Rakuin no Monshou:Guidelines

You have arrived at a work page for translators/editors. As such, this article contains spoilers! If you do not wish to read storyline information, click here to turn back.

General

According to the Project Guidelines, it's only two translators per volume. In this case, however, another translator can join in as long as he contacts the Project Supervisor first for approval.

The language used in this project is British English, for the simple reason that the first translator started out in this language.

• Thoughts (in the Japanese raws placed in brackets) should be written in italic
• No FULL CAPS to indicate shouting, just use one or two exclamation marks. If a single word or phrase needs to be emphasized - sometimes indicated in the Japanese raw with goma-marks (﹅) - write it in italic.

Characters

There's no known official romanization for the names of characters, so below is just an estimate of what sounds/looks best. Most names seem to have a European kind of feel (French, German, British). Discussion among translators/editors is of course possible.
