Hey there. Someone posted their translation of cute fish girls doing cute things, so that requires TL-checking and editing. If anyone is up to doing either, it would be appreciated.
>Fish people have been welcomed to the town where the human girl Wakasa Otomi lives, and they are integrating well. The fish people can be identified by the physical marks of their fish species, though they take medicine to keep their lower bodies human rather than a fish tail. Otomi loves fish people, and is eager to meet as many as she can! One day, she meets a new transfer student, a lantern fish girl named Tsutsumi Anko. Anko is a bit self-conscious about being a deep sea fish, with a tail that is not cute like some other fish girls. At school, she and Anko deal with various fish problems that intersect with issues an ordinary human high-schooler would face.

Key:
nothing = text that is enclosed in speech or thought bubbles
[ ] = text that is enclosed in rectangular narrative boxes OR information in the margins
* * = sfx, signs, and dialog that is not enclosed in speech/thought bubbles (I didn't do all the sfx but I tried to get all the dialog and signs)
( ) = notes, most can be safely ignored
(?) = means 'not sure if i translated this part right'
in general, a new line indicates a new speech/thought bubble, and a skipped line indicates a new panel. But I may not have been consistent in this.
I changed proper names to western order.
I left senpai and kouhai as is, and sometimes sensei and honorifics as well. I figure people who don't know can just google it.
Scientific names: The original Japanese lists the order, family, genus, and species of newly introduced fish characters. Sometimes it also includes suborders, subfamilies, subgenera, and common names. If this takes up too much space in English, it would probably be fine to just put the genus and species, e.g. Himantolophus groenlandicus. Whatever you decide, make sure you italicize properly, or the scientific community will laugh at you! I generally tried to use the common name of a fish in normal dialog, if one exists. I tried to steer clear of localizing fish puns.

episode 5: lonely toxic transfer student (wordplay: there are two kodoku's in japanese, one means solitude and the other means poisoning. this takes the ko from the former and the doku from the latter, forming what is essentially a nonsense word for most other contexts but i think it works really well for this kind of thing)

that girl's a mermaid, how cute...
there are more of them this year than ever before
I think my school is already about one-tenth mermaid

i wonder what that girl's tail fin is like...

well, i just happened to witness that scene with your amazing glow stick shining back there
...illicium
[illicium = shiny lure]
I hope I'll get a chance to see your tail fin soon!
ABSOLUTELY NOT
to mermaids that's sexual harrassment.
besides,
no one would care to see the tail of an atlantic footballfish

(CCF-0007)
ahh what do i care. deep sea creatures are such glum, introverted things with bad communication skills after all.
you should try to be more sociable like us tropical fish.
flaring up at people whenever you get a chance is a sad way to live
as expected from a betta, your personality's a complete cliche. (pun, betta and cliche are homonyms in japanese) why don't you go fight yourself in a mirror.
[betta are highly aggressive. they even consider their reflections to be enemies.]
touna, just drop it already.
yeah you're right... to think that this social outcast of a deep sea fish ever came onto dry land in the first place-
-is ridiculous!

it's very pretty. I think it's nice!
..!?
you can't be...
I'm serious
I can tell that you tend to your tailfin every day, don't you? I think that's the most important thing for a mermaid
they come in all different shapes and sizes
right, wakasa?
yeah, anko's cute...
it...kind of takes my breath away
w-what are you saying (awwww)
>>112585208

Anko is the cutest.
(CCF-0016)
one more thing before you go
speaking as a senpai
since there's always a fixed demand for deep sea fish,
don't worry and you'll be fine. <3
*demand?*
how about just this once
i'll show you mine as well?
Tsutsumi's thing during class probably had to do with mermeds
to put it into words... that quiet suffering... (?)
(CCF-0017)
though that might be a bit of an overstatement
I'm coming in!!

It's an honor to meet you
I'd like to get your advice on some things...
eh... ah
*slime*
gasp!!
I'm sorry! I must have surprised you. The truth is...
(CCF-0021)
I... Whenever I get nervous or excited, I become extremely slippery
...especially
when I'm with a person I l-like

Excuse me!
Have I said something wrong!?
y-you're too loud...
a-anyway, please continue...

Yes!

Bettako-sempai!
I'll break your light bulb...
so, what do you need?
(CCF-0023)
I have heard your tale! when my kouhai is troubled, there should be no reason for me to turn a deaf ear to her.
If it's advice you need, why don't you consult this elegant mermaid, Touna Suzuki?
If you consult a deep sea fish, you'll receive nothing but negative responses...
Perhaps she even intended to seduce her poor kouhai with her lure?
Anyway, you're not good enough
You should just go home!
close your eyes for a bit...
ah, yes!
(CCF-0024)
I see, so in order to confess to the boy you like
my eyes
my eyes...
I need to improve my physical constitution!
but, why me?
Oh, that's because...
it's well known that deep sea fish have muciferous constitutions
*<eelpout> gelatinous body*
*<hagfish> defends themselves with large amounts of mucus*
I just thought I should ask a mucus pro about mucus matters.
You're not wrong, but it's kind of painful, this recognition...
Hmmm...
In my situation, the mermeds repress that to some extent, so... (part of it is covered up, but this translation is probably pretty complete)
*my advice wouldn't be of much...*
LEAVE IT TO US!
Deep sea fish sempai can solve anything!
!?
>>112584670
Those lines in the bottom left panel in the boxes are her saying that for someone like her who likes mermaids, just walking around town is exciting/fun.
Other than that, the translation seems great so far.
(CCF-0025)
um, also try...
maybe some breathing techniques
hooo, haaa
Somehow... I feel like this isn't quite right...
you could also try washing yourself in cold, salty water
or was that part of a recipe...
write "fish" on the palm of your hand and swallow hard (as far as i can tell, this is a charm performed to relieve nervousness. one writes the kanji for "person" on one's palm with one's finger and swallows. there are different variations though. i think it comes from a kind of pun involving an alternate definition of the verb nomu; to drink/swallow, or to think nothing of/not be bothered by an adversary or opponent. i think the closest thing in english would be the figure of speech, 'to swallow your fears.' Anyway, back to the translation)
oh shoot... i have no idea what i'm talking about
Thank you, deep sea fish sempai!!
I somehow get the feeling that I can do this confession now
well, sorry... good luck
hmm
ah, to be young
you were down the whole time...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Good for you! Seems like everything went swimmingly.
Well, even though your slime didn't go away.
S-sorry, I wasn't able to help you
Don't be! Everything turned out alright in the end!
Thanks to you two, my happiness level is skyrocketing!!(joke: unaginobori = skyrocketing, maybe i could say 'flying like an eel' or 'unr-eel' or something)
So in return, I've made some broiled eel for you!
Thanks...
Rather, is it really okay for you to do that!?
Well then, I'll be off now!

Amazing!
That's great, anko! Looks tasty!
We didn't have anything to do with that

never again will I do something...

It's so pretty, your... um, lantern!
What's with this all of a sudden...
Well... Once again, I found myself staring at it intently.
[Anko's Lantern
Anglerfish use an illicium as a lure to attract their prey.]
It's somehow as if I'm being drawn toward it...
hmm... well, that is what it was originally for...
I think you shouldn't stare at it too much.

Remember the reason you came here, me!!
Come sunbathe with me, Angler-chan!
*squish*
Ah...
This sensation and volume... What a great tailfin...!
Uhuhu... (sensual laugh?)
Say, why don't you let out your tailfin too!
EH- my tailfin's a little...
It's ok, nobody's going to see it! It's just us mermaids here~<3
*grope*
UWAWAWA...
(CCF_0066)
uu....
How did
this happen...
(CCF_0067)
Even though I definitely didn't come here for this...
maybe it's just what the sea doctor ordered
[THE SEA DOCTOR
The ocean sunfish distributes certain kinds of antibiotics from its body.
Though unverivied, it's thought that wounded fish gather to them for healing.]
You're so small and cute, Angler-chan. Your tailfin is squishy and wonderful too~ <3
The truth is, that's what I wanted to ask you about...
It's nice of you to say that... but I'm so short... and my body and tailfin are shaped like this...
So... I wondered if there was a way I could be...
you know.. more voluptuous, like you...
As for me,

>to put it into words... that quiet suffering... (?)
If she had just spoken up (the class/teach would've understood)
But she just suffered quietly...
(CCF_0068)
I didn't do aaanything at all
Floating along leisurely, I just lived in a way that's honest and true.
You shouldn't worry so much.
This life of floating along isn't so bad.
...
True to myself... huh...
Ah, that's right
(CCF_0069)
Whenever you've produced eggs lately,
how many have there been?
*Guh*
Wait... wha-
What kind of question is that...
*thump thump*
Yesterday was crazy for me. Fish like me can produce up to three hundred million at a time.
[said to be the most for a vertebrate]
Three...!?
We mermaids make eggs, don't we? So maybe once you've produced a lot you'll be more womanly~ just kidding <3
There were so many that I had to take pictures. Look
YOU TOOOK PICTURES!? ....Incredible...
(CCF_0070)
Let's sunbathe together again sometime <3
I didn't end up learning anything from her
but I somehow feel much better now
I'll do my best in the afternoon classes...
Welcome back!!
(CCF_0071)
What's with that face... and those binoculars
...Don't tell me
Well... I didn't originally intend to spy
*gush gush*
I'M SORRY!! IT WAS MARVELLOUS!!
By the way, Anko
About those mermaid eggs...

This is quite enjoyable.

Glad you're enjoying it. v3 comes out in October.
(CCF_0074)
...Hm?
Wah, amazing outfit...
And a scene I feel like I've witnessed before...
She's really scared of cats... I wonder if she's a mermaid?
*Depart from me!*
Close your eyes!
*Pya* (I think this is supposed to be the cat's scream?)
*nyaaa-*
(CCF_0075)
...It's gone now. Are you ok?
There are a lot of cats around here...
Um... Is something wrong?
Ku ku... Ku ku ku (evil laughter, obv)

I can see that you... are also a possessor of "The Power" (furigana is more like a definition than a pronunciation)
I am in your debt....That uniform... Mayhaps we shall meet again!
...?
[The next day]
(omission) ...that we might meet again sometime.
Really? that's nice.
I wonder if she lives in the area?
Maybe I'll see her too..
Alright, take your seats
(CCF_0077)
Today a new student will be joining us.
Come on in, Akame Fukuda.
*murmur murmur*
Woah, it's a girl. Good job!!
Ah, check out her ears... She's a mermaid?
Seriously!!
.....!!
(CCF_0078)
Fukuda's a puffer fish mermaid.
Go ahead and introduce yourself.
My name is "Scarlet Reaver." (ok i get it, she thinks dorky fantasy names are cool, kinda like DQN names... not sure, but i think this is really pronounced 'higan he sasou akame,' scarlet eyeballs that beckon one to nirvana)
I am one who possesses "The Power." Well met, humans...
*...woooww....*
Mayhaps I was led here by my guardian angel.
Thank you for yesterday,
"Lightbringer."?(koumyou no hakobite, bearer of light)
Eh... Light... WHO?
(CCF_0079)
Hey hey, Fukuda-san
What was that scarlet-whatsit from earlier?
Those red eyes! They're so pretty! Why are you wearing gloves?
Ku ku... Humans who do not possess "The Power" should not delve too deeply.
I do not intend to involve unrelated persons.
However, I do have a question to ask you.
It's about a mermaid... the other "Power Wielder" in this class.
Are you referring to me?
(CCF_0080)
Welcome to this class! Miss transfer student! I am Touna Suzuki, a betta mermaid!!
Be grateful that your mermaid senpai, id est I, will be showing you the ropes here!
Yeah... You can always count on Suzuki to involve herself!
But what an overbearing manner she has...! Is this another trait of betta fish!?
Hmm... So this class had another mermaid. But unfortunately, you are not the one I require.
W-WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY!!
!!
L-look!
(CCF_0081)
Suzuki is FLARING!!
She intends to put her in her place by any means!!
[Flaring
Threatening behavior of betta fish.
They shake their bodies to fan out their fins and opercula.]
The transfer student falters slightly!!
*flinch*
But wait!
SHE'S PUFFED UP!! THE TRANSFER STUDENT HAS PUFFED HERSELF UP!!
EXPECT NO LESS FROM A PUFFER FISH MERMAID!!
*pfffff*
(CCF_0082)
WHAT A STANDOFF... NEITHER PARTY IS YIELDING AN INCH!
IS THERE NOTHING WE HUMANS CAN DO!?
Ku ku... It seems that ordinary methods won't suffice this time...
THE TRANSFER STUDENT HAS DEFLATED... IS SHE ABOUT TO ADMIT DEFEAT?
Fine...
*slip*
I'll show you
"Toxic Catastrophe"!!!?(moudoku no shuuen, demise of deadly poison)
(CCF_0083)
*suck-pop*
*grin*
W-what just happened!?
Just... What are you trying... gasp! My body is...!?
(CCF_0084)
IT'S PUFFER POISON!!
SUZUKIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
[Which parts are poisonous depends on the type of puffer fish. For the red-eyed puffer it's the skin, liver, ovary, etc.]
How do you like it?... My tetto... tetro... to
she can't say it
she can't say it
...My poison's flavor!
[Tetrodotoxin
A deadly poison that inhibits neurotransmission, causing paralysis]
[Puffer poison is incredibly dangerous. Please do not under any circumstances imitate the actions of Miss Fukuda.]?(?)(not exact but close enough i think)
Rest easy. Her dose was weak enough to confer only light paralysis.
Sink into the eternal darkness!
(CCF_0085)
Stand, bow!
Oooh, it's finally lunch time
Let's go buy some food
Thus even here am I enveloped in solitude.
This is the fate of those who possess "The Power"...
I'm used to it... It seems I would have encountered that girl sooner or later anyway
Fukuda-san, Fukuda-san!
(CCF_0086)
I'm Otomi Wakasa! Let's eat lunch together!!
I'm Anko Tsutsumi
What was that... light-whatever from this morning?
Eh...
She's been constantly fidgeting since this morning...
That's becauseeeee- it's a NEW mermaid!? NEW mermaid!
*it's annoying...*
[Mental scenario]
You saw me use "The Power," didn't you?
It's a deadly poison that's even been called "Godslayer"...
(CCF_0087)
Because of "The Power" wherever I go I'm forced into a state of solitude
Before I knew it, the books of dry land had become my "friends"... They showed me the way
This is the destiny of the Chosen One... The trial my guardian angel has given me!
ah, there she goes again...
So now you must understand
Are you not terrified of me?
For this girl curiosity probably wins out over fear...
It's said that curiosity killed the cat...
It didn't kill that cat yesterday though
... I can't touch anything that scary...
Hmmm... But in reality...
I don't think I'm the only one who's not afraid of you.
(CCF_0088)
You could've at least timed your greeting better, like us
You jumped the gun...
Any plans for tomorrow?
My database...
Ah, Bettako's on her feet again...
I won't leave it at this...
I guess we've gotten used to how weird all the students are in this school
...why are you looking at me when you say that...
...Well, when I first transfered here I was insecure about my appearance...
But this girl... Wakasa introduced herself to me... so I've gotten along somehow
Yaaay, all thanks to me!
Hey.... don't get a big head about it
>>112586782
So was Wakasa swayed by the lantacles (lantern tentacles, it's what I'm calling them) or is she just going with the flow cause she's a baka?
(CCF_0089)
You should know that it's reckless
Are you worthy of fighting alongside me?...?By your leave, I will ascertain it.
Pleased to meet you, "Lightbringer"
... and human servant...

I'm going now!
Anko! Your bento!
I put a lot of effort into it, so you mustn't forget it~
Isn't it kind of bigger than usual...?
[Lunch time]
Woooow, Anko's bento is amazing!
... My dad made it for me...
*I want to <3 fuse with you* (the lower part of the bento)
You fuse, Anko!?
I DO NOT!! ...but my relatives mumble mumble...
Even so, just what is up with my mom's desire for fusion... (?)
*this is so embarassing*
[Finding a breeding partner is difficult in the deep sea. In some species of the footballfish family (Himantolophidae), the male becomes parasitic with the female in order to miss no oportunities. The male fuses, then loses its internal organs except for its gonads, which continue to develop, to concentrate resources on producing offspring.]

If you don't like it why don't you walk faster?
...You're so tactless...
Try to learn by my example
yeah, yeah
(CCF_0098)
I wonder what Bettako-chan's place is like~
I can't wait to see it, Akame-chan
Wakasa! Why are you following me all the way to my house!!
Me too. I wonder if they'll give me apple juice (kindan no akaki seisui, forbidden red holy water)
YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE!!
Is that a no?
What else could it be!!
For goodness sake... My aloof image would be...

A school for super rich young ladies, where only elite mermaids attend!!
*<imaginary drawing>*
The mermaids from chosen family lines who have attended there in pursuit of beauty spanning many generations
are to mer-mania the most admirable of people!!
And to think that I'm seeing them in a place like this
I'll be taking pictures later!
what's mer-mania...
(CCF_0101)
Hee hee, it's just as you say!
You are well informed, for a mere human!!
Ohh... A contemptful remark toward humans! Fascinating!!
I see... A noble aura hangs about them
What's their relation to you, Bettako-chan?
Not much...
We were together until middle school
Yet, you haven't changed at all
Your height, and your chest
Shut up! It's called transistor glamour!!
Transistor glamour... Small and sophisticated... BUHUH-!! (She's reading straight from japanese wikipedia)
(CCF_0102)
Enough of your impudence. This is where you meet your doom.
Today we'll settle this once and for all!!
Transistor... lo... Loli big-boobs!? k...kuhuhuh... (she's quoting the nicovideo dictionary article on transistor glamour, which compares the term to loli kyonyuu)
Settle what... I have no clue what you're talking about
D-don't tell me you've forgotten!!

but I didn't apply there. It's too stuffy.
I won't allow you to
quit while you're ahead!!
She's got problems...
And Bettako-chan... What a cliched past... (again with the pun on beta, see CCF_0007)
*Woooah*
But... Things are different now
As anyone can see

Observe well
You schoolmates too...
The difference in our splendor!!

How impertinent!
It seems life in the algae-covered fish tank has stolen your charm!
Hey, are you guys alright with her talking like that?

IT'S NO USE...!!
Whoops.
Been cleaning for a tiny bit.
Do people prefer the original 300dpi, or is going to 96 fine?
In commercial work I've been moving things to 96 for web, but remembered that people will probably download the chapter.

is there a shark girl?

She's got transistor glamour.. PUHU!

You set yourself up for that... (lit you dug your own grave)
Now then... It's my turn
You guys! I'm counting on you!
Well?
I reckon I haven't known her long enough to form an opinion
Well then, Anko will represent all her friends!
EH, Why me!?
Hmmmmm

By what criteria...
Anyway, now it's two-zero...
OH NO! LOOK!!

What is a cat doing in there!?
How should I know!
W-what should we do...

It can't be helped, guess I'll have to-

W-what?
Good job... Actually, what I was going to say before is, you don't abandon people when they are in trouble
That's ... kind of cool... in my opinion
(CCF_0115)

in front of everyone, in a loud voice

"Cherish the encounters" is my motto!!
Let the investigation begin!!

Hm? Ah, you're talking about Samejima-senpai from third year...
I heard she sends her enemies into cardiac arrest just by scowling
I heard it makes them explode... (her scowl that is)
[Witness 2]
Samejima-senpai? I've heard about her...
I heard she collects the teeth of policemen she's beat up. She's seriously bad news...
[Witness 3]
Attracted by the smell of blood, she intruded on a motorcycle gang altercation.
Both sides were literally "gnawed asunder" and destroyed. She's a living legend...
...Well
*plop*
*Investigation Notebook*
That's how it is...
(CCF_0122)
*This is the
general impression...*
She seems to be famous around here... (?) (not sure about meaning of sono suji in this context)
Makes me want to... meet her again...

Excuse me...
*jump with surprise*

S-SAMEJIMA-SENPAI!?
W-what do you want from us?...
Please don't act so scared...!
Sorry for giving you such a fright earlier...
I finally happened to see you, so I thought I should apologise... Want some fried chicken?
...Thank you
But at school, you seemed very out-of-sorts...? (lit. "compared to (when we met) at school your mood is considerably...")
Ah... I can't see well without my glasses, so it looks like I'm glaring... And if I don't wear a mask everyone gets scared
*Dry land's conveniences are amazing* (she's referring to corrective lens technology)

*bones and all...*

Another tooth came out. That's the third one today...
*that was her own tooth*
Ah, I'm slowly beginning to see the truth, senpai
[Shark teeth
Lost relatively easily and replaced quickly. It's said that they go through 20,000 in a lifetime.]
So, the story about how you singlehandedly beat up the motorcycle gangs is...
Ahh... I have no idea about that. I mean, that it progressed that far... it was a bit surpising. Being a girl... (?)
Nee-saaan, we're baaack
Uh oh
(CCF_0126)
We bought you something to drink
*swagger swagger*
Excuse me for a minute
*Ueeee*
*can't see shit*
Thanks for your help.
Huh? Bullying the kouhais again?
What do you mean "again"? Don't lump me in with you. (she's talking in a much less polite way than before)
Anyway, you guys can go home for today.
Eeeeh, what's with you? On your period?
Do what I say! We're trying to talk about girl stuff here!!
Hii! Your eyes are scary, Nee-san!!
(CCF_0127)
... So, yeah
*swagger swagger*
Whatcha wanna do?
Go eat somethin?
All those rumors spread from that eye squinting
Before I realized it, some hot-blooded kids had gathered under me...
-But you know, boys who admire strength are very genuine and supportive
I've slowly developed a sense of duty, so at least in front of them... you know.
*they're not bad kids you know*
*Hoeee*
(CCF_0128)
Even though we just met, we talked about something strange
Now that you know how it is, please don't act so afraid. See you later
W-wait!!
I'm deeply moved!
Considering your kouhais even when faced with adversity, you're truly a model senpai!!
No... it's nothing so significant...
IT IS SIGNIFICANT!!
(CCF_0129)
However... for you to go on alone pushing yourself like this is too much.
I want the scary people to see the real you as well... I'm sure they'll understand...
But... If we did something like that, they might be disappointed
It'll be fine!!
I have a good idea
You're beautiful, so it will go great!!

[Several days later]
Isn't this unusual? Being called out by Nee-san like this

It's often said, "I want to go back to being a normal girl!" and such.
You idiot. Isn't it the opposite?
Eh... really?
...What does Nee-san want to be anyway...?
You guys just go home already...

I also think "I wonder what I'd like to be" sometimes!
Could it be that she's undecided!?
...By the way Wakasa...
What about that brand new dress?
? It's for me!
SERIOUSLY!?

Episode 8.5: Samejima After
Hwaaa
It got completely dark out
I totally didn't expect you to have that kind of dress...
Really? I thought it fit my image perfectly though
You should try it on some time too
Why should I... Such a thing wouldn't suit me

Yes it would, you'd probably look like Rusalka
What's that... Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Water goddess of Slavic mythology]
You're so negative, Anko!
There are a lot of good things!
...for instance?
First and foremost... Walking home safely at night!!
Well... It is dangerous
You're attracting a lot of attention
Because people passing by will surely do a double-take
Against their will... (?)(?)(?)
(CCF_0138)
What else...
Your size is small and cute!
Your twinkling light is cute!
And... Your tailfin is cute!!
Th-that's all your opinion though
I have a complex about all of that...
Your complex could also be seen as an advantage!! ... Ah!
(CCF_139)
Your light has taken on a pink hue!!
Cute!! What is it? Why?
shut up
Are you getting embarrassed!?
Don't look
*Gleam*
Whohoah!!
You can't fool me like that!
Muu...
(CCF_0140)
Aha, ahahaha!
With you, every day is fun!
I'm glad I became friends with you, Anko!
*au..*
I hope your light will
always be there to illuminate me
Just kidding~!
...
...idiot
AH!!
Officer, there they are
That bright flash a while back...
What were you two up to?
Would you mind following me to the police box?

Afterword
Hello, this is Inuinu.
I began this work without knowing right from left, but thanks to everyone encouraging me I was able to see it through to book form. (fuck it, i'm not translating the rest)

No and no. I'm not finding these mermaids super sexual (pretty odd fish choices), but it is cute.

Thank you op, bumping. There are a great number of new monster girl content i am happy.
This art is 2cute
>>112584859
>oh it's here it's here
If you don't just have this on dump and are actually still around: proofreading a bit as I typeset here and there.
Should this be "Oh, she's here, she's here!"?
Assuming the speaker has Wakasa as the subject, it would make more sense.
Unless the speaker is referring to the arrival magazine itself, or the location/discovery of said gravure idol in the magazine.
Also took the liberty of changing
>>112584777
to "Flash" as it seems a flash would be more effective in scaring off an animal
>>112584820
>Absolutely not
Changed that to "No way in hell", but that's a bit localized (and has been translated as such in some of my previous projects), so it depends on taste, I guess.

Now THAT'S what I call a tail.
