Editing User talk:Js06

== Welcome! ==


Hello Js, thank you for helping out translating the series. Hope to see more from you.  --[[User:Arkblazer|Arkblazer]] 13:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Js06 for all your work with the series we love, long life to you! [[User:Aagcnet|Aagcnet]]

Thanks for translating the series, definitely one of the best out there. Good to see more translators(good ones) coming into the project.  -- [[User:186.204.210.151|186.204.210.151]] 11:15, 11 January 2011 (UTC)


Heya, Js06. Thank you for continuing translating Vol. 14, hoping that you'll finish it til' the end. Thank you very much~  --[[User:80.2.33.185|80.2.33.185]] 10:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for continuing on 14 as well. Will you be moving onto the next volume to finish it up as well?

--[[User:Shido|Shido]] 15:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

After 14, I'll be translating SS1. --[[User:Js06|Js06]] 19:57, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Joay has given the green light for you to continue with 15, if you want to.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 10:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

...All up to you now. I do apologize for not following through what I promised though.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] ([[User talk:Teh Ping|talk]]) 21:11, 12 November 2012 (CST)

 
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

That's fine with me. Go right ahead. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 22:57, 1 July 2014 (CDT)

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

Thanks so much for your hard work in translating all the works you've done. I was wondering if you thought of translating the Shinmai Maou no Testament Light Novel. Currently there's only two translators and they could use a lot of help with the series. If you have free time and have access to the text can you please help them in translating it. --Idjitwinchester94(talk) 19:04, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Js06 for your hard work translating the To Aru series!!!! I appreciate it a lot!!

== 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]])

== Talk page cleanup ==
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 ==
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 for your hard work in The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village! I'm reading it right now, and it's turning out to be a good novel. [[User:Junnynam|Junnynam]] ([[User talk:Junnynam|talk]]) 00:14, 12 November 2012 (CST)


Thanks for keeping tabs for translating kamachi kazuma series such as intellectual village, heavy object and to aru series. i enjoyed all of them and i have high expectation to your teaser about The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's Marriage novel.

Thanks for all your contributions to Baka-Tsuki, most of the series I actively follow have you as a primary contributor. I greatly appreciate you using your time to translate them. [[User:Catchfraze|Catchfraze]] ([[User talk:Catchfraze|talk]]) 06:33, 15 January 2013 (CST)

Thanks for your translation of Owari and Horizon.

Thanks for all of your translations, "To aru" read all without some of spin-off now on "Ichiban" vol 7, very grateful for you operative and very top quality work(sorry for gramatic not my main language)well when finish with Ichiban maybe begin owari,Horizon and Heavy Object or will continue with Monogotari (seen anime and manga, liked).Again big thanks, hope you will be never tired of doing this =)

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

Thank you for your work on translating Kamachi Kazuma's and Kawakami Minoru's novels! I really enjoyed both their works so to see all the translations being worked on by the same translators only boosts my appreciation [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 18:05, 19 July 2014 (CDT)
==Monogatari Series==

I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to do some heavy formatting changes to the Monogatari Series such as the formatting links. So use the new formatting style from now on. If you have any questions you can pm me here or the forums.
For example: (::**[ [ Monogatari Series:Bakemonogatari Volume2/Nadeko Snake 001|001 ] ]) --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 18:19, 21 March 2012 (CDT)

Update: The major formatting changes are done. Everything's back to usual now. --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 12:01, 22 March 2012 (CDT)

I'm wandering if you have any plans on resuming translations of Bakemonogatari or will you start working on a new project or just take it easy till new Index volume? [[User:SXIII|SXIII]] ([[User talk:SXIII|talk]]) 16:29, 1 May 2013 (CDT)

I've lost interest in the Monogatari series at least for the moment, so I'll be starting on some new project before long. [[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 18:03, 1 May 2013 (CDT)

== 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)



== Heavy Object Vietnamese Translation ==

Hi, Js06. 

I'm Gingi from [http://vnsharing.net/forum/ Vnsharing.net]. Would you mind if I translate Heavy Object into Vietnamese based on your translation? Thank you for translating such a great novel and look forward to your reply. [[User:Gingi|Gingi]] 20:24, 15 April 2012 (CDT)

== Ore No Imouto ==

Hi there. I'm translating Ore no Imouto vol 4 chapter 1. Is there by any chance that you got the Japanese version of this volume available ? My source is a chinese's translation, so lots of word/sentense is lost

---

Hi Js06, I hope that's not a problem that I made the full text page for OreImo Vol 3 because in the Registration chapter is is not "Complete". -- [[User:Simon|<span style="color:darkred;font:bold 10pt kristen itc">Sim</span>]][[User talk:Simon|<span style="color:darkblack;font:bold 10pt kristen itc">on</span>]] 10:34, 8 December 2012 (CST)

=== Still interested in working on this? ===

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. At the moment it's incomplete again, so I was wondering if you were still interested in finishing it, since your name is still registered for that chapter. -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 03:50, 23 April 2014 (CDT)

== 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 <span style="color:DimGray">"whisper/mutter"</span> or <span style="color:DarkSlateGray">"whisper/mutter"</span>. 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 <small>smallify</small> 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<!--this redundancy is on purpose--> 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......<!--This incomplete sentence is on purpose--> --[[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)

Changes are done. Anything else that needs to be done? --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] ([[User talk:Hiro Hayase|talk]]) 01:33, 22 January 2013 (CST)

While I think the coloring are nice, sometimes they don't get transferred well to Android/Kindle, and it does other times, so I'm all for easier reading on non-PC devices~ --[[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]])

Hi Js06, in Volume 8 you used Frolaytia instead of Froleytia? Which is your actual preferred spelling? [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 14:59, 23 July 2014 (CDT)

Frolaytia is the spelling Kamachi used, so it would be the correct spelling. -[[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 18:32, 23 July 2014 (CDT)

Thanks for the update ^_^ few things i wanted to discuss. first was in part3 when wal was talking with frigg and frey... definitely there is a problem with wal proclaiming she can go forever without doing anything indecent but did you guys notice this implies she (ha very casual about it to) plans on being with him "forever" awww waltraute is so adorable XD next problem is part7 seven when loki says “Ha ha ha. 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... ALL YOUR OPINIONS HAVE BEEN IGNORED. btw, favorite part though “You also shaved a goddess?”  [[User:Keisanichi|Keisanichi]] ([[User talk:Keisanichi|talk]]) 21:33, 8 February 2013 (CST)

:The afterword seems to hint that it's a series, but if you look at all of his not-Toaru series, the rate is aprox. 1 volume a year, so it won't be until half a year from now that we'd known the answer. --[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 14:44, 7 May 2013 (CDT)

== 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.

Do you know what "話の分かるやつで助かる" would mean?

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)

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.

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!"

== 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&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;S|talk]]) 01:21, 5 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&#38;S|OH&#38;S]] ([[User talk:OH&#38;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)

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)

Thx a lot for reading.

== 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)

I'm assuming you know because the project page has been updated with the new ISBN but just want to reinform that v4 of Zashiki Warashi is out. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 16:36, 22 July 2014 (CDT)

Volume 3 Chapter ? part 33 ends with "as they fell right onto our". It seemed like something was missing (ie "our heads."), though I suppose there's a chance it was intentionally cut off like that.  --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 19:10, 21 August 2014 (CDT)

The original novel cuts out mid-sentence there too. -[[User:Js06|Js06]] ([[User talk:Js06#top|talk]]) 22:28, 21 August 2014 (CDT)

In Intellectual Village volume 4 chapter 1 part 6, from context it seemed like "Shinobu" should be replaced with "Hayabusa" in the following line: "Please respond, Jinnai Shinobu-kun, the indecent boy who feels a slight throb of the heart when he hears the word ‘sister-in-law’." --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 18:42, 17 November 2014 (CST)

== Just Asking Another TAMNI Thing ==

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.
That is TAMNI NT 3 Page 166th ː
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The motion was similar to typing on a keyboard, but it was as fast as an electric sewing machine. The repeated sound of her fingers striking the garden’s fence came together to form English words that sounded like someone accurately reading from a textbook.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the question is "How did Kuroyoru communicate?"
By using words or maybe sound wave?
My apologize if this question is so trivia. Though we will be waiting for your explanation.
Thanks before. --[[User:C.I.U|C.I.U]] ([[User talk:C.I.U|talk]])

== A Doubt ==
Hi, there, js06. I'm Aster. I translate Zashiki to spanish using your translation jap-eng.
The doubt is that in some places I use the volume raw, so in "PACKAGE_Console_System_Ver.010.56." you wrote “Effective_Area=“Goldmine_Island//Japan//The_World”. while in the raw says "“Effective_Area=“Rocket_Island//Japan//The_World”." Is because the way to read the name of Goldmine Island in Kanji? --[[User:Aster von Einzbern|Aster von Einzbern]] ([[User talk:Aster von Einzbern|talk]]) 13:07, 12 Jun 2015 (CDT)

== Small NT13 Questions ==

Hey js06, just two small questions:

1. World Reject'''e'''r or World Reject'''o'''r? My brain tells me the second one is more correct but how did you choose?

2. In Chapter 3 Part 13/14 when Misaka grabbed Kamijou's arm and made an exclamation, the dialogue translated doesn't match the accompanying dialogue with colour illustration of the same scene. Is there a difference between the colour illustration text and the light novel text for that scene?

== Horizon 4A Chapter 15 ==

At the end of the chapter this line appears

"At any rate, Asama gave a casually moved in from the side."

There's something wrong in the Asama gave a casually part. Can you fix it?

== Owari no Chronicle translation question ==

In 4A chapter 11 when #8 is running towards Odor the text says that "they" are three meters apart then after a bit says they are now twenty meters apart and it's worded to sound like that is closer than the previous distance. Was the three meters supposed to be a different number or was "they" referring to a different group? 

Also 4B chapter 18 describes the tree trunk as three meters wide at the end of the chapter and the following mentions of its size use thirty meters.

Are these translation issues or are they accurate? [[Special:Contributions/98.109.50.96|98.109.50.96]] 19:17, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

I saw another issue. In 5B chapter 34 the line "We’ll lie and , but as we keep doing that, we’ll gain forgiveness bit by bit, confess our wrongdoings bit by bit, and better ourselves bit by bit."
Is there supposed to be a second verb after the first "and" or is the "and" not supposed to be there?[[Special:Contributions/205.197.242.169|205.197.242.169]] 16:15, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

== Untranslated Index short stories ==

Hey js06,

An acquaintance of mine was able to get his hand on some raws for some of the 10th anniversary material for Index and wanted me to pass the files on to you for translation.

== Takigawa's given name. ==

In the latest chapter of Horizon, Horizon and Tooti do the following comedic number about Takigawa's given name:
:::“I know a number is next.”

:::“Yeah,” said the idiot while leaning his entire body in front of her. “It is a tricky name to read correctly.”

:::“Heh. Do you really think that is enough of a hint to clue me in?”

The reason of that is that the 一 in her name is not read neither the on "ichi" nor the kun "hito", but the nanori "kazu". Her inherited name is Takigawa Kazumasu.

-Hi. I've noticed that the there's a misspelling for the wiki page name for Agnese SS Chapter 1.
