hi. what i have to say may come off as not polite. now, that is really really not my intention. just a suggestion.

you started TL'ing the 2nd volume kikou shoujo. stellarroze is doing the first one, right? but with all due respect to her, she is working simultaneosly on 4 projects and she isn't lightning fast with all of them. i estimate we'll see vol. 1 of each in a couple of years at this pace. if you helped with vol. 1, it will be completed faster. what do u think about this?--Idiffer 05:17, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Woah...To begin with im definitely not going to take a couple of years to finish the 1st volume of each. End of summer latest. I've been slow due to my final exams which will be over in mid June. My main project is Rinkan no Madoushi and Kikou Shoujo comes second so they'll be the first updates. What Hayashi chooses to translate is up to him and noone else. :) Stellarroze 05:34, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Well, the thing is that translators pick sometimes different volumes in order to not have style conflict or time conflict. --Kira (Talk) 05:39, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Stellarroze, that's good news then. Kira, yeah i know. but doesn't hurt to try...--Idiffer 05:42, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Idiffer, like Kira said, I'm not going to touch volume 1 so as to maintain the consistency of the translation for a whole volume. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait--Hayashi s 23:28, 18 May 2012 (CDT)


Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai

Do you want me to change the <3 in your translations into ❤? Or just leave them as it is? --Hiro Hayase 15:53, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

yes, please change it. Also, all the - should be replaced with the longer dash if possible--Hayashi s 23:24, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

I didn't know there were official names for the characters. Could you tell me the rest of them and I'll be using them from now. Thanks. :D Stellarroze 11:53, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

I added the nav bar and changed Charlotte's surname. :) Stellarroze 13:43, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

Note that ❤ is not part of the ascii code and thus won't show on all systems. it would be better to use <big><big>♥</big></big>. It's stored in the symbols portion of the Special characters tab. Otherwise people might mistake it for an empty space and delete it. Also you might want to take a look at Template:Furigana. It's a handy template for those furigana. Think of it as a design thing.

I've already incorporated that into my FoxReplace settings. It's a very handy Firefox addon. Now I can just hit the Edit button and FoxReplace will change it for me. Zero2001 - Talk - 04:52, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Think of it as a design thing. Besides this is actually translation of the whole term, so this helps a lot for the readers. You can understand the terms to even greater depths you couldn't before. And it's pleasing to the eye. But I won't force you to use it. It's a suggestion. If you find codes difficult then put a hidden message next to the place where it is to be. I'm good with codes so I'll do it for you. :) Zero2001 - Talk - 05:06, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

If you use it you'll get used to it quick. The colors can substitute the difference between the types of writing. You just have to find the right color for you. See the link. Zero2001 - Talk - 05:10, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Expand your horizons. No pressure though. Zero2001 - Talk - 05:17, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for explaining that part to me, I get it now. :) Stellarroze - Talk 12:17, 5 June 2012 (CDT)

I'm in a hurry so I'll make this quick. I apologise if it seems curt. Intersecting quotation marks. It was explained to me recently. These are quotation marks within speech marks. Much like [()]. Single quotes within double quotes and vice versa. This way, one doesn't get confused where the speech starts and ends. Example:

"Kaya, is that the "something" you were talking about?"

Should be:

"Kaya, is that the 'something' you were talking about?"

Also, it's better to use «» or single-quotes(') to encapsulate «special» terms. They're in the Special Characters' Symbols section in the edit toolbar. They will either insert where the cursor is in or encapsulate the highlighted text like the bold button does. This way they won't be confused with speech. Now I have to go my parents are calling me to dinner. Great translation work by the way. I'm impressed. Zero2001 - Talk - 12:03, 14 June 2012 (CDT)

I looked at the Guidelines page and so far everything is fine. I'll add some more terminology and names to it later, unless you get there first ;-) Stellarroze - Talk 21:46, 14 June 2012 (CDT)

Hi! Do you have page 46 of Volume 1 by any chance? It's missing in the raws I have for some reason. Stellarroze - Talk 13:32, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

Did something happen? Zero2001 - Talk - 16:36, 14 July 2012 (CDT)

While reading the volume 2, I encountered a small error. The chapter 7 name on the main page is "The Magic Sword Dancing in the Palm of a Hand" while on the chapter page itself it is "The Devil Sword Dancing in the Palm of a Hand". So, which one to keep? --Chancs (talk) 13:38, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

I'll see what I can do about the illustrations for volume 3. I'll ask Krytyk if he can merge and clean it a bit. --Hiro Hayase (talk) 13:54, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

PDFs

Hi; since the volume 2 is now complete, where do you propose to post the PDF link? Whether should it be posted in the Forum page or can we do it here on Wiki itself? Also, would you like the PDFs to be generated now itself or at some later stage so that the edits are also included? --Chancs (talk) 06:16, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

K. I will probably generate it within a day and post it on forum and Wiki along with sending you the link for the presentation check. --Chancs (talk) 01:27, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

I have dropped you a PM on the forum for the above. --Chancs (talk) 14:30, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

Umm, which of the pitcures? I had to in fact enlarge the chapter pictures. Should I enlarge them more? --Chancs (talk) 04:09, 9 September 2012 (CDT)

No, the size came as default when I copied it to the word file. I will increase it more than. --Chancs (talk) 04:24, 9 September 2012 (CDT)

Hyakka Ryouran Template

It would be my pleasure. What should I name it? The title's a bit long. Wikipedia says it is also known as simply Samurai Girls. Would that do? Zero2001 - Talk - 14:55, 15 September 2012 (CDT)
