I must admit that's not the most helpful guide I've ever seen.

You have a point, so I have decided to supply a third step. I had meant it to be optional, however I still highly recommend you carry this step out:

3) For the love of god, don't.

I would vote to pin this to the top of the sub-forum.

That's the fourth step for those who asked a more detailed guide. The fifth and final would be "spend years learning target language so you would never dare to use MTL for anything".

I prefer Genki over Tae Kim though. It's far easier to learn from. I think people that recommend Tae Kim actually has never learned from it, just using it as reference. Learning from it is somewhat hard.
Honestly I think that even if you're using MTL, you should learn simple stuff like hiragana, katakana, and some basic Japanese and kanji. It's going to help significantly.

I use neither, even though I have in pdf quite a number of different learning books including those two. But as a matter fact yes, even Typesetters work better if they cover the basics, which means like a month.

Careful, by learning something about the target language and culture, you might accidentally stumble into translating without machine assistance.

Posting a MTL translation tomorrow, Of course, without proofreading, wish me luck.

I upload some Zurikishi work that I translated using MTL combined with a bit of common sense. While it's not perfect, I didn't received any negative feedback about the translation quality. I’ll take that as a win

ps. I'm starting to recognize some kanji characters. It really helps with the translation.
