YOOO nice!
That's come our surprisingly accurately :o

I think it would be enough to provide a 'partial' translation in this case so the reader doesn't feel like they're missing too much 🤔

I do like that approach, having common words be as they are in universe would definitely keep me immersed.
At least in my scenario each occurrence of the language barrier until now had been either ignored by the MC or something that was a second language.

Hmm yes. Gladly it's only going to be a singular occurrence so far, so I may get away with keeping the accurate meaning to myself haha

I know the feeling too! I do! Haha.

I'm glad you like my silly sealions, I'll gladly answer any questions you have and soon enough I'll have an update to my website with a page all about them. :)

Open question: Do you think it's confusing or frustrating to include another language written phonetically in a story without providing a translation somewhere?
Would you be more satisfied if a vague meaning was provided, or would you not mind?

Oh fuck it's finally happening 👀

Ah! Especially high praise from the master of cute! <3

Ah thank you! <3

Hell yeah they do!

+ A clean look at the text used in the books. The first image is a variant of Gilres, the second is an accuracy focused version of Rav Therey with spell casting shorthand.
