	Hello again Blue-castle, I was wondering if you can provide me an exact translation for "Fleurs des Mille Printemps".

	::::Oh these are interesting although it makes me concerned about how loose they are with translating the names. I found a random Chinese tourism site which translated 花萼樓 as "Calyx Building" which sounds ''so'' weird LOL. I guess that's why they simplified it from calyx to flower but now it sounds so unoriginal because it's already a "flower festival". 花萼 really means {{wiki\|sepal}} while I would say 樓 is kind of like a building that has two or more floors and is also spacious and/or has many rooms. In this case, ''pavilion'' is probably the best translation, but what can make it confusing is that the gazebo where Li E kills those men is also being translated as a ''pavilion'' because in English and I guess French as well a gazebo is a type of small pavilion? The Chinese name for that gazebo literally means "Submerged in Fragrance Gazebo", but I guess that's too wordy. As for the palace, its name literally means "Prosperous Celebratory Palace", nothing to do with dragons or kings. It seems like they just made-up an entirely different name for that, which I think is a cause for concern. Usually historians still try to give an accurate translation of the names of these buildings even if they sound a little awkward outside of Chinese.		::::Oh these are interesting although it makes me concerned about how loose they are with translating the names.

	Hello Blue-Castle, I was wondering if you happen to be following ''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]''. There are some Chinese names and terms in that comic which as of now, I cannot know what they would be officially translated into in English.

I am assuming they will translate ''yichunkan'', and that the name of the competition is not as generic as just "flower festival".

	Hello again Blue-castle, I was wondering if you can provide me an exact translation for "Fleurs des Mille Printemps". It has been years since I have studied French and though I think this would easily be "Flowers of the Thousand Springs", I just wanted to make sure there isn't any mistake.

	::::Oh these are interesting although it makes me concerned about how loose they are with translating the names. I found a random Chinese tourism site which translated 花萼樓 as "Calyx Building" which sounds ''so'' weird LOL. I guess that's why they simplified it from calyx to flower but now it sounds so unoriginal because it's already a "flower festival". 花萼 really means {{wiki\|sepal}} while I would say 樓 is kind of like a building that has two or more floors and is also spacious and/or has many rooms. In this case, ''pavilion'' is probably the best translation, but what can make it confusing is that the gazebo where Li E kills those men is also being translated as a ''pavilion'' because in English and I guess French as well a gazebo is a type of small pavilion? The Chinese name for that gazebo literally means "Submerged in Fragrance Gazebo", but I guess that's too wordy. As for the palace, its name literally means "Prosperous Celebratory Palace", nothing to do with dragons or kings. It seems like they just made-up an entirely different name for that, which I think is a cause for concern. Usually historians still try to give an accurate translation of the names of these buildings even if they sound a little awkward outside of Chinese.		::::Oh these are interesting although it makes me concerned about how loose they are with translating the names.

	::::When the French edition of volume 2 is released, the most important thing to keep an eye out for is the name of [[Alianna]]. "Alianna" is the Mandarization of this character's name, which would most likely be Alina. In French and English, it will be more faithful to the real Arabic or Persian name due to the phonetic nature of their writing system. I cannot wait to correct it as soon as possible, especially since I don't want people to internalize "Alianna" as her name. They'll most likely misread it as four syllables "ah-lee-an-na", and therefore know her name wrong.
