Japanese translations

I would strongly recommend http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?1C as a solid dictionary, and http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/ for getting examples of grammar patterns. I also like to use google search on a specific grammar pattern if I don't recognize it, to see if professional translators have translated it before.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 15:34, 17 August 2016 (CDT)

Well, I use http://jisho.org/ as my dictionary, but I will take a look at yours. I will also take a look at your other japanese dictionary, and see if I can find it helpful as well. Google is always good, but I tend to check my textbooks and Uni resources first actually, since not every kind of sentence has been translated before, and even then, translations differ depending on the context. So in some cases just finding what the problematic grammar point in particular is and learning how to use it, helps me usually. Though, thank you for taking your time and sharing your resources with me! --J3rry1ce 00:46, 18 August 2016 (CEST)

Sorry for butting into a conversation! For vocab, I use jisho and wwwjdic sometimes myself, but I personally find http://www.weblio.jp/ helpful as well; the meanings (taken from different dictionaries) are in Japanese, but especially for harder phrases, I like to check the Japanese meaning myself just to make sure that I'm not misusing the English translation from the dictionaries, especially if those English translations were meant for a different context. Some profs have mentioned http://eow.alc.co.jp before, which might be useful if you're looking for different ways a phrase might be translated depending on sentence/context, but I like to actually find the meaning of the word/phrase first. But either way hello fellow Japanese learner :) --Garmmon (talk) 08:42, 18 August 2016 (CDT)

It's fine, haha. Thank you for input actually, it's always great to have more sources. I'd actually like to ask how to implement translations? Just translating something and slapping it in into the Digimons page seems kind of.. rude? I suppose, so I am not sure what to do. I could post them into the Digimons talk page for others too see and give their input on, but I am not sure. I mean I am confident in my translating skills, but since I am a newcomer basically I am not sure where to start in general ;A; --J3rry1ce 19:34, 20 August 2016 (CEST)

Oh, I personally don't think it's rude since well, the point of a wiki is that anyone can edit it...when it comes to dictionary profiles though, Kryten usually does them so you might want to ask him about that instead. I do/edit some occasionally but I mostly deal with the cards atm. There might also be a 'standard format/style' for writing certain parts like attack descriptions, and inserting templates/links into the profiles that I'm not too familiar with? Kryten and Ainz should be more familiar on that :> --Garmmon (talk) 12:57, 20 August 2016 (CDT)

So this is 4 years later now, but I hope that I can be more helpful with translations from Japanese now that I actually have a degree. Yoroshiku! --J3rry1ce 20:24, 16 Janurary 2020 (CEST)
