Ever wanted to help out your favorite scanlation group get chapters out faster?
Ever complained about not getting chapters fast enough?
Ever found yourself with a lot of free time with nothing better to do but homework?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then you should try being a translator!

As long as you have the will and the time to take up japanese as another language. I am living proof that it is possible to learn japanese on your own without taking classes and get good enough to translate manga.

Here's how to become one:

1. Go to an online learn japanese site. For me it was,

Nihhongo Resources

2. Go download a japanese dictionary to expand your volcabulary. I use,

Download Jwpce!

3. When you feel up to it, go take whatever translating test we have for you!

That's all you have to do to learn how to be a translator. Now... get to it and join our small group of translators!

EDIT- Someone please move this to the scanlator's academy section

EDIT 2- Added a link concerning sentence structure courtesy of jmoredo.

Sentence Structure Here!
