GLO v17 bonus pages script

[Guren]

Thanks to Sergio for the raws.
Since the text was spread here and there and confusing, I've put red numbers near each group of sentences in the raws.
I suggest to whom will have to edit the pages to download them from here:

The numbers were put in a way so they can easily be deleted.

Pages 197-198

1. Diagram.
2. Everything about the Stealth Army.
3. The “Stealth Army” is composed of soldiers from the "NEW ORDER", established by Mbadi in ES 474. NEW ORDER is LADDER's exclusive army and can be authorized to operate beyond national borders under LADDER treaty jurisdiction. It’s the very first Solar System military unit to use optical stealth technology as standard-issue military gear. The most cutting-edge technology is used in this equipment.
4. STEALTH ARMY SUIT. The surface, composed of an elastic smart polymer, combined with a power support function, displays high movement efficiency.
5. STEALTH MODES. It has optical, electromagnetic, infrared, and acoustic stealth modes. Since it’s airtight, it can operate in space. It also has anti-radiation, anti-gas, and anti-germ functions as well.
6. For long periods of activity in space, it equips options like a backpack and so on.
7. SUBMACHINE GUN. Inside an air-tight structure, a submachine gun is employed since it exchanges firepower for comfort and safety.
8. The Stealth Army rappelling down the orbital elevator.
9. ASSAULT RIFLE. It has armor-piercing efficiency and can fare better against skilled cyborgs.
10. SPECIAL MILITARY GEAR 1. HIGH ORDER company commander Tzykrow's suit, unit under Mbadi's direct control. The mask design differs greatly.
11. THE THRUSTERS USED IN SPACE ACTIVITY
12. SPECIAL MILITARY GEAR 2. Unit 405, a special anti-terrorism unit. Powerful even for NEW ORDER standards, it has been seen operating efficiently during the mission to recover Olympus space port.
13. ADJUSTABLE SIZE. The wearer can personalize it in case he's wearing a Stealth Suit for the first time. The suit automatically changes form and volume fitting the wearer's height and constitution. After this, it is preserved until initialized.
14. INNER SUIT. The wearer has on a thin inner suit, similar to tights. This one has a group of sensors monitoring the wearer condition and transmitting the data to the shell suit.
15. Even with a short body build like Alita, it is wearable without problems.
16. ACTIVITIES. It boasts brilliant war records: it was struck by Caerula, decapitated by Zekka's motorbike, kicked by Alita, and so on.
17. Stealth Army being eaten by a Venusian Octo-Taxi.

- Octaxi. Takoshii in the original text. It's a pun on Tako (octopus) and Taxi so I combined the two words too.
Perhaps, has it got an official translation?

[^Ripper]

Ah man....
Now i have to get off my lazy ass and do a volume release...

Nah, great work Guren!
Thanks for the assistance in translating.

[Guren]

You're welcome.
Waiting for proofreading.

[Sergio Nova]

- Octaxi. Takoshii in the original text. It's a pun on Tako (octopus) and Taxi so I combined the two words too.
Perhaps, has it got an official translation?

In Last Order, volume 13, Sans Angel, page 37, that "vehicle" was translated as takoshi, combining tako and takkushi.

[Guren]

Then it was not translated at all.
lol

Tell me if you want it as takoshi and I will change it.

[Sergio Nova]

Then it was not translated at all.
lol

Tell me if you want it as takoshi and I will change it.

I believe we should maintain a standard, so I vote for takoshi.

[Guren]

Ok, updated.

[Burning Angel]

I believe we should maintain a standard, so I vote for takoshi.

I vote for Octo-Taxi... since that is the official Viz translation. BTW, I'll have the corrections tomorrow.

5. STEALTH FUNCTION. It has optic, electromagnetic, infra-red rays, noise stealth function. Being airtight, it can act in space. It owns anti-radiation, anti-gas, anti-germs functions as well. (plural noun; missing comma)
12. SPECIAL MILITARY GEAR 2. Unit 405, a special anti-terrorism unit. Powerful even among NEWORDER, it has been seen easily succeeding in the operation to recover Olympus spaceport. (past participle; structure)
13. VARIABLE SIZE. The wearer personalize it in case he's wearing a Stealth Suit for the first time. The suit automatically changes form and volume fitting the wearer's height and constitution. After this, it is preserved until initialized. (spelling)
14. INNER SUIT. The wearer has on a thin inner suit like tights. [Either it is my limited English or this text makes no sense.]

kaclack [what is that?]

[Sergio Nova]

The problem is that we will always have differences with Viz once our version is released before. At the same time, Viz insists in calling Olympe an android, although it goes against the good sense in any language I know. Andro is the Greek prefix for male human, while gyno is the Greek prefix for female human. The problem started when the coiner confounded anthropo (man, the species) and andro (man, the gender). It seems he should have said anthropoid, referring to a humanlike robot, instead of android, a malelike robot).

I agree we should preserve Viz nomenclature when referring to characters, or we will generate confusion (supposing the readers do buy Viz's version in the end). The alternative would be to forget Viz's eccentricities (just to be polite) and preserve the original nomenclature.

Like it or not, android is still the generic term in English for human-like robot (male or female). In fact, the only time I ever heard the term Gynoid was in a GITS:SAC episode...

In Japanese, it's Takoshi... In the Viz edition, it's Octo-Taxi... In the Spanish version, it's Pulpaxi... probably in every version, they translate it to their own language... the absurd thing to do (if we are translating it to English) is to just leave it in Japanese, since most English speakers don't speak Japanese...

If anything, we should either translate Octo-Taxi into English, since English seems to be LADDER's official language, or French, since the Republic of Venus is francophonic... I don't think Japanese is used much in Kishiro's universe...

[Sergio Nova]

I agree, but as you are aware, generic does not mean correct. I know I am stubborn, but I cannot see why to insist with wrong terms.
[Probably, Masamune Shirow used ガイノイド (gainoido).]

Takoshi does remember taxi, but I could live with octo-taxi or anything. My point is that I dislike changing already established vocabulary. Anyway, let's wait for Guren's decision.

[By the way: gynoid is better explained in the glossary, under gynoid (http://wiki.rippersanime.info/tiki-inde ... age=Gynoid) or Olympe (http://wiki.rippersanime.info/tiki-inde ... age=Olympe).]

[Burning Angel]

I agree, but as you are aware, generic does not mean correct. I know I am stubborn, but I cannot see why to insist with wrong terms.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/android

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(robot)

Android is not incorrect. Android = Robot with human form. That's it. It does not differentiate between male or female.

But honestly I don't care about that. I was talking about the Octo-Taxi.

If anything, we should either translate Octo-Taxi into English, since English seems to be LADDER's official language, or French, since the Republic of Venus is francophonic... I don't think Japanese is used much in Kishiro's universe...

I think from a plot-wise perspective... either a English or French translation would be correct...

[Sergio Nova]

Android is not incorrect. Android = Robot with human form. That's it. It does not differentiate between male or female.

When I say incorrect I mean that andro means male human, simply. Anyway, the Wikipedia page you gave does differentiate android and gynoid.

[Burning Angel]

Yes, in the same way that "Man" can mean:

1. An adult male human.
2. A human regardless of sex or age; a person.

Definition for Android:

1. A robot that resembles a man.
2. A robot that resembles a human. A Humanoid.

Again, this discussion doesn't matter that much.

[Sergio Nova]

Yes, in the same way that "Man" can mean:

1. An adult male human.
2. A human regardless of sex or age; a person.

Indeed, but I insist: andro refers exclusively to the male human.

Again, this discussion doesn't matter that much.

Actually, it has become an academic discussion, and that point makes it interesting,even because I do not have such debates every day.

[Guren]

Updated.

- Takoshi. It's Takoshi in the italian edition too
- kaklack. Well...I'm not any good with sfx translations so that should be the sound made
when the commander slides a part of the submachine gun forward and backwards
to ready it to fire. Or...it could be the sound of the magazine fitting in its slot.
The problem is that the scene is not very clear and the sfx is put up there.
What do we use then?

[Burning Angel]

Fair enough.

Indeed, but I insist: andro refers exclusively to the male human.

I admit that gynoid is probably the more exact term, but android isn't incorrect either. It officially means "automaton that resembles a human".

[Burning Angel]

-

Takoshi. It's Takoshi in the italian edition too

From a practical standpoint, "Octo-Taxi" is a term everyone will understand.

From an official standpoint, Viz uses the term "Octo-Taxi".

From a story standpoint, neither LADDER nor the Republic of Venus would call it "Takoshi", since they use English and French, respectively.

All right! It is explained. Keep it, simply.

[Sergio Nova]

I promise this is my last text about this topic. I have no intention of making a war. Far from that. I simply am fond of changing ideas with intelligent people.

1. The doctor who treats impotence, premature ejaculation and other problems exclusive of males is the andrologist.
2. The doctor who treats PMS, dysmenorrhea and other problems exclusive of females is the gynecologist.
3. The scientist who studies human populations is the anthropologist.

As far as I know, such a differentiation exists in all European languages.

[Burning Angel]

Sorry for the chaos in the first paragraph... I essentially changed the structure in all the sentences...

Thanks Burning, updated.
About this: 6. For long periods of activity in space, it equips options like thrusters and so on.
I left "backpack" since it's what it's written in the original instead of "thrusters" written in the lower description.

[Burning Angel]

Here is a quick change...
