What is this?

/jp/ has started on a project to translate the visual novel Hatsukoi, one of the highest rated according to the Japanese.

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 are slightly over 15% as of this post. At our current rate of ~100 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 1500 lines a day, we'll finish before the end of the year.

1500/day is only if you want to finish this by the end of the year. 15 translators doing 100 per day would give an equivalent rate.

As an outside observer who is interested in spontaneous internet collaboration, I have to say this is very awesome. If this project ever reaches 1500 lines/day it will be a very significant achievement. This project excites me alot, I hope it reaches it's potential.

>> No.3659765

>>3659395
If this reached 1500 lines per day it would be done in less than a month. They anon who was translating the common route did say to expect something big sometime in December, however. Also, you can help with editing even if you don't know Japanese (correcting spelling/grammar errors and such).

I have to say I'm really tired of seeing a Hatsukoi thread every time I come here.

No offense, I really appreciate any VN being translated, but I doubt you're going to get any more translators from /jp/ and it's really really annoying seeing the same thing posted every time I visit.

I don't know much about these things but wouldn’t a bit of link changing fix this issue. As a webmaster myself I haven’t noticed a significant increase in bandwidth usage from google caching. Is the problem due to increased visitors, or due to google caching your scripts, or something else?

Could you password protect the website? Maybe just add the username/password to your next Hatsukoi Translation Thread, that might deal with google and still allow the anon translators access.
