Hi Iori. So can you read both Chinese and Japanese proficiently enough to translate it into English? And to answer your questions:

1) How the process works is we send you a chapter of a manga, and you translate it.
2) I don't quite get your meaning, what do you mean by that?
3) It's non pay position and voluntary basis.
4) No major specific requirements, just be able to read Chinese or Japanese proficiently and have some English skills in order for translation needs.

If your still looking for editor's I'll take a crack at it I guess. Do you send me a raw through pm or something?

With all do respect you're the last person I'd have for an editor.

Clarification of terms...

We use the word editor more loosely than it's real world definition.

It involves cleaning the raw, proof-reading the text, and being able to properly place the text on the pages to create the final product.

Photoshop/Gimp image manipulation
Good grasp of the English language, grammar & spelling
Eye for layout & atmosphere when it comes to typography (inserting text).

It takes a lot of time and effort... takes me hours when I was working on NHK and even then my work was crap in comparison to the rest of EG.

Not for weak-willed, that is for sure.

Just finished Berserk 297, and I felt like supporting your team.

Chinese --> English

In terms of fluency, I can read Chinese novels, history books, news papers, and philosophical works written in simplified or traditional.

[uncempt]

Hey, if you can read philosophy then you can read just about anything right? That stuff gets pretty hardcore

Hi there, are you interested in translating Watanabe? If so, send me a PM or an email.

[DrPepperPro]

Hello. I've never done editing before but I'm willing to give it a try. I wish I could translate, since it seems to be a more needed skill here.

Hey, thanks for offering to help. But we need experienced editors, unfortunately (I can't spare the time to train or help). I really appreciate your offer though.

Didn't you do your avatar and sig? Sorry for posting in this if it wasn't needed.

[DrPepperPro]

ya but it's low scale work compared to doing a whole chapter of a manga I guess.

And about your wallpaper: I will finish it when I get home in a couple of days. (laptop can't do photoshop too good)

Try getting that up to E.G quality, if you can your more than qualified lol.

[Vehryn]

Wondering if you still need any Chinese <-> English translators.

[uncempt]

Hi vehryn. We always need translators! You should PM Eldo as he's the boss and can set you up with some stuff to work on. Is there anything in particular that you wanted to translate?

[p0ent]

Hello,

I am from Holland, stuying Japanese for a couple of years now, studied lived and worked in Japan too. I can read, write and translate.

I read Berserk when I lived in Japan without much difficulties but I am afraid my English is not on the same level as a native English speaker. I love manga and wouldnt mind to do translations from Japanese to English, but Ill guess you have to have somebody look at the English I translated before putting it online :p..

Anyway, please leave me a message if you guys are interested

Maarten

[miyagiCE]

Hi p0ent, much like uncempt said above, we are almost always in need of a skilled translator. Please send a PM to Eldo and work out the details with him.

[cagdas_aksu]

hi fellaz, I'm cagdas from turkey
I'm dealing with japanese for about 2 years. My japanese level can be considered somewhere between 3kyuu and 2kyuu, and still taking courses. or roughly, intermediate level.
If you're in need of japanese>english translator, i'll give it a try.
If i will be eligible for your requisites, i can do translation for any series. It doesn't matter which one it will be.

good luck on this project.

[Sasaki]

Hi man, i wanna help with edition, you said that need to be experienced, i think i'm a lot, so if Evil-Genius still needing help with editors, can give a hand (especially in Berserk, Zetman XD)

[theoi]

Hey there,

i enjoyed your Angel Heart release, and now i offer you some help if you need some...
while i know nothing about reading japaneese/chineese in original manga i got some skill that you maybee need. i'm pretty experienced in Photoshop. I've been working with the program for last 4 years now... so i think i can help you putting those (translated) typesetting into raw scans... you can contact me anytime...

thanks...

[eclipse]

So you're still looking for someone to edit Angel Heart?
I have no experience whatsoever but I can try. I have no good raw for 17, and I need your previous used fonts details for Kaori's toughts and SFX (I do have Wildwords). Just let me try and see if you like it.

[Ichi-chan]

I want to help you with a 16 volume Zetman. Who can see my work? I've done 178 chapter
