Manga Poll
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

I've read manga for years now and I've thought about helping in scanlations as well, but I never took the initiative to do so. But now, inspired by the current poll, I am stepping up and would like to give back to the community!

I have Photoshop, so I can work as a editor, cleaner, and/or typesetter, but I have no experience at all, not even any Photoshop experience. I am a complete newbie cry

A few other things:
- I prefer shoujo, josei, shounen ai, and yaoi.
- I do not want these genres: shoujo ai, yuri, hentai, ecchi.
- I might or might not be busy; it varies a lot. School is hard.
- I have no experience, so I need training!

PM me if you have any questions or if you would like to recruit me! Cheers biggrin

Hey nice to meet ya.

I'd like to ask. Are you better as an editor/cleaner/typesetter?

Been looking for someone who can be a typesetter. Although my stuff's typically shonen/seinen stuff.

Hi,

I am not picky ( if you look at volume 4and I was working on Zig*Zag, but have not released anything in a long time.
I have the raws (need to look for them), but I don't have a computer to work on it and typesetting/ cleaning makes my wrist hurt.

If you're interested in working in it, you can message me and I'll look through my files for the raws.
By the way, the series is 9 volumes in total, 7 have been released

I'm not exactly sure, if I had a better idea of what the jobs were, I would be able to pick. I am assuming typesetting is just erasing the Japanese and replacing it with English, so I feel like I would be better as a typesetter.
