Re: Top of the World 10th live mix
Hello,

I've added the tabber. If you use source mode here's an explanation on how to add a tabber. A quick summary of the code would be:

NAME TAB 1 = content here NAME TAB 2 = content here

I tried to find out how you can add it in the Classic text-rich editor but I couldn't find anything on that unfortunately (nor could I figure it out when I tried the editor myself).

Have a nice day =).

Re: You Are My Ruthless Queen
It took a bit of digging, but HayakawaP referred that that YouTube channel in this blog post, so It seems like it's theirs. Amandelen (talk) 09:38, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

Song Translation Requests
I'm curious. Do you take song translation requests or no?

Re: Angelica producer
Hello,

I couldn't find any of their songs on here, so I don't think there is a category for them yet either.

For me it says that the YouTube video was uploaded on 15.2.2018 and that both the NND and piapro upload were uploaded on 2.16.2018. If you have other dates, I'm assuming it's some kind of timezone thing.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day =).

Amandelen (talk) 10:01, March 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah I added it to VocaDB. It wasn't there yet and it's quite easy to add songs there so I figured I might as well. Amandelen (talk) 09:06, March 12, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Singable Lyrics
Hello,

Just wanted to give a quick thank you for your reply to Lurrie's question. It's much appreciated =). Amandelen (talk) 21:54, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

snobbism
Sorry, don't mean to bug you; just wanted to double-check and see if you saw my comment on the SNOBBISM page. No rush to check the lyrics, just figured I'd drop a line and make sure it didn't get lost :p

Tamumumu (talk) 10:06, March 26, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, thank you so much for going out of your way to add your suggestions; they were incredibly helpful and I updated the translation to reflect them. I'll edit the translation on the wiki a bit later with the changes. Much appreciated (/・ω・)/

Re: Sentimental_Journey
I've checked the transcribed lyrics. There were some kanij missing (which I've added now), but other than that I found no mistakes. I've also added a DISPLAYTITLE template so the title should show up correctly now. Have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 09:58, March 28, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm glad I could help. You need admin status to delete something, yes. I've deleted the wrongly named category Amandelen (talk) 18:15, March 29, 2018 (UTC)

Tautology
Hey, I translated Tautology Doubtful with a friend, but the kanji usage is so irregular and the meaning of the lyrics is kind of lost on me, so it'd be appreciated if you could take some time out of your day and review it, maybe? https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT6qdgMub2U27S9RVIQd3uEi6nzzhFl_6ecoR-DL51DX7R04TAPzR9HLaYPS1Of1wruV7bi6Hf6srB8/pub edit: This is, like, two months late, wow. I'm so sorry. Real life just hit me like a truck -.-;;;; Your edits are helpful and really appreciated. Thank you so much!

Re: Search problems
Hello,

"Yumemiru Dreamer" wasn't a redirect yet, so that should be fixed now at least. I'm not sure why it isn't the first result when you search for "夢見るドリーマー" though orz (although I have made a redirect now for that too). It does seem to show up as the first result after you hit enter (at least it did for me), so it might just be an issue with the drop down menu. On other wikias which also use a lot of Japanese/Chinese/etc. in their titles, the search bar seems to function normally, so it's probably a good idea to at least ask about it. Amandelen (talk) 12:08, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: Never mind that last part. I tested the search bars on other wikias a bit more and they have the exact same problem. I think it's due to the fact that we have so much pages which start with similar characters which causes it. We could still ask about it, but if it's a problem on multiple wikias they're probably already looking into it. Amandelen (talk) 12:27, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

Reply
Yes, it's not working (idk if it's one of YT's weird updates or my browser but it just shows a black vid and an exclamation point and it doesn't say whether it's deleted or if it's just something like 'not available in your country' type of thing)~Raine

This helped me a lot!! Thank you so much! Cainhargreaves (talk) 14:06, May 15, 2018 (UTC)

Translation Help
Hey ElectricRaichu, thanks for replying to my forum post. I've been workshopping some translations and was wondering if you wouldn't mid giving them a look over. They're all posted beneath the Blog section. I left a similar message on the forum, and if you have already read it, I'm sorry for the spam :/ I need to learn to be more patient.

Vaffisuco (talk) 00:23, May 10, 2018 (UTC)Vaffisuco


 * Yeah I replied on your talk page. I'm a bit crook today so when I'm over it I'll be happy to help. Could you format the translation so that it's indented to make it easier to read, like this?


 * 日本語 日本語 日本語
 * English English English
 * 日本語 日本語 日本語
 * English English English
 * ElectricRaichu (talk) 00:31, May 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh, of course! Sorry about that!
 * Vaffisuco (talk) 20:41, May 10, 2018 (UTC)Vaffisuco

Don't feel bad about it! When you're sick you're sick, and that's final lol. I've posted all of my tentative translations onto my blog, so feel free to look through those whenever you're in the mood.

The biggest headscratcher so far is the opening line to Lady Face by TaKa


 * 微熱混じり 扉開いてみせて？


 * Feverishly entangled, should I open that door?

The form used here is ~てみせる which is a sentence structure that usually has a 'I'll show you!' type of mentality. Against all of the odds, or disregarding the inplausability of success, one will do their best and prove them wrong. I've never seen this structure in a sentence before, and am curious as to what that could mean, or if it drastically changes the tone/meaning of the grammar pattern itself.

Any inputs would be greately appreciated!

Re: Tsuki no Shizuku
Hello,

It's really hard to make out. It sounds like "つ" or "す" to me, but I'm not entirely sure which one it is (and I can't find a pronounciation with う in it for this kanji either...). Sorry I can't really help... It might be a good idea to ask Damesukekun or the producer.

Have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 14:35, May 25, 2018 (UTC)

Candy and Chains Translation Help
Hi, thanks for looking over Lady Face by TaKa earlier. It helped out a lot!

This line in particular trips me up: 胸を締める鎖が愛しくて which I translated as 'the chains squeezing around my heart are pitiful' but 愛しい can either mean 'beloved/precious' or 'pitiful' and I am not quite sure which context this word is using. Full tentative translation can be found on my blog.

Thank you so much!

Re: Is it a perfect world?
Hello,

I agree with you. I did change "reprint" to "authorized reprint" (since that's basically what it is) so other editors also know the reprint shouldn't be removed.

Also, this is kind of out of the blue, but have you considered doing a request for adminship? You help around a lot so I thought I'd be a good idea to give you the status of Admin. Just a thought though, please don't feel pressured to do it if you don't want to.

Have a nice day =).

Amandelen (talk) 15:47, June 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh wow! One thing, I'm a bit worried that I'm not very Wikia savvy, like I wouldn't be able to help much with technical things to do with Wikia. Of course I could learn, but I'd rather focus my attention on translating which is something I can do that not many others can. Would that be a problem if I became an admin? ElectricRaichu (talk) 00:58, June 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's much of a problem. Being an admin isn't about being good with coding and such. It's of course handy if you know much about it, but it's not a requirement. Also, if someone does come to you with technical things, you could always redirect them to me. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them. Amandelen (talk) 13:53, June 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * So what's the process? Do you just wave a wand, or do I have to do something, or do the other users need to agree? ElectricRaichu (talk) 21:46, June 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you remember CCyclone's request for adminship? It'll go like that. Basically you file a request for adminship here and make a short thread about it (like this one). I've made a guide before, so I'll just copy-paste it here:


 * Here's a quick guide on how to start a RfA. If you want to try to become an admin, it is essential that you do an RfA.


 * The general layout of an RfA is this:

===({USERNAME})=== {MESSAGE FROM NOMINEE HERE}

Opposing

 * As a nominee, you only have to fill in the parts between brackets (these ones: {}). The other parts of the form will be filled out by other users as per the rules which are stated above. When you are done, you can post this part under Request for Adminship. Please be careful to use source mode if you directly copy-paste it, otherwise it won't show up correctly. Also, don't overwrite someone else's RfA/RfB. If someone else is doing an RfA already, please post yours under it.


 * To notify other users that you are doing an RfA, please make a forum post such as this to promote it. I'll highlight it to make sure that other users will get a notification. It would be nice if you could shoot me a quick message with a link to your forum post so I don't miss it accidentally, but it is not required. Also keep in mind that I live in western Europe, so I may be in a different timezone than you which could cause a delay. Lastly, I will only highlight the first thread for your RfA which you make. If you make more I won't highlight them. This is to prevent having multiple highlighted threads for one person when only one is necessary.


 * I get that it's a bit of work and might be kind of scary, so if you don't want to do it please don't feel pressured. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!


 * Have a nice day =).


 * Amandelen (talk) 10:16, June 28, 2018 (UTC)

no problem, it was just minor stuff. please undo and lemme know if i accidentally 'correct' anything that's fine as it is b/c sometimes i edit briitish english since i'm used to the americanized spelling of some words lol ~Raine

Ah sorry, I think my computer might've displayed the description on nico as auto translated XP~Raine

Re: MEIKO by ShoshoP
No problem. I'll combine them. Since the lyrics are written a bit differently I'll still add a tabber, though. I hope you get well soon! Amandelen (talk) 08:17, August 17, 2018 (UTC)

Re: ryohs_k (producer)
I've looked around for a bit, and it seems that the DISPLAYTITLE template has some restrictions, one of which is that it can only change the title of pages. Because of this it can't change the title of a category. I unfortunately haven't been able to find a way to change the title of a category in another way. If I do come across one, I'll put it in the song article guideline. Sorry I couldn't be of much help this time.

I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 08:30, August 20, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Romaji redirects OK?
Hello,

It's okay to add any redirect as long as there's some logic behind it. It's better to have a lot of redirects so pages are easier to find. In other words: feel free to make any redirect you want.

I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 20:04, October 4, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Deleted videos
Hello,

I've added something. Thank you for noticing it was missing in the guidelines! To answer your questions, the dead link should be marked as removed/deleted.

I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 08:07, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Dear Raichu,

Thank you for fixing up a few mistakes in the Japanese translation of 終わらない空 (Owaranai Sora). The translator's names will be placed on the bottom of the note, as well as a link processed for it.

However, I have to ask, what links are acceptable? Due to this translation done on a chat with the official song maker, I will have to process it into another website. Hopefully, I can find out shortly.

With due respects,

Re: aeterna
I do hear her harmonizing with len, but it's a bit harder to tell for sure b/c my speakers are like, over 10 years old and i don't own earphoner

Doesn't piapro have a messaging system? So maybe you could contact the composer directly for confirmation? (also YT is down worldwide as far as i know, piapro does work for me though somtimes the mp3 is kinda slow loading)

Re: Aeterna
Hey,

I've (tried to) colour the lyrics for Aeterna like you asked. I'm not entirely sure since some parts are hard to figure out, but this is what I make of it.

I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 16:16, October 18, 2018 (UTC)

夢幻ドロップ
Hello,

Could you maybe modify this translation a bit to make it sound better in English? I've asked Damesukekun if he thought that the translation was good, and he said it was, just that the wording was a bit strange. Feel free to take as long as you want. You don't have to do it, so feel free to not do it.

I hope you have a nice day =).

Translation review
Hi,

A while ago I've added an official English translation for my song [//vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E6%9C%80%E5%BE%8C%E3%81%AE%E5%94%84_(Saigo_no_Uta) https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E6%9C%80%E5%BE%8C%E3%81%AE%E5%94%84_(Saigo_no_Uta)]

Could you please review it? English is not my native language, so I guess there are some mistakes..,

Thank you in advance!

Re: Ichinose Rupo songs list
That's probably a good idea. I've changed every Rupo to Lupo now (there weren't a lot so I was done rather quickly). Feel free to change any if you find more. I hope you have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 08:43, December 28, 2018 (UTC)

Sure, though I assume you'd be better at romaji than I would be so i'm not sure what part you want me to check over (since my JP pages still needs to be checked over by amandelen, other than not using accents [like writing 'mou' instead of 'mō' i try not to mess with romaji in pages too much :"D])

Aha, well I haven't really noticed anything wrong with the page. I mean if you posted a translation for it at some point, I could do a quick spellcheck/grammar over it :'D
