Yes of course, please fix anything that you deem necessary. That way I can learn a bit from you as well. -Hazue 00:42, 7th July 2012 (GMT+8)

Hmm? You mean the recruitment section I added? Well, editing would work fine or perhaps better, but I was hoping to imply that we were looking for translators too. -YoakeNoHikari 00:50, 8 December 2011 (CST)
Nevermind, misunderstood. -YoakeNoHikari 00:54, 8 December 2011 (CST)
Thanks; I understand what 異空間 means, but I wanted to see his take on it. - YoakeNoHikari 00:41, 26 December 2011 (CST)
Late happy new year to you!
what happened to dai densetsu....page as of March 14,2011
Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "". Database returned error "1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (199.187.126.198)".
did you want me to be the editor for Itsuka? - bzk3000
sure, why not, if you're confident about your English :) --Larethian 20:46, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
I'll do my best to keep up with it
dude, only 1 error on Ch 2. At this rate you won't be needing me by the end
nah. there's no guarantee I won't make a mistake :p. thanks :D --Larethian 22:39, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
Itsuten
My pleasure to help with the editing, it is an interesting story so thanks for the translating.--Darn2k 09:53, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
I love the formatting you have done. I don't know why, but it makes it feel more 'mysterious'.--Darn2k 03:27, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
Thanks. This has always been the way with Kagami's work, where the kanji+okurigana provides interesting information. May have to do it for DYD as well next time. --Larethian 21:02, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
Regarding the spell error/wicked blade in V1C3, i believe spell error works better. However, it is up to you as to how it is properly translated. - Bzk
Spell Error is the reading, you can in fact call it the actual name, Wicked Blade is the writing. One should always read it as Spell Error. I only include the writing if it provides interesting and somewhat vital information that would be lost if only the reading is included. This is a style used by Kagami. I just haven't added a translation note yet. Well I forgot and will do it later. Even for Epee Rapier, he used Thrusting Blade and Slender Blade as the writing, but I didn't include those, because they are not interesting information to the plot; he did that for Epee Rapier so that Japanese people reading it can have an idea how it looks like, since they might be foreign to fencing swords. In other cases otherwise, there's a reason behind the multiple meanings, just like Vampire (Most Ancient Sorcerer). Not extremely important, but nevertheless interesting. And that's where the manga translation failed; everyone who has read that including reviewers thought that this is just another vampire story. While in truth, there's more to that. Kagami is a very prolific fantasy writer (well, he writes fast) and he has a love for epic-ness, and I can see Itsuten going well over 10 volumes; I won't be surprised if it goes over 20. ^_^ --Larethian 15:40, 10 April 2011 (UCT)
Well, i'm not translating, so it's fine however it goes. Spell error does seem to work better, but if it is translated differently, then keep it. - Bzk
I think you don't really get my point. I already translated it to Spell Error, just that I left the writing. Well nevermind ^_^" --Larethian 01:36, 11 April 2011 (UCT) Please go back to translating Daidensetsu!!!!! You were so good at it and I really love the series
i did some editing on the epilogue but got logged out, so it doesn't register as me. FYI the changes are in the discussion on it. - Bzk
Noted with thanks --larethian 01:18, 11 May 2011 (UCT)
not a problem. Keep up the good work please :) - Bzk
Regarding the matsuri sewing thing in chapter 1, it seems to be blind slip-stitch or something like that. --Tap 08:12, 17 May 2011 (UCT)
noted with thanks, I'll check it XD --larethian 14:16, 17 May 2011 (UCT)
DDnYnD
Thank you, I've been hoping someone would continue translating this. --Darn2k 22:02, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
yeah. but I can't clone myself haha. --Larethian 22:38, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
Sorry, didn't know you were the original translator when I wrote that.--Darn2k 23:26, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
IS reply
Okay, sorry about that. I only intentionally split them up like that to make it easier for Kira0802 to undo any specific changes he doesn't like. But if that's going to cause more trouble, then I'll do it as your say. Makes it easier for me, anyway. Perfect Chaos 23:02, 28 April 2011 (UCT)
STATUS
I have a new BIG project (work-related) coming my way, which requires my complete attention (since it's too important and big to delegate too much responsibility to others), which means everything I'm working on baka-tsuki will be stalled for an indefinite amount of time (a few months at least, a few years at most... I think ). I'll still try to finish Itsuten V2 C1, since I'm about a third done. Anyone who wants to take over the chapters I registered for Baka Test and Daiden is welcome to do so, since I only did 2 pages for both >_<. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. My frequency in the forums will also dwindle, but I'll still hang around as often as TLG probably, which is of course not very often. I'm still contactable but give me a few days to reply. If it's something stupid, I won't reply obviously. Peace. --larethian 03:39, 26 May 2011 (UCT)
The problem now is that I haven't bought the book yet, and I'll have to
Sylthfarn Reply
The problem now is that I haven't bought the book yet, and I'll have to go to Kinokuniya someday to buy it. Another problem is probably I'm not sure if I can read the Kanjis well enough yet. Any advice in further studying Kanji?
Well, for the first question, I have only read the translated Manga. For the second, I'm having trouble recognizing some of the Kanjis, basically my vocab can be considered weak. Lastly, I'll try my best finishing the translating of what you sent me ASAP. -- Sylthfarn
ItsuTen Vietnamese version
Hi, Larethian. I'm a light novel fan. If you don't mind, i'm going to translate your ItsuTen English ver. into Vietnamese Nhinguyenminh 14:38, 21 June 2011 (UCT)
sure --larethian 15:36, 21 June 2011 (UCT)
Thank you very much :D. Do you know how to make the words look like this Black MagicPoison Nhinguyenminh 16:34, 21 June 2011 (UCT)
just create template pages similar to those: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedTemplates see 36 to 40. they use the base template 25 (Template:Furigana). --larethian 17:34, 21 June 2011 (UCT)
I see. Thank you.
Feel free to sound out if you have problems making them --larethian 07:07, 22 June 2011 (UCT)
Of course. Please specify the name of the project. I will begin work shortly after. Zero2001 - Talk - 06:49, 20 July 2011 (UCT)
Please take a look. There are some small teaks to do. I would like feedback on the linked talk section there. And it will be ready to roll out. Zero2001 - Talk - 05:29, 24 July 2011 (UCT)
Done. Simply write {{Itsuka Tenma Nav}} to get your nav box. Zero2001 - Talk - 12:01, 24 July 2011 (UCT)
Help me out by starting from vol 2. I'm doing vol 1. Done rest. Zero2001 - Talk - 12:14, 24 July 2011 (UCT)
Scratch the last post. It's all done. Zero2001 - Talk - 12:34, 24 July 2011 (UCT)
It's not your fault. Just that I have years of experience under my belt. As time passes you also will become more experienced and may even surpass me. So cheer up and never forget to ask for help. Zero2001 - Talk - 08:43, 25 July 2011 (UCT)
I will start working on Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu but it might take time. Basically my plan is to make 3 templates one for each part and then compile them all into one template via calling. Think "boxes and subboxes" or "templates and subtemplates" and you'll get it. But it will be tough. I can't say how long but I know it will take a while so please be patient. Zero2001 - Talk - 13:00, 25 July 2011 (UCT)
But there is one problem. Due to the different types of chapter names spanning the different stories and I am confused as to how you will name the chapter pages. If you were to give me a list of the names (not the links or the aliases, leave that to me) you plan to give the chapter pages. It would make things somewhat easier for me. Unfortunately the current number of chapter pages that have been created are not enough for me to postulate the pattern that the names will take, that is why I ask you. Zero2001 - Talk - 13:08, 25 July 2011 (UCT)
In that case I'll put it on hold. Whenever you're ready just send me the list of chapter page names. I'll immediately begin work on the templates after that. Zero2001 - Talk - 14:31, 25 July 2011 (UCT)
I now have an example of how the Densetsu template will look like. Here. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can do about the spaces between the subtemplates. I tried a few things but they didn't work so... sorry. Zero2001 - Talk - 15:18, 8 August 2011 (UCT)
Nah. It looks good to me too. I'll begin work as soon as you send me the list I mentioned above. No rush though. Zero2001 - Talk - 23:28, 8 August 2011 (UCT)
I've got some good news. It seems Teh Ping plans to translate DenYuuDen. Soon I'll have the required data on the page names and will be able to make the template you wished for. Just please don't tell me you changed you're mind, I'd be very sad if you did that. Zero2001 - Talk - 22:38, 31 December 2011 (CST)
Punctuation and doublespacing
I need your help and support here buddy. It's a problem that seems small but adds up to a big one. Zero2001 - Talk - 14:35, 13 September 2011 (CDT)

Hello, Larethian!
Thank you very much for changing my status. Could you change also status for my collegue, Sharkrahs? He's translating TMnI into Russian. Thanks for attention. Rock96 05:11, 11 November 2011 (CST)

Big Selfish Favour
I just tried reading the teaser project for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and I liked it. This is going to be a huge selfish favour but I'm going to ask it anyway. PLEASE DO NOT DROP THIS PROJECT. I want to know what happens.
Well, me too...--Lawrence Craft 20:46, 15 February 2012 (CST)
Taking a shot at Mahouka Rettousei
Hey Larethian,
I'm not sure if you're still around here, but just wondering, is it cool if I take a shot at the translations for Mahouka Rettousei? I'm starting to love this series and I want to try it out.
Thanks,

Oh your right, thanks for telling me. Okay I'll redo them all from scratch. I'll leave the redirected pages alone now. --Hiro Hayase 21:12, 21 March 2012 (CDT)
Ore No Imouto
Can you help me with beta-reading please? My beta is not used to light novel, especially Orenoimo
Would you mind translating Oreimo's Chapter 4 of Volume 4??
Asking for changing Monogatari Vietnamese page
I apologize in advance if I ask the wrong person, but seriously, I see you as a supervisor of many project so you may be able do something about this. The name of Vietnamese page has been Bakemonogatari for a while, so can you change it into Monogatari series to match the original English page (since we're adding Kizu, Koi, Neko and Nisemonogatari translations as well). If you're not in charge of this, can you let me know who should I contact?
Submitting Translations
Hi, I've register to translate the 4 chapter Mahouka KouKou no Rettousei short story Presidential elections and the Queen and I've already finished the First Chapter and want to know who I need to send it to and how I'm supposed to do that.
Sashiko
Registration for Mahouka Kouka no volume 8
Could you set up a registration page for Volume 8. There are a lot of short chapters that I think I could finish and post after volume 7 is completed but if Seitsuki is already working on them, I'll go and work on one of the four untranslated short stories. I am reluctant to work on volume 7 since at my pace I would have to work on one of the later chapters to make certain that there wouldn't be a skipped chapter since Dreyakis works at a much faster pace, and I don't think I would do a good job on the battle sequences.Sashiko (talk) 22:53, 28 January 2013 (CST)
Mahouka Kouka no volume 8 -Chapter 3
I don't know who translated chapter 3 but, both pages of the two page chapter appear to be there. Why is it listed as incomplete? Sashiko (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2013 (CST)
