Del Rey's Volume 4.... =(

I can't believe the actual legal licensed scanlating group (which is Del Rey btw) actually jumped ahead of us. I don't mean to bash at the translators or anything, but we're moving REALLY slow because if the LEGAL people can catch up and pull ahead of the ILLEGAL people then this is just wrong ><

oh my, this is bad
we need to do something

Eek! This is bad. But I thought the manga comes out every 3 months... So the next one is around August...Bad....

that's the date of my birthday!!!!!!!!!
that's too long

Yeah, but that gives us more time to *hopefully* catch up and go ahead! WHERE ARE THE TRANSLATORS!?!?!?!?!?!

Which means we have to do seven chapters by August...(17-23)

you're right
seriously where are the translators
i think there in vacation

There's only one valid translator - Hikari. But I don't know how efficient she is, so I don't know when we'll have the translations. AP is almost done with 19, and they assigned us chapter 20 translations.

well at least there is somebody whoès doing it

It's great that she has a life and all... but we do need people who are somewhat active and does things. Hopefully she can get it done within two or three weeks... >< We can't drag out releasing Shugo Chara anymore with Del-Rey at our heels!

I'm thinking that many people on the team will have a lot of time over the summer.

If AP is alsmost done with translating 19, whose editing 17 and 18?

No idea buti would like to do it....

I thought I was doing 17. Granted, I've been really slow due to various reasons. Though now, the only one I have is that I was told I'm only suppose to do part of 17, and I don't remember which part...

I guess someone already translated chapter 17 though. If you go onto manga fox, it has Shugo Chara 1-17. Not sure who did it though. X_x;

Ah wait, you guys are talking about editing it? Or is it basically the same thing? Dunno~...

By editing, we mean going through and removing the Japanese, putting in the English, and making the page look prettier/decent/not going to wish you could stab out your eyes by looking at it. Well, try to anyways.

well....that might be fine^^

The one that did 17 didn't have the full translation and used coco_vanilla's summaries, it doesn't look as good as AP's and SP's.

really? that's why there is some dialogue where it isn't translated it

Umm... go check the log to see who's editing >< Namklim's doing 17, I'm doing 18.... which are all out already but it'd seem... weird to me if we didn't have our own. Well, Verity from AP is grounded so she can't translate 19 but I think Kiseki from AP is translating it. Hikari's done translating 20 but her English isn't quite that perfect and she doesn't know the names of the people SO I'm having a deep hassle right now trying to figure things out. Never thought proofreading would be so hard....

*goes and buries herself in Shugo Chara chapter 20 RAW with Hikari's translations... trying to proofread...*
