Wiki updates breaking unicode
Aquagon, it looks like you updated the character encoding used in the article, but whatever you changed, many of the symbols are now broken in Firefox under OS X and standard Ubuntu/Debian installations.

That aside, did you make any corrections that I'll need to match in the Hymmnoserver database? I didn't notice anything with a casual glance, but a *lot* of content was updated. Red HamsterX 05:28, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I just corrected many of the broken symbols (which I don't even know what was the cause, but I guess it had to do with the MediaWiki upgrading that was performed a while back). And aside from some typoes on the meanings, pronunciations, and a couple of missing/incorrect dialect categorizations, the Hymmnoserver database looks okay. I can sent you a PM in the forums for the corrections that need to be made. Aquagon 07 05:04, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think Wikia uses MediaWiki, but you're probably right about it being a backend update. MySQL >= 5.0 breaks some Latin-1-based MySQL < 4.1 UTF-8 hackery.

I'll go over the PM when I get home from work tomorrow, and I'll run the database through a spell-checker to see what I messed up on. I'll also let you know the reasons behind a few of the changes I made to the At3 words (syntax classification, mostly; emphasis on prepositions)

Feel free to open issues at http://code.google.com/p/hymmnoserver/issues/list for things like way-off translation issues, though; I don't mind having my mistakes publicly disclosed. I can also add you as a committer, if you have a Google Account and want to make some changes yourself. Red HamsterX 05:28, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

"pausee" and "pauwee"
Been trying to translate EXEC_CHRONICLE=KEY/. and I was confused in this line:

"Was au ga, Diasee, Pausee,"

When I try to look up "pausee" it says that this word didn't exist, and instead, "pauwee" is the closest word to "pausee" that exist.

Is this a mistypo, or actually different words but have the same meaning?

I don't know where you got these lyrics, but they are wrong. The final word in it it's supposed to be "Pauwee". Aquagon 07 22:12, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

chess versus chiess
Do you still remember the source of "chess", aquagon?

I'm playing catch-up with the Japanese site (you seem to have beaten me to the technical stuff by a couple of weeks, though, so I'll be building on your work and writing about any points of confusion or corrections here), and as part of my audit, I noticed that the two words are virtually identical. Is it possible that "chess" is just a typo of the official "chiess"?

RedHamsterX, correct? Well, I remember that word appeared in the lyrics to Kokorogatari, but given it's similarity to "chiess" in pronunciation, writing and meaning, I'm inclined to believe that "chess" is just a typo (especially considering how Akira Tsuchiya revealed today in the Ar Portal that "suwant" was only a typo of "swant", and was erroneously registered in the HymmnoServer).

Oh, and by the way, actually I didn't make the translation for the Ar Ciela section, so the credit for that work belongs to Lazy... Aquagon 07 04:07, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
