Volume 6: Nocturne of Sorrow II - Chapter 16: Interlude of the Heart --Preventor 5-- Part.01 - MARCH

Frozen Teardrop Volume & Chapter List + 'Translation' Disclaimer

This is a section of Chapter 16 that is, for whatever reason, missing from Deacon/Zeonic's translation of the chapter. I never would have realized it was absent if inchoate-oeuvre hadn't mentioned it existed in her summary of the same chapter, and I've borrowed her translation/phrasing for a couple of sentences. You can tell which ones they are because they're not Google Translate gibberish. :P

I encourage you to read the relevant part of inchoate-oeuvre's summary before this 'translation'. It really does help.

Aldnoah.Zero EXTRA EPISODE 05

[tranendal]

EXTRA EPISODE 05 is an Aldnoah.Zero sidestory: a short, single-installment prose story included with the eight Japanese Bluray volume. There is no official English version available, and as far as I'm aware, no proper English fan translation either. So I took it upon myself to run the whole thing through Google Translate.

Let me repeat that before anybody starts complaining about how much my "translations" suck: I KNOW THEY DO. THEY ARE LITERALLY JUST GOOGLE TRANSLATIONS.

Still. Google Translate is better than NOTHING.

I addition, this is a Google Translation of this Japanese-to-Korean translation made by a fan. I used that as my source rather than the Japanese raws because the Korean version could be copy-pasted directly from browser and I only have .jpg scans of the Japanese version. Using the Korean translation saved me like five steps of OCR per page to be translated. But yes, it does mean that it's a layer of crappy machine translation layered on top of an unofficial amateur translation. Please keep that in mind when if you read and/or use this for anything.

Maaaaybe one day I'll go back and feed the original Japanese through Google Translate too, but don't stay up for it. I didn't have the patience to fix all the mangled versions of canon terminology and character names that Google Translate spit out, but they should be reasonably easy to suss out in context. (THIS, I might actually go back and fix some time soon though.) The most common victims are Aldnoah activation (mostly rendered here as "maneuver"), Cataphract, Ruelle Envers (Lemrina's mom), Minamo Kaizuka (Inaho's dad), Reyregalia and Gilzeria (the first and second emperors of Vers), Troyard, and Saazbaum. Hope that helps in the meantime. XP

If you have, know of, or are willing to contribute any better English translations of this story, please share!

Aldnoah.Zero EXTRA EPISODE 04

[tranendal]

EXTRA EPISODE 04 is an Aldnoah.Zero sidestory: a single-installment manga chapter included with one of the Japanese Bluray volumes. An official English translation is available, with the English-language Aldnoah.Zero Complete Season 2 Collectors Edition Blu-ray. However, buying that would set me back roughly €70 (not including shipping) for discs I can't play, of content I already own on plain old DVD. So I found scans of the manga and ran the speach bubbles through OCR + Google Translate instead. I cleaned up Google's stilted, borderline-gibberish results as much as I dared, and what came out is as below.

Let me repeat that before anybody starts complaining about how much my "translations" suck: I KNOW THEY DO. THEY ARE LITERALLY JUST GOOGLE TRANSLATIONS.

Please keep that in mind and take everything here with a generous helping of salt. There IS an official English translation available: use that if you want to be certain of anything in this story.
