User blog:Caudyr/Poll about the methods for doing translation notes in the days.

Which method would you prefer the translation notes to be done in? (examples below using Day 176's notes) Method 1 (the old method) Method 2 (the new method)

Method 1 (Old Method)
 Mistelone's Notes 


 * One of the Rank Up's mentioned in the first line, ヤフル (Yafuru), is actually also known as 猿鬼 (Monkey Ogre). However, I decided to use the katakana name just to remain the same with the other species names though I'd note it here just for clarification.
 * The author seems to have made a mistake in Ji's name (the cleric). Usually, the character used for his name is 治 and that's what I saw in the raws from previous days since he got introduced. However, in this Day, the author uses 冶 for the one time the guy is mentioned. If you notice, the only difference between 治 and 冶 is one less stroke for the latter so this is most likely an honest mistake. Still, this actually threw me into a loop since I couldn't find information about the guy with the name 冶 which is pronounced as Ya until I saw the similarities between Ji's name and the wrong character used.
 * The Katakana name of the new sword Rou gets is something I'm unsure of. For now, I have translated the katakana above the Kanji name (ネイレティス) into Neiletis which I think is alluding to Nautilus.
 * Also, one of the abilities the sword has confuses me. This ability is 【水精の卵】 which I have translated into Water Spirit Origin, based on what others said. However, its possible that the first two characters, 水精, might mean Crystal since that's what I get from some translation attempts. That could change the meaning into Crystal's Origin as 卵 can be translated as beginning / origin. For now though, I'll stick with Water Spirit Origin until someone can confirm or correct this.
 * There are a lot of messages and names of things like gods here and it caused quite a bit of a trouble when I tried to translate them, especially the messages Rou gets when he started and finished his battle against Water Hero. One of the things that definitely needs to be checked over but it should still be accurate enough to be understandable.

 Caudyr's Notes 


 *  Changed "Gill-Ogre" to just be "Half Fish Demon"...because the katakana is Giruro~ga...so the Gill part is probably right, but the Ogre part certainly isn't...and I couldn't make any sense of it...so...I decided it's probably best to just throw out the rubi and go with the actual kanji, which DOES make sense. If anyone can actually figure out what ギルローガ (Giruro~ga...with the o being elongated)is trying to say, let me know...but unless it's a mispelling by the author, it's not Gill-Ogre (though it certainly COULD simply be a mispelling, but who knows). XD
 *  Changed Seiji's blessing from "Demigod of Affection's Divine Protection" to "Demigod of Compassion's Divine Protection"...the two kanji together technically mean "Affection/Kindness/Love"...but when you separate them they mean "Mercy" and "Affection/Love" individually...which sounds like compassion to me. GT also returns that as well, though that doesn't mean it's right. It can always be changed if it turns out that that's wrong...but given who gets it, I kind of have my doubts. ^^
 *  Changed "82mm caliber mortars" to just be "82mm mortars" because that seemed a bit redunant, and it sounded better this way without taking away any meaning from the sentence. :D
 *  Changed mention of the [Revolution] Corps to just be "assault force" because there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO mention of Revolution in this line. There's absolutely no mention of him actually doing this with his own corp...just that he's leading the assault on the gate.
 *  While I was consulting with a friend about one of the announcement lines, he mentioned that "Eschatology: War and Conquest" was actually "Eschatology: War of Conquest"...so I changed it to reflect that. I'll fix other instances of it on the wiki, as well. ^^
 *  Changed ability name of "Wailing Wyvern's Body" to "Flesh Wyvern's Wail"...because it's an ability similar to the Ghost Cry, as in...it's a vocal ability. ^^
 *  Changed ability name of "Confusion of the Dead" to "Chaotic Ghost". I did this because it's an ability that allows Rou to fuse together spirits into stronger spirits, and the author's description mentions that it can quickly turn weak ghosts into "Great Evil Spirits." Also, the ability name's translation is TECHNICALLY RIGHT as Confusion of the Dead, but it could also be Chaotic Ghost, Ghost of Chaos, Chaos Ghost, etc...and I felt that Chaotic Ghost sounded awesome and fit the ability...so that's what I changed it to! I'll update the ability list on my blog post so people can read that description once this is done. :D
 *  Changed 【Those who struggle together／Companions of the Important Existence (Subcast)】 to just be 【Those Who Struggle Together／Sub-cast】 because even though there's no rubi above the kanji for "Sub-important person"...the same kanji is used when referring to Avenger's companions in the past...and they DO have rubi above them that says "Sub-cast"...sooo...CONSISTENCY! XD
