    I went there and downloaded the word file, but as u said it is half baked. So I just wanted to have some tips to make it better ( I DO NOT know a single character of Chinese and my English is not that good but i am willing to try). Seeing all the translators working so hard, i also want to lend a helping hand even though it might turn out to be a bucket of water in the ocean but I WANT TO TRY, so that atlest i can say that i tried.

    The word file is in english so there is need for a chinese literate ( I hope )
    So please anybody willing to help, pls give some tips.

    I really don't have any Chinese skill either, but the online tools can really help you understand the story and make a smooth translation, if you want.

    The online text is available in many places, including here for Gu Long's novels:
    Gu Long's Online Text
    There is a rather descriptive Gu Long's list of novels at Wikipedia
    Gu Long's wikipedia information

    And the Chinese character-by-character translation tool is readily available here:
    http://www.yellowbridge.com/language...dictionary.php
    and
    http://www.rikai.com/perl/HomePage.pl?Language=Zh

    Most of the sentences are pretty discernible by themselves without any help of the original text and the translator. However, there are some passages or Chinese names that got translated, and for those you would need the original text, copy/paste it into the translator, and glean the actual meaning.

    The original text was machine-translated by Systran (the engine behind babelfish, although I think it's a bit better than babelfish), and most of the names are edited already, but some might be left behind...

    You can PM me, if you want some more specifics.

    Good luck.

    Ill give a stab of translating Lu XiaoFeng Book 4: The Silver Hook Casino

    I dont promise anything, like actually finishing the translation. In case I cant finish the translation, Ill post the half-baked stuff anyway so people can actually glean the stories for themselves.
