Ask me what I'm doing

What are you doing? Don't lie to me you lazy fuck I know you're not doing shit.

How long does it take until you are competent enough to be proficient at Jap language for a scanlation

Translating omakes nothing

Trying to figure out hand written moon runs of a bad scan.

What's Mangamura?

Being comfortable with JLPT N3 stuff is the bare minimum, which takes around 1.5-2 years.

Depends on the manga.
You'll be around N3 level after 1-2 years of college-level courses, which is good enough for most things, although you will be looking up a lot of kanji if you do this.
Additional studying beyond that will make you faster and make translation easier. Translating novels, for instance, still wears me out after a few hours, and I need a break.

>Don't lie to me you lazy fuck I know you're not doing shit.
Shit, how did you know?

Translator looking for an "everything else" to work on Eguchi-kun wa Minagasanai, or "Eguchi-kun doesn't miss a thing"
It's a manga about an elementary school boy with the shittiest super power ever: Being able to notice every little erotic moment that happens in daily life. It's short, simple, sweet and sexy. Basically guaranteed views

Thanks, I’m actually planning to learn Korean only for sniping

A manga reader website in Japanese that just directly uploads its manga to be read online, its basically the exact same as the dozens of blogs that upload Japanese manga to download except that you don't need to download

I haven't kept up in recent weeks with everything but I assume the reign of terror is mangamura being the first place to upload something and placing their watermark on it and every blog just reposting that version rather than using one without the watermark

I'm back to doing manga and am about to have a release ready for the first time since Batoto shut down. What's the new golden standard to ensure the release gets spread as far and wide as possible?

Your own wordpress site.

Madokami

Post it on reddit

Working on a new alternate TL for Bokuben.

Mangadex

Depends on how much Japanese media you're willing to consume honestly. If you read a lot of manga alongside studying you can start translating in as soon as 6 months, but those fucks over on /djt/ who does nothing but brag about their Anki stats all day won't be able to read actual Japanese for a lot longer.

I've got a Weekly Shonen Jump Subscription. How do I rip manga from it for personal archival purposes?

Anyone willing to pick up Tejina-senpai and Musuko ga Kawaikute? Our previous translator said that he didn't want to continue since Batoto shot down and we haven't been able to find a new one, so if anyone is interested you can pick whichever series you choose from those or both if you want, whatever... Or you could also get in touch with us if you want to just translate the chapters, we'll handle the rest.

I love tejina but the licensed is now ahead of scanlations, is there really a point unless they cancel it?

>but the licensed is now ahead of scanlations
Really? I have to check then.

What about Musuko? Not interested? It's a slice of life about a Demon mother who was once feared taking care of her newborn son.

Ops, quoted the wrong reply.

What's my minimum prison sentence for putting raws through waifu2x?

Hey, if it works, it works

I'm willing to go tit for tat if you want, I'm am "everything else" guy and I'm down to help you out, but I have a pet project I've needed a TL for for awhile now. Interested?

Depends on what it is. I only read cute comfy SoL. Anything with actual plot and I'm out

いただきます

rub a dub dub, itadakimasu!

Food! Yippee ki-yay.

Gonna assume these are jokes.

That's only an option if the admins listen to your begging for upload privileges.

They're still working on initial development.

I see that the situation hasn't improved one bit in months. Guess no one wants to take up Batoto's reigns after they were open about how they were getting too flooded by bots.

Mangadex is fine now

Not even close. I just checked half a dozen series that were complete on Batoto and Mangadex has no chapters at all for them. And I don't think any other sites are scraping Mangadex so it seems pretty pointless to post there.

No one bothers uploading old releases cause you can find it in a thousand other sites. But for new releases, everyone's uploading it there first.
As for scraping, I think you're right about that, I heard the staff set up something to block scrapers.

>I heard the staff set up something to block scrapers.
Then it will always be a horrible place to release. The best thing about Batoto was that you just had to release there and it would automatically trickle down to everywhere else. There doesn't seem to be any central source even remotely similar to that anymore and the fragmented community is suffering for it.

Kissmanga is scraping from Mangadex just fine, it just takes a few hours. Everything else then scrape from Kissmanga

>the licensed is now ahead of scanlations
Damn.

is there even a way to stop scrapers

Oops, looks like there was a typo which made the title impossible to Google. The correct title is Eguchi-kun wa Minogasanai or 江口くんは見逃さない

>meguca is a fucking mess with half of it being KissManga duplicates
>Queue not replying to emails requesting uploader privileges to upload or fix anything

RIP. Luckily I found a meguca mirror by another user that isn't a cluttered pile of shit.

I wish every manga had pages like these in the middle of the chapter.

If I want a certain work translated for me and I'm willing to commission it, is there like one place I can go or do I need to somehow message groups randomly until somebody accepts?

For porn then yes, for normal manga, no.

What's the porn one? Or are you talking about the sadpanda fake currency commission roleplay? Cuz I don't have any of that.

Are you the user who wanted Nande koko ni Sensei ga translated by any chance?

Do you think there's a secret place where raws are uploaded for free without bullshit watermarks?

I've found Mega folders with raws for specific series. If there exists a place with a bunch of series I would think it would be known by most people by now.

I mean invite-only communities like private trackers where leaking is forbidden.

How would a private tracker enforce a "leaking is forbidden" rule?

>private trackers

So AB? Nothing stopping anyone from uploading there, aside from it taking a while.

Right here?
Just ask, I doubt anyone who has the magazine/tank you're looking for would mind uploading it.

Ban accounts that finished downloading the leaked stuff?

You'd ban hundreds of accounts that did nothing to get one account. You'd have basically no accounts left on the site if you did that.

>someone leaks the top 100 most downloaded torrents
>site dies

Wow you're stupid.

I see pls do not leak torrents all the time on U2 and they don't get leaked. I don't think their mods would ban leakers anyway so I guess nobody does it out of respect to the uploaders

Wordpress wasn't a joke, it's the best way to be sure your stuff won't get lost if the next big site closes.

Only if you keep your own site running. Wordpress blogs almost always die far faster than aggregation sites. And they're nothing but a place for idiots to try and fail to attention whore while the vast majority of their readers just wait for their stuff to get uploaded to other sites. There's no reason for the obnoxious middle man of blogs to exist at all.

I don't know if one of you works on Keyman, but why does someone take 2 to 4 months to release a chapter of an already completed series?

>b-but I want everyone to see my 10 MB credits as fast as possible!
Just upload on any shitty manga[inserthere] you fuck.

Except when, you know, the popular online reader dies like Batoto. I wonder how long MangaDex will last.

t. butthurt attention whoring bloggers in denial

>want to spread his shitty scanlate on all aggregators as fast as possible
>totally not attention whoring!

You're not very good at baiting. Here's my last (you)

>why does [insert series here] take [insert amount of time here] to release [x amount of chapters]?

>And I don't think any other sites are scraping Mangadex
I upload my releases there and they get scrapped almost right away by kiss and it takes a couple hours at most for them to be in every scrapper site.

>scrapper

It's "scraper" you ESL.

This is probably the right place to ask for translation advice. I don't think the translation I got for the handwritten part in the top left panel here is correct. As far as I can tell it's "親下車", which sounds like a joke about getting off a bus and the double meaning of 親, but how would you express that in English?

why is redrawing so painful
nobody even appreciates what you do
end it all already

> I don't think the translation I got for the handwritten part in the top left panel here is correct.
And where is your translation?

Looks like 親大事 to me.

As a fellow redrawer I appreciate it every time I see its results because I've also seen a lot of lazy CAF.

By "translation I got" I mean that I'm working off another guy's script. He wrote "Parents are important" there

Well, maybe I thought too much about it. That one line was just a little too straight for me to see it as 大.

Why doesn't anyone wanna pick up Deathco?

Sounds to me like you should have believed in your friends instead of trying to second guess their work. Haven't you read enough shounens already to know that? Believe in the power of friendship.

Erasing and redrawing sound effects deserves the firing squad.

What are you gonna do about it?

For every chapter you release with redrawn sound effects, I'll add a watermark to Mangamura releases

Bit of a long shot, but anyone have raws for ブレイブウィッチーズPrequel オラーシャの大地 1?

I'm glad I haven't had to use their raws so far. In my group the translator buys his magazines and for personal projects I was lucky to find good public raws.

Tried to look it up, but I don't seem to find it anywhere.
Gotta buy it. It's pretty cheap anyway.

Thanks, I figured as much.

I hope that's not ironic, because I do the last one.

Have you asked on helma.us?

Not that user but they're actually live translating the web raw over there, which seems to have a higher resolution than the tank anyway. Dunno about the quality of the web raw, though.

Yeah, I already have.
Been translating it on Sup Forums and over there for a bit. Was mostly just looking to see if anyone had scans for the bonus chapter so I wouldn't need to tear up my copy or buy another one.

>why is redrawing so painful
>nobody even appreciates what you do
What's worse is that people only notice your work at all if it sucks. The entire point of redrawing is to make your own work as unnoticeable as possible. Very painful indeed.

I approve of this chart. I'm on level 4. Anyone who reads any decent amount of manga needs to learn kana if they care about untranslatable sound effects.
