Scanslations:

Yes.

1) It doesn't get simulpubed in case of ongoing manga/ it gets simulpubed but it's popularity precedes it.
2) They beleive they could provide the higher quality localisation and the publishers isn't doing them justice
3) "Hey friends, I know this manga is already licensed and available readily but let's scanlate it anyway"

It's some ESL shit.
JP: どこぞの錬金術師が作った擬似生命体か[ホモンクラス]か?
Google (katakana for homonculus): Where is the Homon class made by the alchemist?
(kanji) Where is the pseudo-life form created by the alchemist?
DeepL (katakana): Some alchemist's hominid class?
(kanji): Some kind of alchemist's pseudo-life form?
Them: A chimera made from some alchemist?
It's worse than MTL. IDK if they are fucking up MTL even more, or if they are ESL chinks working purely off kanji.
Those definitely get DMCAd in Google search results.

Is Battlecry a good font to use? or should I stick to Zoink?

For dialog? They both look annoying to read.

Just because you're a more proficient MTLer than them doesn't mean they weren't MTLing.
>ここは?
being TLed as
>here?
makes it blatant that TL's japanese ability is none-existent.

It means "that is.." right?

>キャルヴィン
>Kyaruvin

I guess it could mean that but in this context it means
>where am I

Jap ability is non-existent for sure. Even blindly dumping machine output would be better than what they were doing. I just think that humans are as capable of generating garbage as machines.

And there's nothing you can do about it

I don't need to do anything because I'm not the one consuming shit

Does anybody know if they found a new proofreader for Akai Ringo yet? I kind of considered volunteering myself but spelling and grammar was never my strong suit so I would be a poor choice

also what the fuck happened to the english translation of The Devil of the Gods, it was there and now it's gone

Well yeah, unless they are indiscriminately copypasting whatever MTL shits out you can't tell for sure whether something is MTL + rewording based on context or N5-kun with a dictionary trying his best.

>you can't tell for sure whether something is MTL + rewording based on context or N5-kun with a dictionary trying his best.
maybe not with 1 page, but a chapter is usually enough to tell 100%.

I've never scanlated before, but I'm interested in doing some doujins for a particular fandom. Would it be better to just do the typesetting stuff myself since it's so short? I only really have interest in translating but finding a partner to do the other stuff seems like a hassle.

>Would it be better to just do the typesetting stuff myself
Go for it. Just be sure to read some typesetting guides first.

Join a group as a translator and exploit their PR/CL/TS for your needs.

Ok thanks for the link, I'll do that.

Seems like I'd be expected to do things instead of getting better at Japanese.

Nah don't worry about it user, good TL are hard to find so most groups will help release your stuff as long as you stay with them.

How many fonts is too much?

Having a unique font for every character.
