Un*. *Un means yeah in Japanese.

I think you underestimate how good chatgpt and gemini have gotten understanding context. If you load a whole chapter ocr script into chatgpt, you’ll get a translation that’s far better than you’ve described. A lot has happened with MTL and AI/LLMs the past couple of years.

OCR is pretty good now picking up regular Japanese text, and google lens even manage to pick up most handwritten text manga ocr can’t. As for sfx they’re mostly written in katakana, and you can learn that in less than a day.

I haven’t used XDCC in over ten years I think. Used to be my main way of downloading amga and anime for almost ten years, but torrents and reader sites just made it a lot simpler.

If my suspicion is correct that they’re pushing this for Emaqi, then it’s most likely most of the publishers. I think all the big publishers all have invested a lot of money in Orange and Emaqi, and they’ve like I wrote licensed thousands of series.

Yeah, you could like just copy paste the scanlation translation into chatgpt and ask it to rewrite it or something so it’s not recognizable. And put in some zoomer lingo for perfection.

Mostly agree, but they’ll probably make a translation themselves with AI, and then proofread them with scanlations to save money on translators. I doubt they’d want attention from using translations from illegal sources. That’s like using cracked photoshop professionally.

Depends, MTL has come a long way in just a few years. Most of the time you get a fairly decent liberal translation. As long as you have a proofreader proficient in Japanese that can correct a few mistakes and add some trivia like that, you probably won’t notice much if a difference.

Most likely AI/MTL assisted companies like Orange/Emaqi are going to pump out official translations of the thousands of manga they’ve licensed very soon. Honestly I think this might be the death of scanlation as we know it.

You buy it. How hard can it be.

They also live here in Norway, always fun seeing them on the streets.

I think hakuneko works, but there are probably better alternatives. Still use hakuneko myself though, even though it’s bloatware abandonware.

You can delete your uploads yourself. They’re most likely already scraped by most aggregators.

Yeah, I tried looking at the difference between a dmca request and a cease and desist, but my interpretation is that they’re basically the same, just that dmca is faster and well established.

That’s how cease and desist works.

It’s back to #lurk and xdcc again.

There are already several, ichigoreader and cotrans off the top of my head.

I still think most people who work on series that haven’t been struck by the dmca will still upload to mangadex. The releases will still be scraped by the most relevant aggregators most likely.

Sadpanda has complied to take downs and is still alive.
