This article is a stub. You can help Wikifang by expanding it.

When translating, these guidelines should be kept in mind.

If you're involved in the translation, please fill in as much as possible about this!


Terms

Japanese Context English
シンカ Evolution/evolve
かいぞう Fusion evolution
くっつく, つける Giving items for a fusion evolution Fuse[1]
Dメロ A custom D-Shot ringtone Melo-D
しぜんデンジュウ Natural Denjuu
キカイ machine
ちょうろう Musa, the village elder elder
アンテナのき Antenna Tree (both words capitalized)

Capitalization and punctuation

  • Fusion is always capitalized. But the verb "fuse" doesn't have to be.
  • Use just as many exclamation marks and question marks as the original. (So ?? if the source contains ??, et cetera)
  • Denjuu World and Human World both have capitalization on both of the words.

Names

See Text Dump/Short lists.

Gender

It's usually not obvious from the text whether a Denjuu is a male or a female, but when they do, it tends to be "he/him". After discussion with Kimbles: let's stick to he/him for now unless people start complaining or something

Notes

  1. These words mean "attach" or "install" since "fusion" was originally "remodeling", but with the change to "fusion" it's better to use "fuse". They clearly fuse in the animations anyway.
