== Can I ask for tips for TLing? ==

I've been trying to translate by myself in my free time but i don't know kanji and the pace is like 2 hours per page. Is this pace normal?

Any suggestions on tools or techniques to make this faster without having to learn the language?

Let's just say I bought the LNs then scanned the pages into jpegs.
Right upto now, I've been using http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-ocr to convert the jpg to text,
and if it messes up the convertion, I use http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/ to fix the kanji.
Then I just use google translate. I have a grasp of the grammar so usually I can fix the mistakes.

from what I get from others, it's quite impossible to get a good translation from google translator... - [[User:blewin|blewin]]

I'm working in tandem with Mystrael right now and I'm finding JWPce word editor to be a great tool for translating / transcribing.  http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html Makes looking up Kanji very easy once you know how they are structured.  I'd also suggest using jisho.org when something is missing.  Often times I find that there are words / combinations that JWPce doesn't have.[[User:Catahn|Catahn]] ([[User talk:Catahn|talk]]) 09:18, 9 August 2013 (CDT)

I would also recommend zKanji. Before that I also used JWPce, but ZKanji can even recognize kanjis if you write them (you have to guess the correct stroke order) --[[User:Luyomi|Luyomi]] ([[User talk:Luyomi|talk]]) 04:49, 30 May 2014 (CDT)

If you want to look up kanji you don't know, use jisho.org instead of some handwritten kanji lookups which are mainly worthless, Jisho allows you to search for kanji by selecting parts the kanji consists of (radicals). And if there are words you don't understand you can search for meanings at japanese dictionary sites like kotobank. --[[User:Krytyk|Krytyk]] ([[User talk:Krytyk|talk]]) 09:29, 30 May 2014 (CDT)
