Hi,

I would like to help out with translation. I have studied Japanese for 2 years and find myself quite comfortable with reading and writing, even though I'm by no means ready with my Japanese studies. I haven't done any JLPT exams, but I think that I'm at around level 2.
I have played Kimi ga Nozomu Eien about a year ago and really liked the game (and of course, the anime as well ^^).

But well, I have no experience of translation so far.

If you want to reach me, please send an email.

Oops! I had sent Ace a PM informing him that I wanted to be an editor, but I probably should have posted it here. Sorry, I just forgot about this thread.

Original PM:

I was wondering if I would be able to be an editor for the KimiNozo translation project. I don't have any Japanese or hacking skills, but I would be able to check for errors in the text and make the sentances flow better. AnimeXploit has given me some details in the "Questions About the ~Latest Edition~" thread that I made and told me to contact you.

Would you want me as an editor? If so, is there anything I need to know before starting?

LOL, don't worry about it. I should have posted here in the first place, instead of sending you a PM.

I'd actually like to do some editing for consistency and general game flow.

As far as Japanese proficiency, I've taken 2 years in college and though I'm relatively confident in my skills, kanji reading is a weakness for me, which is why I'm not volunteering as a translator. Because of this, though, if I were provided with Japanese side-by-side with the English, I could probably work with the translation a little better to try to edit text tightly but still try to keep imagery and and find parallels to the idiomatic expressions of the original.

My other qualifications: I have a computer with Final Cut, so I could help with any movie scene translations there might be. Also, I've done some non-professional editing while at school for a couple of student organizations. Also, here's my blog I'm working on as the President of the University of Oklahoma Animation Society: akinotsuki.wordpress.com. Thanks!

I'll email you the editor test this week or next, I have a few weddings i'm attending in the next 7 days so I'm a bit busy. you can also PM ONO, and he should be able to send you the test as well
