[ShiMeiWo]

• Added sections where the English version has not kept up with revisions.
  • Especially the part about licensing.
• Fixed machine translation-like expressions into reasonable Japanese.
• Changed the opening attractor to a description in the style of a typical Japanese circular signboard, instead of making "p5Play" a predicate with the subject.
  • ex) は強力です！ -> パワフル！
• Added supplementary words because it is not well known to the Japanese that "Wyke" is the name of a college (大学).
  • Wyke の学生 -> Wyke 大学・学生
• Added translations of 16-0, 16-1.
• Changed Christiansen's "Only the best is good enough" to the Japanese translation on the official LEGO Japan website.
  • 「最良の物があれば十分である」 https://www.lego.com/ja-jp/service/data/

Section 17 is still incomplete in translation.

Additional changes:

• Added translation of the remaining part.
• Fixed machine translation-like expressions into reasonable Japanese.
• Improving the text.
• Fixed link designations.
  • ex) [Spite](../learn/sprite.html) -> [Sprite](learn/sprite.html)
• According to https://github.com/quinton-ashley/p5play-web/issues/26#issuecomment-2016845830, the proper noun "Quinton" referring to himself was replaced with "I" (私):
  • ex)
    Quinton Ashley is a Computer Science educator with a passion for game design and 7 years of teaching experience!
    ↓ I, Quinton Ashley, am a Computer Science educator with a passion for game design and 7 years of teaching experience! (私、 Quinton Ashley （クイントン・アシュリー）は、ゲームデザインに情熱を燃やすコンピュータ・サイエンスの教育者で、7 年の指導経験があります！)
• Added one-byte spaces ' ' between the ascii character words and the non-ascii character words.

Appendix: Contextual Translation of "Quinton"

For example, in line 139 of the original:

If not, Quinton teaches the following courses online:

If it is the name of an organization or corporation, would translate as:

If not, the following online courses that Quinton offers are available: (そうでない場合は、Quintonが開設している、以下のオンライン講座が受講可能です：)

In contrast, if it is referring to Mr. Ashley yourself, would translate as:

If not, please use the online courses offered by me. The contents are: (そうでない場合は、私が開設している、オンライン講座をご利用ください。内容は：)

I adopted the latter in this case.

Yeah I'm referring to myself in 3rd person in those sections even though I wrote them haha. In English this is commonly done in professional contexts to create a sense of personal detachment from the content, making it seem more objective or authoritative. It also can make it easier for readers to focus on the information rather than thinking about the person who wrote it.

I was curious why you'd change that and ChatGPT informed me that in Japanese referring to oneself in the third person is never done in this context. Even on resumes people most commonly start with a self-introduction that begins with the phrase "私は" ("I am"). Interesting!

One other issue with these sections that advertise my teaching services is that sadly I can't speak Japanese haha. Though perhaps the translation of these sections will be good for parents that send their children to a bilingual school but don't know much English themselves. Yet if anyone emails me expecting lessons in Japanese I'll let you know, perhaps you'd be willing to teach them!

Thanks for the interesting info!

In English this is commonly done in professional contexts to create a sense of personal detachment from the content, making it seem more objective or authoritative.

Actually, that is the part where I suspected that you were using "Quinton" in a context that should be separate from your own identity, e.g., as a name for a non-profit organization or a sole proprietorship. Also in Japan, it is not unusual to refer to oneself in the third person, which is an expression of modesty and humble attitude toward the other person.　

ex) 「それは Shi MeiWo が、お引き受けいたします。」 ↓ lit. "Shi MeiWo does it." fre. "(Such a chore is not for you to do.) Leave it to me."

But if anyone emails me expecting lessons in Japanese I'll let you know, perhaps you'd be willing to teach them!

Hmm, should I add "Only English accepted" (英語のみ受付) to this section? I will be translating the edited learn/world and the pro pages, and would like to commit to that as well.

Ah also interesting! And yeah you could add that line to the section.
