The translation of the popular Jin Yong novel, "Divine Eagle, Gallant Knight", also known as Return of the Condor Hero, or ROCH, has been completed! The last chapters 35-40 have been edited and posted. Some earlier chapters are still being edited for name consistency (since they were translated by various people) and other minor things.
This is the first major Jin Yong novel that has been fully translated by fans. The project was started by Noodles, who spearheaded the translation effort up to chapter 24 (out of 40). It then became a real team work, with contributions from rayon, Lanny Lin, Athena, Hanky Spanky, BeeDreamer, Dugu Seeking A Win, Xiao_Long_Nu, JinYong_Fan, Sunnysnow, and last but not least: fox-s and IcyFox, whose passion for this project helped it reach the finish line at a speed that shames all qinggong masters. Ladies and gentlemen, a virtual standing ovation for our translators!
The credits also go to JamesG, Yu Ruan and Huang Yushi for their editing and online publishing work. Many thanks to the readers, who kept harassing encouraging us as we pumped out chapter by chapter.
Here's to more translated wuxia novels!
