Hello everyone!

We've now given you books 1 and 2 of the Chronicles in English, and we continue our weekly schedule! The heroes' epic adventure now continues on CodeLyoko.fr through the Code Lyoko Chronicles' third book: "The Return of the Phoenix".

Our translators, backed by the rest of the "Chronicle of a translation" team, push on. This week, discover chapter 2 of book III: "Secret Agent W.".




[The Return of the Phoenix]
[Last version: Prologue & 2 chapters]
Translated by Kelsey







As you will have noticed from our first two books, the following steps have been taken to make sure that our final product looks as much like the real thing as possible:

- A layout that's almost identical to that in the original novels.
- Use of fonts in the original novels.
- The presence of (when the time comes) coloured illustrations in high quality that have been adapted into English.
- The presence of icons at the start of every chapter, scanned from the Italian versions and retouched for an optimal rendering.

Finally, we remind you of the section of the site that's completely dedicated to the Chronicles. You can notably find there a gallery containing images from the first two books and which has been updated with illustrations translated into English.
Also, our French colleagues are of course working on translating book 4 at the same time, available on the French version of this news post. Follow Jim!

To conclude, for those who haven't already hopped on the bandwagon:

[Book 1] - The Underground Castle
[Book 2] - The Nameless City


Chapter 3 will be titled: "Accessing the Mirror"

Have a nice read...
Until next Monday on CodeLyoko.fr!
