Question for other manga translators: How did you find work with reasonable rates? This is the third time this year I've passed an agency's test (with positive feedback) only to be offered less than 150 yen per page. Am I just barking up the wrong tree looking at agencies?

Be me, get part time work in a hobby store: Also me: translating the Japanese I see on stuff No escape… I had a great first day though!! 🥹✨
Subathon, but it's just me playing Wonderful Everyday (Subarashiki Hibi) and the World Ends with You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai) and watching It's a Wonderful Life and driving a Subaru while eating a Subway sandwich
I feel like I was kind of scaremongered into thinking I couldn't really fit in here, but the queer community in Tokyo, no matter which group or space I've been to, has been so totally welcoming it warms my heart. I just love it here
I'm proud to announce that I had the honor to head up the English core scenario translation of Eiyuden Chronicle, with the help of a small but dedicated team including the amazing @snowjew and @limeslimetime. (1/5)
i once translated 余計な真似をするな as "don't try to be a hero" & i noted it in a doc i keep for my big-brain translations for the many uniquely JP phrases that really put me through my paces. thus concludes today's slightly belated post for Terrific Translation Thursdays
Time to do a new portfolio post ✨ I'm a J>E freelance translator--who up until now has mostly worked on LNs and dipped my toes into video games, but I'm open to pretty much anything! I would love to get into manga! Here's some titles I've worked on!
Translation conundrum. Sometimes, even kanji doesn't help. 「あのねー私の彼氏ー、郵便屋さんなのに一切手を出してくれないのー」 See also: 辛い＝からい＝つらい
Ok, sometimes redditors can be alright.
This is why a lot of the advice editors will give you has to do with engaging with media OUTSIDE of manga, because good stories are born from a breadth of experiences and inspirations. And I think that applies to most creative pursuits, including translation.
This a known phenomenon in all media creation. It's especially well-known in American comics and Japanese anime, where it went from being made by people with well-rounded backgrounds to people that grew up solely on a given medium, leading to "inmates running the asylum".
I feel like discussing translation topics today. One that comes to mind is a tip for newer media translators based on recent gameplay experiences: Masu form is the "business casual" of polite forms. It should still sound natural and use contractions. Don't avoid them in EN.

@jinjiroubouei i love alice and testa because it's like what if you constantly did the "and they were roommates" bit at a straight couple
@ChrisCraigoJP Yes, all of those for sure! Any degrees or volunteer experience too
@ChrisCraigoJP Write a brief intro email about your experience+have multiple people check your resume to make sure it's strong. The main thing is that publishers want to test people who are likely to pass, so they might not respond to people with no exp or no proof of language ability
@ChrisCraigoJP If they require freelancers to take one, they'd give it to you regardless of whether you mention it. The main barrier is getting them to take a look at your application and to consider giving you a test since many applicants don't get a reply because publishers are busy
@ChrisCraigoJP Well, here's an example of the kind of jobs page I'm talking about: j-novel.club/jobs If you scroll down, you'll see a bit about accepting applications, so just send em a line and see what happens.
