Ahh, well the publisher for that language hires their own translators, EUOL and TOR don't have anything to do with that.  Though, I guess you could contact Hayakawa and see if they're hiring.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Oh I didn't know that. I had just seen the line in Brandons first post about people wanting to help translate.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.  The site itself was in Japanese, and so I couldn't read anything about the book!

When we sell rights to a book, we sell translation rights. Essentially,  a publisher buys the opportunity to publish the book in a particular language.  So, I don't have anything to do with it beyond saying "yes" and signing a contract.

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

It's positive at least.  Ookla's right on the content, mostly just a story summery, comments on Scott Card's recommendation and they saying you should read it and the reviewer is looking forward for mistborn.

Just got my copies, much thanks to my Brother, and I'm liking the interior art a lot.  EUOL, you should see if we can get permission to use them on your website.

The intro Picture of Harathen and the Picture of Sarene at the party are very nice, the art style is pretty much a mix of James Christensen and Yositaka Amano.

I haz picturez!


cover for first book. (This was already posted but meh.)


The map of Arelon


the section 1 image holder
The decrepit Elantris.


Sarene
サレーネ
(saw)(rey)(neh) - Japanese pronunciation-


Hrathen
ホラゼン
Dilaf
デイラフ
(hoe)(raw)(zen) - Japanese pronunciation-
(day)(raw)(f) -Japanese pronunciation-


Raoden
ラオデン
Galadon
ガラドン
(Raw)(oh)(den) -Japanese pronunciation-
(gaw)(raw)(doe)(n) -Japanese pronunciation-


I don't remember who did this off the top of my head.
:/  A healing spell done the less


cover for book two


Shaori(sp?)
シャオル

Section 2 image holder.
I am assuming this is supposed to illustrate the transformation magic they use to disguise themselves.


The riot Dilaf starts.


Section 3 image holder
Picture of the new Elantris


Raoden
Sarene


A funeral

That is all.

:]]  I think later tonight if I find time I'll post the English Prologue and the Japanese Prologue (translated) for comparisons.

Also note (Earlier in this topic are some of my first posts ever on TWG  . >>  I was a loser once. ha ha.)

Thanks! Um, could you also type those words in katakana so I can tell what your transliterations are supposed to say? :)

Are you saying this has changed?  (Kidding - TOTALLY kidding!  It was just too good of an opening to pass up.)
