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.

Contentious Translations

Zanpakutō (names, release calls, etc.)

Character and element (e.g. devices) names

"Time-Space Regression"

As noted here, Hachigen refers his barriers as "Time-Space Regression" when comparing with Orihime's powers, yet I've checked in both manga and anime of the respective chapter referenced, there is no mention of such an actual term. Possibly wrong chapter referenced, or a misunderstanding on my part, but please put in the proper kanji and romaji if available. Yatanogarasu (talk) 06:24, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Go for now with {{translation|Time-Space Regression|時空退行|Jikū Taikō}. I will dig into it later to validate it or correct. 【I'm just... Mad | 語聞見】 19:29, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Kin and Bankin

Just bringing this up again, but some possible inconsistencies were brought up before in regards to Bankin and Kin. Just in case, could someone check on these translations?

禁 - currently "Seal"

卍禁 - currently "Great Seal"

初曲・止繃 - currently "First Song - Halting Wrap"

弐曲・百連閂 - currently "Second Song - Hundred Serial Bolts"

終曲・卍禁太封 - currently "Final Song - Full Ban Great Mount"

Mohrpheus (Talk) 21:29, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

In my humble opinion, the whole thing with Kin and Bankin is just misunderstanding. Kin can translate to : prohibition; (to) ban; (to) forbid, so to make it more right, I would put the Kidō Kin as not Seal but as "Prohibition", and Bankin as "Full Prohibition". The Next to correct Would be :
  • Prologue - Halting Wraps (初曲・止繃, Shokyoku - Shihyō)
  • Refrain - Serial Hundred Bolts (弐曲・百連閂, Nikyoku - Hyakurensen)
  • Finale - Fully Prohibited Great Seal (終曲・卍禁太封, Shūkyoku - Bankin Taihō). 【I'm just... Mad | 語聞見】 11:24, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Sankt Altar

608's raw is out, and the only technique we need stuff for is Sankt Altar (raw page here). Kanji, kana, and translation would be greatly appreciated, as always.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:45, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

According to raw: Sankt Altar (簒奪聖壇 (ザンクト・アルタール), Sandatsu Seidan (Zankuto Arutāru); Japanese for "Usurpation Altar"; German for "Saint Altar"). 【I'm just... Mad | 語聞見】 11:24, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Karin's Shoot of Death

File:Karin's Shoot of Death.jpg

Volume 10, Page 198

Can someone translate the kanji for "Karin's Shoot of Death"? If it helps, what I gathered from the image was カリン流絶命シュート Also, can someone confirm if what she says in the anime matches with this? I'm asking because it seems she says something different from what is here. Evidence for this would be Episode 33 and the omake of Episode 55. Thanks in advance. Bleach3p (talk) 13:37, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

It's :"Karin-Style Annihilation Shoot" (カリン流絶命シュート, Karin-ryū Zetsumei Shūto)

General/Other translation issues (e.g. conjugation/miscellanea)

Episode 230-265 sans 256

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

Sorry I've been dead for so long, and prob. will be for a while yet :(--it's always busier in the spring and summer.

Prob. most of these are pretty close to correct, but I'll check and give mine if it seems apt (a lot of it will come down to aesthetic, e.g. when a more straightly-lit. interpretation seems too stilted). I'll prob. also do these in "installments", since there are so many, and that way I *hope* to avoid careless mistakes etc.

230 I'm not sure why -ka is hyphenated--in English we don't say material-ize(d)/ization--but I dunno if it's just the habit on the wiki or not.

231 It seems it's better as Byakuya, Sakura to Tomo ni Kiyu, but yeah, it's pretty much "Byakuya, Disappearing With the Cherry Blossoms/Sakura".

232 Madoi can mean "perplexing", but it seems chiefly to mean "delusion, beguiling" and thus, owing to this and the word order, *I* would translate it something like "Sode no Shirayuki vs. Rukia! Delusion of the Heart".

237 Since ~seyo is apparently an alternative imperative of the verbalizing suffix ~suru "do", I would prob. translate "Sui-Feng, Surround the Zanpakutō".

238 Keno seems better translated to "aversion, disgust", but this may be a split-hair-ity.

239 Again, it seems to be an imperative in the first line (目覚めよ mezameyo), sic. "Awaken, Hyōrinmaru!". Also, gekitou, according to this wiki's habits, should be gekitō.

240 Based on the word order etc, I'd've used "The Treacherous Byakuya" but, again, splitting hairs, perhaps.

242 May be nitpicking, but shouldn't we just use the ampersand (&) instead of the word and? Plus, sou~ (as above -> ) in this usage is prob. a prefix, so it should prob. be one word, sōshutsugeki.

244 This is tough, since man o ji shite (if we're following the above habit of separating the verb stem from forms of suru like seyo and shite) seems to, more lit., mean "holding/having the fullness", but seems to be meant to express "wait for the chance/opportunity; bide one's time", so I prob. would've used "Awaiting His Chance..."

I'll try to finish next time I edit :). Adam Restling (talk) 11:37, April 30, 2014 (UTC)


Ch. 608 Title

File:Ch608Cover.png

Kanji is in the ink splatter on the left-hand side.

While we're waiting for a raw to get the kanji and stuff for Sankt Altar, we've already got the kanji for this week's title due to neither scanlator being ballsy enough to substitute words in the ink splatter. A translation for it, as well as providing the kanji making up the name (image provided at right), would be greatly appreciated.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:03, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

As the Chapter's name blend with ink in clear version, in raws it's bold in right down corner: "Darker than Black" (黒より黒し, Kuroyori Kuroshi). 【I'm just... Mad | 語聞見】 11:24, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
