So, I have no time to check all of the translations for accuracy and English correctness anymore...so I'm gonna open a new position!

I need one or two Japanese proofreaders, and yes there will be a test. And as a requirement, proofreaders must know both Japanese and English.

What will a proofreader do? A proofreader will look at the script, be it translated from Japanese, Chinese, or whatever language, and check the script over to the Japanese pages for accuracy and for correct English grammar. A proofreader will also be on a deadline system, with the deadline being 1~2 weeks after the chapter is given to you.

Simple? Yes? No? Too bad! Any questions just post. The test will be fixing up a script that I will give you. I think we'll only need a few proofreaders, so apply soon.

Email me at j00lz.style at gmail dot com for the test! Or post here and I'll email it to you. *WIPE

Hello, I see no one has posted yet. Umm, I emailed already but you haven't replied. Haha, so I'm interested in applying for the post.. *GLINT
Haha, English is my second language but don't worry, i'm used to speaking it since it's our school's medium of teaching. And I recently took up Japanese as my foreign language elective. And I got a B+! *OMG I couldn't make it to A haha, tough sensei.

Well, enough blabbing on my part. So anyway, I'll be waiting for the test.
Doumo arigato gozaimasu!

*EDIT

my email btw is ashechan at yahoo dot com

Yeah I got it. Sorry, we were debating whether we should send you a few pages or a whole chapter. *POINT I'll choose a few pages soon.

Okay thanks, I'll be waiting! *EYES

What are the benefits given to those who help? Are there any?

Not that I could be any help. I am a star English student, but I know zero Japanese.

So yeah, just curiosity on my part.

benefits...faster releases? get the chapters before anyone else does? a nice feeling when everyone is thanking you? ^^

....and your name appears in the Credits page! *XD

Most people help because they want to help and not because they want some benefits? I think that if someone is looking for perks in nonprofit scanslating, they might be in the wrong place...
kind of harsh but that's just what i think *CHOMP

Hey, hey, hey. Sorry if I've offended anyone. I was just curious. Nothing but curiosity...

I'm not looking for benefits or anything. Sorry again! The way I wrote that was pretty grubely. *DROP

Anyone who has the ability to help and does so is a flippin' god in my eyes. I would help just for the fun of it and faster updates, but unfortunately I am computer retarded. No joke.

So yeppers, peppers. That's about it. And everyone who participates in scanlating is... a HERO!!!! *LOVE

Hello.

I probably will be able to be a proof-reader too but I might not have enough time to do lots but I'll try my best *YAY

I will email you (Cheebs) tomorrow because it is getting late here.

Cheers!

I just wanted to make sure that you still needed Japanese Proofreaders before I e-mailed you. >>

I do Japanese Proofreading for another site too, so I've already had experience in the field (They have a large staff, though, so I haven't gotten any work lately. >>).

I had three years of Japanese in high school, and am planning on taking it up again next quarter (I couldn't take it this quarter. T.T). (I just graduated, so high school wasn't that long ago).

I'm not sure how fluent you want your proofreaders to be in Japanese, though. I can read all hiragana and katakana, but I can't really do much with kanji. If there's furigana, I should be fine.

At the other scan group, they mostly just have me translate SFX, translate anything that was missed, reword odd sentences, and fix grammar/spelling.

If you want me, just let me know! :) (I know I have to take a test. >>)

Yeah, we're still looking. Please email me for the test :P

Hi^^ I'm Yuuki and i'm new here..i would like to apply as a proofreader..is that ok?^^ (i'll take the test!^^) but how? o.O *?? um..i've studied japanese for a few months now and im gonna have to take the test next week!

chuwari here!

i'd like to apply and take the test too!

*EYES

i took the test and sent my edited version of the file to cheebs ( j00lz.style@gmail.com, if i'm not mistaken).

i think it's been almost a day since i sent it. i'm excited and nervous at the same time about what will happen. hahaha.

*?? *ROLL

Okay...Ummm I would like to try :]
email me at Sana0302@aol.com

No you email me lol

And sorry I'm busy on vacation I'll get to it soon @@

*ROLL Um. I have always wanted to be a proofreader in the net. We have Japanese classes at school, I can't speak, but I can understand some. Probably most that I have forgotten now.

It's been 6 years since I can speak, but I have to let you know that I don't write Japanese calligraphy or understand it.

I am an editor-in-chief at my school and I write for our newspaper since I was in fifth grade.

I am very fluent in English. I can assure you and that I am also an emcee at some point.

I want to proofread mangas and it would be really nice to have an experience with it and meet new friends. *HI

Hii. I'd like to apply....
I know Japanese (I'm not so great in SFX) but everything else I'm good at.

Ahh so when/where do i take/download the test?

[edit]
Ah well I e-mailed you.

Uwwa~ This seems exciting.
Even though I'm the kind of person who jumps headfirst into things, I kind of want to ask what the test would be like.

*SHOCK

It is now I remember...I speak Japanese...I don't read it. * sigh *
*DROP

I'd like to apply :)
I can speak, read, write in Japanese and English fluently (I was born in Japan and moved to America 6 years ago)

hi there, I'd like to apply and maybe take the test. If you get this, please send it to lalaleah99@gmail.com :) thanks!

I'm exremely fluent in english (born in america yey!) and would simply like to help in any way I can! (such as making sure all the grammar in english is correct etc.) *GEEK also, I'd like to try and make it sound a bit more english speaker-friendly, if that makes sense.

I can read and write hiragana and katakana, I understand SFX and SOME Japanese. I may not be good because I'm self-taught though.. *WALL
anyway, hopefully I can help! ^_^

Hi *HI I'll be waiting for the reply *EYES

Hehe Tnx.

More Power! To You Guys!


*NOOO *RUN =P

Too Much Tests and Assignments *FALL I need a miracle @@ I'm Going to Die *LIE
I have 100% stress in me hehe *STRESS I might as well shall turn myself into someoe else! *GEEK
I'm Going Crazy *SANDAL *POINT Someone Help Me!!!!!!!! *OMG

Uhhh can you please not spam this thread *WIPE

im so useless!!!! i could only spellcheck...sniff... *RUN

Sorry If I was Spamming *DROP I was bored -.-" *FALL

Well that's what the can of spam is for...lol

*HI Um..Hello, do you guys still need proof readers?
I was just reading the latest release of Strobe Edge in raw and managed to understand about 80% of it..so I would like to take the test and see if I can qualify.
But if this is only for someone who's a bit more fluent in Japanese - I understand ;^^ no harms done *BYE

Email me then and I'll send you the test.

Me too, I would like to apply for the proofreader test - but my Japanese is rather limited...but I'm ok with Chinese-English proofreading. :)

I'd like to apply if you still need proofreaders *HI

You can read Japanese right? lol If so, email me like it says in the first post *XD

Hi, I'd like to apply.
I used to live in Japan, so I know how to read everything, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to understand everything.
I've had some experience as a PR, so... *??
I'm mostly doing this for Ageha, because my friend really wants to read the next chapter...
I'll email you as well. But fyi, my email is musicisrawesome (at) gmail (dot) com

I am a Chinese, and I can understand both English and Chinese. I will be willing to help if I am needed. Its just that it seems interesting thats all. *GOOD *GOOD *MWITCH

I'm interested in helping out if there's still a need.. =___=

Then email me asking for the test :x

Sometimes i wish that you would let people proof if they just know english. translatings for translaters. I was all excited, i even used to do some proofing for viscans, but i never got work so i left. Ah lammedos. Au revoir amis. Kepp up the old scanning for one manga where i read everything. let me know if you do change your mind about the japenese requirement.

I know fluent Japanese (even though my Kanji skills are not that good, if it has furigana, I should be fine) and English. *HI

But I was wondering which one do you guys need the most right now: proofreaders or translators? *??

I could do either one, and I would love to help...Especially because I want to read new chapters before anyone else. *GLINT

I want to apply if you still need proofreaders.., just email me at animangalover23@yahoo.com just inform me if you guys still need help i'm really interested on being a proofreader.., thanks...
