Talk:Quicksand Waterfall Flow

 * How is the name given by the author of the series we are documenting, unnecessary. S im A nt 00:03, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * well then that's it then isn't it... it just sounded so fan made =_=" --Cerez365 (talk) 00:06, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats what happens when you directly translate things sometimes.--TheUltimate3~The User King~ 00:13, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I dislike the translation, though. I suggest Quicksand Waterfall Flow. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:14, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't you already do a passover of all Gaara's jutsu years ago? How did you not see this one?--TheUltimate3~The User King~ 00:17, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no idea, actually. Maybe I just overlooked it. The style of the name is quite different from Gaara's other techniques, after all. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:20, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * yes! YES! I shall be the wind that brings about chang- I mean that shounds good Shounen.--Cerez365 (talk) 00:26, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Isn't Quicksand Hard flow the Chinese translation? Wouldn't Hard flow sediment be the Japanese?TwinRisingDragons (talk) 02:47, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, why? —ShounenSuki (talk 09:08, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

For some reason 流砂瀑流 can be translated into both Chinese and Japanese. I've checked a few more pages just to be sure. Every name Jutsu name I've seen is Japanese except this one when i pull up the text in a translator it says its Chinese it must be the way its worded. I think its kinda interesting why out of all the jutsu this one is different.TwinRisingDragons 14:11, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, see, there's the problem. You're using a machine translator. The name of this technique consists only of kanji, including one that is rare in Japanese. It seems to be a lot less rare in Chinese, causing the machine translator to think it's supposed to be Chinese. Even so, neither translation should be trusted. Machine translators are unreliable, even when translating between two closely related languages, let stand between two languages as different as Japanese/Chinese and English.
 * Things are even further complicated by the fact that in neither language, the name of this technique would be a normal use of language. It being a name and all. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:39, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
