>What do you wish got picked up?
Yotsuya 13-shiki Shin Sekai Sounan Jikken, new scifi manga comic garden, you can find the first chapter raw at marumaru

>>147267227
No.

>>147267227
maybe

>>147267227
Yes if shitty magazine raws and you know how to not use it like a retard, no otherwise.

Who wants to pick up translation of Hoshino, Me wo Tsubutte?

Some people bothered me about it, and I don't really have the time or energy, but it looked decent enough.

>>147271861
Why? Did previous group drop it?

>>147271861
They asked me too. No idea why, didn't look remotely similar to anything else I do so I can't imagine why they thought I'd enjoy it.

>>147271861
It's an automated message, it's some group of chinks scrolling through random uploaders and their associated group(s) and sending out a message about that series.

>>147271861
They've been bugging pretty much every big group about it.

>>147266286
Do you have guides or learning materials like DJT?

Is there a way to rip from BOOKWALER?

>>147273481
BOOKWALKER*

>>147271861
They asked me in two separate occasions. I follow the manga, but the recent chapters are going in a bad way so I'm waiting it out

>>147271959
And there I was thinking I could be special. ;_;
You sure it's chinks? Their secondary translation is Spanish...

>>147274344
No idea if they actually are Chinese, I merely assumed from the quality of the English in their message.
Doesn't seem like they're only going for big groups either, we got like 2k followers total on Batoto, even less if you consider the overlap between two of our similarly themed series.

Anyone willing to work on Arai Hideki here?
He's the author of The world is mine and Kiichi.

Habanero scans did one volume of his work SCATTER of which has seven volumes already out. Its really good. They've asked for help for doing the rest.

Do you plan to beg in these threads until someone finally agrees, or what?

To the anon here >>147029790, I was already asleep when you posted that, so if there's something you want me to change, please say so here. Doesn't matter if I see it or not, I'll check this thread in the archive later either way. And you're the TL, so of course, I will change whatever you want.

What would a good leading look like? This shit is killing me, it varies too much from font to font.

Another team should put the manga of Kagerou Days into scanlation again.

Roselia Scanlation website says it's on the upcomming releases, but it's been like this for more than a year now.

I was really big fan of this project.

>searching for Japanese TL's via your English releases

Literally why?

My friend wants me to edit: Gommensai's latest tank. https://exhentai.org/g/960332/ef7751a5e8/

I haven't editted in a while, I wanted to do this, even though I honestly hate cleaning.

3 pages in, my wrist injury is getting in the way of me finishing this. I'm a disappointment to lolicons.

>>147278119
How else would you do it? JP TLs don't just read raws, but a few translated series too. No one's in the mood to translate 24/7.

>group dropped new kumeta yasu manga
>they picked up some harem loveshit instead
fuck you

>>147278261
What? Just reading a raw isn't translating, how is it any fucking different to reading in English unless you're some machine translating scrub who shouldn't be translating shit?

>>147278261
I only read translated series when I'm picking up where someone left off. The only reason to go back to scanlations after attaining some level of Japanese fluency is if you're lying to yourself about how fluent you really are.

>>147278416
If you aren't at the least N2, you can't just read them like english literature, because there will always be words/terms/phrases you need to look up and that's bothersome in the long run, so reading translated mango isn't that bad at all. Nowadays even N5tards translate manga.

>>147278470
What series you fucktard

>>147278490
Bakuon, Car Grafitti JK, Kanojo no Carrera - we're not called Te/a/m M/o/e without a reason

>>147278491
If you aren't at least N2 you shouldn't be translating in the first place.

>>147278368
>Nakuru Nee-san has 500 followers
>Hatsukoi Zombie has 5500 followers
Underdog brainwashed them into translating trash for attention.

>>147278507
N3 is more than good enough to translate shounenshit etc.

>>147278507
N5 is good enough to Duwang

>>147278491

Not sure you realize how retarded your post is.

>>147278620
>N2
N3 even.

>>147278620
>everything is translated by N5tards
Never implied that. You should be able to tell if the translation makes any sense in the first place.

>>147278560
fucking Underdog haremshitters

>>147278662
Just because it makes sense it doesn't mean it's accurate. Translators make shit up when they don't understand.

>>147278717
Take the first chapter a group translated from a series. Recheck the TL with the raw once. If it's good, trust them and read their scanlations, so that you can focus you're own time on translating other media for yourself. It's not that hard and saves you a lot of time.

>>147278762
>you can focus you're own time on translating other media for yourself
>you have to translate in order to understand
You're missing the point. See >>147278408
If you're so bad at it that you can't understand a single page without parsing every character then you're no better translator than google.

No thread theme? Let's fix that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpxaiNV_sM

>>147278813
>If you're so bad at it that you can't understand a single page without parsing every character
No one has to do that, but it's completely normal to encounter bubbles you don't understand right away, so you write them out, mark all phrases, check the grammar and then look up the word you didn't understand. You can't tell me no one does that and everyone would be able to just read whatever they consume always without ever having troubles. Sometimes you have to translate a phrase for yourself to find something that equals the concept before you can replace it with japanese one.

Still disappointed only the first chapter of Nanaka 6\17 is translated. Hard enough to find the raw's, though after a bit of digging, I did. It might be too old now, but if someone translated it, I'd be eternally grateful.

>>147278923
Of course everyone does that but it doesn't mean you should translate if you're still at that stage. Reading with a dictionary and a grammar book doesn't make you a translator.

>Sometimes you have to translate a phrase for yourself
No. You understand the phrase, period.

>>147278984
Well beggars can't be choosers

>>147279101
>Of course everyone does that but it doesn't mean you should translate if you're still at that stage. Reading with a dictionary and a grammar book doesn't make you a translator.
Pretty sure it's good enough to translate children's comics.

>No. You understand the phrase, period.
Let's say you are a complete beginner and encounter:
>便所はどこですか
>トイレはどこですか
>手洗いはどこですか
Of course you look up what 便所, トイレ, 手洗い mean in the first place or rather why it's written differently when the intention is clearly the same, are you drunk? As a beginner you'd obviously try to find an english source explaining it and there's no fault in that. You don't look at a Kanji and then you know what it means, that's not how it works.

If you reach a stage that's comparable to N1 you'll probably be able to look shit up in japanese no matter what it is, but before that it's not always the case, especially if it's context bound shit where the jap definiton fucks yo up even more.

>>147279351
>you'd obviously try to find an english source explaining it
It's called a dictionary. You're changing goalposts and talking about words now but you wrote phrases in the previous post and that's what I replied to.

If you can't even look things up in Japanese then you shouldn't be translating. That's the whole point. If you're a beginner you should be spending your time reading instead.

The most glaring error was "didn't thought", I was even called out for that a few times before but it just slips out.
Other lines I just rearranged to make it less wonky (in my engrish-y opinion, that is).
And of course, if you see something off and can correct/improve it, please do.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

>>147280937
It's because you didn't think about it. You didn't put much thought in it.

So I was doing this recently, thinking how amazing the Patch tool is, and wondering how the people in the past did before it existed.
I can only imagine it was much, much harder to get a simple pattern like this without it, especially when it's odd.

>>147281215
I actually did, it's just that "didn't thought" equivalent is normal in my native language so it slips often.

>>147267227
Really depends on paper quality. Poor-quality paper (not limited to magazines, even TPBs can be printed on crappy paper) needs denoising, better-quality paper usually doesn't.

In cases like this one
>https://img5.picload.org/image/rdgppalg/img047.jpg
everyone will tell you not to denoise. You can follow their advice and not denoise, but when you level, it'll look like this:
>https://img5.picload.org/image/rdgppali/img047_01.jpg
Zoom to 100% and look at the black areas. If you're fine with them looking dirty, then leave it at that. Otherwise you still have to denoise.

Now I went and denoised the images before levelling:
>https://img4.picload.org/image/rdgppoai/img047_02.jpg
Zoom to 100% and notice how the black areas are uniform now. Also notice how the screentone patterns are much cleaner now.

So yeah, try both and then decide.

>>147282166
>きゅううう
>Twitch
Learn Japanese first before worrying about cleaning.

>>147282166
It was a joke cara

>>147282221
You forgot to say that when you denoised you killed the detail in the clothes. In the raw and undenoised you can see there's some kind of belt and the clothes look sharp but in yours everything is black and blurry.

So yeah, don't denoise.

>>147282818
Eu sei, mas eu queria chocar o fio de alguma forma.

>>147282941
>you killed the detail in the clothes
Which is, in my opinion, neglectable. Now I'm the kind of autist who likes a clean, smooth image. If the anon who asked is the kind of autist who jerks off to the smallest bit of detail preserved, he can simply disregard my post.

Of course I could have just spend more than 5 seconds time, playing with the settings a bit, but I'm lazy.

>>147283678
It's not clean, it's blurry. Every single thing in that page that isn't a pattern dot is blurry. You're not an autist who likes a clean image, you're just blind.

>>147284047
Blurry? Of course. Every denoiser applies some kind of static blur. That's why you either keep it to the minimum by finding denoise settings that work for you or you try to combat blur by sharpening the image.

Not clean? Now I'M questioning YOUR eyesight.

I just need this one part translated to finish off the chapter.

It works if you know how to work with it. I set action with it on F5 and I can say it saved me hours upon hours I could waste working with clone or even patch. I still use them too of course, but way less than in the past.

Just 2 volumes. Feels refreshing.
Please, check it out.

Would anyone care to proofread this? Twelve short pages. I'm almost certain I've made an error on page 2, likely elsewhere as well.
>>147083300

Trying to decide whether or not to seek a translator I can edit and typeset for instead. That would also speed things up by a lot.

>>147294607
maybe you could ask danceguy if hed do another chapter

>>147294723
He translates? Thought he only does typesetting/redrawing.

>>147295156
Danceguy was always known as TL. I remember when he translated ballroom youkoso. I think that's why he has that name in the first place.

>>147295250
Oh, I had the impression he was the one who tsed it, using the scripts someone dumped on /a/.

The only scanlator I actually follow is Hox.
I notice sometimes that, "oh, Village Idiot is translating this", etc., but I don't pay them any attention outside of that.

Am I supposed to?

>>147299981
>Am I supposed to?
If you see that one group does a lot of series you like, it might be worth following them since you probably have similar tastes and might enjoy new stuff they do. Otherwise, there's no point. It is worth knowing what groups to avoid, though.

Is there anyway to typeset English sentences vertically so that they aren't rendered illegible?

I'll post the page that seems to require it once I'm home

>>147301261
For a full sentence, you'd probably have to use a narrow font and try to fit each word on one line. You could lower the width for each individual word to make them smaller without affecting the rest, if that helps. Or if nothing else will work, just rotate the text 90 degrees.

>>147287367
I do the same too, check messages from everyone every 30 minutes or something like that. It's not like I have anything better to do.

>>147288676
Dope, seems like the releases are really slow so I'm a put that on hold and let it age like a fine wine until I can read it all, but really Arai is such a phenomenal mangaka, really unconventional.

Should I confront them or something? Or maybe report the blog? It bothers me because these retarded scanlators who don't know better are refraining from working on these.

I'm trying to learn how to clean, pic related is my lastest try how am I doing?

>>147303088
Is that a bad thing?

>>147303395
Of course. These manga have scanlators that are willing to work on them, and they aren't doing it because some faggot who owns nothing is telling them not to.

>>147303088
If he's doing it with digital raws there's no way he can prove they're his, besides digital raws are easily obtainable trash anyway

>>147303157
haruka-yumenoato.net

>>147303495
Why are they even listening to him?

>>147304023
When a scanner says no it means no and most people won't disrespect that. He already threw a fit about some scanlators asking for permission too.

>>147303966
It's both. Problem is I can't really prove they aren't his either.

Ayo, is there a native speaker willing to proofread and edit this shit for me? I was deluded enough to think I'd be able to do the whole thing myself, but after two weeks of racking my brain, I'm coming to realize I'm woefully unequipped to deal with the editing process.

I'll be done type-setting it by tomorrow.

>>147304324
Ask him to provide a proof that he owns the physical volumes, a picture of the book or a 600dpi scan with a sheet of paper with his name placed on the page

>>147304629
I'll try that, but he's probably just going to tell me to fuck off.

>>147304944
Btw, if his physical scans have different resolutions, leveling and overall amount of detail etc. between them it's fucking obvious he steals that shit unless he owns several scanners and edits each book randomly after scanning

>>147304324
Just link the scanlators to haruka. If it's the same scans then it won't make a difference.

Ah, thanks.

Here's the page in question, not really a complete sentence but yeah.

>>147282221
To be fair I really like the raw grain. Gives it a more tactile feel in some way. Sure the denoised one looks neater, but it's too clean for my tastes.
Depends on the type of manga and atmosphere, but in this example I much prefer the first one, honestly.

Is this also the hentai manga translation thread? I wish more Tsubaki Jushiro stuff would be translated.

>>147307848
You shouldn't have that in a digital image, though. The author doesn't draw with the intention that there will be grain added, it's a shortcoming of being printed and not something you should want if it's avoidable.

>>147309563
No, this is the "do it yourself" thread.
You either help or ask for help.

I finished translating a doujin, and now I'm typesetting it.
For handwritten parts, does this look okay (I did it with a tablet) or it would be better to use a handwritten font?

Ah, I see. Yeah, it might be best to just keep the Japanese rather than try to redraw all of that

>I stopped trying to fit everything in tiny bubbles
I haven't been doing that thus far, so I'd have to change all the previous pages to keep it consistent, but that might also be best.

>Manager
I was actually wondering about this. The title translates it as "Caretaker", so I've kept it as that so far, but it seems less natural than "Manager".

>>147315849
>but it seems less natural than "Manager".
Not really.

>>147315849
Wait, what, you mean the big letters in the first panel? That's hardly "all of that", I didn't redraw because it'd take longer than a quick erase/type, but please don't do that.

Well, that was a lot easier than I thought still needs lots of polishing of course, and the wings are just embarrassing but still. Maybe I should have stopped being a lazy fuck and just gotten it done with.
