Someone willing to help out with LOT of time.

[narshe_delvar]

Hello, world of Baka Suki! My name is narshe delvar, but you can call me Narshe, Dizzy, or Miko. =) I had been trying to get myself motivated by getting into things that I've been needing to for quite a while now, and I figured helping with work on Spice and Wold (since I love the setting, story, and characters) would be a good re-start.

I'm not good at translating, but I've been in need of learning to read and write Japanese for QUITE some time now, and figured this'd be a good chance. Albeit, if some of the books are from the Chinese derivatives, I'll be next to useless as a translator. =( But what I'm MAINLY here for, is to be a QC/Editor for all the writing. I've had experience before on an actual project before, so I know a few of the procedures. But that was years ago, so I may be out of it, tho my skills at proofreading are still very much there.

I couldn't really think of much else to do since the Ookami to Koushinryou board doesn't seem to be too active atm. >.< Which is understandable considering the time atm. I just wanna contribute to the community, while bettering myself in the process.

Please?? =3

The use of Chinese(yes, that includes me), are actually on the less preferred side... (YES!! I AM UNWANTED!!), as far as possible, we do try to keep to the Japanese text, but there is a severe lack of Japanese->English translators. So should you work on a project that is from a Chinese derivative, you can just throw stuff at the pitiful translator and he can do nothing but cry in a corner(Yes, that is what i do, i draw circles at dark corners...) So you are actually more wanted than anything else on B-T. S&W is relatively active, and it will probably get a speed up especially since the holidays is round the corner, the jolly mood will perk most up for a festival of giving(out translations). Should you need any help and clarification, do tell, we are free to help(WHEN we are free).

And shadow's never free because he's reading random light novels about boys and girls who take over the world!

[dragonst]

Right! How could I ever forget the intranslatable chanting and bento boxes that you get yourself caught in o_O

[ShadowZeroHeart]

o-bento was quite cool... i enjoyed that... with plenty others... and damn, they are piling up, as i cant spare much time to read with exams coming and all...

Hi,

I am a beginner translator who is fluent in english and chinese ( writing / speaking )
Love light novels. Japanese language wise.... still learning and trying hard to understand.
I would like to contribute by translating in projects..

Could anyone help me out?

Well for starters you should decide on a series to translate (we have a lot of projects that lack translators). Just introduce yourself in that project's forum and start translating

Oh, and welcome to B-T, we hope you last longer than the previous 'new' translator o_O

[Darklor]

Or you could also start a new project if you like to translate other novels or series which we lack if you follow the Guildlines (and I am always willing to add new teaser projects, too. )

Translations are to be posted on the site itself, not on the forums...

If possible, do register yourself, so that credit can be given for your tremendous efforts towards the project.

First of all, hello and welcome to Baka-Tsuki! It's always nice to see some new faces joining in the effort.

Narshe: As you've offered to be an editor, why not begin by smoothing out what's been done for Vol. 5 so far, particularly the second chapter. I haven't looked through it in detail, but I did notice quite a number of mistakes with grammar/tense usage the last time I checked. Especially because I'm probably going to end up taking up what the translators previously working on that volume didn't finish, it would be nice to have something clean to continue from. If you see something that you can't make sense out of though, just leave it, because from what I know, the translator who was working on chapter 2 was working from a pretty poor source. Anything else you can contribute in terms of editing is welcome as well, particularly to the first few volumes, which will be the first to be locked to editing with the official English releases.

CheR: Just pick a chapter, register, and begin. Any volume besides the second is fine (barbsicle and I have that one covered:P). If you have any questions about how to do something, just post them here and we'll get back to you. I'm assuming you already have a source for the Chinese text? If you don't, you can Google a site called Sky-fire.

Have fun, and your help is greatly appreciated.

As for myself, well, it's that time of year again (meaning midterms), so I've placed translations temporarily on hold, although I will be done with exams on Friday, and should be back to my regular pace shortly after that.

First post in a long.....long.....long time.

Just wanted to say (for those who may remember my original calling at B-T) that I'm currently reading the japanese version of Volume 6 of Spice and Wolf. Well...I say reading, but more like plodding along frustrated with the still rather large gap in my Kanji reading skills, though I know over a thousand at the moment I'm sure..../sigh.

What this means is I'm getting closer and closer to translating this novel. Soon...so very soon I can taste it...

Go Go Judge, good luck on the exams, and thanks for the translations! (It's got to feel good to see your name plastered all over the registration pages, lol...

[judgment26]

(It's got to feel good to see your name plastered all over the registration pages, lol...

It's also kinda lonely...I would rather there be more names on there, and not just names either, but people who are ACTUALLY working, bah!

Anyway, it's good to see you back, seag, and I saw your post over at BE.
