Noobie here--I am pretty new to this thing but I have a great passion for doing this (hopefully a long lasting passion) so I hope there will be some kind soul out there willing to teach and help me. I believe I will learn and catch up fast but I need a teacher to start the ball rolling. I have free time for these coming months so I hope there will be a reply soon and some kind soul will teach me, so that I can start translating soon? Cheers~ Kanziel~

Well, Campione has no real shortage of translators and is already more than halfway, maybe close to three quarters translated. But I would advise you against picking that as your first project due to the difficulty and skill needed, so maybe you could consider an easier light novel? Take a look around and see what other light novels there are that catch your eye (translate something you like, otherwise it won't be very fun), get used to doing translating first before trying something that difficult. - Florza (talk) 09:26, 1 October 2012 (CDT)

I knew that Campione has no shortage of translator, hence I would be happy to translate any light novels--Just to get more experience. However I am new so I hope someone would teach me step by step for my first translation (the formats or the source, etc) before I do my translation by myself in the future. Cheers~ Kanziel~

For the formats, you should approach the main translator or supervisor of the project. But, if you're looking for a mentor to show you the ropes first, you could try posting in the Baka-Tsuki forums. Florza (talk) 09:46, 1 October 2012 (CDT)

Thanks. Appreciate your help. But I failed to register a account yet so it would be the best if anyone here would show me the ropes first. I really appreciate the help anyway. Cheers~ Kanziel~

Kira here~~

Hi there, it's Kira. Nice to meet ya, and hope you'll have fun with translation.

First, what do you need as help? I have limited skills in Chinese and am trilingual in the sense that I'm mediocre in all three languages I know lol, but I wish to help you the best I can.

You should also start to sign your messages on talk pages with ~ ~ ~ ~ (without the spaces between). That way I know better who's posting. xD

If you have any question, just send them to me. For now, how about trying yo translate a series you like that has a chapter unregistered? Go ahead, test the ground and don't translate too much word-to-word and make the flow as great as possible while retaining the author's intention.

You can contact me via private message on the forums as soon as you get 10 posts or more, or you can contact me on #campione at Rizon.net/chat if you want. That way, we can talk more dynamically. XD Kira (Talk) 19:52, 1 October 2012 (CDT)
