Request for a Translation

  • I’m willing to work with a deadline. Let me know how long I have so I can decide whether to take on your project.
  • You can begin by sending me 2 pages from your doujinshi, which I’ll translate as a preview for you. You get to see what my translation style is like before going ahead with the project and sending me more. The pages will also help me gauge whether your scans are clear enough for me to read.
  • If you’re satisfied with my translation of the 2 preview pages you sent me, please make the payment in full before I start work on the rest of the pages.
  • If you’re interested in using my translation service, send an email containing the title and series of the doujinshi you want translated, high quality scans/pictures of 2 pages from your doujinshi, and your deadline to the following email address:

I will reply you within 1 – 3 days. If you did not get my reply, it may be in your spam folder. Please check it! Thanks for your interest!

Rates

For customers who bought your doujinshi through my shopping service, it’s 2 USD per page, or 20 USD per book, whichever costs more. Otherwise, it’s 3 USD per page, or 30 USD per book, whichever costs more.

You will not be charged for pages with just sound effects or minimal dialogue.

Terms & Conditions

  • I translate everything including sound effects and action words, and also free talk (If the Free Talk is quite long, I may charge more for that particular section).
  • I will consider translating fanfics. The rates will be different.

  • I’m open to all sorts of series, genres and content. However, child porn and animal abuse are hard nos.

  • For series that I’m unfamiliar with, I’ll do a little research on the story background. But don’t expect me to be spot-on with English fan translations of things like nicknames, names of skills, accents, catchphrases etc. Some of this can be quite subjective and frankly speaking, non-official if based on scanlations of the series. Nonetheless I’m sure you can fix them yourself easily.

  • I reserve the right to reject your request at my discretion.

  • I only translate, I won’t typeset. I’ve done translations for typesetters with zero Chinese knowledge with no problems, so I’m sure you will be able to understand what goes where.

  • Please send me large, clear, clean scans. I will accept photographs of pages, but they have to be easy to read.

  • I won’t redistribute your scans.

  • You may use my translations for scanlations.

  • My translations are not for commercial use. If I find that you are selling scanlations made from my translations, I will ban you from my shopping service and translation service.
