Okay... Let's talk. All this "quality translation" thing is really just being wilful. While fair to say it is good to work towards it, we might want to look at how practical this is. Goals need to be SMART. It's an acronym that you know. -god

Making the assumption that your comment is questioning the practicality of "quality translation" in this place based on the original comment, I cannot give you a reasonable answer because I quoted from another source and I run the chance of taking the original comment out of context if I try to interpret and give a response. However, I can give you my opinion. Firstly, your comment about "SMART goals" is completely irrelevant, because a 'goal' was never mentioned in the first place, it was just something you brought in. Secondly, please clarify what you mean by the practicality of "quality translation", because I cannot see how impractical this is. While the tone used does seem to be a little strong, the message is quite clear. After all, one cannot translate accurately without having basic linguistic skills in both languages. --[[User:Bowguyz|Bowguyz]] ([[User talk:Bowguyz#top|talk]]) 02:06, 15 January 2015 (CST)

Hi,

I'll need your assistance to clarify your position in https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Help_talk:Administration_Contact_Page&diff=433271&oldid=431903&rcid=484808&curid=52018

It should be note that all your group links will be removed as a penalty (since you guys have your own host) if you guys link other people's work without permission the next time.

Hi, I reread that you'll await my response. I didn't think I needed to though. I just wanted you to resolve this with the affected translator that raised this issue that's all. You don't have to respond to this. Best Regards--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User talk:KuroiHikari|talk]]) 10:37, 30 March 2015 (CDT)

Hi again, I'll need you to come to a resolution on the project page with Steel. I think it's one of the first project that has two external hosts, and you'll have to work out a way where both your links can be in it, or maybe perhaps you'll have another project page dedicated to your group. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User talk:KuroiHikari|talk]]) 10:50, 30 March 2015 (CDT)

First of all, I accept your apology. While I am not entirely convinced over your version of events, I do not wish to leave any bad blood over this incident. However in saying this I think it would be preferable for you to drop SaeKano. People will no doubt question the legitimacy of your future translations and the last thing this fledgling project needs is a bitter drawn out dispute. Something is about to happen to the SaeKano translation project to ensure its survival and quality in the near future. I won't reveal what it is yet, but if you are vigilant in monitoring the news of the LN community you will no doubt find out soon enough.

== Requesting to Propose A New Project Under A Translated Version of LN ==

Hi and greeting.

My name is Muhamad from Malaysia. I'm currently studying undergraduate in United Kingdom.
During my spare time, I used to read Light Novels (LN) from Baka-Tsuki (BT) and my Japanese friend, who is in the same universities. I do enjoy reading both original and English-translated LN.

Then, he said to me: 'Why not translating them into your Own Language (Malay)?" And here I am, quite to afraid to suggest it beforehand.

Therefore, I would like to request your permission, and your approval to add another language-translated LN, that is Malay.

I know this is something new, but I would like to try it by means of translating it to my native language.
If possible, I would like to found this new project, so that people from my country and those who can read Malay appreciate more stories in LN by means of Malay language.

I will give it a try, and you could give me a response.

Here's my email: mujahidmuda13@gmail.com. Feel free to drop me a email, to ask any question.

Thank you for your time reading this post, and also for your help and support.
I am looking forward to be part of BT community team.

Regards,
Muhamad.

== Game Sensou ==

Hello Sir,

I've updated the Teaser Project "Boku to Kanojo no Game Sensou" and posted the complete Volume 1 as a external contributor of Kami Translation. Though I've updated the "Staff section", in the page, I don't know how to update the "Update Section" myself. the "Feedback thread" linked the forum is also Transferred to the Teaser Section of the Forums for now, if possible please check if I did something wrong or not and while you are at it, if found no error, transfer it from Teaser Project to the Main Project section.

...I still can't log into the forums myself...

For the update section, simply follow the format as it is (if you have no idea of the dates, do give a rough estimate of when the volume is completed, at the very least--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] ([[User talk:Teh Ping|talk]]) 01:04, 23 February 2015 (CST)

Updated the TL, Update Section, Staff Section and the Series Information. The Volume 1 is completed while the Volume 2 Chapter 1's been added on 23rd.

== Unban request ==

Hi, so, my brother's an idiot and got our IP banned (122.104.147.46 #49412) normally I'd just wait out the period, but I'd like to register as a translator for one of the new Mushoku Tensei chapters and by the time it runs out the volume will probably be over. I'm asking this from my phone because it won't even let me make a reqest on the computer. I can vouch that he won't do it again so it would be greatly apreciated of you could lift the ban sometime soon.

Done. -- [[User:LiTTleDRAgo|LiTTleDRAgo]] ([[User_talk:LiTTleDRAgo|Talk]]) 02:51, 2 March 2015 (CST)

== Spam in Recent Changes ==

Dear Administrators, There has been a lot of spam articles in the recent changes section as of late. Ranging from losing weight to getting various discounts, several things are being advertised. To frank, I don't want to read these kind of things on this site. It also appears that the same articles are being uploaded multiple times each day. It is so bad that the light novel updates I want to read/check are getting buried and hard to find. I am sorry if you didn't want me to tell you about this in this section, but I thought you should know about this issue. It is really annoying and I think this issue should be addressed soon if not immediately. Thanks again for running this awesome site, I hope this can help make it even better.

== Recent changes in Polish HighSchool DXD ==

I had some serious problems with my Internet connection when I decided to correct a typo, so I accidentally ended up with adding three revisions instead of one.

== Plagiarised Translations in Teaser Project Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata ==

Hello Baka-Tsuki Administration,

It has come to my attention that large parts of Chapter 1 of the first Volume of SaeKano(short hand) by Unnamed Translations were directly copied from my translations here at the http://thenakedsol.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/saenai-heroine-no-sodatekata-volume-1.html While I see no problems with the translation of their prologue, there is considerable evidence to suggest chapter 1 is not entirely their own. Evidence can be found here https://oniichanyamete.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/plagiarised-translations-warning/ and the offending material can be found here http://unnamedtranslations.blogspot.sg/p/saekano-volume-1-chapter-1.html. As per your guidelines, I am requesting removal of their links from this site and a warning to be issued to the offending party.

Thank you for your time,

--[[User:Steel Maverick|Steel Maverick]] ([[User talk:Steel Maverick|talk]]) 19:39, 27 March 2015 (CDT)

Hello again,

As a result of this unfortunate series of events, I am concerned about the quality of future translations for SaeKano. I have been considering for awhile now to have at least the links to my translations hosted here. In order to maintain consistency, legitimacy and trust in the quality of translations that are hosted or linked here might I ask if it would be possible to supersede the original links by the offending party with my own?

Thank you again for you time,
