are you trying to make up your own words? It's not working.

You don't consider them as free translations?

OK guys, here are the two paragraphs for you to translate:

２００７年内の完成を目指して鋭意製作中！
つまりまだ完成してません。

現在は定期的に
未完成バージョンを配布しながら
キャラクター製作中です。

Now give me a translation that expresses well.

nice gaijin · 12 Jan 2008

For next time, remember your manners when you ask for help.

２００７年内の完成を目指して鋭意製作中！つまりまだ完成してません。
We're earnestly working toward (our target of) completing (the project) by the end of 2007. In other words, we're still working on it.

現在は定期的に未完成バージョンを配布しながらキャラクター製作中です。
For now/in the meantime, we will release periodic beta versions as we continue to work on character development.

It seems that you are talking about games; the Japanese words in your first post do seem like spells or something, but your translations don't work.

In this thread, I will be expecting Translations with Expressions so
I will like support.

バイオハザード=Basicly Biohazard

Can "Resident Evil" be the Translation that expresses well?
Can you please check?

orochi · 12 Jan 2008

Resident Evil is not a translation of Biohazard.
It's a marketing strategy.

nice gaijin · 12 Jan 2008

are we actually talking about "translations" here? There are a variety of reasons why certain terms in a game are changed in different versions, rarely is it because the new version is an acceptable translation of the original.

for example, Pacman was originally Puck-man (the shape of the character and a pun based on the onomatopoeia パクパク. When it came to the states, they were worried that people would make dirty rhymes with the name, so it was changed to Pacman. This has nothing to do with translation.

I know you should say that. The true purpose of the thread is to see
if the English Names are the Translations that express the Japanese names.
And if they're not, I won't say them.

Now I'm really confused. *_*

Me, too. :bored:

filler, filler, filler.....

I was pointed at this thread from another one, and I must say I am convinced, the guy only goes for the posts, or the reputation.
In the latter case, unfortunately you get rep for stuff that holds some value, the things you wrote here make exactly

sense.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't like getting jerked around. Iwark, if you have a question, ask it. JREF is not a platform for your half-assed social experiments.

Nah he doesn't seem smart enough to be conducting social experiments.

Shitsumon ga arimasu.

はどうだん(hadou tan)=Pulse Bomb

eigo no namae wa "Aura Sphere" desu.

かいりき(kairiki)=Super Strength

eigo no namae wa "strength" desu.

Sono eigo no namae wa iyaku toshite mitomemasu ka?

Mou hitotsu no shitsumon ga arimasu

Mom: Hiroshi, do you some soup?

Hiroshi: No Thanks.

Mom: It's good.

Hiroshi: I'm fine.

Mom: OK, you don't know what you're missing.

In the 5th sentence what does "you don't know what you're missing" means? I checked www.alc.co.jp for it and as for the results there is
no answer. So, please tell me?

orochi · 14 Jan 2008

>はどうだん(hadou tan)=Pulse Bomb

>eigo no namae wa "Aura Sphere" desu.

What are you trying to say? Why are there two English translations? Is one of them yours? You are not making sense.

Pulse Bomb and Aura Sphere might both be fine. They might both be bad. We cannot answer your question.

And your conversation with mom and hiroshi is bad English. Nobody can help you with that.

None of them are mine.

Sorry If they're bad. I corrected them. I want the japanese way that expresses "you don't know what you're missing".

Kriffix · 14 Jan 2008

"Pulse bomb", "Aura sphere"? They sound to me like the attacks from the Japanese version of Pokemon.
I find this thread a tad confusing but i'll re-read and try to keep up~
