Talk:Toaru Majutsu no Index English Translations.pdf files

Could it be possible for the creator of these PDF to list the "latest modified date" in here or in somewhere else? This is so to get the idea of what version is the "latest", to check if what you got is "the one" or not. For example the current volume 22 in baka tsuki is "more up to date" than the PDF as some names were corrected recently (Degrox and I can't remember the other one).

BTW these were a great idea, I managed to reel people into the series with these, people that couldn't be arsed to see the anime nor the manga due to ABCDZ circumstances. Okashira - Imbued with Gold - 06:40, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

hi im the creator of the PDF, im gonna remake the volume 22 now since i also noticed some other changes besides the names, and im gonna add the date of the PDF as you asked, im planning on remaking all of them soon too add the "Afterwords" n correct all the things edited since i made the PDFs, feel free to point out any errors so i can fix them soon CarJ 07:08, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Light Novels are not likely to be officially licensed
A representative from Seven Seas (the publisher for the English version of the Railgun manga) stated that due to the number of Light Novel volumes and the fact they do not believe they could get the Index Light Novels to sell enough they are not attempting to pursue licensing them now. However, it should be noted that Yen Press seems to be doing (seemingly) a good job with selling Light Novels (namely Haruhi Suzumiya and Spice & Wolf), it is possible they could license the series.

Remaking PDFs to the (probably) last version
OK so for those who keep track of Baka-Tsuki wiki have probably noticed that Teh_Ping made this announcement:

"SUPERVISOR NOTICE: I will be locking up all the main translated stories, as according to how the stories were translated. Check the updates section for when I will be locking them. Format shall be in British English and past tense (except for dialogues and thoughts, which are to be in present tense).--Teh Ping 12:34, 11 July 2011 (UCT)"

and since ive been planning on remaking the PDFs to include all the changes made in the novels since i first made the PDFs, this is a perfect chance to do so. I will be remaking the PDFs to the (probably) final version after each volume is locked, this does not mean that ill quit keeping track of the changes, if theres a really big change after the volume is locked ill do the PDF again, but only if the things corrected r something big like completly changing someones name.
