EcchiOujisama Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 As you guys may have seen, I'm taking a stab at translating Majikoi Drama CD vol.1.

These are the little vignettes that play when you quit the game.

Awesomeguy247 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 hello could you guys help me with translating these six sets of texts Quote 三つ編み・そばかす・瓶底眼鏡の女の子。大人しく遠慮がちな性格だが、心優しく、周りで彼女の事を悪く言う者はいない。「眼鏡を外すと、いや外さなくても可愛い」とは彼女の主人の言葉。甘い物とご主人様が大好き。 Quote 活発な女の子 口より先に手が出るタイプ。大体のことはそつなくこなし、頼まれ事も「まったく…」といいながらやってくれる。しかし自分の想定外の事が起こると戸惑う事も本人曰く奉仕することは嫌いではないらしい。 Quote 愛嬌のある容姿の小動物系メイド。毎日の掃除洗濯で鍛えられ、大量の洗濯物を一度で運ぶことが出来る。愛らしい笑顔と人懐っこさで先輩メイド達にも可愛がられており、出会うたびにほっぺをプニプニされています。 Quote 毎日出勤したうえでクラブ内でサボる駄メイド。お客に紛れて他のメイドにちょっかいを出したりソファーで寝たり、やりたい放題のアウトロー。一方で任された仕事はそつなくこなすのでしかるにしかれない。 Quote 一見するとクールな美女だが、その正体は夜伽が大好きな生粋の淫乱メイド。面倒見の良い性格だが、男性を誘惑することが趣味で、彼女の色欲は留まることを知らない。乱暴なプレイやSMプレイは嫌いらしい。 Quote 泣いている子どもも立ち所に笑顔に変える不思議な魅力を持った『CLUB C-take』のメイド長。見た目の可憐さとは裏腹に、非常に活発で行動力がある。身長が低く、いまだに未成年に間違われるのが悩み。 Quote
stormwyrm Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 So now I've finally finished the main Light Arc of Arcana, and am getting around to translating the endings. Since there are a total of 15 heroines, and 14 of which have endings in the Light Arc (only Dominante, the demonic fairy, doesn't have an ending in the Light Arc), there's quite a bit to go. I've finished two of them so far, Primo the Fairy and Princess Harp, and now I'm taking the other twelve in turn. I'm translating Analiese's ending at the moment, who is a scholar and librarian whom Caprese first meets while he is researching some lore. After realising that he is the one with no Icon of legend, she sends him off to fight in a war with infidels, and in this ending Caprese decides to see her again. She apologises for forcibly sending him off to war like that, and their conversation continues: Analiese: あなたは望んでイコンを持たなかったわけじゃないもの… Caprese: …でもさ… Analiese: え? Caprese: 確かに望んでそうなったわけじゃないけど…それはそれで運命だし、生まれたときからそうだったんだから、今の俺があるのはイコンを持たなかったからだよ。それはアナリーゼも同じだろ?望んだわけじゃないけど、法王の姪だから、今みたいな考えになって、\nここにいる。それを否定することはないよ The last portion I don't quite get. Here's a rough translation I've made of the rest. Analiese: You didn't wish to be the one with no Icon in the first place... Caprese: But you know... Analiese: Eh? Caprese: Certainly, I didn't wish it it but... Then that was destiny, decided from the day I was born, so being the one without an Icon is part of who I am now. Isn't it the same with you, Analiese? You didn't wish to become the niece of the Hierophant... (I struggle to make sense of the rest) Quote

And that's why you are here, right now, thinking the way you do. You don't need to deny that." It's hard to make a character/context appropriate translation without more. But it reads like Analiese might not like being the Hierophant's niece so much or think she's not up to the position. He's saying "I am who I am because I was born without an Icon. You are who you are because you were born as the Hierophant's niece. There's no point denying destiny." stormwyrm 1 Quote

I'm pretty sure Mizunokuchi is the name of a place, not a person. The second one 2010年宇宙の旅 is 2010: Odyssey Two, the sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. In 2010 the film climaxes with Jupiter gets turned into a miniature Sun to fuel the growth of new life on Europa. So obviously someone is a sci-fi nerd. How that relates to gaming I have no idea. Also the formatting for this site sucks. Is there a way to edit in HTML? EcchiOujisama 1 Quote

Yes, that sounds about right given the wider context of the story, which I really can't fully expound on here, other than to say that being in that position forced her to make the difficult decision to send Caprese into to war against his will after she realised what he was. Thanks for the clarification! Quote
onlyMyRailgun Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I've been having a bit of trouble trying to parse this sentence. Something about it is just throwing me off and I can't tell why. そして暗黒ジークンドーとは闇のスーフォーで暗黒面に落ちたブルー_r ３が異世界パンゲアに召喚された先で自得した謎の武術！ As for context, two characters are walking alone at night and one of them says that it's kind of dangerous. She continues to say that there's nothing to fear though because she knows 'Dark Jeet Kun Do'. She explains that normal Jeet Kun Do is a martial art developed by Bruce Lee, then comes this sentence where I can tell she's further explaining what the 'dark' variation she supposedly knows is, but I can't quite parse it correctly into English. Thank you in advance for any help. Quote
Parallel Pain Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Dark Jeet Kun Do, on the other hand, is a mysterious martial arts created by Bruce Lee when he was corrupted by the dark side of the force and summoned to the parallel world of Pangaea. onlyMyRailgun 1 Quote
stormwyrm Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Got another one, this time it's Grandi's ending. Context is that Caprese has lain down on the side of the road one night while hungry and has lost consciousness. Grandi's soldiers find him and bring him to her. When he comes to, she asks him: Grandi: 体は大丈夫か?何か持ってこさせよう That last verb 持ってこさせよう is in an unfamiliar form. According to my references it is a 'causative volitional' or 'causative potential volitional' form of 持ってくる. I gather it might mean something like 'trying to bring something' but I am not certain of this. Any hints on how to translate it? Quote
Parallel Pain Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Having absolutely no idea what "causative volitional" mean, I'll just transfer it. Are you all right? (Are you feeling all right? Literally "Is your body all right?") Shall I have them (someone/her soldiers) bring something? stormwyrm 1 Quote
