Rank History
I didn't find the right page so here is my question: does Gineipaedia have a table of correspondences between the original japanese military ranks and the translations used here? I made mine in French ([[1]]) as French Marine ranks are not easily adaptable to the Japanese military hierarchy. Anyway, the more I see Gineipaedia's content growing, the more I think it is a treasure for any reliable translator (rank histories, appearances for ships and characters, etc.). Thank you so much!

- There isn't any from the best of my knowledge; I guess you can use the rank pages (like Military ranks of the Free Planets Alliance for that since the ranks are arranged in order anyway. I could make a makeshift table in this page though, if it's ok.
Original title
 | Translation (space fleet)
| Translation (ground units)
| Notes
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 元帥 | Fleet Admiral | General of the Army | The rank title for land is never used |
| 上級大将 | High Admiral | Senior General | Used exclusively by the Empire |
| 大将 | Admiral | General | |
| 中将 | Vice Admiral | Lieutenant General | |
| 少将 | Rear Admiral | Major General | |
| 准将 | Commodore | Brigadier General | |
| 大佐 | Captain | Colonel | |
| 中佐 | Commander | Lieutenant Colonel | |
| 少佐 | Lieutenant Commander | Major | |
| 大尉 | Lieutenant | Captain | |
| 中尉 | Sub-lieutenant | Lieutenant | |
| 少尉 | Ensign | Second Lieutenant | |
| 准尉 | Warrant Officer | Warrant Officer |
- I'm not sure about the ranks of other non-commissioned officers and enlistees, and whether or not translations should distinguish air force ranks as well, but this should do for now =) Glacierfairy 20:12, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Name variations table
I don't know where to post this, but browsing the portal, I came up with the following idea: why not make a table which summarizes all the name spellings (characters, ships, places)? It may be a huge work, but isn't there any way to automate this task (like building a macro which picks only the "Nam variations" in the pages)? As I am struggling to make LOGH released in my country, and therefore to prepare a translation as accurate as I can, this table would be a very useful tool. Saga, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi there! I did hope to do this eventually, but unfortunately our name-variation data is no-where near complete, so i didn't want to start on it when we'd just have to keep making changes to it anyway. :/ Your best bet for the time being might be to manually compare my CA DVD names and DVD names pages ♥ kine @ 11:27, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Welcome
Hey there! I'm a little late, but i wanted to say welcome, and thanks for your contributions. Please let me know if you need anything! ♥ kine @ 00:48, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I am glad to see such a website, that fits the ambition of the masterpiece that is LOGH. I am working to make this work more popular in France (through GinEiDen.net). I'll contribute as much as I can. Saga, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
