Yay for OCD. I used to be like that, now I just do it as a fun thing.

The only chapter I ever translated for shits and giggles was Itsuten 6's prologue and that was because it was so damned short...Poke2201 wrote:Yay for OCD. I used to be like that, now I just do it as a fun thing.

...It's actually around a week or two for me. And I also take easy chapters. Like the Aria GO FOR THE NEXTs.

Re: What is the primary reason for you to be translating/edi
I'm quite a slacker. I took 5 1/2 months for a 60kb chapters. There was only one chapter that I worked hard on every day and during every minute of my spare time at home.

Re: What is the primary reason for you to be translating/edi
One page sums up to about 1kb. On the wiki, that is, since it depends on the encoding used.Cosmic Eagle wrote: Whut...13kb is only IIRC 3 sheets of paper both sides.

Re: What is the primary reason for you to be translating/edi
actually, when you uploaded it, it's only 2.8KB. I average 4 to 5 KB per hour depending on my attention span and the novel. Kagami's novel and baka test I can definitely do at least 5 KB per hour on average. the max I've ever done is around 6k+ in one hour, which is not often.

Re: What is the primary reason for you to be translating/edi
Anyone here knows how many pages is it for the translation of a single page of LN on Word? Double-lined, written in 12.

About 300kb. 1 kb per RAW page.
And I don't know if I can still call myself a slacker...

Re: What is the primary reason for you to be translating/edi
my advice is don't use word because the encoding is different. use notepad. I use a private mediawiki though.
