Yes, that's when editing happens, some translator have internal editor(s) where they edit before putting on the wiki for public editing, others like me, just puts it on the wiki directly for editing.
If you're going to make major changes inform the translator of the chapter first

I'm willing to do some proofreading if it's needed/wanted. Just send me .PDF files of things you want to be looked over and I'll go over it. I'm an incredibly fast reader in english, something like an average of 100 pages in 45 minutes.

You didn't have to blank it, there's a move option, anyway I've placed the proper links, just click them and paste it in.
The link should include the series' name to prevent someone from mistakening it as spam and deleting it.
Edit: ok, move and etc, it was quite hard on my phone :/

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Is it really okay for me to post it up there, though? I haven't exactly received the OK from the people who're in charge of the project... that's why I blanked it out...

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Um.. Hello, I'd like to help out but Im not sure if the pace I work at, or my skill level is right. My Japanese is self-taught, and despite being my first language, English is my worst subject.
I went ahead and tried 5 pages but it took quite some time to do, and consisted of constant use of rikai-chan, the dictionary and thesaurus. If my accuracy and speed is alright I'd like work on it some more.
The grammar is probably all over the place and it might be better to check it sentence by sentence with the original. Hopefully I didnt pick one someone was working on. DDYD vol 10 prologue

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Hello, gyoku! Welcome! DDYD is always in need of translators. Well, it's probably not my place to say this- larethian is the one who is in charge and all, but still... You're welcome to seek me for help if you need someone to help you proof-read your chapters. Then again, you're welcome to seek the other editors of DYD and DDYD, as well as the translators for help. No, no one is working on vol 10, as of yet. But we do have some readers requesting us to translate chronologically instead of jumping all over the place. You can go ahead with the prologue, though.gyoku wrote:Um.. Hello, I'd like to help out but Im not sure if the pace I work at, or my skill level is right.

Well, with practice, I'm sure your skills in translating will improve. You don't have to worry about your pace, everyone has to deal with real life, so it's not unexpected that we take some time to update.

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Thank you, Akirina~ I take it that means i can put it up... right? I went ahead and registered the prologue as complete too, but I would like it to be approved first cause its my first time doing something like this. I also translated the title differently and I'm not sure which one I should change. If my translation is alright I can register for an earlier volume or continue vol 10.

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Yes. I took a look at it and edited some of it. Alright, you're set Hm, I would change my title to match the one on wiki. I don't translate the title, but I copy it instead, since it's how the others translated it. If it's alright, can you help out with volume 5 as well? I can finish up volume 4, hopefully by this week. I think it'd be better if we finish up the earlier volumes before heading on to the later volumes.

Re: Denyuuden / Itsuten Recruitment Page
Hm, I usually translate after I come back from school or studying, so from 7 to 11. I'll use Microsoft Word and type my translated version in. Then I'll double check the terminologies and a few grammatical errors before I post it up. I usually listen to music when I translate- mostly the opening themes of DYD... mainly because it helps me to focus since I wouldn't be distracted by the lyrics, them being in a different language. Then again, it reminds me to be on taskgyoku wrote:Ok! I guess I'll go ahead and register for 2 chapters of vol 5 for now and see how Ill do. If you dont mind me asking, how do you usually translate?
