I need 10 to 15 native English speakers or Japanese translators who can translate Japanese Manga to English. We can give you $50 per volume of translation every week.
This is a continuous job, so if you want a constant income, this is a good chance for you.
I am a translator myself. I'm now involved with the big project from my client who wants to translate several volumes of Japanese Manga into English.
The manga is in digital format, one jpeg per page. Each volume has approximately 200 pages but each page contains only few phrases of words to translate since this is a comic book. This is actually a very easy job if you know the Japanese culture and native English colloquial expressions very well.
We have several topics of Manga to translate, example include the high school baseball game story, historical Chinese war epics, and high school girl's love story, so far no adults contents are included
We are getting the permission to translate from the author by each volume, therefore we would ask you to translate several topics of manga next by next.
Aside from the original comic's image file, we will provide you the list of words in Excel for easy translation. You only need to translate and fill the blanks in excel. If you are not English native speaker, then you must have some natives to proofread your work before submitting to us.
The quality of translation is very important since this would be the official translation of Japanese comics to English.
We need you to translate at least one volume of Manga every week. We value the quality of translation more than time, but you must finish at least one volume within a week with the native check. We will give you next volume of Manga to translate as soon as you finish one.
In order to qualify, you must:
(1) be a native English speaker OR a Japanese translator who has some English natives to proofread your work.
(2) have good knowledge of Japanese culture and history aside from being able to read Japanese.
(3) know the excellent English grammar and many colloquial expressions since the Manga contains mostly colloquial words and phrases.
(4) be willing to work for long period of time since we have more than 1000 volumes of Japanese Manga to translate.
We will pay you $55 for each volume of Manga. Therefore you will receive at least $50 every week as long as you finish on time. If you can finish translating more than two volumes of Manga each week, then you would receive $100 every week. We will evaluate your translated Manga every week, and if no mistakes or grammatical error was found, we would give you bonus of $10 for each volume of excellent job.
If you are interested in this job, please submit an application to ask for sample to translate.
I will send you a sample Japanese comics image file with the excel file. You must translate the sample carefully with native check, and then submit it to us within a week.
We will evaluate your application according to the quality of your translation.
If you are qualifying for this job, we will contact you within a week or so to start the work.
We would require you to sign our contract of collaboration which will protect all parties before starting this translation.
Therefore we are looking for dedicated, experienced and honest translators as this could be the start of long term collaboration.
I'm sure you can enjoy reading the comics every week if you love Japanese manga.
