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.

Haschwalth Stern Ritter's Grandmaster Tile
I am not sure about my interpretation of his title of Stern Ritter's Grandmaster, but as far as I see from raw it goes like : 星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター) Shuterunrittā, [最高位], Saikōi [グランドマスター] Gurandomasutā) which Kanji literally means a : pride of place;  most prominent;  top-ranking, and as "Emperor's Advisor" 補佐 (Hosa) and it literally means : aid;  help;  assistance;  assistant;  counselor;  counsellor;  adviser;  advisor, and I leave it to You Guys, officially working in Translation Corner to decide how to properly spell his titles. here I put link to raws if would be needed to verification. Have a nice day Guys ;) Mad6 (talk) 13:11, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Kosō Renbu
Hey, would someone mind translating Kosō Renbu, one of the techniques of Matsuri Kudō's Zanpakutō? Here's the kanji for it 虎陶円舞 --Xilinoc (talk) 00:36, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

While this is here, I realized Fujimaru's equivalent of the ability, Ryū Tenzoshu (Kanji - 竜天蒼瞬), is also lacking a translation. The Kanji of the remaining four abilities (when a different type is chosen: Iryu Shoshei, Ryutei Senkoku, Moko Koho, and Muge Tsurure), are also missing, so those might be needed.
 * Someone put a wrong romanization of last 2 Kanji of this technique 虎陶円舞. "円舞" don't means Renbu, but "Enbu" which literally means a "Circle Dance", and 虎陶 which translates to Kosō, literally means Porcelain Tiger; Ryū Tenzoshu (竜天蒼瞬) literally translates to : Heavenly Pale/Azure Dragon Blink but I'm not sure. Unfortunately I don't have a kanji for a 4 last techniques. Mad6 (talk) 14:26, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
