Note: these translations try to stay as close to the original text as possible. However, due to different cultural assumptions, some translated material may sound odd. For example, the only canines kept within a san faran community are domestically-raised wolves. But wolves being what they are, they are used mainly as guard animals, and no one, especially not children, would play with them the way canines are depicted in the original text. Also, some items such as hats and caps are foreign to Fara, and so are substituted with the closest Faran equivalents. The translator did not attempt to revise the text to make it more culturally-appropriate.
