IMO. It would be boring if everyone uses Herms translations, if would be fun if someone uses english dubs or animes
But Herms translations are the most accurate we've got. If we're going to ignore them for the sole purpose of it being boring then why don't we just take quotes from Naruto and use them in our debates instead, because it would be boring if everyone used DBZ.
I use Herms translations too , i never meant its BORING to use Herms since its the most useful translation. I meant its fun to debate against someone who uses english dub , anime translations as a fact to back their statements up.

I'd much rather debate with someone who actually knows their stuff and uses proper translations. Because if someone uses things like the dub, then they're just plain wrong and there's nothing to debate about. Besides having Herm's translations would only allow for the basic terms that don't need to be explain.

For example, Herm's right now isn't helping us too much with the whole Gohan's potential thing right now, it gives us some back up but its doesn't outright explain everything.

Another example.

Herm's Translation: Explains the aspect of Super Buu>Kid Buu, something a few people unfortunately do not get.

What it does not explain is the aspect of Fat Buu, evil Buu and Super Buu's power and how they differentiate when considering who's in control and the possibility of what would happen in differenct cases.

There's Japanese anime to use, so long as you ignore all filler and the Kid Boo shenanigans.

Yes, I will do this and prove once and for all that Kakashi soloes everything :innocent:

But, getting back on track, I wouldn't be against it but someone would need to get in contact with Herms to see if he'd be alright with it. I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem, but I think it would be better if we got permission from him. Although, I'm not on Kazenshuu so someone else would have to ask him.

We can still have a link to the site, it's not like we need to post the entire thing on a sticky. We just need a place where people can go, even if it is a link to see these translations, especially for those who have no idea what they are in the first place.

In short you can have a sticky with a link to Kazenshuu where the translations are while giving proper credit to Herms.

What about Google Chrome and Safari?
On the iPod/iPhone Safari, all you need to do to bookmark a site is this.

1) Go to the site you wish to bookmark.
2) On the bottom bar, there are five buttons. Click the rectangle with the arrow coming out of it.
3) Three options will pop up. Click 'Add bookmark'.

It's that simple.

Are these legal translations he is doing?

If they are not then unfortunately it would be violating ZB TOS to post them? :\

I don't think they're illegal. All he's doing is looking at the text from the page and translating it from Japanese to English (and it's not just him, it's a joint effort from a dozen or so users on Kanzenshuu). He's not posting scans or anything.

If it is illegal, I'm fine with just bookmarking the page. Anyway in my opinion using the bookmark may be faster.

Personally, I don't see it as any different than one of us jotting down all the quotes concerning a specific character from a book like Harry Potter.
