Bleach Wiki:Translation Corner

The Translation Corner is a group of Bleach Wiki users who the task to translate 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 are 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.

"Tenchi Kaijin" misspelled
Sorry to pollute the recently-archived corner already (XD), but I chanced to notice that in Zanka no Tachi's "North" ability, correct Tenchi ~ is misspelled Tenchi n ~ on Yamamoto's page. I tried to fix it (since it was minor), but am forbidden from editing the page; and for expedience, I'm bring this up here. Adam Restling (talk) 00:42, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

"I permit you."
I just realized that we're missing them, but what are the kanji and literal translation for the command Riruka that uses for her Dollhouse ability? Mohrpheus  (Talk)  15:29, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * According to the Japanese Wiki, the word for "permission" is, *apparently*, 許可 kyoka. But to confirm this, and get an accurate rendering of the phrase she uses it in, I implore someone who has it to post a pic from the raw--according to our refs on her page, it's mentioned in ch. 434 pgs. 13-17, and ch. 441 pg. 17. Raws from that "far" back in the series are hard to come by (at least for me) these days... Adam Restling (talk) 21:39, September 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * "あんたを許可する"わ("anta wo kyokasuru" wa) — ЖенёqSig.png 22:25, September 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you much, Zhyenyoq :). Looks like Riruka, at least in addressing Ichigo, uses the above, putting it in quotes, even. Anta is a coarse informal form of anata "you"--almost exclusively used by women--made the object of the following verb by the accusative particle wo; and kyokasuru is simply the verb "permit" formed from the noun kyoka permission; wa is the feminine verb-subsequent particle.

Incorrect name kanjis
On Heizō Kasaki's article the kanjis for his name are incorrect, those are the kanjis for "Seinosuke Yamada"; it should be these kanjis 笠城 平蔵. Evidence is provided with this image: --EvilDragonLord(talk) 19:01, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hurtless Area
Sorry to bother you with more Fullbringer arc shenanigans. I thought we had it somewhere, but could you translate the literal Japanese term for Byakuya's Hurtless Area? Luckily we already have the raw this time around: Mohrpheus  (Talk)  04:15, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nothing to be sorry for; Fullbring Arc stuff is as important as aught else :).


 * Looks like it's 無傷圏 mushōken "woundless zone". Adam Restling (talk) 05:02, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
