Can I use SFX from the official TL for my submission?

[muaz2205]

Currently, I'm going to upload chapter 1 of OMORI (Fan-coloured) to mangadex (once I resolve my suspension due to fucking up by using the official TL) after I've copied and pasted @null_00's text (with permission obviously) onto my coloured version. But, adding null's sfx and removing the official ones is kind of a pain in the ass. Can I just leave the official SFX intact instead to bypass this?

Edit: after rereading it no, what BraveDude said, since it's been treated as raw material.

Rule 1.3.3: Both using the translated script and raw images of an official release as the basis of a scanlation are allowed only if the scanlated release has been re-translated into a different language.

Using the SFX from the official release is not allowed, and this sounds like you've coloured the official release and are retypesetting it; this is also not allowed.

yeah I'm currently in the process of removing all SFX from official release and recolouring the erased spots by layering the Japanese release underneath it. I hope that's allowed? It's so long as there's no trace of the official translation right?

If you're using the official English translation and you remove all the text + SFX as you claim yes, you can use those pages. Just to be sure, you're using the Japanese pages to reduce the amount of redrawing and you'll be using a different translation (the one from the scanlator) for both text and SFX, right?

Yeah, I'm trying not to redo my mistake of uploading the original translation

Please read the rule I quoted; official releases can only be used in uploaded scanlations if the scanlation is in a different language. You're attempting to use the official English release for an English scanlation, which isn't allowed regardless of what you do to it.

Aside from you admitting it in this thread? That's like asking a bank how they detect fraud.

I haven't admitted to posting anything, just what I planned to do. Obviously I'm gonna redo the colours now
