Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

Hello. Could someone help me translate these two sentences?

次の大会で結果を出さないと　実力のある生徒をスカウトするのに影響があるわよ？
特に立地が近い星奏学院には絶対に負けられないわね。

If we don't produce results in the next tournament, there will be an effect on scouting capable students?
We definitely can't lose to Seisou Academy that's especially close to us.

Please help me make sense of this line. 誰の為のあなたの為？ Somehow my brain refuses to parse it. Something like "For the sake of you who are for whose sake?"?

Or should it be two separate sentences, like "For whose sake? For your sake?"

I think it's two separate sentences as well. The last の in 誰の為の is just used to emphasize the need for explanation. See here, too: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/nounparticles

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

Can anyone help me to translate this, please??? (From Japanese to English)!!!!

Hello there! I see here are translations requests. Thank God, I find it .
My name is XOzelinkOX, and I'm currently reading InuYasha. There's a text (in a page from the manga) that isn't translated and I would like to really know what it's saying the text. I was hoping if you're willing to translate me a japanese text to either english or spanish. Please, acknowledge your answer and if you agree, I'll give you the image with the japanese text.

Ps. Please answer me when you read this!

Here is the image with the text with each character's information:

Spoiler: IMG

The characters are: Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru, Jaken, Rin, Kohaku, Kaede and Totosai. The good thing is that the information of each character is short, so it's not a big deal xD. I wish I could understand what's saying.

Please I beg you, help me with the translation. Reply me back if you already decided to translate it, please

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

@XOzelinkOX: I would try to translate it but a higher quality picture would surely help. My eyes hurt after trying to figure out the characters.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

@Dancing Wind: Unfortunately, those are the only ones of higher quality I could find

I will try to find another one, besides that: Do you know what does it says exactly in the picture (specially in the panels where they show Rin, Inuyasha and Kagome talking?). I really want to see your translation. I really want to understand what are Kagome and Inuyasha talking?

@XOzelinkOX
Here are JP transcripts for you to use online tools such as google translate to translate these character descriptions. (Copy and paste.)

犬夜叉(Inuyasha)：かごめに封印をとかれた半妖。四魂の玉の因縁を断ち切るため戦う。
かごめ(Kagome)：戦国時代にタイムスリップしてきた現代の少女。実家は神社。

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

@Mikkih

Thank you for trying to help me though another translator already helped me with the characters' information; so that's all finished, and btw, Google Translator kind of translate very bad, but still thanks.

EDIT. Finally upload the japanese version

@Everyone
HELP ME TO TRANSLATE THIS, PLEASE
1. From some months ago, I wanted to know what says in this three panels (Read from Right to Left):

Spoiler: IMG

I really want to know what does the japanese text says exactly, that's why I want some help.
Ps. Please, don't say like: "Oh but that page is already translated, look at the web"....As I said before, I really want to know what does the japanese text says exactly..

The conversation is written in Chinese, not Japanese, by the way.

Here's my translation. I've left it a bit rough since you wanted to know exactly what they say I haven't read Inuyasha and I have no idea what has happened before and after this scene so feel free to correct me.

りんちゃんも楓ばあちゃんに預けられて暮らしている。
Rin also is left in the care of Granny Kaede and lives with her.

りん：　殺生丸が連れてるのかと思ってた。
Rin: I was wondering whether to take Sesshomaru.

いぬやしゃ：　楓ばばあが言ってた。
Inuyasha: Old woman Kaede said.
人里に戻す訓練らしいぞ。 Return to Hitosaki to practice, it seems.
どっちでも選べるように。Whichever way you choose.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

りん：　殺生丸が連れてるのかと思ってた。
Rin: I was wondering whether to take Sesshomaru.

The speaker is Kagome who thought Rin was with Sesshomaru.

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

The speaker is Kagome who thought Rin was with Sesshomaru.

Oh, dear, guess I should read Inuyasha. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[XOzelinkOX]

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

Thank you for trying to translate me that page, though I'm a bit confused with this:

殺生丸が連れてるのかと思ってた。
Kagome: I was wondering whether to take Sesshomaru.

Does it says that literally? or maybe Kagome says like: "I though she was gone with Sesshomaru" or something similar to that?

人里に戻す訓練らしいぞ。 Return to Hitosaki to practice, it seems.
どっちでも選べるように。Whichever way you choose.

What is Hitosaki?? What does Inuyasha means like Hitosaki to practice?? O.o I'm confused.....
In other english versions the: どっちでも選べるように。 part it says like: "It seems like a practice to be human again, then she can choose either path" I'm I correct? Maybe I exagerated on having exact japanese translation....TT-TT What does Kagome and Inuyasha (mostly) means by those sentences. Please. I really want to know ...but still, thank you for trying to help!

Everyone is welcome to help too!

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

人里に戻す訓練らしいぞ。 Return to Hitosaki to practice, it seems.
どっちでも選べるように。Whichever way you choose.

It's training in order to return to the human world. So she may choose either.

Hitozato = human world. Or maybe human life is better. Depending on the specific context.

 

[XOzelinkOX]

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

It's training in order to return to the human world. So she may choose either.

Does Inuyasha exactly says: "So she may choose either.
", in the last panel (very left), or does he means that. I wanna know, please.

What I mean is that if Inuyasha in the last panel is trying to say that Rin will choose eithr path (when she grows up I guess), I'm I right or wrong?

 

[cmertb]

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

I don't really understand what you're asking, but here's the literal translation:
どっちでも = either, whatever it is; 選べる = be able to choose; ように = so that, in order to. Re-arrange it to the natural English word order and you get "So she may choose either" or "In order for her to be able to choose either". Note that "she" is not a part of the Japanese sentence, but it's implied from context, and you need the pronoun in English for it to sound natural.

 

[XOzelinkOX]

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

Ahh okay! thank very much!!
You answered my question well.
So yeah, what I understand Inuyasha said in proper english (in the last two panels) was: "She's training in order to return to the human world. So she may choose either." Thank you very much @cmertb

Does it says that literally? or maybe Kagome says like: "I though she was gone with Sesshomaru" or something similar to that?

Additional Info:

When you translate JP to ENG, you often need to add a few words, which are omitted.
殺生丸が連れてるのかと思ってた。 = 私は、殺生丸がりんをつれているのかと思ってた。
Subject of 思ってた/thought` is I (Kagome)
Object of 連れている/take; accompany is Rin

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread

This sentence has been driving me nuts:

やーやー我こそはドコドコ山の法師なりーっつってな

Context-wise, the speaker (an onmyoji) and his companions are heading up a mountain, and have suddenly been surrounded by people they think are Shugensha. In the bubble just before this line, it's clear that he's speaking to his companion, but I really can't tell who he's speaking to here, or what he's trying to say... "orz Help is much appreciated!
