I can do pretty much "everything" needed to scanlate a manga chapter.

It would seem translators are needed now so dump me a chapter to translate for testing? :3

I'm an artist and I can use photoshop well, if you need cleaning and editing I'm up for those too.

Lulz, totally sent you a PM with crap already.

For everyone else who's going to look at this and be like, WHAT DID SHE SEND HIM:

Raws for Giant Killing 28 and Psycho Busters 22. Also asked if he'd be interested in working on Skip Beat!, and I really want to pick up Harlem Beat if he's interested. ;_______; Basically, just gave him links and told him to pick what he liked. XD

But apparently there's Hen~shin? Dunno - Loki, will you tell him about it, if necessary.

Um, think that's it? Like I said, you'll be a godsend, if we dont' scare you away. ^^;;

I'm strong... quite... with erratic working schedules if you don't mind those... ^^ (I might dump on you 5 chapters in one go if I felt like it XD then laze for a while)

Most of the stuff are halfway projects so I'll have to read the rest before I can probably start. Giant killing seems doable...
And question, are the typesetters at least slightly proficient in japanese? If they aren't, I might just send them a psd file with the text just plonked on top of the bubbles. so that it's easier on them.

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Thu Feb 10, 2011 11:04 pm

Well, the typesetters in the group currently consist of me, bajuwa, and Loki. XD EDIT: And no, none of us know Japanese. Well, baj knows Chinese. Does that count? XD

I'm not sure how you've done it before, but usually we get the raws, the cleaners clean it, the translators posts the trans, the proofreader proofs it, the typesetter types it, then the QCer looks it over. Sometimes those jobs are done by more than one person, sometimes it's a two person thing.

So basically, if you want to, you can just type up a trans and post it here. We'll get abcd (who's our translator who double checks things) to look it over and if he says you're good to go, we go. XD

If you want to clean, that's cool too. Kiba would be to guy to talk to about that. (: And if you want to typeset, that would be my area of expertise (as well as proofreading).

Itaaaa, you forgot about ume, inu, and I! Sad

lol...jk. im really glad to (hopefully) have someone like dogmaniac with us. Thanks dude! ^^

Whaaaat, how did I forget you? You don't TS. @_@

Ah, I see. then I'll work on the Giant Killing soon. (Looks like the easiest for now...)

And I've just finished scanlating wildlife chapter 59 solo. Shall I post it here? XD

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Thu Feb 10, 2011 11:28 pm

What the hell, why not. XD It'll give us a chance to see what your work's like. (:

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Thu Feb 10, 2011 11:33 pm

tsk tsk, it's "forgot about ume, inu, and me"

~~And you haven't translated yet? You have the translator status though XD~~ EDIT: well I just made a fool of myself

I'm willing to check translations too, just a heads up.

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 2:10 am

You will translate Giant Killing ? ^^

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:27 am

Yep, working on it, But probably need someone who's read the rest of the series to check for errors... I'm translating without prior reading. But I think I can manage it...

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:47 am

I need the chapter 22 to translate it in frensh ! ^^

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:54 am

dogmaniac - i will read again giant killing it was a long time ago when i read it so i've forgotten most things , but thanks for picking it up

also he~nshin is a project where bajuwa will translate so dont worry about it

psycho busters is pending for now , cuz we might have another person doing it , so go with GK for now

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:23 pm

Alright. full translation of GK should pop up here within a few days, I've started on the first few pages.

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:00 pm

Giant Killing chapter 22 translation!!

Spoiler:

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:27 pm

just a tip for next time : put the translation in spoilers, makes it easier on the viewers that dont need to read it Wink

aaaaand i don't know japanese well enough, so wait on others to critic it x)
good luck tho~

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:38 pm

~~Ah, okay. spoilers is under...?~~

never mind got it. Smile

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Fri Feb 11, 2011 11:55 pm

Great ! Can I use your translation now ?

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:00 am

Krishnat wrote:: Great ! Can I use your translation now ?

Yes, of course. But if you can check through it beforehand it'll be better since I'm not that confident I got everything right either (Since I didn't read the previous chapters.) If you're a GK reader I think you're good to go. I was hoping to get someone else to proof read it first though (again, I have no idea what happened in the previous chapters...) But I noted those bits I'm not so sure with.

But please use it you want to. Smile

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Sat Feb 12, 2011 2:23 am

I did a really quick run through for you.

Thx. Knew that lot's of stuff were kinda off... (Probably the side effect of trying to translate without knowing the jargon or the previous story)

Edited version with the help of umeboshi110

Spoiler:

Probably needs one more person to clarify the troublesome bits... =_= Someone's who's not a complete noob at soccer games and jargons... ^^;; like me...

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:16 am

well just to clarify chapter 22 isnt needed to be translated at all , since its already out

but just for the point of not wasting your time with it lets assume it was your test

Subject: Re: jack of all trades for hire! :D Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:37 am

Ah, right.

Well, if anything else needs translation well... Just PM me?

Where do translators usually go on the forum anyway?
