== Rakudai TL ==

Hello, I'm a TL from http://frozensama.blogspot.com, a group of JP/CN translators. We are having a poll to choose our next project and by the looks of it Rakudai might win. I heard that you weren't planning to translate further due to other work, so I wanted to ask if you are fine with us picking it up from V7. 
We will most likely host it on our own blog if we do pick it up. 
I'll be waiting for your reply. Have a good day!

Hi there. I currently intend to translate volume zero of Rakudai Kishi before volume seven, but at the moment I am busy with other translation work, such as the Rakudai manga. If you would like to join Baka-Tsuki's Rakudai project, you may register the parts you'd like to translate in the project registration page, even if you intend to host it externally, in which case we would post a link from the wiki to your pages. However, a condition on joining Baka-Tsuki's Rakudai project is that I (as project manager) am allowed to conduct quality control on the translated text in order to maintain consistency in terminology and readability across the entire project. This means I will need to be able to edit and even retranslate part of your work as I deem necessary (and I will need to do this frequently), which is easier to do on the wiki. Also, my creative decisions as project manager have to override those of others in case of disagreement, to preserve a singular vision for the project and avoid quality inconsistencies caused by design-by-committee. Naturally, I understand that these conditions are quite unbalanced in my favor and not easily acceptable by others. If you would like to translate Rakudai but not as part of my project, I encourage you to do so and I would be happy to link to them from the project wiki, but the likely consequence is that eventually the project's translation by myself or whoever joins me will reach the parts of the story you've translated, at which time the links to your site will be superseded by the wiki's translation on Baka-Tsuki. Either way, I have no problem with you picking up the Rakudai Kishi series. Best of luck to you. --[[User:KLSymph|KLSymph]] ([[User talk:KLSymph#top|talk]]) 21:05, 27 February 2017 (CET)

I have no problems with that. You are the project manager here so you can do as you wish with it. In this case, we would like to host it on my site while also transferring the chapters over. (Could be done by our team member or you. Either is fine). You may edit/retranslate anything you deem necessary in the chapters we host here. Our main goal is to provide quality translations to fans, so editing it is more than welcome.
Well then, I will notify you of our decision in a few days.

Hey. So, we decided to pick Rakudai in the end. The translator has decided to translate from V7 starting sometime next month. I'll register the chapters on B-T after we actually start working on it.

Good to hear it. Have fun with the translation. --[[User:KLSymph|KLSymph]] ([[User talk:KLSymph#top|talk]]) 20:38, 11 March 2017 (CET)

hey, just to note, we are going to TL rakudai. Its just the translator messing with readers for april. Also, I wanted to ask if you have some sort of glossary for terms (aside from one on B-T page). It would be helpful if you could share it if you do.

Good to hear. As for a glossary, I do not have one written. I kept a glossary during volume one, but on reflection it didn't seem very useful, as normalizing terminology seems easiest during proofreading rather than translating. The best advice I can give is to look at whether I've certain things consistent across in previous volumes. --[[User:KLSymph|KLSymph]] ([[User talk:KLSymph#top|talk]]) 16:08, 31 March 2017 (CEST)

Hey, could you drop by our Discord if possible? The translator wanted to discuss few things with you. [https://discord.gg/010MX5hN3JkxVxnWy Here's the link to my Discord server.]
