Greetings, fellow furries!
I've been watching this site for quite a while, and now
I want to contribute this great community somehow.
Since my art grade was D at the best and I'm Japanese,
I want to translate some comics with hand-written japanese text which OCR cannot read.
I'm thinking of 2 ways to do this, and I need your help to decide which.

1. I just manually OCR Japanese text, so you can use google translate or something.

2. I translate them directly,if you can tolerate some weird English.

If you think option 2 is better,I need some good English to Japanese dictionary and/or vice versa,
which contains nice series of onomatopoeia and kinky words.
I need much more vocabulary to translate them nicely.
Web based ones will come in real handy.Anybody knows?

Sincerely,
Allomorph

Option 2 would be preferable, but either helps a ton.

All of the sites I can find for dirty Japanese --> English are designed for English users, though.

Why not do both? You could probably provide a good starting point, and someone fluent in English but not so good with Japanese could tidy up the translation (using google translate or japenese/english dictionaries to clear up any ambiguity in the translations you provide).

Either would help, but I'd rank the helpfulness as (doing both) > option 2 > option 1 > not doing anything.

Well actually,English to English dictionaly also helps.

Point,I'll try doing both.

dictionary.com for English-to-English is what I use. Hopefully its speed is okay for you where you are.

Please see images in the set japanese_text translation_request for a place to start.

tfd.com is a great one (thefreedictionary)

I'd suggest you start at japanese_text translation_request order:score as you'll be translating the ones most in need of translation instead of the newest images.

Thanks to you all people! I'm doing some early work now...
I'm leaving tags intact atm. Maybe should I change it to translated?

You should remove "translation_request" when it's present since you already translated (using notes, I suppose) the post

I'd also recommend, if possible, putting into the description any translations that you weren't sure of, or that could have multiple meanings. This way if someone sees that something else might be more appropriate for the way that the conversation is flowing, because they are more well-versed in English, then they can alter the notes accordingly to assist accuracy.
