[mod] Calling Scanlators

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Due to the rising number of members and able-bodied people who can scanlate, it has been brought to my attention that we would probably need a check sheet of who is doing what so that scanlations will be more efficient and there will be less bumps of "I am doing the same project, oops" incidents.

If you are a scanlator, or are working on a scanlation, please post here with

-your username
-the strip you are currently working on
-the strip you will "claim" to translate
-the link to the strip in question

If in the event that you are dropping out of a claim to a strip, please also inform the other scanlators so that the scanlation can be made.

Please check the "scanlation" tag to see which strips have already been scanlated.

This post will be linked in the link list on the main page of the community. It will be checked and updated as scanlations are claimed.


Current claim list:





gomidog
Traits of Japanese people that American-kuns have noticed
Chapter 5 omake]
Comic Diary 10: 4th, 5th strips
Comic Diary 11: The last strip
and all of comic diary 4

dawnelkin/minji
-Diary Comic 8

lawlchan and kyonko_ishikawa

Summary of the War of Austrian Succession

hikaru_kaitou
-Alien Photoshop




ALSO, concerning rules, as a reminder:

-please make sure your posts have SOMETHING to do with Hetalia. Making a post that says "I saw a kid who looks like ____________" or "I saw a ton of flags lined up together and Japan's was next to Italy's" constitutes as SPAM unless you have something more substantial to go along with the post---like icons, banners, fics, fanart, etc. Just a photo or a video link of the above mentioned would constitute as spam and is better put into your personal LJ.

-DON'T FORGET TO CREDIT FANARTISTS/NICO NICO VIDEOS for any icons or banners that you make! It's as posted in the rules--fanart icons are allowed so long as at the end of the icon post, you post the list of fanartists' sites that you got them from. If you downloaded them from 4chan, please say so or ask others to tell you if they know. Most of us have bookmarks of our fave artists and would know where those pics came from.

Amazing timing for this post, 'cause I just started translating something last night ^^

Username: moriyama_umi
The strip you are currently working on: Teeny China & Japan's Conversation

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you!

Now that I think about it, maybe we should also link the strip in question, just in case we're not sure of the title...?

[moriyama-umi.livejournal.com]

Ah - great suggestion. This is the link to the one I'm working on - http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/c_n0.htm

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Cool, thank you!

[moriyama-umi.livejournal.com]

I would also like to claim: Hungary-san and a Maiden's Heart (http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/hnsan.htm)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Okay, added!

[konkira.livejournal.com]

YES! I am so looking forward to this one! Let me know if you need any help with editing.

[moriyama-umi.livejournal.com]

Sure - but I feel dumb for asking, exactly what does editing entail?

[konkira.livejournal.com]

And I feel awesomely dumb for not replying sooner! I seriously need to log out of my RP account more often, orz! Sorry!

Editing is basically cleaning the original strips (getting rid of the japanese text/background SFX etc), inserting the translated text and double checking facts. It can pretty tedious to do by yourself if you're tackling a long strip and want to just focus on the translation. Non-japanese speakers like me with basic photoshop skills are happy to help :)

I saw you've already finished the China one though and you did a great job!
