In recruitment, people often ask about sample of your work when willing to apply for translator, but what should it look like ?
a word document with the translation or a translated page.
And also, what kind of software should be needed ?

From the group that I know of that requires some form of proof, they usually give you a few pages to translate, either already in word form or in its original form(Manga/Manhwa). What you're supposed to give them back is just the translated texted. I think that if you're only helping out as a translator, you most likely will only need very basic stuff like something to open picture, word document etc(which are all there if you're using Windows).

If you're joining with a few roles, say translator + typesetter, then you'll need software such as Photoshop to type in the words into a layer of the Photoshop. Thus, I believe that if your sole role is a translator, you should have no problem with software.

Thank you very much for your advice ^^

A sample of your past work as a translator can usually be a link to a script translated for another team before or a link to a few of the releases with your nick under them.

Samples are usually only required of experienced applicants who'd like to skip the standard test, etc.

Being the lazy person that I am, I'm not likely to accept anything long-term though.

(Kyaaa you pervert)
<bam>
(ah....i really didn't want to come)
<step step>

in word document. i denotes page numbers and bracket the sentences that would be in bubble. each translators have slightly different style as to how they present it. but that's how i do it

Thank you for your advices too ^^
Now I have a clearer idea about how to do it.
