Hi, we can't thank you enough for your translations! I'm curious, why the choice of any Italian words? Conoscete la lingua?
You're welcome! We don't actually speak any Italian ourselves. The Italian words really are part of the event titles since MHYK likes to incorporate foreign words into their event titles. Words that are in Japanese, we tl to English. Words in another language... well, we do our best to guess what the word is lol.
By coincidence, we just happened to have worked on events that used Italian words! Off the top of my head, there's other events like Bride '22 that used French (chéri) in title. We're just using what we think is the most appropriate word that matches the katakana (because tl can vary, and it's just our educated guess based on the event themes and motifs). For example, we used noce for walnut instead of noche for night in Vday '24 because the event logo and fruit artwork looks like a walnut, and there's nothing in the event about night.
tidbit: seems like Italian might be one of the most common foreign languages that the writers/c0ly picks for the titles

Beluga anon here, thanks for answering! Love all the thought and care you guys put into your tls 💓💓

How did you guys even figure out Beluga's name reference 🤣 I thought it would be the animal!
Tbh it's just lots of googling and a strong desire to NOT call a character Beluga lol. Sen was actually looking for what else it might be since the name's so specific it must be a reference to something (Belukha Mountain was a top contender for a while), until he found the short film and were like welp... it really is Beluga then!

back here again cause i just finished the white day event story and i wanna thank you again for translating it as a rutile fan i loved this story so much and the way you guys communicated the little details and the actual ritual taking place aahhhhh 🥹🩷i will hold this story dear to my heart 💓 also... sorry if you guys are already aware of this but i thought i'd mention it just in case it was an accident, but i believe there's a part of faust and arthur's convo at the beginning of chapter 7 that's not on the dreamwidth, im really sorry if it sounds rude of me to point it out aaa i already understood the gist of their convo but i thought i'd let you guys know in case it was a site error, hope it wasnt a bother and thank you guys again for the translation im so grateful 💜💜💜
bless you anon I JUST ADDED IT IM SO SORRY i cant believe this happened.
To elaborate: This was my fault orz. I missed copying and pasting it when wrangling the text. We (read: I) copypasta the text into and out of the gdoc, and I... left most of the scene behind, somehow. Definitely human error and not dreamwidth's fault at all! (Sen says it's his fault that he cut some corners in his final check before letting me post since he was busy with granblue, but like... text wrangling is my job lmao)
