Bleach Wiki:Translation Corner

The Translation Corner is a place where a group of users can get together and help maintain the wiki by keeping it up to date on the actual translations of the various names, abilities, techniques and etc. found in the Bleach Universe.

Purpose of Project
The purpose of this project, as stated above, aims to help the site stay accurate in actual translations of the information used on site. The project will aim to give clear and concise information of translation for all the Japanese/Spanish/German phrases, techniques and general content that have transpired in the Bleach universe.

How the Corner Works
The usage of the corner is very simple. The page is set up in four sections.


 * Contentious Translations: If a translation is questioned at all, that should be brought up in this section. In this way a translator, committee member or admin can explain why the translation is used or conversation can take place for translations that are harder to classify.


 * Zanpakutō (names, release calls, etc.): This section is for requests for translation of zanpakuto and zanpakuto related translations.


 * Character and element (e.g. devices) names: This section is for requests for translation of characters/techniques/equipment and general key words.


 * General/Other translation issues (e.g. conjugation/miscellanea): This section is for requests about translations that dont fit any particular criteria such as conjugation or such things such as accents used in the names.

AssociateBox
Ok folks I have finally gotten around to makeing the Associate Box. You can put it on your user page using the command. Below is what the box looks like. Tinni  (Talk)  14:37, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hadou #88

 * Shouldn't it be Hiryūgekizokushintenraihō, not Hiryugekizokushintenraiho, because that is the current title on its page and the Kidou list.

Senjū Kōten Taihō
A user placed the below as the kanji and romaji for Senju Koten Taiho's incantation. Can we have a confirmation?-- "(千手の涯, 届かざる闇の御手, 映らざる天の射手! 光を落とす道, 火種を煽る風! 集い手惑うな, 我が指を見よ! 光弾・八身・九条・天経・症宝・大輪・灰色の砲塔! 弓引く彼方, 皎皎どして消ゆ!, Senjuu no hate, todokazaru yami no mite, utsurazaru ten no ite! Hikari wo otozu michi, hidane wo aoru kaze! Tsudoi temadou na, waga yubi wo miyo! Koudan, hasshin, kujou, tenkei, shippou, dairin, haiironohoutou! Yumihiku kanata, koukou toshite kiyu!) "


 * Sounds all well and good... --Reikson (talk) 00:28, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Tenken's Special Ability
Someone on Komamura's talk page brought up that Tenken's ability is described as being able to summon any giant limb, even though it has only ever been used to summon arms. Does his page from MASKED mention anything about the ability that could clear this up? Mohrpheus  (Talk)  16:18, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Byakuya's Blood Type
This page from Unmasked apparently says that Byakuya's blood type is AB as opposed to the previous O which was given in past databooks. Can I get a confirmation on this please.--

Technique Names
I was holding off posting this so as not to flood the corner with too much stuff, but I'm posting it now so I don't forget about it altogether. Apologies for the deluge. In the "Special Program" section of UNMASKED, there are a number of pages listing technique names dating back to the start of the story (pictures 5-12 above). Take your time with this. There's a lot of stuff there, so no rush. 10:22, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I showed spanish speaking friend a scan of the first page from picture 5 from unmasked. She translated palma plancha as "iron palm", hierro virgen as "iron virgin", jaula tentaculo as "tentacle cage", la helice as "the propeller" she didn't feel comfortable giving a translation for lanza tentaculo, and lengua tronco. Likely because we'd started doing shots by then.Licourtrix (talk) 11:20, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can someone confirm these? Mad Rest 11:19, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll try to confirm these--and seek out *dem* precious underlying Kanji for the techniques--very soon. My summer vacation is almost here :) :) :) !


 * And you're almost surely right in your suggestions re: some of the romanizations, e.g. how der should prob. be del... of course, most of these compounds are grammatically incorrect as Kubo usu. is... this also, I believe, happened in MASKED when Zommari's technique was romanized Amore (Italian for "love") rather than Amor (the Spanish form).


 * P.S. Hope you don't mind, but I removed some of the massive blank space between the above post's two paragraphs, since the list of names is already pretty long. :) Adam Restling (talk) 11:34, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Bringer Light translation
Excuse me, but I was reading the Fullbring Article, I cannot seem to find the kanji or katakana for Bringer Light, and if I were to get it wrong, it would be undone. What did the raw manga call "Bringer Light" accurately? Dekoshu talk contrib 03:15, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Ulquiorra's Past & Harribel's Fate
Okay, here's what she gave me for Ulquiorra. The -- indicate seperate panels

The one about Harribel is significantly longer so she's giving that to me tommorrow.

Hey, I have the translations for Harribel's story now. She said it would take her a while to give me exact page by page translations because of all the Bleach words that are used in Kanji, but she'd give me the most important things from the translation today.

That's what she gave me so far.
