| | It's about a dragon, the criature which breathes out fire.
What I understand is that the dragon is magnificent at those two things - breathing fire and accumulating gold.  |

| | Oh! Where does he accumulate the gold? Inside of him or somewhere else?  |

| | Why did you edit my request, Francky5591? This has nothing to do with the title of a book! Could you AT LEAST ask permission first? My goodness, some people... |

| | Hi ellasevia,
You are an old member who is supposed to be familiar with our 9 submission rules .
If your request was edited, there must be a reason. The original request must have been out of frame and that's why Francky edited it in order to make it acceptable for translation.
I think you are skilled enough to pick from the translation what you want and forget the rest.
If not, I'm sorry. Next time we will simply remove the request which is not acceptable with no further explanation since this message contains the rules you must respect, therefore you will realize what your mistake was, OK?
My goodness, some people...

| | Yes, I'm sorry. I was just a bit annoyed with him because I had just gone through a bunch of the rules with him. I specifically made this request conform to the rules that he said my previous post was violating. He said that the submission had to have at least one conjugated verb, so I added the thing about the breathing fire and such, which was unessential. All I needed was the "fight of the dragon" part. But I do apologize. |

| | So..."The fight of the dragon" is in quotes in the translation.
What's your problem? |
| |

| | No, I am perfectly capable of pulling out the part I wanted. What was annoying me was just that he edited my translation and added something completely unrelated without asking. Yes, it is easy to remove, but assuming it wasn't...
Just forget the whole thing. I am grateful that it has been translated. |
