Skullheart: /* Kokoro Connect */

== Kokoro Connect ==
Thank you so much for translating Kokoro Connect :D especially since the Chinese translation for Volumes 6 and beyond has been repetitively dropped by translators. Will you also be translating the other short stories, or are you only doing Date x Date x Date for now? -- [[User:MCsq2|MCsq2]] ([[User_talk:MCsq2|Talk]])
Could you please provide a percentage of completion (or page fraction) for 4.5 chapter 1?--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:09, 30 June 2013 (CDT)

I'd like to be an editor for Kokoro Connect. Is that alright with you? Thanks, [[User:Ruby Halo|Ruby Halo]] ([[User talk:Ruby Halo|talk]]) 04:44, 20 June 2014 (CDT)

Go ahead, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people working on it [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

== a humble request ==

dear skullheart:
first of all i wish to thank you for your work so far on the kokoro connect translation project. you are doing a good and important job, and i am thankful for that.
secondly, a request: as a fan of kokoro connect who is no able to read the untranslated novels, i couldn't help but notice that the fifth volume of the series isn't translated yet, while the sixth volume is already half completed, and also some of the side-stories. thus, i wish to ask (beg if you wish) that after you complete your current translation project, you would consider helping to progress with the translation of the fifth volume, an action that would bring joy to the lives of every kokoro connect fan, including yours truly.
another humble (though i do not know if it really as easy to fulfill as i think and hope), is that the incredible crew of translators would take some of their valuable time to create a .MOBI version of the completed volumes, and by thus helping the owners of ebook devices to read the novels at greater ease.
and lastly, i wish to thank you once again for your amazing job, and only pray that the task of translating the series would continue easily and quickly
god-speed and good luck
yours truly
trickyni[nonexistent]
p.s: regardless of your opinion, i would appropriate it if you would take your time to answer me (though you dont need to write such a long and boreing letter yourself...)

----
Reply: I'm sort of tied by the rules of this wiki since there are already two 'author' for volume 5 and one of them completed a chapter and they are using translation from Chinese Sources. For the side stories since they are inactive for so long I will finish them after volume 6 gets finished because they don't add to the plot that much except for pentagon++ which does say how the new members join. I don't like leaving an entire volume incomplete so I will try to finish yume random as soon as possible. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

== Thank you! ==

I just want to thank you for keep working with Kokoro Connect! Thank you very much!

== Another humble request. ==

First, I want to start by thanking you for your work on Kokoro Connect. After that, I will be quite hesitant on asking, because I am unsure whether my request is possible (for a variety of reasons), but I wish to ask for the untranslated Japanese version of Kokoro Connect Chapter 1, Volume 1. Since you are the main Translator, I imagine you do have it. The reason for that, unfortunately isn't anything close to translation, since my knowledge is too limited... But I am currently learning, and I would like to have some good measure of my skills (which are currently undoubtedly minor), but my learning rate as well. I wish for that to be in a more official format, on the level of actual novel text, in order to know what I might face in the future (translating is a very interesting prospect for me). The reason I am hesitant, is because I am unsure of copyright restrictions on untranslated novel text (isn't really made clear on the forums, nor here), and whether you are allowed to distribute it as such. I would really be pleased if that was possible, since working on likeable content is always more motivating, and having a translation of it will probably work well too. If for some reason my request is unreasonable, I take it back, but would otherwise really be content with any amount of text I could get my hands on. Since I don't really need it for reading, but only as a sample, I don't need more than a chapter (though I wouldn't deny more). Of course any commercial use is out of the question. I look forward to getting a reply, positive or not.

Sorry, but I have it as a book and will not scan it and upload it. There might be one around the internet for raw light novels. There might differences between the translated version here and the actual japanese text because volume 1 was translated from the chinese translation and by someone else. But overall it is a lot better to read from the original. There is a lot of things that cannot be translated into english from japanese.

[[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

I see. Thank you very much for the response (and proof that the translation isn't completely abandoned, since you are present and do care about Baka-Tsuki notifications). I would only like to ask which part was translated directly from Japanese, in order to know which is the closest possible to the original, because even if there are some untranslatable parts, I want to be sure they are due to the Japanese form, and not some Chinese in-between. Again thank you for giving replying to me, making it much easier for me to know where to turn to.

[[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 06:46, 28 November 2013 (CST)

All of my translations are from the japanese and the chinese versions were never used. Some of the other translator used the chinese version and has a differences from the japanese version. One thing is like for the second chapter of the first volume the title is a bit different from how I read it in japanese. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

Thank you very much for your time. I managed to find a raw, but my knowledge of Kanji is jsut too low for me to practically read any. After the first couple of lines, my comprehension crumbled. I am currently learning just that, so with some more months of practice I hope to at least be able to read. For now, there is no point in giving it too much effort. Your help with the matter was the catalyst I needed to get it going a bit. Thank you again, and I hope to see the translations going, because I will probably need it :P. Good luck.

== PDF files ==

Firstly, I must say thank you for the time you spend in translating "Kokoro Connect"... I now start to read it in volt 1. But I can't help but to ask whether you can please to reupload the PDF files... all of it now gone from 4shared because of content infringement(they say). And again... thank you for your time...

Sorry, I don't have any of the pdf files for Kokoro Connect since I don't really read the translated version. I think the PDF may probably be copyright infringement so only way is to copy the text from the bakapage and make it into a pdf on words.

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Skullheart: /* PDF files */

== Kokoro Connect ==
Thank you so much for translating Kokoro Connect :D especially since the Chinese translation for Volumes 6 and beyond has been repetitively dropped by translators. Will you also be translating the other short stories, or are you only doing Date x Date x Date for now? -- [[User:MCsq2|MCsq2]] ([[User_talk:MCsq2|Talk]])
Could you please provide a percentage of completion (or page fraction) for 4.5 chapter 1?--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:09, 30 June 2013 (CDT)

== a humble request ==

dear skullheart:
first of all i wish to thank you for your work so far on the kokoro connect translation project. you are doing a good and important job, and i am thankful for that.
secondly, a request: as a fan of kokoro connect who is no able to read the untranslated novels, i couldn't help but notice that the fifth volume of the series isn't translated yet, while the sixth volume is already half completed, and also some of the side-stories. thus, i wish to ask (beg if you wish) that after you complete your current translation project, you would consider helping to progress with the translation of the fifth volume, an action that would bring joy to the lives of every kokoro connect fan, including yours truly.
another humble (though i do not know if it really as easy to fulfill as i think and hope), is that the incredible crew of translators would take some of their valuable time to create a .MOBI version of the completed volumes, and by thus helping the owners of ebook devices to read the novels at greater ease.
and lastly, i wish to thank you once again for your amazing job, and only pray that the task of translating the series would continue easily and quickly
god-speed and good luck
yours truly
trickyni[nonexistent]
p.s: regardless of your opinion, i would appropriate it if you would take your time to answer me (though you dont need to write such a long and boreing letter yourself...)

----
Reply: I'm sort of tied by the rules of this wiki since there are already two 'author' for volume 5 and one of them completed a chapter and they are using translation from Chinese Sources. For the side stories since they are inactive for so long I will finish them after volume 6 gets finished because they don't add to the plot that much except for pentagon++ which does say how the new members join. I don't like leaving an entire volume incomplete so I will try to finish yume random as soon as possible. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

== Thank you! ==

I just want to thank you for keep working with Kokoro Connect! Thank you very much!

== Another humble request. ==

First, I want to start by thanking you for your work on Kokoro Connect. After that, I will be quite hesitant on asking, because I am unsure whether my request is possible (for a variety of reasons), but I wish to ask for the untranslated Japanese version of Kokoro Connect Chapter 1, Volume 1. Since you are the main Translator, I imagine you do have it. The reason for that, unfortunately isn't anything close to translation, since my knowledge is too limited... But I am currently learning, and I would like to have some good measure of my skills (which are currently undoubtedly minor), but my learning rate as well. I wish for that to be in a more official format, on the level of actual novel text, in order to know what I might face in the future (translating is a very interesting prospect for me). The reason I am hesitant, is because I am unsure of copyright restrictions on untranslated novel text (isn't really made clear on the forums, nor here), and whether you are allowed to distribute it as such. I would really be pleased if that was possible, since working on likeable content is always more motivating, and having a translation of it will probably work well too. If for some reason my request is unreasonable, I take it back, but would otherwise really be content with any amount of text I could get my hands on. Since I don't really need it for reading, but only as a sample, I don't need more than a chapter (though I wouldn't deny more). Of course any commercial use is out of the question. I look forward to getting a reply, positive or not.

[[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 09:02, 26 November 2013 (CST)

Sorry, but I have it as a book and will not scan it and upload it. There might be one around the internet for raw light novels. There might differences between the translated version here and the actual japanese text because volume 1 was translated from the chinese translation and by someone else. But overall it is a lot better to read from the original. There is a lot of things that cannot be translated into english from japanese.

[[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

I see. Thank you very much for the response (and proof that the translation isn't completely abandoned, since you are present and do care about Baka-Tsuki notifications). I would only like to ask which part was translated directly from Japanese, in order to know which is the closest possible to the original, because even if there are some untranslatable parts, I want to be sure they are due to the Japanese form, and not some Chinese in-between. Again thank you for giving replying to me, making it much easier for me to know where to turn to.

[[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 06:46, 28 November 2013 (CST)

All of my translations are from the japanese and the chinese versions were never used. Some of the other translator used the chinese version and has a differences from the japanese version. One thing is like for the second chapter of the first volume the title is a bit different from how I read it in japanese. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

Thank you very much for your time. I managed to find a raw, but my knowledge of Kanji is jsut too low for me to practically read any. After the first couple of lines, my comprehension crumbled. I am currently learning just that, so with some more months of practice I hope to at least be able to read. For now, there is no point in giving it too much effort. Your help with the matter was the catalyst I needed to get it going a bit. Thank you again, and I hope to see the translations going, because I will probably need it :P. Good luck.

== PDF files ==

Firstly, I must say thank you for the time you spend in translating "Kokoro Connect"... I now start to read it in volt 1. But I can't help but to ask whether you can please to reupload the PDF files... all of it now gone from 4shared because of content infringement(they say). And again... thank you for your time...

Sorry, I don't have any of the pdf files for Kokoro Connect since I don't really read the translated version. I think the PDF may probably be copyright infringement so only way is to copy the text from the bakapage and make it into a pdf on words.

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-12-27T14:17:32Z

Skullheart: /* Volume 6 */

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

== Kokoro Connect ==
Thank you so much for translating Kokoro Connect :D especially since the Chinese translation for Volumes 6 and beyond has been repetitively dropped by translators. Will you also be translating the other short stories, or are you only doing Date x Date x Date for now? -- [[User:MCsq2|MCsq2]] ([[User_talk:MCsq2|Talk]])
Could you please provide a percentage of completion (or page fraction) for 4.5 chapter 1?--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:09, 30 June 2013 (CDT)

== a humble request ==

dear skullheart:
first of all i wish to thank you for your work so far on the kokoro connect translation project. you are doing a good and important job, and i am thankful for that.
secondly, a request: as a fan of kokoro connect who is no able to read the untranslated novels, i couldn't help but notice that the fifth volume of the series isn't translated yet, while the sixth volume is already half completed, and also some of the side-stories. thus, i wish to ask (beg if you wish) that after you complete your current translation project, you would consider helping to progress with the translation of the fifth volume, an action that would bring joy to the lives of every kokoro connect fan, including yours truly.
another humble (though i do not know if it really as easy to fulfill as i think and hope), is that the incredible crew of translators would take some of their valuable time to create a .MOBI version of the completed volumes, and by thus helping the owners of ebook devices to read the novels at greater ease.
and lastly, i wish to thank you once again for your amazing job, and only pray that the task of translating the series would continue easily and quickly
god-speed and good luck
yours truly
trickyni[nonexistent]
p.s: regardless of your opinion, i would appropriate it if you would take your time to answer me (though you dont need to write such a long and boreing letter yourself...)

Reply: I'm sort of tied by the rules of this wiki since there are already two 'author' for volume 5 and one of them completed a chapter and they are using translation from Chinese Sources. For the side stories since they are inactive for so long I will finish them after volume 6 gets finished because they don't add to the plot that much except for pentagon++ which does say how the new members join. I don't like leaving an entire volume incomplete so I will try to finish yume random as soon as possible. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

== Thank you! ==

I just want to thank you for keep working with Kokoro Connect! Thank you very much!

== Another humble request. ==

First, I want to start by thanking you for your work on Kokoro Connect. After that, I will be quite hesitant on asking, because I am unsure whether my request is possible (for a variety of reasons), but I wish to ask for the untranslated Japanese version of Kokoro Connect Chapter 1, Volume 1. Since you are the main Translator, I imagine you do have it. The reason for that, unfortunately isn't anything close to translation, since my knowledge is too limited... But I am currently learning, and I would like to have some good measure of my skills (which are currently undoubtedly minor), but my learning rate as well. I wish for that to be in a more official format, on the level of actual novel text, in order to know what I might face in the future (translating is a very interesting prospect for me). The reason I am hesitant, is because I am unsure of copyright restrictions on untranslated novel text (isn't really made clear on the forums, nor here), and whether you are allowed to distribute it as such. I would really be pleased if that was possible, since working on likeable content is always more motivating, and having a translation of it will probably work well too. If for some reason my request is unreasonable, I take it back, but would otherwise really be content with any amount of text I could get my hands on. Since I don't really need it for reading, but only as a sample, I don't need more than a chapter (though I wouldn't deny more). Of course any commercial use is out of the question. I look forward to getting a reply, positive or not.

Sorry, but I have it as a book and will not scan it and upload it. There might be one around the internet for raw light novels. There might differences between the translated version here and the actual japanese text because volume 1 was translated from the chinese translation and by someone else. But overall it is a lot better to read from the original. There is a lot of things that cannot be translated into english from japanese.

[[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart#top|talk]])

I see. Thank you very much for the response (and proof that the translation isn't completely abandoned, since you are present and do care about Baka-Tsuki notifications). I would only like to ask which part was translated directly from Japanese, in order to know which is the closest possible to the original, because even if there are some untranslatable parts, I want to be sure they are due to the Japanese form, and not some Chinese in-between. Again thank you for giving replying to me, making it much easier for me to know where to turn to.

[[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 06:46, 28 November 2013 (CST)

All of my translations are from the japanese and the chinese versions were never used. Some of the other translator used the chinese version and has a differences from the japanese version.

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-09-12T11:33:51Z

Skullheart: /* Volume 6 */

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Skullheart:

I noticed some parts that could be cleaner, but since I never edited before, I would appreciate if someone could look over this:

* Line 2: "before" denotes time. "to" would fit better in my opinion: "Nagase Iori abruptly said '''to''' Yaegashi Taichi."
* Line 3: The way it is worded right now, it sounds like Iori is the only beautiful girl in existance. A superlative would fit better: "Nagase, the truly '''most''' beautiful girl in reality [...]"
* Line 14: The sentence is a conditional one (→ In the case that the five are together, ...). I would change "because" to "if": "'''If''' they are together, they can do it."
* Line 14: "it" is ambiguous. What exactly is it they can do? "Everything" might fit better: "'''If''' they are together, they can do '''everything'''"
* Line 18: I think the word you are looking for is "twirl", not "whirl": "Nagase twirled her tied up hair around her finger."
* Line 19: "though" is superfluous here, since there is no previous statement being qualified. "Well, I don't plan on denying it."
* Line 20: I feel like there is something missing here. "Of course, if she said '''[missing]''' and smiled, [...]"
* Line 21: "most key member" sounds redundant. I would cut the "most" or replace "key" with "important": "[...] who do you think is the number one most '''important''' member of the group?"
* Line 21: I also feel that "our" instead of "the" would improve the flow of the sentence. I can't really give a reason, just something that feels right: "[...] who do you think is the number one most '''important''' member of '''our''' group?"
* Line 22: They are not talking about positions, but about persons. The whole sentence was kind of unclear, so I rewrote it (also, missing comma): "Well''',''' that's '''obviously the person that leads us''', Nagase or Inaba …….."
* Line 26: Is that a Japanese idiom? The sentence does not really make sense in English.
* Line 26: Also, both sentence are starting with "Taichi". Drop the period and the ellipses, replace "Taichi" with "but": "instinctively nodded, '''but''' then became confused and shook his head."

Might continue this later.

----In novels don't change the ellipses and most of the punctuation already there. They are used to denote different emotions and styles of speech. Line 26 to me isn't an idiom but more like an imagery which means Taichi took up what someone else said. I would suggest that you make an account and register as an editor since you seem to be quite active in editing the text. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart|talk]])

----Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and edit the text, save for line 26, then (Still going to run any other changes I would make by here) [[User:SomeLesserThings|SomeLesserThings]] ([[User talk:SomeLesserThings|talk]]) 04:24, 3 September 2013 (CDT)

----Next:
'''Section 1'''
* Line 35: "you" should be after "don't". "it" doesn't belong there (ideally, it would be "don't you think?", but "believe" is important for the next line): "Taichi is that type of person, '''don't you believe'''?"
* Line 42: I feel like the last thought is being continued in the next line. Since the sentence is not being clear right now (as well as grammatically wrong), I prefer this: "Taichi '''thought about giving a more desirable response'''."
* Line 43: Connecting this with the previous line: "'''But''' even if it's for Nagase's sake, trying to say something insincerely gives the wrong feeling."
* Line 45: I'm not quite sure what is meant with "Inside the room the fog cleared"

'''Section 2'''
* Line 1: The phrase is "anything goes". Missing article. "If translated, it is '''an''' "anything '''goes'''" kind of club where the current members are five first year students."
* Line 2: The "roughly" seems to be unneeded. If there needs to be a word, I think "basically" would fit better: "A name that seems solid, it is a lenient club where one can do whatever they like."
* Line 2: There appear to be two sentences mashed together. "Inside the Cultural Research Club's clubroom, Taichi and the other members of the CRC sat around the long tables."
* Line 3: "From now on" implies an action that is repeated in the future. "'''Now''', we'll begin the meeting [...]".
* Line 3: "discuss" might be a better choice of words than "report on": "We'll begin the meeting to '''discuss''' the articles that will be published [...]".
* Line 4: The text suddenly switches into first-person ("said [...] to us"). Is that intended?
* Line 5: "opening" is used twice. Since they are talking about the CRC News, the first occurrence could be replaced with "their contribution": "The day they are meeting to discuss '''their contribution to''' the Cultural Festival soon opening in the beginning of September." Alternatively, the second "soon opening" could be replaced with "taking place".
* Line 10: I reworded the title of the article: "Stylish Girls' '''Choice'''! The '''Top Ten''' Hot Cute Accessories of '''Today'''! With These Your Cuteness Will Quickly Increase!"
* Line 11: "draft" makes clear that the article is meant, so the "article" is unnecessary: "While showing off her draft, [...]".
* Line 14: "comments" is plural, so it should be "are" instead of "is": "Wait, wait a second! There '''are''' no comments!? There probably '''are'''!? There '''are''', right!?"
* Line 19: I think "probably" belongs after "should": "The two boys- better yet, the girls '''should probably''' be interested!?"
* Line 23: "Nagase laughed, '''unconcerned'''" or "Nagase''',''' not concerned''',''' laughed". I prefer the first version.
[[User:SomeLesserThings|SomeLesserThings]] ([[User talk:SomeLesserThings|talk]]) 17:46, 3 September 2013 (CDT)

----
*For line 35, I think it's fine as it is. It's more of a statement but with uncertainty.
*Line 45, more imagery. Fog= confusion, uncertainty.

*If the changes are grammatical errors, go ahead and change them.

* Line 18: I think the word you are looking for is "twirl", not "whirl": "Nagase twirled her tied up hair around her finger."
* Line 19: "though" is superfluous here, since there is no previous statement being qualified. "Well, I don't plan on denying it."
* Line 20: I feel like there is something missing here. "Of course, if she said '''[missing]''' and smiled, [...]"
* Line 21: "most key member" sounds redundant. I would cut the "most" or replace "key" with "important": "[...] who do you think is the number one most '''important''' member of the group?"
* Line 21: I also feel that "our" instead of "the" would improve the flow of the sentence. I can't really give a reason, just something that feels right: "[...] who do you think is the number one most '''important''' member of '''our''' group?"
* Line 22: They are not talking about positions, but about persons. The whole sentence was kind of unclear, so I rewrote it (also, missing comma): "Well''',''' that's '''obviously the person that leads us''', Nagase or Inaba …….."
* Line 26: Is that a Japanese idiom? The sentence does not really make sense in English.
* Line 26: Also, both sentence are starting with "Taichi". Drop the period and the ellipses, replace "Taichi" with "but": "instinctively nodded, '''but''' then became confused and shook his head."

Might continue this later.

----In novels don't change the ellipses and most of the punctuation already there. They are used to denote different emotions and styles of speech. Line 26 to me isn't an idiom but more like an imagery which means Taichi took up what someone else said. I would suggest that you make an account and register as an editor since you seem to be quite active in editing the text. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart|talk]])

----Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and edit the text, save for line 26, then (Still going to run any other changes I would make by here) [[User:SomeLesserThings|SomeLesserThings]] ([[User talk:SomeLesserThings|talk]]) 04:24, 3 September 2013 (CDT)

----Next:
'''Section 1'''
* Line 35: "you" should be after "don't". "it" doesn't belong there (ideally, it would be "don't you think?", but "believe" is important for the next line): "Taichi is that type of person, '''don't you believe'''?"
* Line 42: I feel like the last thought is being continued in the next line. Since the sentence is not being clear right now (as well as grammatically wrong), I prefer this: "Taichi '''thought about giving a more desirable response'''."
* Line 43: Connecting this with the previous line: "'''But''' even if it's for Nagase's sake, trying to say something insincerely gives the wrong feeling."
* Line 45: I'm not quite sure what is meant with "Inside the room the fog cleared"

'''Section 2'''
* Line 1: The phrase is "anything goes". Missing article. "If translated, it is '''an''' "anything '''goes'''" kind of club where the current members are five first year students."
* Line 2: The "roughly" seems to be unneeded. If there needs to be a word, I think "basically" would fit better: "A name that seems solid, it is a lenient club where one can do whatever they like."
* Line 2: There appear to be two sentences mashed together. "Inside the Cultural Research Club's clubroom, Taichi and the other members of the CRC sat around the long tables."
* Line 3: "From now on" implies an action that is repeated in the future. "'''Now''', we'll begin the meeting [...]".
* Line 3: "discuss" might be a better choice of words than "report on": "We'll begin the meeting to '''discuss''' the articles that will be published [...]".
* Line 4: The text suddenly switches into first-person ("said [...] to us"). Is that intended?
* Line 5: "opening" is used twice. Since they are talking about the CRC News, the first occurrence could be replaced with "their contribution": "The day they are meeting to discuss '''their contribution to''' the Cultural Festival soon opening in the beginning of September." Alternatively, the second "soon opening" could be replaced with "taking place".
* Line 10: I reworded the title of the article: "Stylish Girls' '''Choice'''! The '''Top Ten''' Hot Cute Accessories of '''Today'''! With These Your Cuteness Will Quickly Increase!"
* Line 11: "draft" makes clear that the article is meant, so the "article" is unnecessary: "While showing off her draft, [...]".
* Line 14: "comments" is plural, so it should be "are" instead of "is": "Wait, wait a second! There '''are''' no comments!? There probably '''are'''!? There '''are''', right!?"
* Line 19: I think "probably" belongs after "should": "The two boys- better yet, the girls '''should probably''' be interested!?"
* Line 23: "Nagase laughed, '''unconcerned'''" or "Nagase''',''' not concerned''',''' laughed". I prefer the first version.

----For line 35, I think it's fine as it is. It's more of a statement but with uncertainty.

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

[[Image:Kokoro a001.jpg|300px|thumb|Volume 1 cover]]

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-08-15T04:24:00Z

Skullheart: /* Volume 6 */

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-08-10T02:51:37Z

Skullheart: /* Volume 6 */

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Skullheart: /* Pentagon and volume 6 and up */

== Kokoro Connect ==

Hello, thanks for the translation of the chapters and the illustrations. I see you have properly registered for the translation of volume 2—which is nice. So I'm going to go ahead and translate volume 3. But alas, you've done some dialogues for volume 3 already! So, would you mind if I go on translating it? Do you want me to partially use some of your translated dialogues? [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 23:52, 3 September 2012 (CDT)

Okay, I'm fine with either volume. You can still do the prologue for V2 as the rules only states that one chapter (not volume) can only be done by one translator. Oh and btw you can still write on your own user talk and reply me to make things easier to read...but I won't get a notification if the edit is on your wall. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:14, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Okay, thanks for the tip =)
I'll un-register myself from Vol.2. Speaking of prologue, I notice something that concerns me throughout the novel series: There are multiple occasions where unlike Vol.3, there are short one or two pages worth of "prologues" without titles, but prints before the actual "Chapter 1". What do you usually do with those? Do you just include them at the beginning of Chapter 1? Examples: Vol.2, 4, 6 and probably 7 if you count that one single line by Fuusenkazura. [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 00:22, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

In kino no tabi, they use frontispiece; e.g. in v2, they use Kino no Tabi:Volume2 Frontispiece. If this word doesn't appeal to you, you may want to have a look at Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) V7—they use "Words Lost in the Wind" and if you click into it, the whole chapter only consist of a one line of dialogue spoken by a character (which may suit that line said by Fuusenkazura) [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:28, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

No..forget what I said about frontispiece; use prelude instead. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:33, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Sorry >"< I changed my mind back to using prologue and changed them. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 09:44, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Not a problem, they serve the same purpose to me anyway xD [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 11:56, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Even though I don't seem to have the time to translate now, I can still help with some minor edits. You can check 'recent changes' on the left column or the 'history' page on the chapters to see the changes I made. You may want to make some adjustments after my edit. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 05:50, 14 September 2012 (CDT)

Noted and Done. Thanks for the corrections. Oh two things I should let you know is that after careful consideration I've decided to keep Balloon Vine's name as Fuusenkazura due to the recent release of the official novel illustration: Volume 9 Asu Random's title icon are the seeds of the plants, implying that the author actually had the English name Heartseed in mind when he gave the character that name. While I want to keep the original literal meaning of Balloon Vine, I don't want to move away from the implied symbolism. So I'll be keeping the name in romanji, and annotate the name with both English translations at the first appearance of his name in each volume. The other name is Bunkenbu's translation. I'm sticking to Cultural Research as I think the club title is closer to that of studying student life and local cultures (even though they claim to be publishing whatever they like, they are still dealing with student cultures) than actual literature studies, which would have been Bungakubu. [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 07:51, 14 September 2012 (CDT)

I just have some editing issues @ KC V3 C1 - Line 749 - "You going to the toilet isn't the problem!" Notice that "your going to the toilet" here is the subject; hence, "your" is used to express possessive. This goes for the same with "the grade-schooler's walking around the campus...is..." I'll leave comments in the page for the other edits. It's good that you're paying attention to every edit. Keep it up! [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 17:23, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

I want to make a note, on the Gerand possessive issue: "your going" is certainly grammatically correct, but take it from a writer, it's fine if the dialogue between characters is colloquial. If it's the exposition/narrative, it should be grammatically correct, but you really don't have to worry about dialogue.
[[User:Skies|Skies]]

I'm gonna stick to past tense in volume 4 prologue. I also made necessary revert edits so it sounds better in English. Refer to the passage when necessary, but make it more fluent in English. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 03:56, 8 October 2012 (CDT)

Maybe I'm a bit out of topic, but I want to say: "Thank you for translating Kokoro Connect. I enjoy reading this a lot. We all appreciate your effort"--[[User:Level5|Level5]] ([[User talk:Level5|talk]]) 00:40, 26 October 2012 (CDT)

Hi! It's been some time I've hit you up. I'm not sure if you know this, but I think it would be some help to the translation. Usually, you can see some 'separators' in Kokoro Connect. But in some cases a separator is needed but only a line space is provided in the context. As such, you can use this separator:
<pre><center>—</center></pre>

For reference, you can have a look at Chapter 9 of the first volume of Kokoro Connect. You can decide whether to use the separator. The only aim is to make it natural.

Thanks for your concern and good luck in translating volume 5.
[[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 06:02, 7 November 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to take note of it.

== Pentagon and volume 6 and up ==

Any date when we can expect Pentagon++ being updated? Before you mentioned the start of December. It's after New Year?
Also, will you work on volume 6 and up afterwards? [[User:Angelanime|Angelanime]] - [[User_talk:Angelanime|Talk]] - 21:17, 3 January 2013 (CET)

I was wondering if you are continuing translating Pentagon++. If you are not I might finish translating the side story. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart|talk]])

==Kokoro Connect Translation Team==
Hello! I was wondering if I could join as a member of the Kokoro Connect Translation team as an editor. English is one of my native languages and I would like to try my best and contribute to this project if I may.
