and spread the word. :D [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 17:47, 27 July 2013 (CDT)
Well then, will start working on that wiki. Till date i had just done some edits and this will be my first original page. So, i'm pretty slow and might screw up a little. If possible, drop by the page sometime. Once again, thankyou for the trans and will eagerly be waiting for further updates on Tsukumodo :) --[[User:Agar9691|Agar9691]] ([[User talk:Agar9691|talk]]) 22:17, 27 July 2013 (CDT)

== Permission for "Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (French)" ==

Maybe it's a little late to ask for the permission now, since the page is already made (I'm sorryyyyyy ><), but can I make a french translated version Of Hakomari ? I planed to translate your version, since nobody did it for those who can't read english ><
Ah, and I want to use this post to give you a big thanks for this light novel. I enjoyed Zero no Maria a lot, thanks to you :D

: Heyho - glad you enjoyed it and are tackling a French translation! (And hey, maybe that'll help me brush up my French skills, which are in a meager state even after years of taking lessons (albeit involuntarily)! OK, probably not... :D)
:Also, don't worry: actually, Misogi already asked me for permission. Besides, I don't really mind what my translations are used for. :D Just ask me if anything's unclear to you.

YAY ! Thanks a lot ! I'll work hard ;)

Thanks for your remarks on the Project Page, they are correct. - [[User:Misogi|Misogi]] 17:30, 15 January 2014 (GMT+1)

== Hen Ai Saikederikku ==
yo, wollt mich mal erdreisten zu fragen ob jemand spass dran hät Hen Ai Saikederikku zu überstzen? (von mir aus auf deutsch aber englisch macht wohl echt mehr sinn ><). und mit jemand meine ich dich...
: Lustig - erst vor zwei Tagen hat mich jemand das genau gleiche gefragt. Die Antwort bleibt aber leider gleich: Ich fand Hen'ai Psychedelic recht langweilig und habe deshalb kein Interesse an einer Übersetzung. Dazu kommt, dass Mamiya die Serie anscheinend eh nicht weiterführt, von dem her... [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 18:23, 5 April 2014 (CDT)

==Tsukumodo TL help + translate extension==
hi, it's me again. couldn't find you on your irc, so gonna ask here. can you pls clarify a few lines in tsukumodo vol 1 ch 4?

"Mm? Well, if you only open it, sure."

(meaning? that she opens it and does nothing else? is this his joke?)
: While she asks in the traditional sense, he only means to say that she "may take a look" because he doesn't actually want to give it to her / wants it back later.

''It'll be time for work in no time if I just hang around in my crumbly 9 square feet apartment.''

(is he deliberately understating the number of feet?)
: Whoops. Pretty bad mistake on my part. It's supposed to be 80 square feet, or 4 1/2 tatami mats if you want to keep the Japanese counter-part.
And are you by any chance planning on using the TL extension on tsukumodo?

--[[User:idiffer|idif]][[User talk:idiffer|fer]] 14:39, 17 April 2014 (CDT)
: Nah, at the moment I have no plans of using the extension. As far as I know, it's not ready for production use anyway. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 17:50, 17 April 2014 (CDT)

tsukumodo vol 1 ch 3:

I wasn't going to remember that face forever.

(are you sure it's not the opposite? was going to?)--[[User:idiffer|idif]][[User talk:idiffer|fer]] 07:26, 25 April 2014 (CDT)
: Good catch. I probably tried to phrase it by using "forget" first, but then changed my mind and got things mixed up. Anyway, the correct translation is something along the lines of "Never would I forget the face that he'd shown me then." [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 10:37, 25 April 2014 (CDT)

same chapter:

But there are people who have to rely on such a superstition (can't talk about others).

(the thing in the parenthesis - what is it? a reminder for herself? cause she already talked about others...)
: He is just noting (in an ironic tone) that he resorted to that superstition himself.
If you do, one of my important part-timers might come to a bad end."

(like in a visual novel?)
: It works, but it's not an explicit reference to a bad end. A more accurate translation would be that she'd lose one of her part-timers, or that one of them would die.
I prepared chicken sauteed with a potato salad,

(so the chicken is cooked together with the salad in the same frying pan?)
: Dammit, mixed French with English. Should be "chicken sautée" or "sauteed chicken", and in addition to that dish a potato salad.
"Note?"

(doeas this line belong to towako or saki?)
: From the context, I assume it belongs to Saki.

btw, is it alright to use your talk page like this or do u want to move this somewhere else? i'm sure i'll have more questions as i translate. on a side note, good thing it benefits you too - the error catching thing... and are you going to TL vol 3 ch 1? the other translator hasn't been active in a long time + i've read he uses machine translations.--[[User:idiffer|idif]][[User talk:idiffer|fer]] 15:50, 25 April 2014 (CDT)
: Actually, I don't mind either way. But perhaps, putting your comments on the talk page of the chapter would be easier. Regarding the first chapter: Last I heard of him (January, 2014) he still wanted to finish the translation. For now, I started with the first chapter of V4 -- I'll look into the matter after that. At any rate, I'll make sure to give his translation a thorough TLC pass to make sure it's correct.

: Okay, I tried to answer your questions. No problem re: volume 4; I'm excited that we're slowly getting to the main story line. v5c1 will finally present the antagonists. I didn't have anyone edit the translations for v4 yet, although I do plan to do so myself should I ever find the time.

Sorry to bother you again so soon, but I ended up being the TLC for the russian translation of "Tabi ni deyou" (which is inevitably done from your translation), so if you could answer [[Talk:Tabi ni Deyou:Dream| these 6 questions]] when you have the time, that would be awesome.

About tsukumodo vol 4 - I'll try to find the time to correct the small mistakes I did notice. --[[User:idiffer|idif]][[User talk:idiffer|fer]] 11:48, 21 September 2014 (CDT)

:The page contents box? I don't know if it's useful, really. The reasons I removed it:

Thanks for your work on Utsuro no Hako. I'm enjoying it.

Want to second that emotion! Thanks so much EEE!

What? Who? When did you translate this and why haven't I noticed it from the beginning? This is an excellent series and you translated an entire volume a month...that's ungodly. I just wanted to write here to say how awesome it's been reading this series (just finished the first book--I hated the way the author had me with the 'owner' mystery because of his cheap shot) and that I seriously congratulate you on your translations. Sure, they aren't perfect, but you clearly tell this wonderful story, and I'm definitely glad I read it. I truly hope you continue translating ^^.

Totally not trying to butter you up into translating more,

~Blaster

:Thanks for the positive messages Blaster and anon IPs. :D I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the story as much as I did, which is what drove me to translate the whole thing. Though, I'm still not sure just how readable I can translate an already quite complicated book like this. But for now, I think I'll keep translating at least until volume 4 (since volume 3 is my favorite one and hell of a cliff-hanger). [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 17:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, EusthEnoptEron.

I find this novel interesting with a bit mysterious. Therefore, I would like to translate Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria into Vietnamese based on your translation. Would you mind if I use this as source?

Thank you for reading.
:Feel free to use it. Also, just ask if you need some help understanding a part. (It's not edited yet, so things might be more confusing than they are already.) [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 04:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I've just finished reading the first volume, with it's many twists and turns in a way that is almost unbelievable, this has definitely gotten to be another one of my favorite series here at B-T. For that, I'd like to thank you for translating it into a language I can read! So, thank you very much!

I've liked this so much that I hope you won't mind me translating this into spanish!! (After I can peel my eyes off of it... or rather, I get to the last translated chapter)

Thanks for the edits on Hidan no Aria most of the time I do the translations at night before I go to sleep so mistakes are often made especially since Japanese is my third language.

I would also like to thank you for your translation of Utsuru no hako to zero no maria because I have read it, and it was a great novel.

== great novel i've ever read ==

arigatou for translating this series of novel, you manage to update this series very fast(heard the 4th volume in japan just came this june). i very like it. and i hope u never get bored o translate this series(i'm beging on you please he..he, and i wonder how u can learn japanese language? i too want to learn japanese as well, but i don't know the effective way to learn it, so i hope u can give some tips or advise to us what is the effective way to learn japanese.

:# Fight yourself through the 3000 Kanji and the Kana as mentioned on AJATT
:# Read, listen, live Japanese. Maybe even set a limit of how long you allow yourself to read something other than Japanese (I used [http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock.html LeechBlock].

Really, I must say that I love how Eiji Mikage develops his characters. As soon as I noticed that you had uploaded the rest of the volume 4, I couldn't stop reading it until I was finished. Koudai Kamiuchi didn't dissapoint me in the least. Oh well, later I'll see if I can help a little bit with the editing (I'm not adept at rephrasing sentences since I learnt english by myself). Oh and thanks for the Eusth's way to Japanese, eventually I plan to learn it too lol. [[User:Lne|Lne]] 04:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I commented on how awesome you were at translating, and how awesome this series was, so I wanted to do something for when you finished, too. Honestly--you rock. That story made my day. I even figured out the ending of the 'Game of Idleness' early! God, I think that was the only thing I figured out early. I mean, really. How hard is this book to catch on early anyway? :/ Anyway, thank you so much! Haha, I'd love to talk more but you have no email or instant messenger to contact you D: Oh well. It was an epic, amazing, awesome read.

Thanks again,

== Edits ==

For Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, why edit "fufu" to "hehe"? The former is more of a sinister/evil strange laugh, and it doesn't translate to "hehe". For this series, that kind of laugh is fitting of the characters. I hope you didn't change all the fufu to hehe in your translations! (including Dantalian no Shoka) [[User:Imagker|Imagker]] 19:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

:Mh, actually I was planning to change most of them. Fufu just seems so non-English. But I agree that it's not really replaceable 1:1. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 19:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

In anime/manga/games/LN/etc, "fufu/fu fu fu" is normally associated with maniacal characters or evil to smugged, cold, sadistic, just plain amused characters who are devising a plan, etc. It'd be betraying their archetype design if we had them say hehe or something else entirely. I'll go through each chapter to see if there are any more changes and will revert them back to fufu... If that's fine with you. If yes, then, if you can recall any part where you originally went with hehe instead of fufu during your draft, can you change those too? [[User:Imagker|Imagker]] 21:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:Well, okay then, I guess. There are some instances in volume 4 - I'll change them. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 16:32, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Fufu shall be evil laughing? I wouldnt understand that... --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 19:55, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, as far as i know it´s more accurate to say that is a "meaningful laugh", where it´s abit on the mocking side, is a bit hard to describe but it doesn´t truly have to be done by an evil character; afterall, since it´s "meaningul", it generally points at something, or indicates something that the character finds amusing, in fact is rather hard to use it in any other form without it feeling out of place.(Well in fact i can think of one instance in Hakomari that´s a good example of it´s general use but...well i´m already quite long-winded as it is...)
[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 20:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

:Yeah, and "hihi" "hehe" "huhu" "haha" "hrhr" just all feel off. Fufu doesn't look good, but I think it gets across the correct meaning at least. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 21:20, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

why don't you also translate the japanese inscription in vol.3 illustration?in other vol.(2 and 4 especially)they were meaningful and interesting insight into the charactr's thought that weren't in the novel.
furthermore,it really hurt me to see how much you work to edit/improve the novel(:even changing the past-present tense in previous novel);i of course apprectiate all you(and kadi) did to transqalte those 4 vol. so fast.No word could express how grateful i am-only money could-but i think you should no overwork yourself so much.but it's just my opinion;i hope i didn't offend you.
:Aah, I forgot about those. I'll add them when I have time.

I love the story, and I have time during my school break, so I'm doing some major edits offline (I'm rewriting paragraphs and such to make it read much more smoothly, but with the same content and stuff.) so after I finish the first chapter, where should I put it so you can check my changes for accuracy?

== I think there's some overlap in taste here... ==

I've been reading light novels here for a while...since vol 4 of Haruhi was halfway done. Some I like, some I don't. It's a matter of taste, like anything else. I've read both the Utsuru no Hako series and Gekkou and they're both at the top of a short list of favorites. Of the two, I think I prefer vol 1 of Hako slightly just because it scratches my science fiction itch along with my psychological horror itch. Great stuff. My Japanese isn't good enough to translate, but I'm happy to edit these (as I did with all of Gekkou) because they're so different/interesting and not at all like the generic LN offering here. I don't know how you're finding the good stuff that nobody else has even heard of, but keep up the good work! [[User:Senile seinen|Senile seinen]] 20:22, 12 July 2011 (UCT)

I wonder if you could continue translating the Dantalian LNs because I think quite a few people want to read it further and can't read moon (yet).

If you are unable to due to time or any other reason could you make some good summaries at least? That would be appreciated too.
:Dantalian no Shoka is a great LN, but it lacks a main story that connects everything, which bothers me a little. I'll think about making a few summaries, but I guess you'll also be able to read some of the stories in the manga (though I have no idea how actively this one is translated). :D [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 10:26, 29 April 2012 (CDT)

== Thanks for translating ==
Thanks for taking the time to translate the novels. I would really like to thank you in particular for translating Maria, I'm looking every week for updates to the 5th volume!

== How to best express my appreciation for your awesome efforts! ==
You're responsible for translating most of my favorites - Utsuro no Hako,
Gekkou, Our Journey to the End of the Ceasing World - to name just a few. I just started (maybe overenthusiastically, orz) tackling edits to Tsukumodo Antique Shop in thanks, but was wondering what your priorities are for editor efforts: for instance, if you feel Gekkou is complete already, so we shouldn't spend time there; otoh, if you want Utsuro no Hako to be uber-polished, etc etc

Anyway, much thanks (and sorry if my edits are too intrusive)...I haven't done a lot yet, but figured I should check in early rather than be a pain in the butt...

[[User:Grrarr|Grrarr]] 08:38, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
: First of all, thanks a bunch for the edits you made so far. :D Made my day. And don't worry about being too intrusive: if it sound better/more correct/more natural, then it's a good edit, and it will help me pick up new words, figures of speech and whatnot, since I try to check every edit. In fact, for me the most nerve-racking thing while translating is being unable to find a good-sounding and natural wording, so I'm always delighted if someone makes the stuff flow better.

:As for priorities: Hopefully sometime during the next week I'm going to start working on Hakomari 5, which will have top priority. Translation and editing will take place on my private wiki because I want the translation to be as good as possible. If you want to join (in fact, anyone who wants to join) just drop me a message in the forums or at umikarayattekita{AT}yahoo.co.jp and you'll get '''instant access''' (not wanting to sound like a pr0n site).
:* Apart from Hakomari, I'd like to focus mainly on Tsukumodo, since there's still a whack-load of work to be done there (mostly translation-wise).
:* Gekkou: Considered completed. I'm satisfied with its editing state (pretty much the only project I am)
:* Tabi ni Deyou: Don't plan on putting much more work into it. Was just a little one-man side-project.
:* Hakomari <5: I've pretty much given up on getting them into shape. :D yyr has gone through them and erased a lot of errors though.

== Thank You So Much! ==

I really mean it. I sure took my time to come here and express my gratitude. Anyway, i must say it. All the works you translated had some significance for me. All of them. Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria made me like reading in the first place, it was something like two years ago (that's why I've said that I took too long of a time to came here and express my gratitude). Gekkou made me laugh for days, damn, I'm still laughing right now even tough it's not a story I'm supposed to laugh about. Anyway, Tabi ni Deyou was beautiful. I can't really say about Dantalian since I've still didn't read the novel, but I like the story from the anime and manga. And now I'm reading Tsukumodo Antique Shop. I've just ended the first volume and really, it was great. Well enough blabbering, I'm here to give you my thanks but also to cheer you on Tsukumodo, it's a great novel and I'd really like to read it to end. I hope that some of my gratitude reached you since I would have never known any of these novels if not for your hard work. While I'm at it I would like to ask you permission to translate Utsuro and Tsukumodo into Brazillian Portuguese. Well, technically I'm already translating Utsuro for about some time. You can check it [http://lightnovelproject.blogspot.com.br/ here] in the label "Projetos" presently the links are suspended for a new revision on the chapters but you can still see the project page if you want. Thanks for taking your time to read this, and again, thank you very much for your hard work!

It's more farcical than your usual choices, but it's definitely as intellectual as anything else you've done, and it recently had a well-done anime.

I hadn't bothered to look at Romeo's CV before now. A majority of his work is visual novels. Interestingly I've recently played through Cross Channel, which is his most famous vnovel. CC has some clever elements but didn't wow me. Now that I know that the same guy wrote both, I can see the similarities in the narrator's internal commentary and the underlying theme of people who are broken in interesting ways interacting. I'll be waiting for the AURA movie as well - his narrative voice seems better suited to books and serial formats. The Chuunibyou anime that came out this year seems to have a very similar plot to AURA. I'm curious to see his treatment of the idea. In any event, consider doing Jintai - the TLWiki guy did one chapter two years ago. I have the feeling that it's your project if you want it. -[[User:Senile seinen|Senile seinen]] ([[User talk:Senile seinen|talk]]) 10:48, 29 December 2012 (CST)

Yo EEE(Hope you don't mind the abbre.),
I ran into a Chinese version of the Gekkou Short Story: "Stubborn will of the Crescent Moon" a few days back and, since I can read Chinese, would like to continue with the translation to English. I need an editor to vet through my version though, and my command of the language is not really outstanding as it is. Add thereto my schedule for this month is pretty tight too. Anyway, if anyone is interested in continuing with this project, please contact me via my alt email: goink0goink@gmail.com.

== Question about Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria ==

Hi! I just registered after getting to volume 3 of this light novel series. Until the revelations in chapter 1, vol. 3, I had been working under the assumption that all the bits you underlined had a special meaning to them. My working theory was that they were some sort of red truth like in Umineko. That was completely smashed when I several lies showed up in the chapter that I don't seem possible to be tricks of some sort. I tried doing some google searches but couldn't find any references to all the underlining you have done for the series.

So I was wondering if you could please explain the meaning of underlined phrases. Thanks.

--April 22, 2015-- TomaO2
: To be honest, I don't know whether or not Mikage had something special in mind when using underlines (or dots in the case of the original Japanese text). Most likely they're just supposed to emphasize certain passages, so I wouldn't read too much into them. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron#top|talk]]) 11:36, 22 April 2015 (CDT)

:: I'm going to have to apologize. I stopped reading right after Daiya revealed himself as the owner of the box after game three, which I assumed meant that the underlined text from the earlier game was a blatant lie. I've gotten further now and it was, in fact, the truth and the actual box master of the game of idleness has been revealed. I suppose if I had spelled out exactly what I thought was the lie earlier, you could have corrected me at the time but I didn't want to write down spoilers at the time.

::Therefore, I'm going back to my belief that everything underlined is a truth of some sort. Either because the other person believes (even if he's wrong) or, if Kazuki thinks it to be true, then a literal truth of the story. That's my working theory of how underlined text works. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

For the that part maybe either put " " quotations marks around the sorry when Yuta says that, and put like a star * on courteous or something like that to put emphasis on it to express sarcasm. [[User talk:Dual Blades|talk]])
:Double quotation marks shouldn't be used as they usually denote speech or a quote and things like "I am really "sorry"" would look weird. And star is usually used to denote sound effects. It's easier to denote emphasis using bold or sarcasm using italics, or using single quotes for either.

What does "it’s not like I understand it well enough that I could explain it to someone with enough detail that they wouldn’t have already heard before." mean? He wasn't able to explain it with enough detail so that they don't know what it is? This sentence is a bit confusing...

-- [[User:神|神]] ([[User talk:神|talk]]) 01:23, 23 October 2013 (CDT)

What does it mean by "homework is already good"? Is the homework done, or does she like homework? Also, by "relay racing from store to store", do you mean that they watched the racing on TV, or did they actually do it themselves?

-- [[User:神|神]] ([[User talk:神|talk]]) 23:51, 19 November 2013 (CST)

Not sure what this refers to.

'''Incidentally, I don’t know that person or actually have anything to do with them.'''

Is he talking about Sora there?

Also, by this sentence, does he mean that it's impossible to put on the skate with everybody packed together?

'''"Everyone packed in this it’s impossible."'''

== Hi Onizuka-gto. ==

I've been trying to raise a suggestion regarding the English translation of Volume 4 but since the "system" never recognised any change log if all I simply edited was the comment in the summary box at the bottom, my suggestion never went through.

Anyhow, the title of volume 4 currently stands as the '''The Vanishing of Suzumiya Haruhi''' and the first thing that has always come to my mind in the past is that it just doesn't read well.
To check out the translation of the Japanese word, I looked up 消失 (which is pronounced something along the lines of "shiyoushitsu" I think) and what it accurately translates to is 'disappearance".
This translation of the kanji is ideal as not only it is accurate (disappear is synonymous with vanish) and the substitution of "vanishing" with "disappearance" is grammatically correct.

Hence I would suggest the title of Volume 4 be changed to: '''The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi'''.

:I guess it won't hurt to warn about this : don't create ''zero_no_tsukaima:smth'' (or other futures custom namespaces) page before the namespace is software-ly created, or it may cause problems
:For that extension, the pages indicated "1.5 or higher" so there should be no problems... I hope ^^;
:About the communist thing, I don't really agree : it IS implemented that you can prevent non-identified people from reading a wiki... the problem that is, basically, it's either for all pages or none. But well, maybe the "access-by-namespace" feature we're needing will be fully integrated in the 1.8 version, we can hope :).

''Er..."Software-ly" created?'' : about this, I meant creating it forehand with the administration thing (I read it can be added directly here with the 1.7 version), so it appears in the namespace list [http://project.baka-tsuki.net/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=0 here]. The main problem to add pages with a "fake namespace" before the creation, is it'll be counted as being in the "main" namespace instead of the real one (like ''Zero no Tsukaima:teaser'' is currently) -- well maybe there are other problemes, but I never heard about them :)

I don't really like the idea of putting an email on a public wiki (spam bot collecting adresses and all), mail send doesn't work on this wiki >_<

==Navigation template==
Meow :)

First, I had some problem with my mails, you could you please confirm wether you received the one I sent you a few days ago ?

to the main topic, I'm working on a template to replace the current "navigation bar" code at the bottom of each chapter.

''(here was some code)''

There is one little flaw : the parameter is the same for the adress and for the display (that's explains why "Chapter1" is displayed instead of "Chapter 1")

We can either rename the pages so there is a space, or add 2 separate parameters for the display (which IMO, complicate it quite a bit compared to the simplicity the template is supposed to offer)

Which one would you (or big boss) prefer ?

:Meow :)
:About the template, [http://project.baka-tsuki.net/index.php?title=Suzumiya_Haruhi%3AVolume4_Chapter2&diff=5517&oldid=5510 this diff comment] gave me the idea, and also, I saw an (aborted) attempt of doing so in the [http://project.baka-tsuki.net/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=10 templates pages]
:The 2 box are the same, it's on purpose :) The advantage of having a template, well, it's just taht the day you wants to change the navigation appareance, you just change the template and not all the page... but appart from that, you're right about the fact it doesn't hold much interest (plus there is not that many pages to change)
: 
:About the search bar, the one currently appearing is broken : I suppose theLastGuardian changed the link directly in the code or something (but [[Special:Search]] is still available if typed directly).
:Also, I wondered for some times why the spamlist didn't update, but I surprisedly had an edit blocked yesterday because the page contained "display:none;".. I didn't quite understand ^^; could you please ask him about this ? (you'll need that code to make the search bar disappear anyway)

== Asking permission for Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Vietnamese ==

Hi,
I came across the light novel named Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu after Suzumiya Haruhi was down. I find Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu really interesting. I would like to translate it into Vietnamese using the translation on baka-tsuki. Would you mind if I use it as source? Since I intend to post it on vnsharing.net, I'll update my translation on baka-tsuki too.

Thank you for reading

ps: I have completed 2 chapters already. It will take sometime before I can get acquainted with posting translation on baka-tsuki. Sorry in advanced if the translation is not on-date.

== Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Vietnamese ==

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your attention.

I've been working on chapter 9 of volume 1 which has 10 chapters in total. Ironically, it seems that the english BTS project hasn't been updated for months. I wonder if the translators were doing fine or they've posted it somewhere else? I would like to continue this project, but by the time I finish volume 1 and there is no new update (*sob)(*crying), I guess I'll switch to another project like Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria.

I'm very, very appreciate all you guys' work.

ps: by the way, I don't know how to deal with posting my translation on baka-tsuki. Really.

== thx for the info ==

thx for the info. now, i'm re-update the vietnamese index of baka to test to shoukanjuu

Onizuka, could you possibly undelete the pages of shakugan that were translated before the project was abandoned?

==''Toshokan Sensou'' Novel Translation==

Hey, this is Melithiel from LiveJournal. You messaged me about sharing my translation of ''Toshokan Sensou'' on Baka-Tsuki. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner--I tried the Hotmail address on your profile, but the mail bounced back to me, and this was the only way I could think of to contact you. I'm definitely interested, but I'm not sure what form this sharing should take. Were you thinking of just posting links to my translation, or copying the whole thing into the wiki format you have on B-T?

:Dear Meth, I think i'm in exactly the same situation that you mentioned, I still haven't figured out how to send messages on livejournal! So i apologise if you receive this message twice from....two different places. Also i'm confused that my link didn't work, but i have a solution! We have a Baka-Tsuki Forum: [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/ Baka-Tsuki Forums]. Specifically there is a topic regarding this matter here:[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4238 Toshokan Sensou Topic]

:My personal email is: onizuka.gto.uk (at) gmail (dot) com

:Hopefully we can have a more detailed conversation with some solid contact, but to answer your question briefly, the solution we usually pursue is the latter method that you mentioned on my Wiki Talk Page. That is, I would like to take a copy of your script on Livejournal and "reconstruct" the pages together into clear divided Chapters as it was intended to. It will be quite a task i imagine, but if you have a copy of your previous script in one text file, that would be very helpful. Usually at Baka-Tsuki.org we allow scripts to be edited by volunteers, to catch out the little grammar & Spelling mistakes, however as the single translator to the project we can lock the scripts as well for your peace of mind> Hopefully you will receive this message and we can somewhat be able to communicate on one single method. :P

Hello, I'm Soryusu, currently translator of Haruhi in Lithuanian. The thing is, I'm a bit tired of this project (I'm mean, it's Haruhi, the girl sometimes gets on your nerves) and want to try out something new. So I got an idea about "Welcome to NHK!" light novel but since it's already been released in English, Baka-Tsuki has no project for it. I know people here try not to piss off copyright inquisitors, especially nowadays, but nevertheless is there any way for such project to exist? It's more like a hypothetical question though, because I have entrance exams coming up and wouldn't be working on the project now anyway (sucks to be me), however I would still like to upload 9 or so pages I've already done (that's like prologue + one and a half chapter).

Anyway, I have some stuff to ask. As I mentioned before, I will be having entrance exams soon, and most likely won't be active. So I need an administrator to look after the project. This applies to my Haruhi project too, because it doesn't have one either. I never really had a chance to know people here, so could you be one? If yes, please put your name by the "Projekto Administratorius". I would really appreciate that.

Also, I've been lurking a bit and found that in the Spanish category there is this sole Golden Time prologue without any actual project for it. So I would like to ask is it OK to upload chapters like that? Before I decided to start NHK project I translated some other stuff (prologues of Tomodachi, Spice and Wolf, Shana), and I kinda think it would be a waste not to put them here (aside from satisfying my massive vanity) but don't really want to create separate projects for each of them, because they would be very much dead like that.

Okay, I put the chapter list you asked, you can do your magic.

Regarding supervising, I think you know yourself that it's hard finding volunteers. After all, even most of the English projects are struggling with that, not to talk about languages witch have like one or two projects here. A person with all that dark and mysterious administrator power of doom will surely do for now.

Teaser tags sounds good. Actually, I don't really want to mess around with other people projects much. Also, everything could be found on the alt. language list in the Main Page or Teaser Projects list on the left, so no problem.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Hi there,
My friend and I (we function as one translator though ^^) would like to contribute to the light novel Mushoku Tensei,

we have a lot of free time on our hands now and can finish about 3 ~~ 4 chapters a week.

Unfortunately we have already done a chapter or two which were claimed by other active translators, (we didn't really know anything about the BT guidelines)

But we'll contact other active translators and see if we can work something out.

I thought it would be a good idea to drop here first and ask if you could list us as active translators.

====Project Growth====

Onizuka-gto, thanks for taking the time to supervise this project which doesn't have a manager, amid the incredible growth it's experienced in the past month and all the confusion that's arisen from that.

I know that preview translations are allowed (I've read what you wrote at http://www.baka-tsuki.org:8080/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1705). But is it possible to limit them in some way? It feels like the presence of machine translations encourages readers to lose their patience, and therefore might discourage active translators because they feel like readers don't care that they put in the extra effort to be accurate.

What if you did this? Suppose that all machine translations need to follow two of your guidelines:

<pre>2) Script need to be consulted with a Human translator who can conduct a general proofing with the original raws used for it. (in the same language used, if possible )
3) All machine script need an approve by a Baka-Tsuki Staff before publishing on the wiki.</pre>

Basically, all previews would have to be proofread before posting--to make sure sentences are distinct (capitalized at start, punctuated at end) and above all that they don't really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

To enforce this, you might have to pull some of the current previews and leave notes on the translators' pages about the policy. But I think that could be an efficient and fair way to apply existing policies and address the problems some editors have dealing with the large number of unproofed previews.

I know you're the one who comes up with policies for Baka-Tsuki, so just decide whatever you think is best. This is just an idea I came up with.

== Mushoku Tensei ==

Hi , I'd like to join the Mushoku Tensei project as editor\translator , though i will be translating from the chinese version( the accuracy might be lower ).
I know that there are already a lot of translators which are far better than me , that's why i was planning to re-translate/edit just the machine translated chapters.
AS for which chapter to translate i will ask the current translators and of course i won't translate\edit anything without their permission.
I don't know how well i will do since english is not my first language(I'm chinese), but will do my best to help.

- Dear Giorgio Wu,

Thank you for your interest in Mushoku Tensei, the first step is to register on the Baka-Tsuki Wiki, which is free and painless, from there you can head to the the Mushoku Tensei Registration page here:
[[Mushoku_Tensei:Registration_Page|Mushoku Tensei Translators Registration]]

You are welcome to join, however i was not aware that there was a chinese translation of Mushoku Tensei.

Is it possible if you can send me a link to have a look?
my Chinese is wholefully poor but i would just like to see how far the chinese translation have gone.

Thanks, Onizuka-GTO for letting me know. I was just curious.

I came across an anonymous translation for V15 Chapter 146 from /a/. As no one was registered for it, it seems fortunate, but as an editor I have no experience uploading chapters and the customs. Is there a precedent for this? Would it be possible for someone to upload the translation as a preview, given its anonymous translation? Or, as a main one?

Anyways, here is the link: http://pastebin.com/fNAzbNZg

== Mushoku Tensei Translation ==

Hi Onizuka,

I don't know if I would be allowed to or if there is room, but I am considering helping translating Mushoku Tensei. However, I am not very good at kanji so I will be relying heavily on rikaichan and jisho.org for the kanji and vocabulary. This would help me further my studies in Japanese and contribute to the community simultaneously. I don't know how good my translations would be or my Japanese skills, so I am hesitant to even consider translating.

Thanks,

To Onizuka,

I want to tell you that I like to '''Attempting''' to Translate Mushoku Tensei Vol 16 Chapter 10,this chapter will be a novice translation/first attempted translating. - try to register in registration pages as anoymous but has been block from it so i post it here (Already has an account but will only reveal my name if the chapter complete, if not.. anyone can pick it)- [[Special:Contributions/203.106.148.182|203.106.148.182]] 21:27, 3 August 2014 (CDT)

Dear Anonymous,
I think if you wish to attempt to translate a chapter, then there is no benefit to stay anonymous, "there is no try....only do or do not" as one wise green alien master once said.

So, if you are committed then i suggest you login and register for that chapter.
However, i am aware how much pressure there might be and that all new learner are so what afraid of the peer-review nature of Baka-Tsuki, that is, the judgement from your fellow translators and editors.

So perhaps there is a compromise? As you can see, we have "Previews" for some chapters. They are a method for new learners to take a chance and translate.
Not only will you be announcing to readers and your fellow translators and editors that you are new but to also understand that you are still learning.

Although i cannot say this will stop you from being criticised from both readers and peers, but on the other hand, there is less pressure on you, or until you feel you have the confidence to be able to produce a translated script.
There is also no honour lost, as we will still give you credit as a preview author for your effort.

So what do you say? No pain, no gained.
We can give you the opportunity but in return all we ask is your willingness to put your name where you mouth is (or fingers type?).

whatever you decided, i thank you for the interest in Mushoku Tensei and i look forward to seeing more contribution from you.

Best Regards,

Onizuka-GTO 21:43, 3 August 2014 (CDT)

== Mushoku Tensei Translator ==

Hey there Onizuka, Fighter747 registering as a regular (not machine) translator for Mushoku Tensei.

== Mushoku Tensei Editor ==

Hey there. Laclongquan would like to be an editor for MT.
As Vanant and Kaito can attest, I can be a pest in regarding to context and obscure jokes that MT author like to indulge himself.

==Mushoku Tensei Web Novel Chapters 128/129==
Permission was given by the translator to upload the translations. Previously registered translator had registered multiple chapters, which is against the guidelines, and still had yet to upload previous chapters. Request a reverse of the wipes. (Am I using this talk thing correctly?)
--[[User:Deadgye|Deadgye]] ([[User talk:Deadgye|talk]]) 11:33PM, 18 August 2014 (EST)

It is not against the rules to register multiple chapters, it is suggested that you don't register more than half a volume but it doesn't mean you are not allowed to. Dark Kaito and Vanant are treated as a group called Kanant Vaito, Skuizaan is also working on volume 13 which means that the chapter already has a max number of 2 translators. According to the registration page, Vanant has already completed his previously registered chapters, so I can't see which previously registered chapters he hasn't uploaded yet. Lastly chapters are registered by 'First Come, First Serve', at the very least you should ask if you can upload a chapter that has already been registered by someone else. [[User:SilentNumber|SilentNumber]] ([[User talk:SilentNumber|talk]]) 22:57, 18 August 2014 (CDT)

Finally found the rules in the registration page: "Maximum number of volumes you may be active on is one". Vanant was registered as active on both v13 and v14. There were already three active translators registered for v13, one over the supposed "max" of 2. Regardless, Vanant has removed his name from the registration for 128/129. If he wants to put his name back on them and put his translations there, I doubt anyone would object. But at this point in time I believe all the criteria should be met for those chapters to be listed there. Correct me if I'm wrong. --[[User:Deadgye|Deadgye]] ([[User talk:Deadgye|talk]]) 12:53AM, 19 August 2014 (EST)

---

This is the translator and source of 128/129 script you deleted, and I'll also like to request the wipes be reversed. Vanant has dropped the chapters, and his replacement as well. Now that the chapters are open, and I have identified myself, I see no administrative reasons to keep those two chapters deleted.

While I'm here, I want to apologize for the drama on BT that I may have caused. I feel remorsed that my translation caused strife between MT translators on BT. That was not my intention. Although I feel that I have been unreasonably targeted by BT and my translations unfairly stigmatized, I understand the trigger of events was mine. I'm sorry.

I consider my work for 4chan, but I hope we can make amends. Everyone are working towards a singular goal - fully translate MT. While I won't post any of my scripts on BT myself, again I offer blanket permission to anyone to copy, edit, and post any script of mine for all locations, including BT.

As proof of my identity, here's [http://pastebin.com/ZZJ40sHV MT chapter 150] that I have yet to post on 4chan. Furthermore, 151 will be posted on 4chan by tonight. - [[User:Onii Sama|Onii Sama]] ([[User talk:Onii Sama|talk]]) 17:32, 23 August 2014 (CDT)

Hi! As a user who got tired of constantly having to click links to various pages, I hope to do a shift moving the offsite links into preview pages. Sadly, I'm kind of new to this process, and did not realize I needed to get your permission before beginning work. If you'd check the Tate no Yuusha main page, you can see what I have done so far; please give me a 'yes' or 'no', and in the case of 'no', I'll fix the page back to how it was before. As a side note, I have official permission from yoraikun, Epithetic, TheDefend, kookiedreamer, and Hatoken, and assumed permission from bakahou (he's dead at the moment, but I know I've read somewhere he has said before he does not mind shifting).

=Tate no Yuusha Cancellation Protest=

Dear Onizuka-gto,

I am commenting here to protest the cancellation of the Tate no Yuusha Web Novel Project. Though the Tate no Yuusha '''light novel and manga''' series were indeed licensed and do not merit a place on this site, our current translation/editing efforts are focused upon the ''unlicensed'' '''web novel''', which differs greatly in plotline from the light novel.

As such, may I request you retract the 'abandoned' status of the Tate no Yuusha project?

From my understanding, the Tate no Yuusha light novel and web novel diverge around the Calmira-Island arc - it may be necessary to remove chapters 1-78, but for the sake of the translators and editors that worked so hard, please let us keep the restǃǃ

Thank you for your time, and hope things turn out wellǃ

If that is the case, could the protection level of the page please be returned to one which allows general users to edit? I want to keep the site updated to the latest translated chapters. And considering how fast chapters get translated, a backlog of 10+ chapters could form before I realize it. Which would be a nightmare.

And what a reliefǃ My eyes are slightly teary...

You're given free rein to complete the later volumes (except for NT Vol 2, since I don't know how many people will be 'crazy' enough to do that), including the incomplete ones. The other translators won't be working on it anyway.

Also, I might recruit you to do some of the earlier volumes (after the later volumes are complete). Nah, just kidding. I'll prefer that you work on the other side stories first, but that's your choice.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 10:14, 22 May 2011 (UCT)

I can't answer you through PM, so I'll just post this here. I've unlocked all the chapters for volume 1, except for prologue and afterword which you did. You can redo the other chapters, including chapter 1 and epilogue which I did. Just remember that people are also complaining about poor translations from 7-13, and I did 7-11. At the worst case scenario, you'll be asked to retranslate 7-13. (And as for the consistent translations thing, there's NT1 and NT4.) Bottom line, just tell me what needs rework, and I'll see if we'll proceed with the Index retranslations.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 23:18, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

For now, I'm really only considering 1 and maybe 12-13 after that. What I'm mainly concerned about are accuracy issues since they can't be corrected in editing, and from what I've seen of your translations, that isn't really an issue. Also, I'm not really too concerned with the consistency issue for NT. I'm only stressing it with 1 because people have brought it up and because I like the idea of having the 1st book a lot of people read in the series read as nice as possible. [[User:Js06|Js06]] 23:46, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

Can't argue with that. Good to have a good start. Ah, and tell those guys on 4chan that I'll be redoing 12 and 13, starting from June.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 23:49, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

Hello. I wanted to check if you are planning to re-translate volume 13 of Index? I noticed that you indicated on Teh Ping's talk page that you were intending to re-translate/edit v12-13, and that after finishing v12 you started on the first chapter of v13. I have been reading through the series and editing the narrative of the older volumes into the past tense. I will be reaching volume 13 soon, but converting that volume to the past tense would be meaningless if you are planning to do a more thorough edit or a re-translation in the near future. Thanks for all your translations, [[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 19:44, 27 February 2013 (CST)

I plan to retranslating Volume 13 eventually. I plan to finish translating Kamachi's other novels first though, so it might be a few months before I get back to it. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 19:48, 27 February 2013 (CST)

Hello, I am planning to do an edit through all chapters of Index for consistency in word choice, formatting, and terminology in the next few weeks. My proposed changes are listed on [[User_talk:Cthaeh|my talk page]] if you'd like to look them over. In particular, I'd appreciate it if you could look at the first collapsible box ("Major edits") when you get a chance, as it contains quite a few things that I could use your help or advice on. Or let me know if there are any other changes you'd like me to make to take advantage of the fact I'm editing the entire series at once. Thank you, --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 18:46, 29 August 2013 (CDT)

Thank you for your help and comments. I have rearranged the list to emphasize the last few things I could still use help on (at the top of the "Major Edits" box). One place I'd like your opinion on in particular is whether or not to change the capitalization of terms such as ITEM (vs Item). --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 19:30, 30 August 2013 (CDT)

Hello, I'm new and didn't know where to put this. I made an account just to thank you on your demon king translations. Thanks for your hard work!

Hey JS. First, I want to thank you for all the amazing work you have done so far. Second, I would like to ask for permission to do an audio book version of some of your series. As you may be aware, there is an ongoing project to turn some of the LN into audio books for the baka-tsuki youtube account. After some discussion on the forums, a point was brought up that when possible, we should seek the permission of the translators to do this. So, here I am, asking if it would be fine to do an audio book from the Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou series. Please let me know when you can! --[[User:No1atall|No1atall]] ([[User talk:No1atall|talk]]) 20:40, 1 July 2014

Hi! Thank you for your contributions to the translating community! I'm posting to ask for your help in translating a light novel. Try reading Mokushiroku Arisu. Even if you don't decide to help translate it, the plot should be an extremely enjoyable read! [[User: Futon Lord|Futon Lord]] ([[User talk:Futon Lord|talk]]) 20:40, 5 October 2014

== Square Brackts for [GROUP]? ==
Hey Js06. I've been editing the previously-translated parts of Volume 15, and I was wondering: Joay left a lot of terms in brackets like [GROUP] and the like. Should I just remove all of those? Also, if you can, please check some sentences that I've commented on to make sure they stay close enough to the original: I was kinda grasping at straws when trying to make them make sense in English. [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 21:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

The brackets around GROUP were probably meant to emulate the Japanese-style quotation marks 『』 used in the novels, but they aren't really necessary. The Japanese like to put things in quotation marks to distinguish them in the same way capitalizing the word is sometimes used in English (e.g. Esper names like Meltdowner and AIM Stalker are put in quotes in the novels.) I used to puts things in quotes excessively in my translations because I was copying the Japanese usage, but I stopped recently.
I'll look over the changes you mentioned later today. Thanks for your work. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 22:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== SS2? ==
Hey JS06, I know you can translate whatever you want, but why did u "jump" to SS2 so suddenly?Just curiosity. Thanks in advance. --[[User:186.204.5.233|186.204.5.233]] 14:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean? All that isn't done between 15 and SS2 is 16's epilogue which someone else is working on. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 20:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

lol, that's true, haha. I thought I saw 17 and 18 before it. Must be crazy. --[[User:186.204.5.233|186.204.5.233]] 12:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll finish where it left off, just continue on with the later volumes.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 10:47, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Present Tenses vs. Past Tense? ==
Looking at your SS2 translations, I realized that you're doing them in past tense as opposed to present tense like you use in the other novels. Is the original material in past tense, or did you decide to start using more past tense? I do understand that the stories seem to have occurred before volume 16; is that why they're in past tense? It sounds more natural this way, but do we need to keep consistency with the other novels? [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 16:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

What? I've always used the past tense in my translations here. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 17:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoops! Sorry. I've been editing the other portions of volume 15 too long, and they're all blurring together in my head. Never mind then. I guess I should put those in past tense to match? (argh; so much work!) [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 17:18, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I thought that we were to aim for present tense usage and only use past tense where necessary? ([[To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index:Names_and_Terminology_Guideline#Narrative_Tenses]])

Js06,

I've restored a deleted message on your talk page (from 186.204.5.233) to make sense of that conversation. I've also added some headings. I hope that you don't mind the intrusion. Feel free to undo any of it if you like.

Thank you for all of your hard work translating!

--[[User:Stiyl|Stiyl]] 13:09, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I keep following your work on To Aru. I am waiting for the next volume.

I just wanted to say thanks for the great work you're doing on To Aru. Thanks to you (and all the others who are not translating it anymore) I can read this great story.

I too wants to thank you for translating those last chapters. Good job!

Thanks a lot for translating Heavy Object.

I can't thank you enough for all the great work you're doing on Baka-Tsuki. I was already happy with ''To Aru'' and ''Heavy Object''; but now you're even doing ''Bakemonogatari''!! I'm so happy. Thanks a lot.--[[User:MaerisCrisis|MaerisCrisis]] 04:18, 25 February 2012 (CST)

Just wanted to drop by and thank you for picking up the Monogatari series. I've always wanted to see the difference between the anime and novel versions. Thanks again!

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for putting so much work into all that translating for To Aru. I think you're the only one still translating, but you do it so fast and it still comes out well. Thanks to you we can read TaMnI without learning Japanese! Thanks! You're an awesome person!

[[User:Turtleman579|Turtleman579]] 22:41, 30 January 2012 (CST)

Thanks a lot for translating Heavy Object - I've really enjoyed the series and the work you've done. Am slowly making my way through To Aru as well, and again, I'm thankful you and other translators have so graciously dedicated their time to helping share/translate these captivating stories with those of us who can't read Japanese at all.

thanks so much man this looks awsome i cant wait to read it! you rock dude. doing this solo is amazing

== Side Stories ==

Hello Js06, Thanks for getting around to and translating "A Certain Prophecy Index" side story. I was looking through some of Haimura Kiyotaka's official artwork and I could be wrong but I spotted an image that looks like its part of another side story (http://railgun0aria.pixnet.net/album/photo/142464681). Tried to find more about it with little luck, was hoping you tell whether it's part of a story or just an illustration. Thanks for everything you're the best!
--[[User:Nonus|Nonus]] 10:50, 31 January 2013 (EDT)

I just wanted to thank you for your work on heavy object. To be honest, I like it more than the index series because it seems to be focused on one directions, whereas index has tons and tons. --[[User:Catchfraze|Catchfraze]] 11:28, 20 June 2012 (CDT)

Hey Js06, this is kinda a follow-up from the message above. Long story short, [[Ore_no_Imōto_ga_Konna_ni_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai:Volume_3_Chapter_4]] was completed a while ago, but only because an anon IP copy-pasted from NanoDesu's translations, which he reverted just a bit earlier.

== Kakine's "mukatsuita" ==

Hello Js06! :)

I'm [mailto:dorothy@marheavenj.net Dorothy], nice to meet you!
I'm sorry to bother (and forgive me for my bad English), I'm writing because I have a question about Kakine Teitoku (from Toaru Majutsu no Index vol.15)'s phrase...
I was updating a site I dedicated to [http://www.marheavenj.net/mischievous/ him] and writing his profile, I found a difficult...
The phrase is ムカついたかよ、チンピラ , so, could "mukatsuita" be intended as "you pissed me off"? I always found it translated as "that hurt", but isn't it more like "You offended me" that "you pissed me off?"? I'm confused about it... and I'm not an expert of Japanese, so I prefered to ask to you! >_< Thank you so much for your job, you really are a manna from heaven!! :) 1:22, 08 June, 2012.

You are correct. ムカついた is the past tense of the verb ムカつく which (in common usage) means "to be irritated" or "to be pissed off". - [[User:Js06|Js06]] 19:34, 7 June 2012 (CDT)

== Heavy Object ==

Hi Js06, thanks for your translation of Heavy Object. For volume 3 chapter 2, someone changed the value of the distance to the UAV from 1900m to 2900m, so I would like to ask if you can double check if the new value is the correct value. Thank you. :D [[User:Zakashi|Zakashi]] 04:44, 22 July 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the heads up. This was my mistake, though. The text clearly says 2900. I must have either misread it or mistyped it. [[User:Js06|Js06]] 13:25, 22 July 2012 (CDT)

Hello. I guess it's about time, the progress has has reached that far, so... Would you like me to create a Heavy Object Nav template like I have for many other projects? (The links are available on my User page). [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 21:54, 23 August 2012 (CDT)

You can if you want, but it honestly doesn't matter that much to me. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 20:20, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

I've implemented the [[Template:HEAVYOBJECT Nav|new nav template]] and optimized your text for the web (thus reducing total size of the pages). Now with the new template the navigation has levelled up (it'll be much smoother now) and with the removal of all that waste space the pages will load much faster. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 13:08, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

Hey Js06. I have a request. Can I change the formatting of the "(whisper/mutter)" to "whisper/mutter" or "whisper/mutter". The format is better that way since the DimGray or DarkSlateGray color gives the feeling that the person is speaking in a low voice as compared to the normal black color. Plus, brackets inside speech marks is somehow wierd. So, can I? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:57, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

If you like. I'm just copying the format Kamachi uses. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 16:34, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

If that's the format Kamachi uses, I'd recommend it not be changed. --[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] - [[User_talk:Pryun|Talk]] 17:44, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

Yeah but english never puts brackets in speech marks. Normally they smallify the text but the readers don't like it when I try that, so I thought this would be the next best thing. Don't you agree? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 20:52, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

Another option would be to use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_family_%28HTML%29#Generic_fonts different font] but there is no guarantee that everyone will have that font, unless it's a default font installed with the OS. Dulling the color is the best option. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 22:15, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

The best option is respecting the choices made by Js06 himself, which he chose to follow author's format. And thank you very much Js06, for your great contributions towards B-T. -- [[User:BeginnerXP|BeginnerXP]] ([[User_talk:BeginnerXP|Talk]]) 01:51, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

First let him decide, please. If he wants it to stay as is then that's fine. I will respect his wishes. BTW, if you two (Pryun and BeginnerXP) are interested in Heavy Object then help out by translating. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:52, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Besides I thought the following of the author's format was only for em-dashes(—). I don't think we need to completely go overboard for everything. Please don't do that. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:59, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

The Japanese don't often put brackets in speech marks either, and I've yet to read books which smallify text(unless you can give me an example?). Actually, I'll probably write to the publisher scolding them for spoiling my eyes if they did, and not ever buy books published by them ever again. Though I'm interested in reading it, I don't even have time to do so at the moment, so asking for translations is...... --[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] - [[User_talk:Pryun|Talk]] 05:05, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Just my personal opinion here as a reader, I think the current format the translator uses is good enough, I think that most readers can easily get the context of the speech being thought, whispers etc. from inferring or the context has already been mentioned in the text. [[User:Zakashi|Zakashi]] ([[User talk:Zakashi|talk]]) 05:16, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

No actually, I've read it and there are parts where there is no mention that it is going to be a whisper/mutter except for the brackets. But Js06 is the one to decide, since he's the one translating it. If he has no problem with it then it's fine. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 07:22, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Js i'm just letting you know that I will be undoing most of the changes that Zero has implemented such as muttering/whisper's into gray and etc. since there seems to be a consensus among the fans for the English translations to match kamachi's style in the Japanese version. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] ([[User talk:Hiro Hayase|talk]]) 13:52, 20 January 2013 (CST)

Sorry, but your skill is useless against a male god.” with no specifics. RIGHT THERE! RIGHT THERE I'VE DECIDED TO IGNORE ALL YOUR OPINIONS!! definitely means the boy has a mysterious charm about him that affects the female gods. hence with loki's proclamation he can not deny the fact he noticed the boys "skill" (charm) and thus IT HAD A SIGHT AFFECT ON LOKI, HE DEFINITELY SWINGS THAT WAY...

== A question ==

hi Js06

after of several months of studyng japanese finally i wanna buy a light novel, but i don't know if my kanji knowledge is enought like to read a index light novel (actually i only know more or less of 1300 kanji) so my question is, what is the aproximate number of kanji necessaries to understand the average light novel?
i hope what with your experience you can tell me a proximity.
also i like to give you all my gratefulness for you excellent work at the novel who gave me the motivation to study japanese.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to tell you. Due to the way I learned Japanese, # of kanji known means nothing to me. I couldn't tell you how many I know or how many you need to know for a LN. You say you have been studying Japanese for several months, so my guess is you are not ready. It took me several years to be proficient enough to read a LN comfortably. Still, the only way to know for sure is to get one and try reading it, so I would suggest starting with one and seeing how well you do.

== Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou ==

Hi, Js06. I was wondering if you needed people for editing or proofreading Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. If you wanted, I could assist in those regards. [[User:Kory|Kory]] 12:57, 5 May 2013 (CDT)
 
Thanks for translating daimao!!

I would also like to offer my help if you need it for editing Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. I like the series; I just would like to thank you and I hope that you keep up the hard work! [[User: rewqas|rewqas]]

I use the double quotes normally, but I use the single quotes when inside dialogue to avoid confusion with the double quotes around the dialogue. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 11:57, 26 May 2013 (CDT)

Can I ask if its okay to organize the chapters to 4 parts? that way the edits can be much more organize than going down an entire four-part chapter.
[[User:Koakuma|Koakuma]] ([[User talk:Koakuma|talk]]) 03:26, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

If you want. I'm not picky about the organization method. I will continue posting the chapters the way it is in the novel, but I don't mind if you organize it into parts afterwards. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 09:31, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

===Thought Dialogue===
For Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, I noticed there were a lot of hyphens before internal thought dialogues. I was kind of wondering if they were necessary - I thought they might be something that the Japanese text used to mark internal speech, but since in English italics (and sometimes single-quotes) are sufficient, I was wondering if you think it'd make a difference if I deleted them. -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 03:29, 23 May 2013 (CDT)

The original text uses the hyphens and I like to preserve the style of the original author as much as is possible without being too awkward in English. Personally, I see no real reason to remove the hyphens. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 12:16, 23 May 2013 (CDT)

the english language should replace epic with Js06. for ex. "That movie is epic!" ---> "That movie is Js06." you dont need to put a '!' cuz Js06 is already epic!.

Nope, don't do this. It's boring and cliched to the point of stupidity. I actually hope that Owari is just the first step for the awesome Js06 on the road to the Horizon translation. Especially since it's pretty much officially dead now and the previous translation is often kinda weird.

Uuuggh i think that he has enough maou with ichiban man (i hope). i would rather read tasogare anytime than another maou mc novel because of too much of it in BT. i also think he would stop at owari but who knows (i prefer if he doesn't thou)? But if you are looking for another project please do keep in mind mahou sensou or 俺がヒロインを助けすぎて世界がリトル黙示録!?. i really like the synopsis of those two books.

=== PAPA NO IUKOTO O KIKINASAI! ===

First of all, I would like to thank you for a doing a marvelous job with the Index series as I believe it must be a tedious process to translate a series of that caliber. On behalf of countless Index fans, you have my heartfelt appreciation.

I would like to make a humble request to ask you if you could take up this series as it has been idle for a very long time and your work with the translation of the Index series is the best I've seen so if it is not too much, could you please look into the series?
If you are in need of editors, a friend and I, among many others, are willing to offer our wholehearted cooperation.
I believe this series has all the components of a masterpiece. It is a good read and is also a pretty popular series as seen in a poll in a thread in the Baka-Tsuki forums titled "Papa No Iukoto O Kikinasai!"
https://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=4785&p=253143&hilit=papa#p253143

Thanks in advance and I wish you the best of luck for your future projects!

== Regarding Keywords in Index Volumes 9 & 10: 天文台 or Belvedere ==

Hello Js06. I have noticed that the current translations of Index Volumes 9 & 10 have the keywords of the arc literally translated instead of the part that is spoken. i.e. The base kanji is translated instead of the kana at the top. e.g. 追跡封じ is translated as 'tracking sealer' but is spoken as Route Disturb. This also goes for Shorthand and Croce di Pietro. I will go and fix these in my own time.
It is easy to find these literally translated terms as they have 'apostrophes' around them.

In the Volume 10 translation, in certain situations the word 'observatory' has apostrophes around it as well. Also, Index II episode 12 has the title 天文台, translated as 'astronomical observatory' but spoken as Belvedere. If you happen to have a copy, can you tell me if the word Belvedere is used in Volume 10 anywhere instead of observatory? It could explain why the word observatory has apostrophes around it. Or is the title an anime-only thing, with the apostrophes in text only there as an emphasis that the word is being used to describe something specific to the magic ritual.--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 01:21, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

The original novel only uses 天文台 with no furigana. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 11:39, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

Hm... so it was an anime-only thing? Thanks for the clarification. Also, is there any better place to bring up any translation queries with you other than your talk page?--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 21:30, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

== New Testament Volume 8 Preview ==

Dengeki has put up a 55 page preview of volume on their Toaru Summer campaign site. Mind doing something with it here? [http://dc-trial.dengeki.com/toaru/1308toaru_index8/?page=2] Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/108.208.102.9|108.208.102.9]] 08:14, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

: Couple questions regarding this sentence in the preview: ''Normally, Mikoto might have used her control over massive amounts of magnetism to rip the entire bunch up into the air and shout “Ventura, Ventura!!” while launching it high into the sky.''

: Is the phrase "entire bunch" correct? Given the context, it sounded like it was supposed to be "entire bench".

: And "Ventura, Ventura". I'm wondering if the original Japanese could also be read, "Bentora, Bentora". Using Google for the latter gets results, as it's part of some Japanese phrase related to UFOs. [[Special:Contributions/108.208.102.9|108.208.102.9]] 20:15, 27 August 2013 (CDT)

"Ventura, Ventura" or "Bentora, Bentora" is an Urusei Yatsura reference and it can be written either way. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 21:04, 27 August 2013 (CDT)

== Consultation on Fixing Non-js06-Translated Index Volumes ==

Hello again js06. I was looking at the earlier Index Volumes (1-13,SS1) and I have found that they are not up to scratch to what one would expect of a light novel translation (obviously not including your translations). A lot of the terms have been translated literally like in my above topic. There is little consistency in the terms used. Worst of all there are plenty of sentences throughout the volumes which are entirely capitalised. I am planning on starting from Volume 1 and try and fix things (including incorrect terminology and capitalised sentences) sometime later in the year. However, I do not actually have a physical copy of the earlier volumes so I have to rely on other methods of checking the original japanese (Manga Raws, Anime and Kanji on the Index Wikia).

I have found that the '''Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete Glossary''' is a good reference for translation. However, aside from the already translated and modified version on the wiki, I dont have access to the original scans so I can double check the translations and see which parts have been modified or reinterpreted by the wiki. '''Do you happen to have a link to these scans?''' (There was a statement on the page that you were the one who translated it.)

Lastly, I will inevitably run into problems when fixing up the translations and will require a more experienced translator with an actual copy to answer some more volume-specific questions (like the Belvedere issue above). '''Is it possible to consult you? If so, where would the best place to consult you be?''' Since I may build up a lot of small volume-specific questions, this talk page may not be ideal. '''Is there a better way of sending you questions on this matter?'''

If this is all too much of a hassle, please let me know. But the glossary scans would be incredibly helpful.--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 06:59, 1 September 2013 (CDT)

First of all: thanks for your great wirk. Secondly: Good work with the finding of the correct writing for most of the historical figures. Sadly, I see that you repeatedly write the Tres Españian siblings [first] surname as "Valdes", while the correct writing would have been either "Valdez" or "Valdés" ("Valdés" in this case, since the historical figure they are named after is an official from the Armada Invencible whose name is recorded as "Pedro de Valdés").--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 05:23, 6 October 2013 (CDT)

Thanks for picking up Horizon 2A/3A, just want to let you know that your work is very much appreciated!

I've seen San Mercado's Japanese rendition translated as "Pure Metropolis". 大市 can mean either "big city" (metrópolis) or "big market". Given that 1)it's a brand and 2)"mercado" means "market", I'd say it should be translated as something like "big market", "central market", or even "supermarket". Translated into English from current Spanish it means "Saint Market", but in ancient Spanish "San Mercado" or "Santo Mercado" was closer in meaning to "Sacred Market". My dictionary gives me 清らか as "clean, pure, chaste". Looking at English synonyms, personally I'd translate 清らか大市 as "virtuous market", "unblemished mart" or something of the like.--~~

Yes, 市 certainly means "market" in this case. As for 清らか, "unblemished" or "pure" would be closest to the meaning of the Japanese word. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 23:05, 14 December 2013 (CST)

That would be Ohiroshiki. It comes from the fact that he claims to worship life/youth. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 18:52, 25 December 2013 (CST)

Just a question. You translate Hexagone Française's word for gods of war as ''Lourd de Marionette'', but taking into account that ''Marionette'' is feminine and automatons are ''Belle de Marionette'', shouldn't it be ''Lourde de Marionette''? I don't have access to the original text, but it should be easy to ascertain from there since ''lourd'' would be ルール, while ''lourde'' would be ルールド, or something like that (last "d" is silent unless a silent "e" is added).--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 06:06, 29 September 2014 (CDT)

== Appreciation + Monogatari ==

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate you translating Index and bringing me into the world of Light Novels. I even got some friends into LNs thanks to you. I've been following the Index LNs since NT3 and would daily check for your translations after a new novel gets released. It seems like there aren't any LN translators as quick and high quality as you so it makes me realize how lucky I am to be a huge index fan, I will honestly be depressed for a long time the day you stop translating the series (well, lets hope the series ends before that). I'm also starting to check out your other work too. So yeah, I really really appreciate it and hope you keep up the great work. Thank you!

On a side note: Monogatari Second Season ended recently and made me (and I'm sure many others) hungry for more. It seems like you lost interest in the series 9 months ago, and I don't blame you as I also lost interest in the series until I decided to marathon Second Season after it ended. It definitely blew my expectations away, so if you haven't already seen it I suggest you do as I'm sure you'll also love it. If you have already seen it, and you ever do feel like continuing to translate the LNs, would you please start translating from Final Season? Since there are only 4 novels to translate as opposed to 13, with 9 having been adapted into anime and would make your work load a lot smaller.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope I could encourage you to keep on translating LNs if even a tiny bit longer. - 5:37, 28 January 2014 (MST)

== A couple questions regarding the term "The World" used in Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament - Volume 9 ==

First of all js06, I just wanted to say thanks for going through all the work in translating the Toaru series (and many others) for us railgun/index fans who aren't very proficient in japanese. Now, as for the topic.... Myself and a few people I know have gotten into a little debate about how strong Othiinus really is. Some think her power to add filters is limited to the earth alone, while others think that she can effect the whole universe. To get to the point, I was a bit curious as to exactly what word was used to when the novel said that the world had ended, an exact example being this snippet from Othinus, ('''"Othinus shrugged. “Listen. The world has ended. It does not matter how. It is gone.'''")....I know that Japanese can be kind of wonkey and words can have multiple meanings, for instance, "hoshi" can mean both star and planet. So, throughout the novel what Kanji was used to refer to "the world" being destroyed, and in your opinion, what meaning did that kanji have in the context of the novel (basically, was it referring to "earth" or the "universe" when Othinus destroyed and recreated the world). Thanks in advance, and sorry for such an odd question.

She uses the word 世界(sekai) which is just as ambiguous as the English word "world". It can refer to the planet or the universe. Based on context, the meaning of universe is most likely, though. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 10:49, 8 February 2014 (CST)

Hi, Js. We are just another TAMNI translation group. And we deal with Bahasa. Right now, we're still in progress of NT Vol 3 and found out really ambiguous paragraph that confusing us down. Let's to the point.

You're given free rein to complete the later volumes (except for NT Vol 2, since I don't know how many people will be 'crazy' enough to do that), including the incomplete ones. The other translators won't be working on it anyway.

Also, I might recruit you to do some of the earlier volumes (after the later volumes are complete). Nah, just kidding. I'll prefer that you work on the other side stories first, but that's your choice.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 10:14, 22 May 2011 (UCT)

I can't answer you through PM, so I'll just post this here. I've unlocked all the chapters for volume 1, except for prologue and afterword which you did. You can redo the other chapters, including chapter 1 and epilogue which I did. Just remember that people are also complaining about poor translations from 7-13, and I did 7-11. At the worst case scenario, you'll be asked to retranslate 7-13. (And as for the consistent translations thing, there's NT1 and NT4.) Bottom line, just tell me what needs rework, and I'll see if we'll proceed with the Index retranslations.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 23:18, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

For now, I'm really only considering 1 and maybe 12-13 after that. What I'm mainly concerned about are accuracy issues since they can't be corrected in editing, and from what I've seen of your translations, that isn't really an issue. Also, I'm not really too concerned with the consistency issue for NT. I'm only stressing it with 1 because people have brought it up and because I like the idea of having the 1st book a lot of people read in the series read as nice as possible. [[User:Js06|Js06]] 23:46, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

Can't argue with that. Good to have a good start. Ah, and tell those guys on 4chan that I'll be redoing 12 and 13, starting from June.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 23:49, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

Hello. I wanted to check if you are planning to re-translate volume 13 of Index? I noticed that you indicated on Teh Ping's talk page that you were intending to re-translate/edit v12-13, and that after finishing v12 you started on the first chapter of v13. I have been reading through the series and editing the narrative of the older volumes into the past tense. I will be reaching volume 13 soon, but converting that volume to the past tense would be meaningless if you are planning to do a more thorough edit or a re-translation in the near future. Thanks for all your translations, [[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 19:44, 27 February 2013 (CST)

I plan to retranslating Volume 13 eventually. I plan to finish translating Kamachi's other novels first though, so it might be a few months before I get back to it. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 19:48, 27 February 2013 (CST)

Hello, I am planning to do an edit through all chapters of Index for consistency in word choice, formatting, and terminology in the next few weeks. My proposed changes are listed on [[User_talk:Cthaeh|my talk page]] if you'd like to look them over. In particular, I'd appreciate it if you could look at the first collapsible box ("Major edits") when you get a chance, as it contains quite a few things that I could use your help or advice on. Or let me know if there are any other changes you'd like me to make to take advantage of the fact I'm editing the entire series at once. Thank you, --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 18:46, 29 August 2013 (CDT)

Thank you for your help and comments. I have rearranged the list to emphasize the last few things I could still use help on (at the top of the "Major Edits" box). One place I'd like your opinion on in particular is whether or not to change the capitalization of terms such as ITEM (vs Item). --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 19:30, 30 August 2013 (CDT)

Hello, I'm new and didn't know where to put this. I made an account just to thank you on your demon king translations. Thanks for your hard work!

Hey JS. First, I want to thank you for all the amazing work you have done so far. Second, I would like to ask for permission to do an audio book version of some of your series. As you may be aware, there is an ongoing project to turn some of the LN into audio books for the baka-tsuki youtube account. After some discussion on the forums, a point was brought up that when possible, we should seek the permission of the translators to do this. So, here I am, asking if it would be fine to do an audio book from the Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou series. Please let me know when you can! --[[User:No1atall|No1atall]] ([[User talk:No1atall|talk]]) 20:40, 1 July 2014

Hi! Thank you for your contributions to the translating community! I'm posting to ask for your help in translating a light novel. Try reading Mokushiroku Arisu. Even if you don't decide to help translate it, the plot should be an extremely enjoyable read! [[User: Futon Lord|Futon Lord]] ([[User talk:Futon Lord|talk]]) 20:40, 5 October 2014

== Square Brackts for [GROUP]? ==
Hey Js06. I've been editing the previously-translated parts of Volume 15, and I was wondering: Joay left a lot of terms in brackets like [GROUP] and the like. Should I just remove all of those? Also, if you can, please check some sentences that I've commented on to make sure they stay close enough to the original: I was kinda grasping at straws when trying to make them make sense in English. [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 21:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

The brackets around GROUP were probably meant to emulate the Japanese-style quotation marks 『』 used in the novels, but they aren't really necessary. The Japanese like to put things in quotation marks to distinguish them in the same way capitalizing the word is sometimes used in English (e.g. Esper names like Meltdowner and AIM Stalker are put in quotes in the novels.) I used to puts things in quotes excessively in my translations because I was copying the Japanese usage, but I stopped recently.
I'll look over the changes you mentioned later today. Thanks for your work. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 22:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll finish where it left off, just continue on with the later volumes.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 10:47, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Present Tenses vs. Past Tense? ==
Looking at your SS2 translations, I realized that you're doing them in past tense as opposed to present tense like you use in the other novels. Is the original material in past tense, or did you decide to start using more past tense? I do understand that the stories seem to have occurred before volume 16; is that why they're in past tense? It sounds more natural this way, but do we need to keep consistency with the other novels? [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 16:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

What? I've always used the past tense in my translations here. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 17:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoops! Sorry. I've been editing the other portions of volume 15 too long, and they're all blurring together in my head. Never mind then. I guess I should put those in past tense to match? (argh; so much work!) [[User:CarVac|CarVac]] 17:18, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I thought that we were to aim for present tense usage and only use past tense where necessary? ([[To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index:Names_and_Terminology_Guideline#Narrative_Tenses]])

Thanks a lot! I keep following your work on To Aru. I am waiting for the next volume.

I just wanted to say thanks for the great work you're doing on To Aru. Thanks to you (and all the others who are not translating it anymore) I can read this great story.

I too wants to thank you for translating those last chapters. Good job!

Thanks a lot for translating Heavy Object.

I can't thank you enough for all the great work you're doing on Baka-Tsuki. I was already happy with ''To Aru'' and ''Heavy Object''; but now you're even doing ''Bakemonogatari''!! I'm so happy. Thanks a lot.--[[User:MaerisCrisis|MaerisCrisis]] 04:18, 25 February 2012 (CST)

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for putting so much work into all that translating for To Aru. I think you're the only one still translating, but you do it so fast and it still comes out well. Thanks to you we can read TaMnI without learning Japanese! Thanks! You're an awesome person!

[[User:Turtleman579|Turtleman579]] 22:41, 30 January 2012 (CST)

Thanks a lot for translating Heavy Object - I've really enjoyed the series and the work you've done. Am slowly making my way through To Aru as well, and again, I'm thankful you and other translators have so graciously dedicated their time to helping share/translate these captivating stories with those of us who can't read Japanese at all.

== Side Stories ==

Hello Js06, Thanks for getting around to and translating "A Certain Prophecy Index" side story. I was looking through some of Haimura Kiyotaka's official artwork and I could be wrong but I spotted an image that looks like its part of another side story (http://railgun0aria.pixnet.net/album/photo/142464681). Tried to find more about it with little luck, was hoping you tell whether it's part of a story or just an illustration. Thanks for everything you're the best!
--[[User:Nonus|Nonus]] 10:50, 31 January 2013 (EDT)

Hey Js06, this is kinda a follow-up from the message above. Long story short, [[Ore_no_Imōto_ga_Konna_ni_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai:Volume_3_Chapter_4]] was completed a while ago, but only because an anon IP copy-pasted from NanoDesu's translations, which he reverted just a bit earlier.

== Kakine's "mukatsuita" ==

Hello Js06! :)

I'm [mailto:dorothy@marheavenj.net Dorothy], nice to meet you!
I'm sorry to bother (and forgive me for my bad English), I'm writing because I have a question about Kakine Teitoku (from Toaru Majutsu no Index vol.15)'s phrase...
I was updating a site I dedicated to [http://www.marheavenj.net/mischievous/ him] and writing his profile, I found a difficult...
The phrase is ムカついたかよ、チンピラ , so, could "mukatsuita" be intended as "you pissed me off"? I always found it translated as "that hurt", but isn't it more like "You offended me" that "you pissed me off?"? I'm confused about it... and I'm not an expert of Japanese, so I prefered to ask to you! >_< Thank you so much for your job, you really are a manna from heaven!! :) 1:22, 08 June, 2012.

You are correct. ムカついた is the past tense of the verb ムカつく which (in common usage) means "to be irritated" or "to be pissed off". - [[User:Js06|Js06]] 19:34, 7 June 2012 (CDT)

== Heavy Object ==

Hi Js06, thanks for your translation of Heavy Object. For volume 3 chapter 2, someone changed the value of the distance to the UAV from 1900m to 2900m, so I would like to ask if you can double check if the new value is the correct value. Thank you. :D [[User:Zakashi|Zakashi]] 04:44, 22 July 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the heads up. This was my mistake, though. The text clearly says 2900. I must have either misread it or mistyped it. [[User:Js06|Js06]] 13:25, 22 July 2012 (CDT)

Hello. I guess it's about time, the progress has has reached that far, so... Would you like me to create a Heavy Object Nav template like I have for many other projects? (The links are available on my User page). [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 21:54, 23 August 2012 (CDT)

You can if you want, but it honestly doesn't matter that much to me. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 20:20, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

I've implemented the [[Template:HEAVYOBJECT Nav|new nav template]] and optimized your text for the web (thus reducing total size of the pages). Now with the new template the navigation has levelled up (it'll be much smoother now) and with the removal of all that waste space the pages will load much faster. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 13:08, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

Hey Js06. I have a request. Can I change the formatting of the "(whisper/mutter)" to "whisper/mutter" or "whisper/mutter". The format is better that way since the DimGray or DarkSlateGray color gives the feeling that the person is speaking in a low voice as compared to the normal black color. Plus, brackets inside speech marks is somehow wierd. So, can I? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:57, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

If you like. I'm just copying the format Kamachi uses. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 16:34, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

If that's the format Kamachi uses, I'd recommend it not be changed. --[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] - [[User_talk:Pryun|Talk]] 17:44, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

Yeah but english never puts brackets in speech marks. Normally they smallify the text but the readers don't like it when I try that, so I thought this would be the next best thing. Don't you agree? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 20:52, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

Another option would be to use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_family_%28HTML%29#Generic_fonts different font] but there is no guarantee that everyone will have that font, unless it's a default font installed with the OS. Dulling the color is the best option. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 22:15, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

The best option is respecting the choices made by Js06 himself, which he chose to follow author's format. And thank you very much Js06, for your great contributions towards B-T. -- [[User:BeginnerXP|BeginnerXP]] ([[User_talk:BeginnerXP|Talk]]) 01:51, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

First let him decide, please. If he wants it to stay as is then that's fine. I will respect his wishes. BTW, if you two (Pryun and BeginnerXP) are interested in Heavy Object then help out by translating. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:52, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Besides I thought the following of the author's format was only for em-dashes(—). I don't think we need to completely go overboard for everything. Please don't do that. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:59, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

The Japanese don't often put brackets in speech marks either, and I've yet to read books which smallify text(unless you can give me an example?). Actually, I'll probably write to the publisher scolding them for spoiling my eyes if they did, and not ever buy books published by them ever again. Though I'm interested in reading it, I don't even have time to do so at the moment, so asking for translations is...... --[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] - [[User_talk:Pryun|Talk]] 05:05, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Just my personal opinion here as a reader, I think the current format the translator uses is good enough, I think that most readers can easily get the context of the speech being thought, whispers etc. from inferring or the context has already been mentioned in the text. [[User:Zakashi|Zakashi]] ([[User talk:Zakashi|talk]]) 05:16, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

No actually, I've read it and there are parts where there is no mention that it is going to be a whisper/mutter except for the brackets. But Js06 is the one to decide, since he's the one translating it. If he has no problem with it then it's fine. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 07:22, 20 September 2012 (CDT)

Js i'm just letting you know that I will be undoing most of the changes that Zero has implemented such as muttering/whisper's into gray and etc. since there seems to be a consensus among the fans for the English translations to match kamachi's style in the Japanese version. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] ([[User talk:Hiro Hayase|talk]]) 13:52, 20 January 2013 (CST)

Sorry, but your skill is useless against a male god.” with no specifics. RIGHT THERE! RIGHT THERE I'VE DECIDED TO IGNORE ALL YOUR OPINIONS!! definitely means the boy has a mysterious charm about him that affects the female gods. hence with loki's proclamation he can not deny the fact he noticed the boys "skill" (charm) and thus IT HAD A SIGHT AFFECT ON LOKI, HE DEFINITELY SWINGS THAT WAY...

== A question ==

hi Js06

after of several months of studyng japanese finally i wanna buy a light novel, but i don't know if my kanji knowledge is enought like to read a index light novel (actually i only know more or less of 1300 kanji) so my question is, what is the aproximate number of kanji necessaries to understand the average light novel?
i hope what with your experience you can tell me a proximity.
also i like to give you all my gratefulness for you excellent work at the novel who gave me the motivation to study japanese.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to tell you. Due to the way I learned Japanese, # of kanji known means nothing to me. I couldn't tell you how many I know or how many you need to know for a LN. You say you have been studying Japanese for several months, so my guess is you are not ready. It took me several years to be proficient enough to read a LN comfortably. Still, the only way to know for sure is to get one and try reading it, so I would suggest starting with one and seeing how well you do.

Hi, Js06. I was wondering if you needed people for editing or proofreading Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. If you wanted, I could assist in those regards. [[User:Kory|Kory]] 12:57, 5 May 2013 (CDT)
 
Thanks for translating daimao!!

I would also like to offer my help if you need it for editing Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. I like the series; I just would like to thank you and I hope that you keep up the hard work! [[User: rewqas|rewqas]]

I use the double quotes normally, but I use the single quotes when inside dialogue to avoid confusion with the double quotes around the dialogue. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 11:57, 26 May 2013 (CDT)

Can I ask if its okay to organize the chapters to 4 parts? that way the edits can be much more organize than going down an entire four-part chapter.
[[User:Koakuma|Koakuma]] ([[User talk:Koakuma|talk]]) 03:26, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

If you want. I'm not picky about the organization method. I will continue posting the chapters the way it is in the novel, but I don't mind if you organize it into parts afterwards. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 09:31, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

===Thought Dialogue===
For Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, I noticed there were a lot of hyphens before internal thought dialogues. I was kind of wondering if they were necessary - I thought they might be something that the Japanese text used to mark internal speech, but since in English italics (and sometimes single-quotes) are sufficient, I was wondering if you think it'd make a difference if I deleted them. -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 03:29, 23 May 2013 (CDT)

The original text uses the hyphens and I like to preserve the style of the original author as much as is possible without being too awkward in English. Personally, I see no real reason to remove the hyphens. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 12:16, 23 May 2013 (CDT)

the english language should replace epic with Js06. for ex. "That movie is epic!" ---> "That movie is Js06." you dont need to put a '!' cuz Js06 is already epic!.

Nope, don't do this. It's boring and cliched to the point of stupidity. I actually hope that Owari is just the first step for the awesome Js06 on the road to the Horizon translation. Especially since it's pretty much officially dead now and the previous translation is often kinda weird.

Uuuggh i think that he has enough maou with ichiban man (i hope). i would rather read tasogare anytime than another maou mc novel because of too much of it in BT. i also think he would stop at owari but who knows (i prefer if he doesn't thou)? But if you are looking for another project please do keep in mind mahou sensou or 俺がヒロインを助けすぎて世界がリトル黙示録!?. i really like the synopsis of those two books. U should try reading it first and if you like it i do hope you tln it if you want. i feel so ashamed but for the sake of interesting novels i have to be thick faced.

especially on kawakami novel, thanks alot for taking it...now, on the main point. if you ever taking a new project can you consider taking this, it has the same atmosphere as to aru and i think it would fit your taste, since it is similar to icbiban...thanks.

=== PAPA NO IUKOTO O KIKINASAI! ===

First of all, I would like to thank you for a doing a marvelous job with the Index series as I believe it must be a tedious process to translate a series of that caliber. On behalf of countless Index fans, you have my heartfelt appreciation.

I would like to make a humble request to ask you if you could take up this series as it has been idle for a very long time and your work with the translation of the Index series is the best I've seen so if it is not too much, could you please look into the series?
If you are in need of editors, a friend and I, among many others, are willing to offer our wholehearted cooperation.
I believe this series has all the components of a masterpiece. It is a good read and is also a pretty popular series as seen in a poll in a thread in the Baka-Tsuki forums titled "Papa No Iukoto O Kikinasai!"
https://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=4785&p=253143&hilit=papa#p253143

So, I hope that, if time permits, you could consider my request to bring this project back to life!
Thanks in advance and I wish you the best of luck for your future projects!

== Regarding Keywords in Index Volumes 9 & 10: 天文台 or Belvedere ==

Hello Js06. I have noticed that the current translations of Index Volumes 9 & 10 have the keywords of the arc literally translated instead of the part that is spoken. i.e. The base kanji is translated instead of the kana at the top. e.g. 追跡封じ is translated as 'tracking sealer' but is spoken as Route Disturb. This also goes for Shorthand and Croce di Pietro. I will go and fix these in my own time.
It is easy to find these literally translated terms as they have 'apostrophes' around them.

In the Volume 10 translation, in certain situations the word 'observatory' has apostrophes around it as well. Also, Index II episode 12 has the title 天文台, translated as 'astronomical observatory' but spoken as Belvedere. If you happen to have a copy, can you tell me if the word Belvedere is used in Volume 10 anywhere instead of observatory? It could explain why the word observatory has apostrophes around it. Or is the title an anime-only thing, with the apostrophes in text only there as an emphasis that the word is being used to describe something specific to the magic ritual.--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 01:21, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

The original novel only uses 天文台 with no furigana. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 11:39, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

Hm... so it was an anime-only thing? Thanks for the clarification. Also, is there any better place to bring up any translation queries with you other than your talk page?--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 21:30, 5 August 2013 (CDT)

== New Testament Volume 8 Preview ==

Dengeki has put up a 55 page preview of volume on their Toaru Summer campaign site. Mind doing something with it here? [http://dc-trial.dengeki.com/toaru/1308toaru_index8/?page=2] Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/108.208.102.9|108.208.102.9]] 08:14, 26 August 2013 (CDT)

: Couple questions regarding this sentence in the preview: ''Normally, Mikoto might have used her control over massive amounts of magnetism to rip the entire bunch up into the air and shout “Ventura, Ventura!!” while launching it high into the sky.''

: Is the phrase "entire bunch" correct? Given the context, it sounded like it was supposed to be "entire bench".

: And "Ventura, Ventura". I'm wondering if the original Japanese could also be read, "Bentora, Bentora". Using Google for the latter gets results, as it's part of some Japanese phrase related to UFOs. [[Special:Contributions/108.208.102.9|108.208.102.9]] 20:15, 27 August 2013 (CDT)

"Ventura, Ventura" or "Bentora, Bentora" is an Urusei Yatsura reference and it can be written either way. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 21:04, 27 August 2013 (CDT)

== Consultation on Fixing Non-js06-Translated Index Volumes ==

Hello again js06. I was looking at the earlier Index Volumes (1-13,SS1) and I have found that they are not up to scratch to what one would expect of a light novel translation (obviously not including your translations). A lot of the terms have been translated literally like in my above topic. There is little consistency in the terms used. Worst of all there are plenty of sentences throughout the volumes which are entirely capitalised. I am planning on starting from Volume 1 and try and fix things (including incorrect terminology and capitalised sentences) sometime later in the year. However, I do not actually have a physical copy of the earlier volumes so I have to rely on other methods of checking the original japanese (Manga Raws, Anime and Kanji on the Index Wikia).

I have found that the '''Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete Glossary''' is a good reference for translation. However, aside from the already translated and modified version on the wiki, I dont have access to the original scans so I can double check the translations and see which parts have been modified or reinterpreted by the wiki. '''Do you happen to have a link to these scans?''' (There was a statement on the page that you were the one who translated it.)

Lastly, I will inevitably run into problems when fixing up the translations and will require a more experienced translator with an actual copy to answer some more volume-specific questions (like the Belvedere issue above). '''Is it possible to consult you? If so, where would the best place to consult you be?''' Since I may build up a lot of small volume-specific questions, this talk page may not be ideal. '''Is there a better way of sending you questions on this matter?'''

If this is all too much of a hassle, please let me know. But the glossary scans would be incredibly helpful.--[[User:OH&S|OH&S]] ([[User talk:OH&S|talk]]) 06:59, 1 September 2013 (CDT)

First of all: thanks for your great wirk. Secondly: Good work with the finding of the correct writing for most of the historical figures. Sadly, I see that you repeatedly write the Tres Españian siblings [first] surname as "Valdes", while the correct writing would have been either "Valdez" or "Valdés" ("Valdés" in this case, since the historical figure they are named after is an official from the Armada Invencible whose name is recorded as "Pedro de Valdés").--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 05:23, 6 October 2013 (CDT)

Thanks for picking up Horizon 2A/3A, just want to let you know that your work is very much appreciated!

I've seen San Mercado's Japanese rendition translated as "Pure Metropolis". 大市 can mean either "big city" (metrópolis) or "big market". Given that 1)it's a brand and 2)"mercado" means "market", I'd say it should be translated as something like "big market", "central market", or even "supermarket". Translated into English from current Spanish it means "Saint Market", but in ancient Spanish "San Mercado" or "Santo Mercado" was closer in meaning to "Sacred Market". My dictionary gives me 清らか as "clean, pure, chaste". Looking at English synonyms, personally I'd translate 清らか大市 as "virtuous market", "unblemished mart" or something of the like.--~~

Yes, 市 certainly means "market" in this case. As for 清らか, "unblemished" or "pure" would be closest to the meaning of the Japanese word. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 23:05, 14 December 2013 (CST)

First of all...thx for the great work on horizon...i just meaning to ask something...on 3-A chapter 11 there is handle name named worshipper, just curious, whose handle name is that, since i couldnt find it in wiki and translate it to jap dont seem to reveal whose handle name it is...thx

That would be Ohiroshiki. It comes from the fact that he claims to worship life/youth. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 18:52, 25 December 2013 (CST)

Just a question. You translate Hexagone Française's word for gods of war as ''Lourd de Marionette'', but taking into account that ''Marionette'' is feminine and automatons are ''Belle de Marionette'', shouldn't it be ''Lourde de Marionette''? I don't have access to the original text, but it should be easy to ascertain from there since ''lourd'' would be ルール, while ''lourde'' would be ルールド, or something like that (last "d" is silent unless a silent "e" is added).--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 06:06, 29 September 2014 (CDT)

I really find it strange that after such a seemingly deep investigation he made a mistake like that; but if we take into account that the "de" on both names,as far as I know, shouldn't be there...

== Appreciation + Monogatari ==

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate you translating Index and bringing me into the world of Light Novels. I even got some friends into LNs thanks to you. I've been following the Index LNs since NT3 and would daily check for your translations after a new novel gets released. It seems like there aren't any LN translators as quick and high quality as you so it makes me realize how lucky I am to be a huge index fan, I will honestly be depressed for a long time the day you stop translating the series (well, lets hope the series ends before that). I'm also starting to check out your other work too. So yeah, I really really appreciate it and hope you keep up the great work. Thank you!

On a side note: Monogatari Second Season ended recently and made me (and I'm sure many others) hungry for more. It seems like you lost interest in the series 9 months ago, and I don't blame you as I also lost interest in the series until I decided to marathon Second Season after it ended. It definitely blew my expectations away, so if you haven't already seen it I suggest you do as I'm sure you'll also love it. If you have already seen it, and you ever do feel like continuing to translate the LNs, would you please start translating from Final Season? Since there are only 4 novels to translate as opposed to 13, with 9 having been adapted into anime and would make your work load a lot smaller.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope I could encourage you to keep on translating LNs if even a tiny bit longer. - 5:37, 28 January 2014 (MST)

== A couple questions regarding the term "The World" used in Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament - Volume 9 ==

First of all js06, I just wanted to say thanks for going through all the work in translating the Toaru series (and many others) for us railgun/index fans who aren't very proficient in japanese. Now, as for the topic.... Myself and a few people I know have gotten into a little debate about how strong Othiinus really is. Some think her power to add filters is limited to the earth alone, while others think that she can effect the whole universe. To get to the point, I was a bit curious as to exactly what word was used to when the novel said that the world had ended, an exact example being this snippet from Othinus, ('''"Othinus shrugged. “Listen. The world has ended. It does not matter how. It is gone.'''")....I know that Japanese can be kind of wonkey and words can have multiple meanings, for instance, "hoshi" can mean both star and planet. So, throughout the novel what Kanji was used to refer to "the world" being destroyed, and in your opinion, what meaning did that kanji have in the context of the novel (basically, was it referring to "earth" or the "universe" when Othinus destroyed and recreated the world). Thanks in advance, and sorry for such an odd question.

She uses the word 世界(sekai) which is just as ambiguous as the English word "world". It can refer to the planet or the universe. Based on context, the meaning of universe is most likely, though. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 10:49, 8 February 2014 (CST)
