Just try and explain how the text on [[http://i41.tinypic.com/24yxw94.jpg page 4 of the epilogue]] translates to [[http://community.livejournal.com/bokurano_ooc/24969.html \\\"A planet on which children are children.\\\"]]
Here\\\'s the Japanese line (you can compare with the actual page): \\\"僕の仕事はどこでもできるからね。\\\"
\\\"僕\\\" / \\\"boku\\\" means \\\"I\\\", \\\"me\\\". \\\"仕事\\\" / \\\"shigoto\\\" means \\\"work\\\", \\\"job\\\". Hence \\\"僕の仕事\\\" / \\\"boku no shigoto\\\" is \\\"my work\\\". Followed by the particle \\\"は\\\" / \\\"wa\\\", which means \\\"my work\\\" (Tate\\\'s work, here) is what the sentence will be about.
Then, \\\"どこでも\\\" / \\\"dokodemo\\\", which means \\\"anywhere\\\". \\\"できる\\\" / \\\"dekiru\\\": \\\"to be able to\\\". \\\"から\\\" / \\\"Kara\\\" is pretty much the Japanese \\\"because\\\", and \\\"ね\\\" / \\\"ne\\\" is, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_particles as Wikipedia puts it]], a particle that \\\"asks or shows agreement and reflection at phrase-end\\\".
The whole thing amounts to \\\"because my work can be done anywhere\\\", the implication being \\\"it\\\'s all right, because my work can be done anywhere\\\" (as a reply to Machi commenting on how he looks quite busy, on the previous page).
You can also try and copy/paste the sentence in [[http://translate.google.com Google Translate]], if you want.
You\\\'ll get \\\"I get to work from anywhere.\\\"
You can try that with [[http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ Babel Fish]], too.
The result: \\\"Because my work is possible anywhere, don\\\'t you think?.\\\"
Certainly doesn\\\'t sound like \\\"A planet on which children are children\\\", does it? But I guess that can\\\'t be helped, \\\'\\\'considering the original sentence doesn\\\'t even contain words like \\\"planet\\\" or \\\"children\\\" in the first place!\\\'\\\' I would \\\'\\\'love\\\'\\\' to see Amanda try and explain how she came up with that \\\"translation\\\" of hers.
And that\\\'s just \\\'\\\'one\\\'\\\' example, \\\'\\\'one\\\'\\\' sentence. I could do that for the whole thing, as well as for that compilation of parodies that was included with the limited edition of volume 11.

\\\"\\\'\\\'There is a person who is editing wikipedia and posting on TvTropes saying that the translation of the Bokurano Alternative novel is a lie, posting a fake story that just takes the illustrations -- the illustrations that, save for a few, have NOTHING to do with the actual story --\\\'\\\'\\\"
The illustrations of the novel series all have \\\'\\\'everything\\\'\\\' to do with the actual story. But little to do with your fanfiction, naturally.

How about you take some pictures of the novels and show us, for example, the part uninstall_earth was referring to above?
How about you explain how one manages to translate \\\"僕の仕事はどこでもできるからね。\\\" (from the epilogue) into \\\"A planet on which children are children\\\"?
Or Anko\\\'s \\\"せまっ\\\" (from the parody booklet) into \\\"we have to do this again?!\\\", for that matter?

Just try and explain how the text on page 4 of the epilogue:
http://community.livejournal.com/bokurano_ooc/24969.html
... translates to \\\"A planet on which children are children.\\\"
Here\\\'s the Japanese line (you can compare with the actual page): \\\"僕の仕事はどこでもできるからね。\\\"
\\\"僕\\\" / \\\"boku\\\" means \\\"I\\\", \\\"me\\\". \\\"仕事\\\" / \\\"shigoto\\\" means \\\"work\\\", \\\"job\\\". Hence \\\"僕の仕事\\\" / \\\"boku no shigoto\\\" is \\\"my work\\\". Followed by the particle \\\"は\\\" / \\\"wa\\\", which means \\\"my work\\\" (Tate\\\'s work, here) is what the sentence will be about.
Then, \\\"どこでも\\\" / \\\"dokodemo\\\", which means \\\"anywhere\\\". \\\"できる\\\" / \\\"dekiru\\\": \\\"to be able to\\\". \\\"Kara\\\" is pretty much the Japanese \\\"because\\\", and \\\"ne\\\" is, as Wikipedia puts it, a particle that \\\"asks or shows agreement and reflection at phrase\\\'s end\\\".
The whole thing amounts to \\\"because my work can be done anywhere\\\", the implication being \\\"it\\\'s all right, because my work can be done anywhere\\\" (as a reply to Machi commenting on how he looks quite busy on the previous page).
You can also try and copy/paste the sentence in Google Translate, if you want:
http://translate.google.com
\\\"I get to work from anywhere.\\\"
Certainly doesn\\\'t sound like \\\"A planet on which children are children\\\", does it? But I guess that can\\\'t be helped, \\\'\\\'considering the sentence doesn\\\'t even contain words like \\\"planet\\\" or \\\"children\\\" in the first place!\\\'\\\'
And that\\\'s just \\\'\\\'one\\\'\\\' example, \\\'\\\'one\\\'\\\' sentence. I could do that for the whole thing, as well as for that compilation of parodies that was included with the limited edition of volume 11.
