I'm in need of a translator/translation service

[Yokosumari]

Hi, I'm sorry to bother anyone here, but can someone help me translate something into the Japanese language? Reason for this is that I'm writing a book and I think Japanese sounds so great with attack names (Such as Inu Yasha's "Kaze no Kizu") that I want to include it in my story. Now my story is in English so is it possible to get the translation into English characters rather than Japanese characters? For the purpose of the reader being able to at least read what I'm writing being that most people including myself in the USA can't read Japanese characters . I tried searching for a translation service that does this, but I have had no luck. However, I did come across this site which will hopefully end my search . The things I'm trying to get translated is:

"Soul Destroyer" and "Soul Stealer". Thanks alot for your help :-D

I think many equivalents in a translation to be thought for attack names.
私は攻撃名の訳語はいくらでも考えられると思います。

But it is creator's sense.
しかし、それはクリエイターのセンスです。

The back ground of the novel will relate to the choice of words, too.
言葉の選択には、小説の背景も関係するでしょう。

First of all, please examine the meaning of each word.
まず、それぞれの単語の意味を調べてみてください。

I think that You can name it by combining words.
私は、あなたが単語を組み合わせることによって、それの名前を決めることができると思います。

One idea...
Just put "妖刀", Youtou, like a prefix.
妖刀 村正
妖刀 虎徹
Both are thought to be evil swords in the J history. The words 村正 or 虎徹 don't have any evil meanings at all, but 妖刀 creates some mysterious connotations in the swords.

I don't know if 妖刀 Kitty chan has that kind of meaning, though.

Hello, pipokun.

妖刀 村正
妖刀 虎徹

Do you want to think about the name of the sword?
あなたは剣の名前を考えたいのですか？

I don't think that the hero shouts "Sword name!" when he attacks.
私は、攻撃する際にヒーローが「刀の名前！」を叫ぶとは思えません。

"Soul Destroyer" and "Soul Stealer".

If I do unsophisticated translation...
ひねらずに訳すならば……

Soul Destroyer ＝精神を破壊する者（せいしん を はかい する もの）
Soul Stealer＝魂を盗む者（たましい を ぬすむ もの）


How about you think the name in consideration of the effect of the attack?
攻撃の効果を考慮して名前を考えてみてはいかがですか?

 

[pipokun]

it was just for brainstorming purpose...
another idea
Use "kon" as the sound for "soul", instead of tamashii. And play word association game by yourself and create your own words. Japanese prefer 4 word idioms applying 4 Chinese characters. They usually sound confortable.
