Hello Firebird, thank you so much for translating this series. It's delight me to read the novel version since there's should be more detail than the anime. Once again, much obliged! Reinm (talk) 1 April 2013

I'm just going to assume I can jump in and translate on Mondaiji if I just put my name on the registration page. Since you allowed Drinkingwater to "ninja volume 2 of the series". Mizuho (talk) 00:22, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

Seems like you already wrote your name to appropriate place, so go ahead!

How much experience do you have with the Japanese language? Just curious, since this will be you first translation here as I can see. Firebird (talk) 09:58, 10 April 2013 (CDT)

Cause I am more fluent in the Chinese language,therefore i translate from Chinese to English.--Drinkingwater (talk) 06:15, 11 April 2013

Changing You's name to Yuh

It's going to be very akward to english readers to read "You" as a name so it should be changed to Yuh for readability.

I was contemplating this when I started translating, but reached the same conclusion as EnigmaticAxiom below. I don't think it causes that much confusion that would warrant breaking the romanization style of the whole text for this one name. Thank you for your suggestion though! Firebird (talk) 01:02, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

If you were worried about that, it would be "Yoh" rather than "Yuh." Honestly speaking, I think it should remain as is. Also, I'm not sure how confusing it would be. Her name is capitalized like all names should be. "You" as a word is only capitalized if it's at the beginning of a sentence, and the following word should tell who it refers to. The translators are also maintaining titles and honorifics for a lot of it, so it'll be "Kasukabe," "You-san," and "Kasukabe You" for the most part, so I'm not sure how awkward it is reading it. It's much more awkward writing it than anything else. --EnigmaticAxiom (talk) 23:55, 18 April 2013 (CST)

i know i don't have a right to barge in but have you ever considered "Yuu" as an option. it is pronounced "yoo". --SirEatALot (talk) 09:45, 20 April 2013 (CST)

Actually, it's pronounced "Yō." I hate referencing the Anime, but that's where it's easiest to hear. As for what Kuroi said, yes, it is likely most people will pronounce "You" as "Yuu," but I say ignore them! --EnigmaticAxiom (talk) 20:35, 19 April 2013 (CST)

Just a minor thing, most readers are going to be reading as 'you' in pronunciation('yuu'). There's always the ō letter, but that might not be the most preferred either. (Random)Actually, just leave as よう, time to learn kana =D --KuroiHikari (Talk | ) 19:59, 19 April 2013 (CDT)

Wanted to Help.

Hey firebird,

I was reading over Mondaiji and, i noticed there was a lack of editors for this light novel. so I was wondering if i can help out. i love this series from the manga to the anime adaptation. and from what i've read from the little that was translated made me want to help out. I'm a native english speaker so this is well within my abilities. this would be my first project for a light novel, so please guide me along.

Thank you for expressing an interest! Since I'm not really well versed in the job of editors, I think you should turn to Code06 with this matter. He is the main editor on this project, so if you can help out with something, he can probably tell you. If he approves I have no objection to you becoming an official editor. Firebird (talk) 15:18, 18 April 2013 (CDT)

Trigger91: thanks for the information i'll go and talk to him now. i do hope we can work together for this project......(sometime later) there, my names under the editor bracket. i look forward to working with you, and i hope that we get this project done so others can enjoy this story.

Welcome aboard! --Firebird (talk) 13:10, 19 April 2013 (CDT)
