    Waifu Translation Project!

    Let's get to the point: I want to help you translate your waifus from Japanese to English. Not just their introductions, and gift/scouting/hidden stage quotes; no, I want to translate ALL of it. The problem is that I can't do it alone. For one, I'm not fluent in Japanese, and the Google's translation ranges from passable to literally claiming that Lily Rubellum, the Purity flower knight, has a child (I wish I was joking, but I am not). For two, I know that I will get bored and quit before it's done if I'm the only one working on it. Thus, I'm coming here in an attempt to crowd-source this fairly large project.

    So how can you help? Right now I'm just looking for advice, as I honestly don't know the best way to do this. The current idea is to have some sort of Google Doc or Pastebin that's viewable by anyone with a link but only editable by approved users. The document would be formatted similar to this: https://pastebin.com/01gtRSnZ

    (side note: why does this forum give users a tool to add links to a post, only to tell them that they can't add links to their posts?)

    Does this sound like a workable plan? Any recommendations for a collaborative editing tool to host the document? Is there a better way to format the document? Is anyone even interested in helping with this project? Let me know below!

    Did you check if http://flowerknight.wikia.com/wiki/F...ght_Girl_Wikia has some sort of active translation work? I'm sure someone has asked over there before.

    It's a big job. IMO it's not even about translating the meaning of the lines correctly, it's more about translating the personality of the character. Having tried doing this before, I can say it's fucking hard

    Admittedly, no, I did not look. I guessed that there wasn't based on the fact that none of the wikis that I've seen have full translations for character voice lines (with the exception of one time where I saw Onci had a full translation, but I've never been able to find it again).

    Don't get me wrong, I know this project is massive and complicated. I was just trying to gauge volunteer interest before sinking too much time and energy into it.

  4. Anyone who would put that much effort in full translations might as well try to get hired by Nutaku/SuperHipsters at that point.
