Translating is fun. In the words of my Japanese professor, "translating is like an art, you can add your own flavor to it."
I have been looking for one of these types of shops for a while!

By any chance, would you be up for translating doujinshi?

I'm up to try! I mean, if it's not WAY out of my league translating wise I'll do my best.
Hi, nice shop. ^^

Have you done any translations so far? I'm asking because I'm think of starting my own shop for translating Korean, but my Korean is not exactly fluent. You said that you're not a native speaker, so I was wondering if anyone has given you crap over translation details or anything like that. I can read hangul, so that by itself is a big plus, right?

Btw, I admire you for learning Japanese. The written language is so much harder than Korean's.

I've done translations before, but they've all been outside of this shop, and for friends, so they haven't really given me any crap for my translation. But that's why I emphasize up front that it is a rough translation based on my knowledge, and not a perfect easy process. I mean, I'm just trying to express the fact that I'll try my best and over time it will make me better to do all these translations.

And on the last point, I personally find Korean more confusing as a written language. I know it's rather simple with combining the characters to make the sounds, but I'm unable to remember how to put them together. I'm also still learning Japanese written language. Although I know Hiragana and Katakana, I'm still rather novice with my kanji, as I only know about 200. But that's why I study! ^_^

I see, good point. If I start a shop I'll add a disclaimer to that effect.

Yeah, at first getting used to the up to down, left to right format is a little hard, but at some point it just clicks. I like the Korean alphabet because it's short. Much less to memorize. And since it uses vowels and consonants, it's a bit more comparable to English. That's comforting to me. xD

I'm glad to hear that! The doujin I would like translated is quite long(67 pages, but it is 5 stories in 1 book), so I am willing to pay well if you accept it! Here is a link to a downloadable rar file of the whole thing. You can look it over and see if you're up to it. smile (oh and I should warn you, it is yaoi and it does have some dirty scenes, so maybe don't open it when family or friends are around. xD)

You've got yourself some serious yaoi there. XD It looks around my skill level I think. It's a good challenge for me. I'd start tonight, but I have some urgent homework to do because of my procrastinat-y nature. sweatdrop So, I'll try to start on it tomorrow! It might take me a while to translate it all, but I shall do my best!

That's so exciting! Thank you so much!
Haha, I think we are all procrastinators, even just a little! Anyway, take as much time as you need! I don't want you to rush it just on my part! ^^

Well, if anything I'll do it quickly just for my passion for Japanese and me excited for my first official job of this thread. I added a post on the front page of job slots/statuses, and it has the page numbers completed listed. I'll try to update it as I go so you can get a sense of how much longer it will be.

Awesome! Yeah I know how that passion feels; I have it with Swedish! If I had someone ask me to translate anything Swedish, I would be working on it in a heartbeat! =D

Again, thank you so so so much!
