Bleach Wiki:Translation Corner

The Translation Corner is a group of Bleach Wiki users who are tasked with translating the various names, abilities, techniques and etc. found in the Bleach Universe. Being that Bleach is a Japanese manga that use Japanese, Chinese, Indian, German, Spanish and English language in various instances and cases, the use of translators is a focal point to the continuation of accuracy on the wiki. All users should read our Translation Guidelines before you start translating.

Roles of the Translation Corner
The following are the duties of the corner:


 * 1. To assure the correctness of all translations that are presented on the site.


 * 2. To determine the outcome of 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.


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


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


 * 5. To determine the correct translation of General/Other translation issues (e.g. conjugation/miscellanea): This section is for requests about translations that don't fit any particular criteria such as conjugation or such things such as accents used in the names.

Translation Guidelines

 * Anyone doing any form of translation. Looking up on Google Translate or similar translation tools, is not translating. You are not doing the site any favors by doing amateur translation. Please refrain from using such tools.


 * This is not a conversation page. It is a simple question and answer page for translation. All conversations should be held on a particular user talk page or the talk page of this page.


 * Users should simply place their request and wait for it to be answered. To keep it simple, if the user posting the request has no real understanding of translation, the point is not for you to learn how to translate here. Usage of the page should extend no more then to asking for a translation to be done. Please refrain from badgering the translators for understanding on why a translation is translated a certain way. If you knew anything about translation you wouldn't be asking someone else to do it, therefore it makes no sense to argue with them.


 * If you are not a member of the translation corner, please do not answer translation questions. Leave it to our translators so as to avoid confusion.


 * Admin have the final say on the translation being placed into a article.

Error on Resurreción page
For "Fénix" it should read (不滅王 (フェニーチェ), Fenīche, but instead is (憤獣 (イーラ), which is actually Yammy's Ira. Rabukurafuto (talk) 22:04, October 12, 2013 (UTC)

Zanjutsu Instructor: Nagamoso Shūtetsu?
Can we please get some verification on the text from this picture from volume 60's in between chapter sketches. It purportedly reveals the name of this character as "Nagamoso Shūtetsu". Thanks, 11:03, October 17, 2013 (UTC)

Heilig Pfeil
On Yhwach someone copied the wrong katakana for the reading of Heilig Pfeil's Japanese name. It should be ハイリッヒ・プファイル Hairihhi Pufairu but someone wrote ハイリッヒ・ブファイル Hairihhi Bufairu and apparently this is contentious despite the fact that the Japanese pronunciation of other instances of the German word "Pfeil" is Pufairu.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 11:03, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

Chapter 556
For some reason, the 556 raw isn't out on mangahead yet, but a translated version's already up. In any case, Komamura introduces a new bankai. Well, sort of. It's apparently called "Kokujō Tengen Myōō Dangai Joue" and I'm kinda curious. Anyone? --Reikson (talk) 16:47, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Mangahead usually adds the raws a few days later, generally around Friday. Anyway, tacking on my own question to this. It may also need to be checked if this "Dangai Joue" is part of a new Bankai name, or if it's a new ability name for his improved Bankai.
