Looks very good.

Maybe the pink parts and sky on Buu image behind the index page need some additional TLC to solidify the colors just a bit.

If you have the pages blanc I can translate the manuasl in to Finnish just for the fuck of it.
Or I can send you the translated text...
I can do the translation after you have translated the manual in to English.

first half of the ultimate menace manual:

https://www.box.com/s/60dc8zlaggercws51tva

let me know what you think before i go any further


As an Anime nerd I'd like to add my two cents:
P4-5: Sangoku should be Son Goku, Sangohan - Son Gohan, Sangoten - Son Goten, Seignereur Supreme God - Supreme Kai or Kaioshin, Baby D - Babidi or Bobbidi, Majin Bhu - Majin Buu, Supersapien - Super Saiyan,
P9: Attack Force should be Ki

Sorry if it sounds nitpicky...

Not nitpicky at all - i know nothing about DBZ, or this game at all, so if it needs fixing, let me know.

Also - which is more correct....Split Screen or Dual Screen?  The French insists on Dual Screen, but from the pictures it looks like split screen works better.

I'd say split.

I'd go with split screen. Dual screen implies two separate screens while split screen implies one screen split in half.

Yeah i thought split screen - changed on the index, and made the other suggested ammendments - i'll crack on with the 2nd half.

Arseen, I can insert the finninsh for you afterwards if you like, I have all the PSD's so it'll be easy enough to replace the text if you translate it.

OK, if you have the English text ready I can translate it faster than switching between the manual and the wordpad, but I can do it from the manual too.
So if you have the text would you mind PMing or e-mailing it.

Nope, I'm translating it page by page as I go.  I can probably copy/paste the first  15 or so pages into notepad and email it to you if you want to get started

Please do.
That way I can do it at work too.
They keep the computers there so out of date and with bare necesitties as possible to discourage all other than work use. ;D
So no PDF use, but Wordpad works.
And I don't want to takle my laptop there as it's semi-hospital enviroment with older folk who  like to scratch their bottoms but don't remember to wash their hands afterwards, need I say more...

Spanish one will be done soon  ;)

I should probably hold off on doing any more then, as chances are irv's will be better than mine, and no need for 2 English translations.

No toes being stepped on.   I was doing French to English of ultimate menace.  But only just over half way through.  I am sure your photoshop skills are better than mine, so I've stopped to see what yours looks like.

I'm doing "La Leyenda Saien" so we are definitely doing 2 different translations lol. And thanks for the compliment  :).
