r u talking about manga translator?
ppl got lives and jobs. they do this for free. from cleaning the raws, typesetting, and translating. if u feel impatient, you can use google lens to translate the raws
they're also not obligated to give you regular updates. they're not being paid for this so they should pick it up whenever they feel like it even if it will take them a year or more
My sister in christ, it’s all volunteer work. Join a scanlation group and help em out.
this is so funny to me because youre asking this on an illegal platform…….. where translations are often done by volunteers or fans who arent obligated to do so……
im not even part of a scanlation group, but i think its pretty easy to understand why translating manga/manhwa takes a long time??? im quite flabbergasted seeing this question, sorry lol. maybe whats visible on the surface is just “translating,” but scanlation includes proofreading, typesetting, editing, and all that kind of stuff, and i am 100% sure translating even one panel already takes quite a bit of time
a lot of people arent aware that localizing a language is actually pretty difficult. i often read kr raws and realize that a lot of the kr manhwa i read just dont hit the same once theyre translated into english. if youve ever read raws and tried translating them using a machine like google translate or other automatic translating app, you will notice that the language is still pretty stiff and often doesnt rlly make sense. tbh from that point, i think you can understand why translating is difficult.
Damn then do it yourself wth. In French we say "on n'est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même"
Why do English translators on here take so long to translate raws when there’s so many chapters left to translate? And I mean like once a week
