:Well, as I've said before elsewhere, the whole thing has been an exercise in forcing myself up a level in Japanese, at least in reading and understanding it in text form. I don't expect to be satisfied until I can read Japanese casually, without having to have a dictionary at my side all the time. If something I am doing for my own learning happens to benefit others, all the better. --[[User:Rpapo|Rpapo]] 13:36, 4 January 2012 (CST) |

Revision as of 15:48, 28 January 2012
Just out of curiosity, but do you want us to wait until you finish translating the entire chapter before we get to proof reading it? BladeUnderHeart 18:20, 31 December 2011 (CST)
- Feel free to proof-read anything I've already posted. I tend to work one sentence, one paragraph, one page at a time, and have felt it more important to plow through to the end rather than spend even more time reviewing what I've already done . . . unless I notice something really obviously wrong. --Rpapo 18:26, 31 December 2011 (CST)
- Wow. I am embarassed by quite a few of those typos you've found 8-/ --Rpapo 18:01, 3 January 2012 (CST)
- Comes from my having the Microsoft Word spell-checker disabled on my working document, since it chokes with the mix of Japanese and English in there. --Rpapo 18:02, 3 January 2012 (CST)
- OK. I've gone and checked all your corrections, corrected some of the corrections, and synchronized my working document with what is on the wiki. I am going to guess, based on what I saw in the way of changes, that you were basically editing English, and didn't have the Japanese handy. Most were changes to fix mistakes I made. For instance, the bit about "a row of five women with lip piercings" was originally, in my working copy "a woman with five lip piercings". A lot of my mistakes come from the evolving nature of the translation. If I spent more time reading what I wind up with, it would come out cleaner. Mae culpa... --Rpapo 06:45, 4 January 2012 (CST)
Yup, just editing English here...which is why I try not to change anything major. Well, I feel better about it if you're going over my edits. And, since I'm here...thanks for the translation. It's an interesting story. 13:13, 4 January 2012 (CST)

Read the end of chapter 5 and that last page seems a bit confusing since it seems so disconnected from the previous page and the 3rd person point of view of Banri (looking at himself?) further complicates things --Lighthalzen 07:48, 28 January 2012 (CST)
