• Translated 59 pages in like 3-4 hours, the story was quite simple and there were like 4 pages of 0 dialogue, only a few skill names I have to triple check.
    Is the word "pilot" acceptable for someone controlling a golem on the inside in medieval fantasy setting

    I'm translating a manga, the golem are controlled by scientifically crafted tablets and medals by dwarves so a more realistic term is preferred, it is not implied that the golem could only be use by 1 person so idk if master works, I'll try handler and talk with my proofreader

    My proofreader said if I ask something that stupid again he would personally arrange a therapist for me after he done shoving his foot up my ass.
    I might try taking on translation solo, is typesetting hard?

    not difficult to do the basics, but you need at least some sense if you want it to look extra good. just 1 solid font throughout the entire thing will work. optional but will make your stuff look better: changing font sizes, a bunch of nice looking fonts, weird text transform stuff, creating your own fonts.

    Good ol' photoshop. Just pirate it. Fonts I use https://www.dafont.com/vanessa-bays.d4324. Give https://forums.mangadex.org/threads/easy-scanlation-guide.1170618/ a good read.

    Centered text + a decent font like CCVictorySpeech will suffice for the majority of people with some standards (so no MTL Comic Sans brainless zombies), and it's super fast + simple to do. For your first solo full stack attempt, I say don't bother too much with TS, just do the basic stuff. You will probably get burnt out by the time you finish RD anyway lol.

    I remember reading a manga where the MC is gonna inherit his father fortune so his father gave him like 20 girls to choose from, but the plot twist is there is an imposter that ruined his childhood or something? Anyone got any clue?

    I remember specifically a canoe session...? And two of the first girls that gets eliminated are related to each other or sumthin
    As a translator who picked up works, it aches my heart when readers hated the story cus the old translator was careless, MTL, etc.

    Honestly? Couldn't blame them, I do not understand a single plot point of Ghoul ga Sekai at all, just the corn were comprehensible.
