Regarding the use of translated novel passages as quotations in discussions, you may use translated quotes in your discussion posts under these conditions.

1) The quote must be used to support your discussion post. It can't be the reason for the quote.

2) The quote should be obviously related to your overall point. If your quote supports your point in the first paragraph, talks about something else for a few paragraphs, then goes back to supporting your point, edit the quote to only the relevant parts.

3) Do not say where you got your quote from. You can mention that the quote is from volume xx but don't say where you got the translation from. If someone asks you where it came from, don't answer.

4) The quote shouldn't be too long.
