I like to translator but I am rookie I tried to use translater app but couldn’t figure out how to do ..it ….
Sorry, we are not really looking for machine translator
yo, I’m a rookie
question :
1) what does typesetter do?
2) what do you mean by proof reader?
Typesetter : does the typesetting = input text in bubbles
Proofreader = check the text and correct it if need (grammar, expression or orthography)
I have some question about with the writing criteria and other positions: What is the main difference between intermediate and advanced? Also what will i need to learn for typesetting, because i already am able to clean?
Let’s say you apply for typesetter, what is the workload per week? Is there a deadline for every piece of document we get?
Lately, we ask for a full editor rather than a single typesetter with redrawer, etc.
It can take a day to do the whole thing but we don’t fix any deadline.
I like the work you all are doing and I want to contribute by doing the stuff…However I am novice and don’t know about the stuff you all do…..
It would be nice if you could give me a rough idea and some tips on how to get started…..Though I am certain that I don’t meet the standards for a translator…. My knowledge of Korean language is comparable to a beginner….. To sum it up it would be nice if you could be of any little help….Thanks.. Keep Up The Good Work!!!
Hey,
well…if you don’t meet the requirement, we can’t help you. We don’t have anything to form anybody, especially the translating.
Cheers
Woah, I used my fb to comment -_- could you remove that comment afterwards? please?
Done.
Could I trial for proof reader? Like, do you have any tests I could do?
You have to send an email for the application
I’m interested in applying ‘cleaners’ I don’t have experience yet with the work but I know how to use photoshop 🙂
Oops. Accidently wrote down the name of my city instead of country. Such a fail.
I hope there is no problem if I resend the info.
Hi, I am a Korean translator and rookie too.
Is it only translate to english?
And how to be a Korean translator here?
You just have to fill the form above
Are you required to know 2 languages? For example, my English is fluent but in terms of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, I’ve no knowledge of.
For positions such as Translator, you require to know at least two languages fluently(English + any other). Otherwise, the Proofreader requires to know fluent English.
Hi well i meet the requirements as a proofreader and can do japenese not native level and i would like to apply for the position of translator
Hey, I was wondering how much access to the original script in the original language a typesetter, proofreader, or novel editor would have.
Because I’ve been looking for something like this where I can hone my language skills and also gain experience in this kind work, but I don’t think I’m advanced enough yet to apply for any type of payed translator position, as I would like to. So I’d be really interested in this as a learning experience and something to just keep me focused on and involved with the language I’m studying, but only if the resources are made available.
(My guess is that typesetter does since it should involve cutting and replacing, but what about the other two?)
Hey, I emailed you (KobatoChanDaiSuki) twice, I’m looking forward to your reply.
I am a huge fan of Lookism and like reading it in both English and Korean, so I read your translations sometimes! I know it says you do not need any webtoon translators at the moment, but I would love to be a backup if you are ever in need of one… Would that be something you might ever need?
