What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

Hello,

I'm offering my services as translator for Japanese to English or Japanese to German. German is my native language, but my colloquial English is on a professional level.

I've translated over 100 manga chapters for Ciel Scans over the course of the last year, a collection of which can be found here: https://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=5459

I'm generally open for all genres, except porn and BL.

The amount of commission I charge is negotiable. In general, the more I like the manga I'm translating, the less I will demand.

If you are interested and/or have any further questions, please send me a PM. Thanks!

What can I say... well, good luck. Just do check with mods whether this is allowed. That other thread with paid translations the other day, I remember something saying that the mods have given permission.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but one chapter you've translated tells me enough to assure you your English is not at the professional level.

Whatever the price from Shiratori is, I will do the job for less.

The kind that does price dumping.
Special discount: If you order now, it's the half of Shiratori's price!

Placing an order by yourself? You must be pretty desperate.
Your business plan isn't working as you hoped, huh?
My condolences...

Everyone else is welcomed to place an order, though.
I can guarantee better, faster and cheaper scripts than Shiratori.
Order three, pay two. Only now!!

Do I see a supermarket right now? "Buy one, get one free!" "Buy $50 for a $5 coupon!" "Lowest price guaranteed!" "Today only, special price of $$$!" Lmao. You translate novels? There's plenty of raw jewels out there in raw, don't have time to translate them all myself. Would love a chap or two translated and get it out to public. Of course if I can afford it.

Don't fall for the expensive hype.

I will translate for food and sexual favors. Maybe even accurately. Possibly quickly.

Because you're too greedy to share any food with a starving translator?

Going back on your word, huh? As expected. N/C.

By the way, the thread title doesn't read "Shitty translators, please reply here". Goes for the other guys too.

I think you're missing the point, shiratori, but I'll keep watching for a while in case something else funny happens
