			== Editing ==

			It's been almost three years since the translation was over. So, is there actual editing still going? I asking since there wasn't any head ups for a long time and thread on Beast's Lair is looks pretty much dead.

	Right after reading the intermission chapter of Vol. 4, I have come to realize that this "Arimago Island" you have translated for アリマゴ島 may perhaps be "Alimango Island". I looked for a bunch of local terms for a giant crab in most Asian countries but our (I'm a Filipino) local term for a giant (mud) crab, as stated in the novel of the meaning of Arimago, seems to fit the bill. The katakana アリマゴ may be read as Alimango since \li\ = \ri\ and there is no equivalent of our \ngo\ in Japanese such that \go\ might suffice. There is such an island in our country of the same name in Negros Occidental, Philippines but whether or not it is that same island is not really what I'm concerned of. What I'm concerned of is that Type-Moon used a Philippine setting for that significant portion of the story. There are many hints in the novel that led me to believe of this: 1) "Alimango" ?= "アリマゴ" is indeed a term that refers to giant (mud) crabs; 2) the island believes in folklore similar to what Asian countries believe in; 3) the Philippines along with nearby Asian countries are areas where Nasuverse's Mage Association is not primarily concerned of, an ideal location for a magus who wants to seclude himself; 4) the Philippines is one of the, if not the only, countries in Asia where it would make sense that there is a Catholic priest and probably a chapel in a remote island; 5) remote islands like these in Philippines and nearby Asia during the timeline of the novel are indeed poverty stricken to have only a few 4-wheel vehicles running in the island; 6) it is common for Filipinos to use Western names such as Shirley more likely so than any other countries in Asia and even if they live in non-urbanized remote islands; 7) "Kerry" definitely strikes me of Visayan accent because these Visayan citizens also can't pronounce "Kiri" well; and other nifty details when one reads the novel and is familiar with this background. Of course, I could be wrong and this could be an Australian or some Oceanian island instead. But I'd still bet that Arimago is actually Alimango based on the inferences that I have made. I have to spread this word to hopefully replace Arimago terms in Type-Moon and Fuyuki Wikia and to the upcoming Fate/Zero anime translation.

			== PDF Files ==

			First from all, congratulations for your work. I've almost finished the FSN's VN reading and I was looking for this Light Novel to start it once I've finished it.

			I was thinking in read your work on my e-book, but I guess that you don't have any PDF file, isn't it? I know I could make the PDF by myself, but since there's a bit of spoiler images, if it is possible, could you post here a link with them? (or a website where I could find'em?)

			Thanks in advance =D

			Final note: Don't be surprised to find several facts different from what you know. I am also surprised to find one fact (from a lot of) that in Fate/Zero, Excalibur is an anti-personnel NP, not an anti-castle NP, as being described in VN or type-moon.

			== Little contribution ==

			I wanna give a little contribution for all super-duper high efforts of translators in my long awaited project of Fate/Zero

			Yep, don't compare this with the great works of the translators, this is just a simple crap if compared to them...

			I've spent some of my free time to translate the status page of Fate Zero Characters

			To be noted first, I have no background and knowledge of Japanese language (don't even mention Kanji, even Hiragana and Katakana is still forgetful)

			So to comprise for my lack of knowledge, mostly I take the translated text from some sources such as:
			Type-Moon Wikia
			Fate Stay Night Translated Mirror Moon VN Status Page

			With some bit of understanding and editing here and there, I hope for a while, it can satisfy the demand of people with interest on the translated Status Page, until perhaps the better version is released.

			You can download it at this link: (Still in image version and per pages too)

			IN A MOMENT.... STILL UPLOADING.....

			To make it to PDF version to be printed, you can use several PDF Editor tools, that can make PDF file from just several bunch of images.... (Mine is Nitro PDF Professional)

			Hope you enjoy!

			Best regards to all of Fate franchise fans!

			May Godspeed be with you, translators!
