Hi everyone! (◍•ᴗ•◍)/
Whether it's working on a scanlation team for a manga/manhwa chapter, creating a subtitle script for an R18 Otome Drama CD, or just translating a short webcomic for fun, fan translation is a huge part of what keeps our community alive!
Translating audio dramas in particular presents a whole different ballgame compared to manga—dealing with overlapping whispers, binaural sound effects, lack of official Japanese text scripts, and timing subtitles.
For anyone here who has ever translated, edited, typeset, or scripted Japanese content into another language. I'd love to hear about your experience!
