Hey Mandy, this is Alan Aka Kaibutsu from the Shoujo Ai forums, how've you been?

Holy crap rezzo of DOOM! XD How are you doing? i quit going there years ago! :3 Feel free to email me sometime, hope you have a most excellent holiday season...

i hope everyone here does! :)

you both from.. Shoujo-aiheavens? In case you are wondering Clara has returned drop back in. OH and the emma cosplayer who is a guy.. Get a sex change you look sexy as a woman.

>>1985 No, i'm not from SIHeavens, SI is a site i visited years ago...and i'll do my best to take "OH and the emma cosplayer who is a guy.. Get a sex change you look sexy as a woman." as a compliment...it was a JOKE someone made, i AM a woman. 9.9 How i love the internet.

OH im sorry amazon! really. my apologies. Oh well. Yeah it should be a compliment anyway though. you look very pretty in that costume.

>>1987 LOL no worries, thank you very much!

What is with the thread rezzo/post deleting? Why is someone doing this >.<

Some kind of horribly broken spam bot is posting randomized garbage to these threads. It's not even including any working links, it's just posting shit.

>>3113
Ahh ok..thanks...i thought it was a troll..

Well here's the beginning of a translation:

Anyone feel like figuring out the rest?

At some point, I should get this script integrated with the image board, to make this kind of stuff easier.

More info on the script itself here: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1111785884/

That's a pretty nifty annotation gadget.

BTW, I've added a few minor bits.

Hmm...
vc: bonish ("Having an erect penis"?)

>>559
That script is so sexy I get a party in my pants.

It just got sexier!

Make sure to reload to get the new JS and CSS files loaded, and make sure to use Firefox to make it pretty. (It works in IE, but is significantly less sexy.)

Context really is critical when trying to translate Japanese. Just dumping lines out of context like that is not likely to be all that useful.

Since I don't know how much context you need:

http://rapidshare.com/files/17963300/05_nanako-chan_sos_.txt.html

This is the text file the line numbers refer to.

I haven't read the whole text, so this can be incorrect.

L78:
(1) It seems X asked Y what is the content of a book or letter. (This is just a random guess, but possibly a cursed item, like "Death Note".)

L78 seems Y's answer. Y teased X by NOT telling what it was, saying, "(Giggling) You'll enjoy it if you read it. Well, pay one year of your lifetime in return."

(Maybe the latter half of the line is a joke.)

L219
Maybe firstly X said to Y that X would cook something for Y. And then X admitted X was not a good cooker.

"Even I said so, all I can cook are Chaahan (fried rice), Kimch Chaahan -- Chaahan with Kimchi, or fried vegetables that just I throw all of them around there at once into the pan."

Thanks, you've been very helpful!

L1882:

It seems the hard times they had to go through ended rather suddenly.
"呆気（あっけ）" is "a surprise."
Literally, "あっけなく" means "without a surprise." But this phrase usually implies something ended suddenly without any preceding sign or event that could have surprised or impressed you.
(By the way, "あっけに とられる" means "be very surprised.")

L1882:
The ending/final/conclusion came suddenly like a parcel delivered by an express service.

L759 is very difficult to me. So, I write some hint only.

What I can read from the line is:
(1) X had a very hard time before.
(2) So, X believed X understood what death was like.
(3) But the speaker Y thinks X doesn't really know it yet.
(4) Y may be a little sarcastic or regretting.

(There is some possibility that X and Y are the same person and Y is regretting his own misconception.)

I don't know how to translate なまじ.
なまじ is an adverb, which means a certain fact generally considered to be good is counterproductive in the mentioned special case because its amount is not enough to produce good result or is inappropriate for the occasion; and it would be worse than nothing.

For instance, suppose someone who inherit some money started a new business and becomes bankrupt; He is now poorer than before he got the money. People would say "なまじ遺産をもらったせいで、彼は不幸になった." (Regrettably, the fact he inherited the money made him unhappy.)

Amusing indeed. It might be worth translating, if somebody wants to help out: http://wakaba.c3.cx/notes/notes.pl?image=http%3A%2F%2Fiitran.secchan.net%2Fimg%2Fsrc%2F1172072339417.jpg

I know that's Homeo back there, but... is that Shirley in the black outfit? And who are the other two? Or are all three just random maids?

Left to right, they're Shirley, Hidoi, Homeo and Yukko.

バサ is a sound of a flap of a large wing(s). You can also use this word as a sound of a bunch of paper falling onto something.

>>3085

Very interesting, and thanks!!

I thought I'd try this one. I figured 何人目 probably meant which incarnation of Rei Shinji was talking to, but anyone got another idea?

Im sorry for freaking out here but what the hell is CHARLEY BROWN DOING IN JAPAN?????

Peanuts has been translated and reprinted in papers in almost every country on earth.

>>3042
....Did you bother to click the thumbnails?

Did someone say Charlie Brown and Japan!??

JAPAN IS SUPERIOR

Except those three weren't made in Japan and don't really do anything for the original characters at all. Or were you being sarcastic?

It seems Kami-Amakusa city, Kumamoto prefecture.
(I guess the map is a bit rotated clockwise.)

Kumamoto:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumamoto_Prefecture

Kami-Amakusa:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kami-Amakusa%2C_Kumamoto

"266" is a route number.
The building at the center of the map is Kami-Amakusa police office. (as a landmark?)

By the way, where are you going to?

The block number of the address written on the website is 7625. So I guess it's somewhere around this but not sure.

Maybe it's a very small port.
