i'm simply looking for someone with free time to translate my manga pages from english to fluent japanese regularly for pages to be published on pixivthe position of also being an editor and translater at the same time is open. but i'm mainly seeking a good translater as my priority.if you have any questions please ask
post your work
>>3807262Don't forget to fucking pay them.
>>3807268i'm not beg tier but i'm not super pro tier. i still have a lot to learn but i'm not ground zero level
>>3807262What’s the pay?
>>3807262why are you asking for help with translation from an art focused board?
>>3807274get duolingo on ur phone lazy bitch
>>3807289to be honest i'm not really sure yet, it's something that i think will need to be discussed and negotiated >>3807291where should i go instead?
>>3807295I’m actually really excited to see this work out for you. Maybe you could post an ad on an actual job website? If it gets translated you could be one of the first /ic/ anons to make it
>>3807297thanks anon the plan is to go make the manga under a pen name, i don't want my identity to be important and i just want people to focus on my work and not me so i can make it. i'll look into the job websites
>>3807274post your finished work. Presentation is everything if you're seeking to market yourself.Also, how's your writing?
>>3807309i don't usually make a lot of finished work just doodles and sketches and studies. but i want to change that with this mangain terms of writing skill i can't really tell i have never written much stories outside my own head, i usually have story ideas pop into my head but i never know what to do fully with them.
>>3807262I'll do it for $3/pagePost your pixiv profile or something
>>3807315that does not sound like a bad price to me.here is my pixiv that i use but i think i will change my pen name to something cooler later:https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=35224180
>>3807314Ok, since you have never finished much work outside of doodles, and have zero experience in storytelling, I highly recommend you enter manga contests to build exp before you invest any money in getting it translated. Manga is not easy, and it takes a LOT more than just good doodles to captivate a reader. Even beyond writing and art, things like page layout, panel flow, visual storytelling, and composition all come into play and must be mastered.
>>3807262If you enter competitions and win they'll translate the manga for you. You don't have to worry about Japanese or even learning Japanese if your manga is good.
>>3807326true i see where you are coming from but i'm wanting to really take a leap of faith with this. no better time to start making than the present, the only way the masters became masters was by just starting. >>3807329is that so, do you know where i can get info on contests? i'm going to learn japanese eventually but i don't want to wait to create
>>3807331>do you know where i can get info on contestshttps://medibang.com/contest/kyoto-manga2018/entry/
>>3807331I too am making my first manga while lurking this thread. Let’s work hard OP!
>>3807335this contest ended>>3807372i believe in you, it might seem daunting but you have got this give it everything you got my friend! go beyond what you think you are capable of.
>>3807262I want to help you, anonBut i can't even write english properly
>>3807400thanks i appreciate the thought
I dont think you should be concerned with that at this point, make a good story in english and when it takes off you'll see dozens of opportunities for translation. It's not like nips can't read english either
>>3807409you make a good point maybe i should just post whatever i make to pixiv in english then
>>3807295>>3807299>>>/int/ or something
>>3807262You need a native Japanese speaker who learned English, not a English speaker who learned Japanese.

>>3807262I hate when people do this, they study and set up every social media page possible, do lots of "research", bother other people with work related to the thing they are definitely going to do hoping somehow they will make the project happen, but never actually put in work on the actual product. It's the most annoying form of procrastination, when you trick yourself into thinking you're working on something by doing "adjacent" work.I don't want to be too harsh because you're most likely a teenager who just read bakuman, but draw something before you bother with everything else.
