A scanlator is someone who takes a manga book or magazine and puts it on the internet, a translator puts it into English and the cleaners/editors put the text in and clean the pages.

A scanlator is someone involved in the the process of taking a scan of a comic and translating and lettering it in a different language.

Shoujo is a demographic(girls)
Shonen: boys
Josei: women
Seinen: men
