Alright, this is the process on how to translate from TV Asahi's site:

1.) Go to the website of your desired Kamen Rider series (duh!). To do so, type "TV Asahi" and then the name of your desired show (e.g. "TV Asahi Ex-Aid or "TV Asahi Zi-O") onto whatever search browser you use. Usually, the website is the first link that is displayed. Please note that they will take down websites that are older than 4 years. Gaim's website was pulled down last year so Drive's website will be pulled down this year. I expect it to be deleted around March or so, so unless someone put the URL of the website on the Wayback Machine archive, the informaton will be lost forever.

2.) Go to the website's 'Rider' section (it will be writtwen in Japanese, so look for the tab that says "ライダー"). This will lead you to images of Riders. Click on an image of the Rider you want information from. Once you do, you will be led to a page that showcases their various forms. Just click on the form you want information on.

3.) Once you get to your desired form, there will be numbers pointing to various parts of the body or at the bottom of the page. Just click on the numbers and they will give you information in Japanese. The page for that Rider's forms will (usually) also have links to their armaments. Additionally, the official name of the form or armamant is usually put on top of the page (do not use the URL of the website as the official spelling).

4.) Copy and paste the information onto Google Translate. Of course, Google Translate is not 100% accurate with their translation so some sifting will be required, but the information is around 90=95% accurate.

For example, when I translated the Break Gunner's Guard Wingle part, Google Translate's translation for it was literally "Guard parts to protect viral cores (for chaser only) and shift cars loaded in break gunners from intense battle." Slightly grammatically correct, but is pretty dry and dull to read, so I restrucutred the sentence into the current form: "The purple guard piece mounted on top of the Break Gunner. It protects any inserted Viral Cores/Shift Cars during battle." Note: describing the piece to readers will help them determine which part is which on the item.

5.) To determine the correct spelling for the parts of the form/weapon/belt/whatever kind of crazy thing they invented this time, use the romaji Google Translate puts out. Whenever Google Translate translates something from Japanese, the romaji (how to pronounce all the japanese writing as if you were speaking Japanese) is also displayed, The romaji is important on determining how to translate a part's name.

For example, when translating the parts for Kamen Rider Zi-O DecadeArmor's Build Form, Google translated "DCDクイックフロッセイアーム" as "DCD Quick Floatay Arm" instead of "DCD Quick Frothy Arm". However, the romaji displayed was "DCD kuikkufurosseiāmu", which allowed me to deduce the proper translation. If you can't read it out properly, have Google Translate speak it to you by pressing that icon with the megaphone(?) on it. Also, don't worry if you are stumped by your translations. Some of the words used are made up (like the WizarDriver's "Queldas Band"). Also, if you happen to accidentally mistranslate something, someone is bound to fix the mistake sooner or later.

6.) Put your newfound information onto the Kamen Rider Wiki via Source Editor or Visual Editor.

That is how you translate from TV Asahi's website.

As for DecadeArmor Ex-Aid Form, yes I am planning to do that. I'll be honest, I never actually realised that people liked seeing the armor parts, I just did it for fun. By the way, a bit of an interesting trivia tidbit is that all the DecadeArmor's Rider undersuits' parts' names are directly pulled from the main Rider itself with "DCD" attatched at the front. For example, if Build Form has the "DCD Quick Frothy Arm", it's because the actual Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Sparkling Form has the "Quick Forthy Arm" in the same location. Also, because Zi-O's Rider Armors contain material previously used by other Heisei Riders (such as Wizard's "sorcerium" and Fourze's "astorium"), I'm going all out and translating every single part (something I ususally never do for a form) of the Rider Armors, mainly because it's fun to see what kind of fictional substance the producers thought of when writing this information down.

Hope this helps and look forward to seeing DecadeArmor Ex-Aid Armor's design put up soon. Afterall, it's already been 2 years due apparantly!
