I'm not sure whether I should be posting this in here, but I'll go for it.

As I probably pointed out elsewhere, the translators of the Negima scanlations didn't render most of the Latin phrases in the manga very well. Even many of the translations in the official, English-language Negima books aren't very accurate. (It seems that the translator or translators simply translated the Japanese translations of the Latin words, so the meanings of the Latin words have to get through two language barriers.) With that said, I would like others here to know that I would be more than happy to help the translators of the upcoming Negima anime with the Latin used in the series. My inner Latinist wants to see the Latin written and translated as well as possible.

Position seeking: Latin-language consultant for the Negima anime

I hope to add some of the Latin phrases to my Latīnitās Negimāria article soon. Feel free to read the article.
