			You’re welcome! I’ve had a TL of Calamity Trigger part 2 finished for a while now, but I’ve been waiting to get approval first before I upload it.

			Was bulk-input OCR, and was tool-translated grammar followed by manual editing, used for substantial portions of the BlazBlue chapters you posted? Or if such practices were limited, please specify where in the text they were applied.

			The statements for machine translation apply to Bloodedge Experience 1 as well. As for the question about my personal fluency, I prefer using OCR since being able to do things in bulk feels more appealing. I don't see myself as being fluent enough to translate the grammar intuitively, but I have enough history with editing and locating grammatical errors that I could do the same with any tool-translated sentences.

			It's been brought to my attention that you were also translator for a majority of [[BlazBlue#Blazblue:_Bloodedge_Experience_Part_1\|Bloodedge Experience Part 1]] as the user 75.137.24.157. I will assume that your statements regarding use of machine translation tools also apply to that text as well. Let me know if I am mistaken. To better ascertain the balance of your personal translation ability versus usage of machine translation tools, how would you describe your personal fluency in Japanese? For example, are you able to read kanji yourself and manually type words into lookup tools, or do you use optical character recognition (OCR) software to scan sections of text for bulk lookup? Are you fluent enough in Japanese grammar to convert passages to their equivalent English structures by intuition (separately from looking up vocabulary as needed), or would you translate sentences by tool and afterwards smooth out grammatical awkwardness through editing?

			To clarify, are you stating that you performed translation of the chapters almost entirely using your personal skill in Japanese and English, and only used the three tools RomajiDesu, DeepL, and Google Gemini to check and double-check kanji and textual descriptions related to the three topics above after translating them manually, and did not otherwise use these or other machine translation tools? That is to say, do you claim all aspects of writing style such as rhetorical choices in grammar and diction—beyond the scope of the items listed previously—as products of your own personal skill being applied to translating the source text?

			I used RomajiDesu to check the meaning of kanji related to the series terminology, descriptions of the Boundary, and the Azure Grimoire's ability to absorb life force. To make sure these kanji and descriptions were consistent and not strictly tied to one engine, I double-checked them using DeepL and Google Gemini.
