- Start a project, by yourself.
- Do as they tell you and get whatever tools you need for the game.
- Post this information on the wiki.
- Begin translating. Your ability and how fast you are does not matter one bit.
- Keep translating until some people appear out of nowhere and take the project out of your hands before even asking you or inviting you to their group.
- ?????
- PROFIT!

It has worked so far for 3 blasted games. It just can't be a coincidence. Go ahead and do the sama Anonymous!

Warning: This requires actual work and research on your side.

Until is the word. If I'm unlucky that won't happen until I've finished translating on my own.

No. As in actually good games. Older games are favored, I guess.

Only interested on Air. And why translate TH2 when To Heart has been rotting for decades?

Wasn't that guy who spent over a decade on Kanon also working on Air? He was kind of rabid when I asked if I should take the translation off his hands.

Already doing a very old, forgotten game by Elf. Since it is so old, very few of these guys will know about it.

I will simply arrive one day and say that I have translated the whole blasted thing and that I need a hacker to insert the text.

Out of mind and out of sight, see?

How about Tsui no Sora? It's apparently short and it's written by Scaji. http://vndb.org/v3246 It's an older game too.

Already busy, but will make an effort once i am done. Will take several months though.

Why don't you propose it at the TL IRC channel?

I could propose it there, but I really doubt they'd pick it up. Either way, thanks translator anon. I can't wait to see you what you're translating. I rather like older games so I'm really grateful. Good luck.

Opening, spring speech, town speech, some menus. Started doing Mizuho and Miko routes since they are the most readily available and their paths are related. Will move on to Shizuka after finishing the Spring part for those two.
