    You could have just waited, you know.

    I was just about to go and check the TL thread, but I'd rather relax and chill first before doing so.

    Hello, I plan to make a Pseudo DxD Issei vs Low-EXP Gunnix threat on the FC/OC forum, yet I doubt anyone there is knowledgeable of him, I watched High School DxD up to season 3 in the past. By any chance, could you argue for his Pseudo DxD key?

    Definitely.

    Had some time off here too, and even on Discord. Been getting pretty busy IRL right about now again too.

    I'm usually busy with other stuff rn but you're lucky I'm somewhat free rn atm so just for this.

    I should also inform you with how busy my life is rn that I should not be asked and relied on entirely for translations. That is not something you and anyone else on here should be doing to one person.

    In any case.

    (Story) In three lines, I will explain the Sea Area Event stories thus far!

    1) In the future of "World Alpha", a mysterious existence known as "X" appears. In order to save history from destruction, the artificial machine "Anti-X", also known as "Siren" flies off to various/all sorts of parallel worlds/universes - branches to conduct experiments!

    2) The Commander in "World Beta - Experimental Site Beta" alongside the "Ships/Kansen", concepts of ships that have manifested/materialized through the power of the Cube, fight against the "Siren" who are disrupting the world with their experiments!

    3) With "X" also encroaching and attacking World Beta, various factions struggle to gather the "META" as allies to create a large fighting force!

    That's pretty much it...what do you think?

    Okay. I finally got some free time atm from some of my other stuff. But I am seriously telling you to stop bothering me so much and much more stop pestering me when there can be other you could have also asked if possible. I especially don't appreciate how you ignore my statement even more of "don't rely all of this on one person". You think I do shit for free just because? I do it only if I'm in the mood to help if I got nothing to do when I get on here, and I don't need to remind you of my translation commission I have to do for my client even now, nevermind other priorities I have off this platform and IRL.

    Edit: I understand this fking platform don't have any active translators and all that, but that does not mean you should ignore what people say if they have something they gotta do that they cannot be on here to do stuff like this all the time nor be solely on here for anything like translation stuff. Because I have a life I need to prioritize too when I'm not on here, same for the other translators who were active but aren't atm (if they'll ever come back or when).

    That said, here's what I got. And try to use the image you linked as a reference point with what I'll write on here.

    The grand people in the Celestial Realm are the ones who govern the entire universe

    The administrators of this world are those in the Celestial Realm. As it is a place where only souls go to, their very existence is not well known to the people of this world.

    Hey there, I was originally the one who asked Zetsu to get the scene translated because I don't happen to know any VSBW-accepted translators, so yeah, thank you very much for the help.

    So, in the official English translation of this scene, it talks about how Ibuki (a girl character) dented an elevator but doesn't add much context behind the depth of anything about the dent, so I got my hands over the official JP version after searching for it for a long time, after I heard that it did add some context.

    Your translation:
    Frustrated, Ibuki stood up and flew right into the elevator with all of her might. The place she had kicked became surrounded in force. She kicked the area again. Though the elevator shook violently, there was not a sign of it moving.
    Click to expand...

    Bing Translate:
    Ibuki stood up in frustration and kicked the elevator as hard as she could have kicked. The place is dented as much as possible. There was another kick to the same spot. The elevator was shaking but there was no sign of it moving.
    Click to expand...

    ChatGPT:
    As frustration surged within Ibuki, she stood up and kicked the elevator with all her might. A spot on the wall caved in significantly. He delivered another kick to the same spot. The elevator swayed violently but there was no sign of it starting to move.
    Click to expand...

    Google Translate:
    Frustrated, Ibuki stood up and kicked the elevator as hard as she could. The part was deeply dented. Another kick to the same spot. The elevator was shaking but there was no sign of it starting to move.
    Click to expand...

    I got the scene translated through various sources available on the internet (but of course, getting it verified with an actual person becomes important), so which translation best supports the "surrounded in force" statement, if it does provide that kind of context behind the scene. Also, this is particularly about the part where she becomes frustrated and kicks the elevator with all her might (which is common between translations, but the intensity of the dent becomes questionable).

    Thanks again.
    Qliphoth_Bacikal
    Qliphoth_Bacikal
    Ah, I see something I actually did wrong. There was a kanji I normally never see before (凹) if not very unoften so I must have thought of something off there.

    It actually does say she dented the area, rather than being "surrounded for force" which looking back would be read pretty weirdly. My bad lol. I'll adjust that after this comment. (TBF, I am literally being juggled with various other TL requests off this site, plus a novel project I'm working on so I can easily get one piece of something wrong)

    That said in regards to the "area" she kicks at, there's not much else than the char in question just kicking something so hard she made a dent on somewhere and caused the elevator they're in to shake. That's about it. Sorry for the slight confusion and of not being able to provide anymore details with what I am given here.

    Hope any of this sorta helps to clarify it.

    Just got all of my wisdom teeth taken out.

    Procedure wasn't that bad, at all. But also kinda in some ache like pain or discomfort even. Gonna be like a week or two ish in recovering from it so won't be on as much around here, even though I do even less than I did the last time I was here but yeah.
    Qliphoth_Bacikal
    Hmm...nearly 2 and a half years...and nothing's changed much.

    Hmm. Anywho, greetings to anyone that see's this. Yes, this is me. Qliphoth Bacikal, or Qliphoth if you want to just say that. It's all good.

    So as anyone would know by then and now, I left this fandom one day for a lot of reasons that I won't tell but if you're heard of others off-site about it, you may know of it. Again won't be getting into any details about that as you can find that on your own on any other forum. But mostly on my own, I left because I was stressed out being around here and just getting about lost on what I was doing until I had to just go and leave. Just take some time off on my own to do my own thing, maybe do some find one self sort of journey.

    And I did do just that! ...Sorta. I just went to get a job and work, I kept practicing and learning my skills in things like language arts (or learning new languages if that makes sense), do translation work, even get into the passion of some personal hobbies like fanfiction writing (yes, I do this and plenty of others have to have done so too in the past and still do now). Even having thoughts of getting back into school to do another profession cuz the one I did got BURNT TFO out of me when I went to college. Either that, or just do more work cuz I just like to have something to do and get paid for it owo.

    That said, guess it was out of a whim to see what's been going on here and...nothing's been changed much. If at all. Just your usual CRT's or discussion threads going on from the looks of it since I last left. Though I will say that I won't be as proactive as I was when I was around here last time, just basically stick to doing whatever comes to mind that I like to do and not want/need to do...or however that would go in saying that.

    In any case, if anyone that still remembers how I was before I left or kinda miss talking to me, feel free to drop by and say a hi. I very appreciate casual talks at the least.

    All said and done, enjoy a nice day and read.

    Hi, I would like to evaluate the translation of this specific bit, and would also like to know why different machine translations yield different response; in the “infinite number of universes/space-time exists infinitely” part


    「僕らの一派にはさ、こう考える者もいる。とりあえず宇宙を含む上位宇宙を含む……みたいな究極的な集合があったとしてさ。それが滅びないのはなぜなんだろう、と。時空が無限に存在しているのなら、いずれはそんな存在があらわれても不思議じゃないし、そんな存在が気まぐれに全ての宇宙を滅ぼす可能性はゼロじゃない。そして可能性がゼロでないのなら、無限の時間があればそれは必ず発生しそうなものだよね。けどそうはならない。僕たちが観測できた範囲内でのことなんだけど、一定以上に強くなろうとした、なった神はいずれ消えてしまうんだ。では、それを成している者がいるんじゃないか？　この宇宙には何かの限界が、基準があるんじゃないかとね」
    「……基準……」

    It would be gladly appreciated, if context matters I can explain it.

    Sorry to bother you, but I heard you translate shit so, if you don't mind could you translate these two scans as literally as possible?

    There's two eng translations already but the issue is they, while saying almost the same thing, have a key difference or two that would result in a few notable changes between whichever one it is we decide to use 🤷‍♂️

    If you're busy or whatever that's fine as well.

    More like his state of being and what he truly is.
    There's multiple eng translations and while all get across a general idea, details actually matter greatly here, and they have conflicting details. I asked Redgrave for a translation already and got one that looks aight but he said getting a second opinion would be good so 🤷‍♂️
    Tbh this is one of the few things holding back the profile from being completed, though I'm also in no real rush to finish it, it's been waiting for 10 months, it can wait a bit longer if need be.

    Qliphoth_Bacikal
    Ah, got it.

    I even talked with Redgrave about it (only other person who I'd trust in looking into JP stuff) and that seems to be what's the talk here.

    I'll try to look into it whenever but I can see why it's important given latest chapters and info we got out of it.

    Hey sorry for the long wait. Here's what I got.

    うああっ

    急いでェ!

    あ...
    お願いだあああ

    早く首の火傷の手当てをッ!

    バ…
    バカなッ!

    そんな、ウソでしょ!

    い…今のは「院長」だったッ!

    い…「院長」の姿は、「厄災」のエネルギー!!

    『厄災の理』!!

    操る本体が消滅しても「院長」は無くなったりはしないのか?

    厄災はまだ続いている…!!

    …というよりもワンダー・オブ・Uは決して無くなる事のないこの世の『厄災の理』を

    あの透龍は自分の為に利用していただけの能力だったッ!

    越助さんの体内に『院長』が入ったッ!!

    Uuuah!
    Something's wrong with Grandpa!!
    He's getting worse!!

    Hurry!

    Ah...
    Please...!!

    Get him treatment for the burn on his neck!!

    N...
    No way!!

    This can't be happening!!

    Just now...it was the "Head Doctor"!!

    The form of the "Head Doctor"...it's "Calamity" energy!!

    "A Natural Law of Calamity"!!

    Will the "Head Doctor" not vanish even without a host to control it!?

    The "Calamity" is still going on...!!

    ...Or rather, Wonder of U is why the "Natural Law of Calamity" will never truly vanish...

    And that it was just an ability Tooru used for his own gain!

    The "Head Doctor" has gone inside Norisuke-san's body!!

    I feel like this'll only clog up or get lost in the translation thread, so I figured I'll just talk it here.
    Carrion/Karion/Carillon's name is spelt カリオン in Japanese. I just want to know which English version of the name is more appropriate.
    Context: Carillon is what Yen Press used for their official translations. Carrion is what anime captions/subtitles use (and seems like the coolest name, most users here like it). Karion is it's romaji and is used in the fan translations of novels.

    Update: Taking a lot more time and activity off here to fix my computer as that’s my main form of work on the internet.

    Typing by phone to also communicate but due to how tedious it can be to type here, I am limiting my activity to at least just commenting. Anything else, I cannot do and I’d rather not try to attempt to do anything until I get my problem with computer resolved.

    Further update.

    After having about spent maybe a good two weeks give or take without my main computer, I finally got it fixed. So NOW I am 100% active-ish...

    Sadly it comes with the cost with having to get a new drive cuz old one was just getting old and dying on me like an elderly person, and more importantly not having activated a backup system before it died out so...back to square one on getting everything set up like before.

    Hi Qliphoth

    I hope you’re doing well.

    Recently, you provided a translation to a line of dialogue from Super Mario 64, however this has created a point of contention as many people are finding a different result. This seems to boil down to how the first sentence ends with the verb “つくろうとしています” being written in hiragana, leaving it open ended as to what it might mean. From what I can gather, you translated it as “trying to cover up” by interpreting “つくろう” as “繕う”, however many people have preferred to read it as “作ろう” instead. This seems to have created a divide between whether the intention is to cover up/fix/repair or to make/create.

    Considering I have found the term “繕うとしています” to be very rare (6 results on Google), and the meaning “cover up” seems to be on a social/personal level, as in “to keep up appearances”, which doesn’t seem to fit very well with the context, I was wondering what you thought on “つくろうとしています” being read as “作ろうとしています”? Also, if I’m wrong on what you meant when translating it as “cover up”, please tell me as I’m quite interested in how you got the result.

    Thank you for taking the time to look over my queries.
    Qliphoth_Bacikal
    After over a year and a half of getting into Japanese and doing translations, I realized that instead of also posting the Japanese text, I could simply just post the translation in English while saving up the Japanese text when needed.

    Whether here or elsewhere like my blog, it took me THIS long to realize a lot of my workload would be done faster if I simply did what most translators do lol.
    Comicgyal
    Hey! I know you’re very busy with translating, so I don’t wish to overwhelm you as well. Would it be okay if I sent a request maybe once or twice a week? I don’t expect a translation in that week of course, just to see if that makes the load easier for you! ^^

    Thanks for all your help by the way.

    Hi Qliphoth,the translation in this thread is kinda controversial,can you come here to check it?I think 枝 分 か れ し て る is branching out(continous tense) because the word て るis used to describe one progress,but look like some people think that it's past tense so I think a Japanese translator like you can deal with this problem

    Online dictionaries, even watch stuff on Youtube about Japanese.

    The former is my main way of learning, which is by inspecting each kanji for any and all possible meanings to it. Which I’ve done quite a lot to learn some basics like sekai or hoshi and whatnot.

    Not a problem. I also go on to explain certain kanji too, just so people know what’s on there as well as giving maybe alternate translations if I have to also do that.

    It really depends.

    BTW in nasuverse, servants aren't true living beings, they are just ether in form of past individuals...
    So when you date a servant, do you just romance a non living piece of ether like a programmed robot? Kinda depressing to me...

    Hi Qliphthoth,
    Long time no see or heard from you. I owe you an apology a couple months back for when you got mad at me, I really am sorry for what I said back then and hope that you can forgive me, I just wasn't in the best mood back and lost control of my emotion, I shouldn't have said that to you.
    But I hope you are holding up well and that you are safe.

    Hey, Chase.

    Same to you. Although part of the reason I blocked you off (you're not blocked anymore btw, but you wouldn't have known that til now) is that I didn't want to be bombarded with being asked why I wasn't around in those servers anymore. Which in case you wonder, I just can't deal with some of those people I was in. Especially relating to Shinza and how I have to keep trying to explain something the best I can with them which is not a good thing to keep on doing. And I wasn't in the right mood either, hence my actions all here as said including being out of said Discord groups cuz...yeah those guys...

    But it's all good. Hope you're also doing fine and well. You ever wanna try talking again, my Discord is open as always. (Melancholic Poet#5240)
