  86. Identifying enemies through sounds meant...
  87. If its identifying its enemies through sound, that means...
  88. # no. this should all be in the past tense, look at next lines
  89.  
  90. the main body was not capturing targets with its eyes or light./Therefore, there is a main body which is surrounded by stone and as long as you destroyed the outer stone body, the main body would be safe.
  91. the main body was not aiming targets using its eyes or light./Therefore, there is a main body which is surrounded by stone and as long as you destroyed the outer stone body, the main body should be safe.
  92. # From context, this should all be in the past tense. The use of "main body" twice by the TL was likely an error, since the main body can't both be stone and the bird. There's too many sections to correct individually, so:
  93. # the bird wasn't aiming at targets with its eyes or light./Therefore, there must have been a smaller body surrounded by stone and as long as you destroyed the outer stone body, the main body would be safe.
  94.  
  95. In addition, thinking it had been infected by D-parts during summer break meant it had only been infected for a short period of time./Well...it was a gamble but it all worked out.
  96. Moreover, assuming that she has only been infected by D-parts during the summer break, this must mean that it has only been infected for a short period of time./Well...it truly was a gamble but it all worked out.
  97. # "she has" > "it had", "it has only" > "it had only", lots of extra spaces. There should be a space after the ellipses.
  98.  
  99. [END]
  100.  
  101. Overall, your main problems are missing grammar and syntax issues. Going over the script after you've made changes and reading it aloud should help with that. One thing in particular is that you mix up tenses, or just unnecessarily switch tenses like in [38].
  102.  
  103. There are some parts where you rewrite the original script that doesn't really improve the translation. The very first line where you remove "been" is an example of this. The original line worked fine. Personally I would recommend against doing changes for the sake of change, as it means the TL has to review more and more of the script. Of course, if you do think the script flows better that way, then it's just a matter of personal style differences.
  104.  
  105. In page [4], where you change "charging" to "running" is another problem. While it's not a huge change in the grand scheme of the chapter, you have to assume the TL's choice of wording is trying to be as true to the original as possible. In that line, the words "charging" and "fiercely" are used. Changing it to "running" changes the tone unnecessarily.
  106.  
  107. There wasn't anything else wrong with the PR that I could see other than those things.
