Rune Worth - odd name translation on database

adoru • Oct 28, 2008 at 09:14
http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/1241 Why is it listed as "Rune Worth -The Young Noble Of A Wire-Puller"? The title listed in Japanese just below is "ルーンワース黒衣の貴公子", which translates to "Rune Worth: The Young Noble Clad in Black" or "Rune Worth: The Black-Wearing Noble Youth." I have no idea where this Wire-Puller business is from. :) Any comments? Maybe we should update the listing.

I have changed it. the literal translation would be "Rune Worth - The black clothes of a noble youth".

You are correct, I was being a little fancy with the translation. :) Thanks for the update! Looks great. :D

You are welcome. the の particle can sometimes indeed be troublesome it has many meanings in Japanese but a rule of thumb would be to see it as a genitive. Glad I could help. :)
