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.


 * If you are not a translation corner member and are answering posts or giving opinion on this page they will be removed, this is a translation corner member answer page, not a conversation page.

Zanpakutō (names, release calls, etc.)
Needing a much long awaited re-translation on Katen Kyōkotsu (花天狂骨) and the much more recent bankai Katen Kyōkotsu: Kuromatsu Shinjū. To use as a reference Mangastreams translation (Secret of Heavenly Blooming Madness: Black Pine Double Suicide or Bones of the Heavenly Blooming Madness) These are reasonably acceptable as translations. Hopefully within the confines of what we have come to expect of the translation we can find out whats what.--
 * I would translate Shunsui's Zanpakutō as "Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness", and his Bankai goes like that:

On Kyouraku's article the last bankai technique is mispelled: it says Shime no Dan: Itokirihasami Chizomeno Nodoboe, instead of Shime no Dan: Itokiribasami Chizome no Nodobue.Raw here. Also, someone can check the hiragana for Daruma-san ga Koronda tech? It says だぁるまさん が こぁろんだ that would be DAaRUMA-SAN GA KOaRONDA.--EvilDragonLord 16:39, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Zangerin
Also need a translation on Hado #78 Zangerin --

Schutzstaffel
The furigana listed for "Schutzstaffel" on several pages is incorrect. This image shows quite clearly that it's シュッツシュタッフェル (shuttsushutafferu). ~

Episode 230-265 sans 256
Having seen the considerable difference between the current title of Episode 256 ("Byakuya's anger, collapse of the Kuchiki family") and Adam's rendering of its kanji/kana ("The Enraged Byakuya! Collapse of the House of Kuchiki"), I've decided to do the same to the other episodes of the Zanpakutō and Tōjū arcs, so Adam, if you could take a crack at each of the following, I'd appreciate it very much.


 * Episode 245:


 * Episode 246:


 * Episode 247:


 * Episode 248:


 * Episode 249:


 * Episode 250:


 * Episode 251:


 * Episode 252:


 * Episode 253:


 * Episode 254:


 * Episode 255:


 * Episode 257: (note: I have a feeling the rōmanji here is off as well)


 * Episode 258:


 * Episode 259:


 * Episode 260:


 * Episode 261:


 * Episode 262:


 * Episode 263:


 * Episode 264:


 * Episode 265: (note: the kanji on this episode's page is actually from the previous episode, so if you could add what the kanji should actually be to your response, Adam, I'd greatly appreciate it)

Thanks a great deal in advance.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:12, January 26, 2014 (UTC)
