Registration Page
Each project contains a Registration Page that lists all known chapters, and marks which translators have claimed portions for their work.
- You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on.
- Registration is on a First Come, First Serve basis.
- Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories.
- Translators may not register for more than one entire volume of chapters simultaneously within each project.
The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.
- If an apparently inactive translator occupies a registration slot that you want, contact them and the Project Supervisor. If he/she does not respond in two weeks and the Project Supervisor does not protest, assume the reservation is expired.
- Note that the Project Supervisors have the authority to override these rules (e.g. the 2 translators per volume rule) in special cases for their projects.
Protocol When Translation of a Complete Chapter is Completed
- Add the text: "
- Completed" next to your name in the Registration Page - Add your update to the Update Log found on the Project Page of every project.
- Add the text: "
Protocol For Incomplete Translations
