Bleach 216

Thank you very much for you work!

Thanks a lot, can i use this for a dutch translation again?

This chapter is..... ehmz..... wow!

Feel free to use any of my scripts for cross-translation purposes. The only part that may be a little iffy is the spazzing out part, but again, it's in the translation notes.

That's just brilliant, Djudge. Thanks a bunch.

Pity I just finished translating the other version into Spanish. Oh well...give me a few minutes :)

[EDIT] Er... the "spazzing out" thingy is actually turning out to be a bit tricky :$ Could you (or someone) give us foreign bastards some kind of definition? Is it something in the lines of "shivering", or something like "spacing out"? Yare yare... Thanks in advance!

You're on the right track there. It's like twitching or having muscle spasms.

Also, I resolved the line where I thought Hiyori was speaking to Hachi, and changed the "Hage" to the English "fool" for a loose translation within that context.

much clearer translation. Thanks bunches.

Almost finished, thanks a lot Djudge ;) Click this to go there Though with Bleach and especially this chapter, there are a lot of sayings and words that don't exist as such in dutch :huh, so i've had to make some sentences up... It's not very literally, so you won't be able to compare languages and the like that well...[br]Posted at: February 23, 2006, 09:48:02 PM_________________________________________________
Hiyori 「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」


I Cannot see some signs you typed, maybe i'm missing some kind of language for IE?! But anyways, does Hayori say something here? Or what was written here... It's her last line in the chapter...

thanks djudge! :smile-big

Those are just ...'s in Hiyori's line.

Also, the JP script I translated was again in shorthand. Added a line about Ichigo's Hollow, a Shiromono, being special in the last lines for Hirako.

Thanks for your trans, djudge! :hug

much clearer translation. Thanks bunches.


my point exactly.

thank you very much...great translation

Thank you djudge. :)

Thanks djudge..

Just to point out, Vizard should be "Visored". The line in page 2 makes this clear. See Airy's translation and my comments for more detail.

Actually, after looking the word up, I believe Djudge's wording isn't really off:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=vizard
http://www.indictionary.com/define/vizard.html
http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/difficultwords/data/d0013641.html
http://www.bartleby.com/61/23/V0132300.html

I'll admit that using "Vaizard" isn't correct, but I think I'll be using "Vizard" instead. The direct reference to masks works for me.

Edit: So be it.

Ummm... that still is incorrect. Vizard only refers to the visor or mask itself. "Visored" refers to a person who is visored. Furthermore the katakana is ヴァイ and not ヴィ. It is a translators mission to translate the meaning of words accurately first... not merely make something sound "cool".

I am quite sure you would also agree that the intent of the katakana is to spell out the word "Visored". Simply putting Vizard in spite of this knowledge is ridiculous. Vizard is an archaic word that no one would get the meaning of in either English or Japanese. Vizard may sound cooler, but it has NO meaning for speakers of either language. It's unacceptable even as lame as the name "Visored" may be.

The name of the masked group is quite clearly "Visored" as hammered in by page 2 of this chapter. Changing to a sort of similar word just because it bears similarity to the original name you had misses the entire point of calling it Visored in the first place. "Visored" gives a CLEAR meaning which represents the katakana as well and is the only word that makes sense in the sentence on page 2. Calling it "Vizard" is no different from "Vaizard" since Vizard is no more intelligible to the reader. Please change the name back to "Visored" as this chapter finally has made clear their name!
