Q: How do you translate?
A: Well, I've
never worked on full translation of light novels before, just reading
some LNs or VNs by using online translators, dictionaries (I use Dr. Jim
Breen's WWWJDIC as well as Ben Bullock's kanji reading interface) and a
software (an old
version of Fujitsu Atlas) and mostly are Fate/ series and Attack on
Titan prequels. I do translate some of the text manually by myself, but
not that much (especially the advanced forms of the kanji). The manual
work are mostly OCR cleaning (since digital
OCR is not that accurate) kanji or kana rewriting in the translator,
grammar and vocabulary fix, and foreign term transliteration (this is
one of the aspects that is said can make a beginner Japanese translator
go prematurely grey, especially if his/her primary language is not
English :D).
Q: Can I make a LN/VN translation request?
A: Sure, but that depends if I can get the Raw version for it or not (you can comment for request) because I don't have good access for those. I cannot accept mangas, though, since I'm not that good at scanlations.
