List of LN Translations Not Hosted on B-T

Could we put it in the Future Projects, since there might be suggestions that are made and are available in other websites?

If by it, you mean this thread, it would probably be easier to put up a "off site translations" topic....

Alternatively, we could move it, however, it might confuse people just being named 'translations'.

@ Kira: Wouldnt have a problem with that

@Hobo: (Already) Translated would be to much, since most (if not all) arent completed. Some are even already stalled or canceled.

Darklor since your a senior i'm trying to petition this to you but in the suggestion I made here (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4776), I believe B-T should actually list all these series on the main site as well. B-T aims to promote awareness to LN's and what better way than to list all the translated novels not even hosted itself on B-T. Some of these sites stop translating but that allows translators from B-T to continue these projects if stalled. I hope you could talk to some higher ups about this since i'm just a member.

This is a way to make B-T not one of the many 'Average LN translation sites' but rather a 'Directory' of all translated novels (which to this day, no site has actually done, does this make B-T an unique site? I believe so)

Well The fact is that some sites don't want them to be hosted on BT, like Untuned Translation. They have allowed us to put a link to their site, but they did not allow us to upload the content. I'm unsure whether or not that if some sites don't even want that, but in the end, It all depends on them... And our superiors at BT

Raij check out Durarara!!... That's what other sites want us to do, link. I'm trying to have the mods allow it for all other series.

[Rajikai]

There are a handful of Projects that do that. The problem might be that they don't really feel like checking everyday for an update. Rather, I think it would be useful if other translators really want to do something like that, they would send an email or such telling when they finish with one of their projects (volumes/chapter), so it would make it easier for the staff here to do so.

Just like how it's done in mangaupdates.com

Though mangaupdates is updated mostly by members...

That's why there is Project Administrator and project editors?

You do realize that everyone here has better things to do than what we do, right?

RL > anything online.

This is the Dilemma we are put with.....it's easiest to just link to where it is being translated at, and leave it, people can check for themselves if it is done.

[Rajikai]

Their only in charge of the translation project. Anything else they do out of their free will. Administrator make sure it's done (I assume), editors check for grammatical mistakes as well as spelling errors. (I assume.)

Have to agree. If you want to track projects, Ip, track our own projects on BT, seems that the update on translations I created is pretty old...

I can assure you guys that just updating is the heck of a job.

[Rajikai]

It good enough that they translate. Asking anymore is out of your hands. If you want something to change, It's best to do it yourself. How? Easy, make a step by step guide of what changes should occur where and you post the change that should occur, so that they could just copy and paste.

Ex: Updated: 1/1/2011

Change to:
Updated: 1/16/2012

Then you check for the updates yourself, and post it up on the topic of your changes saying that they had an update on so and so, and give them a link...

Even though that's basically spoon feeding them, it's the least one could do, considering all the hard work they do.

Also it is not guaranteed that this will work out as I said, and might simply be rejected..

[lp113]

So your saying I can be such a project editor as long as I can keep it updated? I'm fine with that, I read the series anyways. And if there's a fan base, then there's always someone willing to put out. Just hit me up and i'll be on my way, how do I make project pages?

[hobogunner]

You'd have to get Oni to approve of you doing this before you even start....

What do you plan on doing, in short?
