Baka-Tsuki Translation Community

About Us

Baka-Tsuki (BT) is a fan translation community that hosts translations for light novels in the Wiki format. Founded in 2006 by Thelastguardian (初代 - 2006-2016), Baka-Tsuki has since expanded to become the largest fan-based English light novel agglomerate on the Internet. Apart from physically hosting 252 projects in 29 different languages, Baka-Tsuki aims to promote the popularity of light novels and serve as a hub to connect readers with fan translations of East Asian light novels on the Internet. Baka-Tsuki is not a translation group. Independent translators come to Baka-Tsuki and voluntarily upload their translations to the Wiki for public sharing. Baka-Tsuki does not control what translators choose to translate or how fast they translate. Do not ask when the next chapter will be updated. Read More

4 November 2014 Registration Problems. A feature. Not A bug. You're doing it wrong. Stay Calm & Return to your gulag dormitories As any anonymous user have noticed, there has been a persistent error in the wiki registration process. If you already have an account on the Wiki, you will have no problems registering, however brand new users will be stuck on the first page. Unfortunately, this is not a problem we can solve without the guiding light of our glorious Big Boss & magnificent Founder. Rest assured, since the discovery of this error, we have already dispatched 3 crack elite recon and special forces from people's Baka-Tsuki Oppression Army out into the wildness to find our Dear Leader. Unfortunately, we have never heard from them again. But never fear! We have found 6 loyal and patriotic teenagers who have volunteered to search for the Big Boss, (someone gag that crying ones, its annoying), when they return with the Great Leader, they will be reunited with their love ones, who have been placed into our care in an happy and joyful recreational facilities deep in the Ahou Mountain Range inaccessible to the public for their protection against foreign forces. So, until we can find the 7 dragonballs to summon TLG, please head to our forum and register your grievances if you have also experienced this problem. The Big Boss will be presented this beautiful list as a gift of sacrifices. Your duty to the Motherland is appreciated. Temporary Wiki Registration Onizuka-GTO 09:30, 04 November 2014 (8+GMT) UPDATE : as of 16 November 2014, it seems like TLG was satisfied with the sacrifices and corrected the problem. 12 June 2014 Baka-Tsuki Sidebar Revamp Well, now for a series of controversial changes Currently, I have removed most of the series on the sidebar to avoid overstacking on the 114 main series we have on the wiki. All of the top 30 are based on my personal opinion, and the list may be updated according to the shown popularity of the series For all the remaining series on the sidebar, click on the 'Main Projects' function and search accordingly Note that there are some series in the completed section, series like Oreimo and ToraDora. We also added a random English project function, so any bored soul who has no idea on what to read can click on the random tag under the 'network' tab to randomly choose a series. Keep calm and keep reading. Teh Ping (talk) 22:25, 11 June 2014 (CDT) 28 April 2014 Baka-Tsuki Youtube Channel That's right, we have a Youtube channel!
