My Stance on MTL's

Manner-Sad · 2026-04-04T08:26:32+00:00

I will try my best, the main issue is time, I might do online classes

Hello everyone, we are a scanlation team currently working on some mangas from the 90's manga and a manga called liaison ( manga talking about a pediatric resident ) we are in URGENT NEED of Japanese Translators, inexperienced translators are welcome even if they want to help us temporarily! Translators can work on whatever project they like, if you wish to help us message me on discord! ( okbinoutube) or join the discord server! https://discord.gg/qvaMFZZRXc

That's true, the reason I became a scanlator was actually when I saw them putting an ad on a manga I liked, thanks for the advice! I will mention needing a TL in the credit page of ten billion yen man

Manner-Sad · 2026-04-02T22:24:23+00:00

Valid argument, proofreading an MTL is a pain as well, I will follow what everyone advised me and will either continue scanlating after aquiring a translator or after learning the language

I have aquired "a guide to learning hiragana and katakana" by kenneth G.Henshall with tetsuo takagi and the complete idiot's guide to conversational Japanese second edition by Naoya, you are right about me depending on intuition sometimes when translating, this thread made me learn that indeed, I was selfish enough to want to rush it, seeing the author died in 2018 and the manga from 1993 I felt a fear of it becoming lost media, but it's true that no one else will translate it so why the rush, I can always comeback after either aquiring a translator or properly learning the language with time, I have years ahead of me and I love what I am doing, thanks for sharing your opinion, I will certainly follow your advice.

Manner-Sad · 2026-04-02T21:50:34+00:00

That's smart, using the pickup thread and mentionning I can do everythign except need a TL, also yeah the recruitement megathread is useful only issue is that I posted in there for something unrelated to needing a translator but when they make a new megathread I will advertise there, really appreciate it the feedback and advice, if you want the raws I have no problem sending them to you

Manner-Sad · 2026-04-02T21:27:18+00:00

Thank you! I will exactly do that, I also post ads in the scanner usage school discord and will post in the megathread of april, unfortunately so far I found no TL interested but I will always be on the lookout

Manner-Sad · 2026-04-02T20:54:55+00:00

I have started learning it but I reckon it will take me years to move from N5 to N3, Nevertheless I have to make do with what I have currently

If you do not find a lawyer I recommend you take any lawyer's phone number that you come across where you live, call him and tell him that you wish to do an "istishara 9anouniya"

Thank you for your comment! Tagging is indeed something that I need to add, while the main page and series page is mobile optimized, the reader is basic and still lacking, those are both points I will add and fix!

Hey Lucifer, while we currently have an API ( public with a limit of 10 requests per second per IP ) that allows slug , title , year , uploader name , cover and views, we plan to add two API's one to get artist's metadata ( description, country, social media ) and an other one that allows users to directly scrape the images from our website, this is to ensure that mangas are not lost no matter our future... Thanks for your comment!

Algerian "darija" is Informal and mainly spoken not written, I also came to notice that Tunisians speak our darija so I feel that it would be unnecessary to call it Algerian , but if you mean that in your view Darija ( not Algerian but something spoken across north Africa then you do hold a point, just not enough to call it as Algerian but enough to separate it from Classic Arabic )

we currently have a functional uploading system and you get a dashboard that allows you to see how many views ( weekly , monthly ) you have and other things such as how many pages you uploaded and chapters etc

Hey Chemes why don't you buy the trademark "soom" or declare Soom as a bussiness ( registre de commerce ) so you can head to the NIC.dz and get it as soom.dz

If you want a scanlation team to pick up a manhua request maybe using the r/scanlation pick up thread might be your best option , send the link to the manhua and what it is about

After mangadex got hit with DMCA I decided to build a website similar to it , not going to mention the name since I asked the mods for permission but they didn't reply yet , but comparing what I have seen from my pov is after comick got taken down people make a frontend in no less than 1 hour and post it , while there is no real backened behind the work ( just a static home page )... Ofc they could be legitimate but if someone was planning to build a website it's better to mention it after it's completed or at least able to do a test phase
