I can’t speak for all translators, but I’m personally okay with sharing my raws with other translators and helping them out. Do note though that not everything will be available for free – the series that you really want to translate may not have raws that you can access for free, and you will either be forced to buy it, or translate something else. You may also find them on other sites, though they it may take some more digging. There are plenty of raw novels and manga available on jcafe. Translation comes at the cost of your time to begin with, but in order to obtain the material that you want, you either have to buy it yourself (unless it is publicly available, e.Ĭharlie Brooker's Screen Burn - Charlie Brooker - Free ebook download as ePub (.epub), Text File (.txt) or read book online for free. I’m afraid things will be tougher for you if you don’t want to spend any money on translating. So be prepared for that, and have the mindset to see things through to the end. You might spend hours mulling over a particular phrase. You will get frustrated that you cannot read things, or aren’t able to understand a sentence. Patience and perseverance: You will need patience when learning a language, and also when translating.Each language is different, and it also depends on how much time you can spare each day or week to learning.Īs far as these Asian (and Arabic) languages go, it usually takes 2 to 3 years (assuming time set aside for daily study) to reach an intermediate level (can read manga and novels) because they are so different from English. Learning a language takes time and devotion. If you are interested in becoming a translator, you should be aiming for fluency in one or more of these languages. Most of these are released in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean as their original or licensed translation language.
Language: I’m going to assume that your question refers to fan- translation of light novels and manga.If you’ve got a more specific question, feel free to ask. Okay, your question is really broad…so I’ll give a more general answer.
