	Hello Kaikai,<br>Thanks for cleaning up the minor errors and link changes in the podcast page so far! I clearly missed those. However, since you've made a dozen minor edits all within the space of 1 hour, might I suggest just proofreading it and doing one larger edit instead of continually tweaking and saving then tweaking again? Just would make it more efficient for you and would also not fill the Recent Activity feed.

			== Translation help ==

			Hello Kaikai, I noticed that you are an editor from the Chinese Wiki. There are a few terms from ''Dynasty'' I would like to ask your help in translating, if you do not mind.

			First is 移春檻. Our current article title for that is "[[Yichunkan]]", based on the pinyin, but I think for this subject, it is awkward to leave it as that in English. I would like to rename it to a translated name. The official English publication uses "Shifting Springs", but because they already have many errors in translation elsewhere, our team has already decided not to rely on them. I think "Shifting Springs" does sound nice in English, but it leaves out the 檻, and I wonder if our Chinese audience wouldn't like that.

			Here are my ideas:
			*"Bouquet of Shifting Spring" – this sounds the best in English out of all the options, but it deviates from the meaning of 檻.
			*"Basket of Shifting Spring" or "Shifting Spring Basket"
			*"Cage of Shifting Spring" or "Shifting Spring Cage"
			*"Carriage of Shifting Spring" or "Shifting Spring Carriage"
			*"Wagon of Shifting Spring" or "Shifting Spring Wagon"
			*"Cart of Shifting Spring" or "Shifting Spring Cart"

			Otherwise, the other term I need help with is 花魁. My understanding is that this is the grand prize of the contest, but I have found it challenging to render accurately into English. "Flower prize" sounds too plain. It can be hard to find the right fit between two languages because they need to sound good in both. I often cross-reference between English and Chinese dictionaries for terms, looking at their etymologies, history, and connotations to try to find the best fit.
