You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Many thanks!

I've heard it said it's high time someone started hunting witchers, as there are fewer and fewer monsters and more and more witchers... Why don't you say anything? How much of the rumors about you witchers is true?""Practically nothing""And what's a lie?""That there are fewer and fewer monsters."

Just finised reading chapter 11, and I can say that both the novel and the translation is outstanding.

Thanks,

Amazing work...if you and Asheral82 are cool with it, I'll post the compiled book later today - haven't properly proofed it (not until after I've read it! :coffee:) but it's formatted nicely & spellchecked.

You guys are great. I can't wait to read Tower of the Swallow but I'll make myself wait until The Lady of the Lake is translated so I can read both and finish the series. Many thanks!

Okay, all eleven chapters in one doc - http://www.mediafire...5nyla0igdt1vyx5

Ran a spellcheck, didn't do a thorough proofing but I have to say, it's not really necessary - you've done a great job guys :unworthy: this is going straight on my Kindle.

Here's my compiled edited copy of Tower of Swallows.

Ive tried to keep all the formatting as much the same as possible.

EDIT

Please look ahead further in the posts I have posted an updated version to accommodate some more recent edits.

ePub of Sa'Kage's proofread copy of Tower of Swallow- I have to do it so I can read them on my nook, might as well share the link. (Check below for updated link) Formatting seems to be mostly correct, but I won't know for sure until I actually read it. So excited to, thank you for all your hard work guys. <3

Swapped Chapter 11's link for a slightly better edited version a couple minutes ago.

Also, I'll start on Chapter 4 of Lady of the Lake tonight.

Thanks,
Brian

I hope you gentlemen realize just how many people you're making happy with these translations. I am positive there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people who have discovered these translations and enjoyed them without posting or making a user name to do so. Until you guys made an appearance, I had resigned myself to reading one of these books every half decade, but now I can play the Witcher and the Witcher 2 and actually understand all of the big names they throw around, as well as various other references, and it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.

Thank you guys again, and I hope there's some relief in knowing that you're on the home stretch.

I had a friend proof read my checked copy and there are a few minor edits that I will make and then re-post the file but the one already up is pretty solid as is - there are only a few small fixes

Also I realize that I forgot to put Chap 11 on this document so the new post will have the missing chapter - sorry about that oversight.

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to give you all personal thanks and appreciation for the work and effort you have put into these translations. I read the first English book "The Last Wish" and became hooked on the series. I was severely disappointed to find out that not only one other book had been translated, but plans for the second novel are very flakey. Thank you for your translations so i can further my exploration and enjoyment of this world of fantasy and general Kick-assery! Also..Go Dandalion!!

Okay People.

Here is my final version of Tower of Swallows.

http://www.mediafire...90d36im0ry1ot41

I'll go back and delete the old link.

PS to the mediators. Is it possible to delete all the posts on here except for the first - which has a complete list and any posts that are older than say a month.

Just my thought so we could trim down the 15 pages that this thread has become and will no doubt continue to grow as the remaining translations are finished off.

Oh well was worth a shot SC.

I have finished proofreading the first two chapters of The Lady of the Lake.

I know Ash is working on chapter 3 and Brian on chapter 4.

Is anyone else doing any other chapters - Just so we don't have any overlap.

Asheral and Brian - thank you so very much for doing all this work for us! I am ridiculously excited about getting to read the whole series in order in the nearish future! :D Something to look forward to!

A want to sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to this enormous selfless effort.
This series means so much to me, and I had already given up hope to read the original books.
You have brought a lot of joy to another vivid Witcher Fan!
THANK YOU!!!

I, too, want to echo thanks to all of you who have put in such hard work!

I do have a question, though: Is there an English translation anywhere of the short story "Droga, z której się nie wraca" (A Road with No Return)?

I see that a translation of Something Ends, Something Begins is available, but, despite questions about A Road With No Return being asked 3 times in this thread, it doesn't look like anyone has provided a link to it. Does anyone know if it has been translated?
