Translation technicalities or whatever it called

Okay I you`ve seen some of my work, most if it is memolist translation (original entry : http://akb48.blog48.fc2.com/)
I know that it`s a bit weird to make a translation of a lengthy entry such of it as there`s already a bunch of transtool like babelfish. But when I read the result of babelfish it was like "what a crap!" so I try to make some translation and fortunately some people like it
What my reason for all of the headache? it`s simple, I just love the MC, it show what is AKB48, it shows the potential of non-senbatsu member

Tools :
What tool do I use? maybe some of you curious how could I manage to do it?
well here`s what I used :
1. MS Reference Bookshelf Basic 2.0 <-my main weapon
2. http://www.csse.monash.edu.au <-more complete entry
3. Kenji Matsuura Japanese Dictionary
4. Reika Kanji Dictionary
5. Internet
Nope I don`t use any transtool or babelfish or anything smell like that

About copyright, yes it`s my translation, but I don`t have permission from memolist to do the translation, if I could ask permission I would gladly beg him, still I have no single clue of how to contact him so the only thing I could do is include his site on my post

About spelling :
I`ve seen some spelling type, but in my translation I`m using something like this :
to mention a person name I`m using Ou or Oo instead of Oh
ex : Ooya Shizuka not Ohya Shizuka, Oota Aika not Ohta Aika
and using Ou for O since the phonetics is actually written in Ou not O
ex : Satou Natsuki not Sato Natsuki the only exception is Katoono Mizuho because the kanji spelling can`t be read as Katouono

Vocabularies :
Vocabularies starting from 090521 will not be written in the translation, it`s now written in post opening. I will write the source if I can, if it`s not written that`s mean I`m using MS Bookshelf or ask to my friend. Later I`ll compile various weird word into a post, but for now I think it`s okay like this

*more info will be added later
