Paragraph translation clarification.

Post by Majin Buu » Sat Sep 09, 2006 7:27 am

I've taken a paragraph from the instruction book for DragonballZ Greatest Legends and I wanted to know if the translation that I found is accurate or not?

恐怖の存在となつた魔人ブウと戦う新たな力。未知の力はかなうのか！？

The new power that Majin Buu wields is frightening. But is this unknown power only fleeting!?

According to Babelfish

:Terror の existence と な つ た evil spirit person ブ ウ と □う new た な strength. Unknown の strength は か な う のか! ?

And a random Google searched translator

:Terror の Has と な つ た Evil spirit person ブ ウ と 戦 う New た な Strength. Unknown の Strength は か な う の か ! ?


So I dont know. But my guess is your right.

Why would you even bother using those web-based translators when the person's obviously looking for an additional accurate translation?

Because he wants to know if he is even in the right ballpark.

[accursed forum software not recognizing Japanese text]

A quick read-over of that sentence makes me think that the power in question is meant to be fighting against Majin Buu. But it might help if I knew what the context was here.

By the way, that should be a small "tsu" in "natta."

I believe it's a stage description.

Something among the lines of: "A new power is fighting Majin-Boo, who has now became a dreadful presence. Will this unknown power be enough?!"
