Joshyan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well I haven't quit yet and I don't plan to. Juggling projects and reading Grisaia is part of the fun. I'm doing that too I refer to those who join the team and disappear shortly after that without contact us. We can't switch their position until we confirm that they are quit.

buttcrusader Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Do you guys need some TLC-ing? I'm pretty sure I can help you guys out with that. I just need to read the translated/edited English text, check for grammar issues, and make it sound really natural, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that role is known as QC, TLC is someone that checks the translation to make sure it is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that makes a lot of sense, actually, hahahahaha. If you don't mind me asking, what do editors do? I mean, I wanted to help a project out in some way, but if I'm in way over my head, I guess I'll just go play Grisaia, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editors are there to make sure the translation sounds good in English. They are usually writers as well and do rewrite lines so they are correct. QC are the final check before the scripts are inserted and is in charge of mostly grammar and spelling errors that may be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttcrusader Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Oh, okay. Well, I'll just keep an eye out and see if I can manage to squeeze my way into some translation project or something sometime. I'm guessing it might be kind of futile since I can't read, write, or speak Japanese, though. There's probably a bunch of people like me roaming around.

That's untrue, being proficient in the English language is more than enough to be a QC. Being an editor takes slightly more work and has a certain quality to them. Knowing Japanese is a bonus for an editor but not necessary. You'd be surprised how many projects need help in QCing and editing. Also I don't mean to come across as to discourage you from joining project. Quite the opposite actually, I'm just trying to clarify the positions just so you know for future reference.

Not being able to read JP won't stop you from joining a team. Editors and QCs are always in need on a lot of projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it might be kind of futile since I can't read, write, or speak Japanese, though. There's probably a bunch of people like me roaming around. Honestly, if you have the time, and can pass high school english, there's a place for you in many teams. There's plenty of people who know English running around, but quite frankly, there's not many people who are willing to stick to a project and do the work required for free. Come into #pantsu-vn and I'm sure we can find a place for you if you are willing to put in a couple hours a week. Quality checking and editing doesn't require a PhD in English. Just make things sound natural and correct. That's the meat and bones of our job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
