/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What is this?

/jp/ has started on a project to translate the visual novel Hatsukoi.

Are you in need of translators?

Of course! Anyone with knowledge of Japanese (and English) is welcome to join in and start translating with the simple and easy-to-use REtrans™ Web Interface.

Are you in need of editors?

Definitely. You don't even need to know Japanese to help improve the English text, so your participation is encouraged.

What is the length/progress/ETA?

The total length of the content is approximately 32k lines. We have translated close to 10% of that as of this post. At our current rate of ~150 lines a day, we'll finish sometime in April of 2010. But the more translators we have, the faster everyone can enjoy the results! If we get to 400 lines a day, we'll finish before the end of the year.
