    Is there a team which focuses on translating GURO doujin/manga? If there isn't, it would be cool if we found one here on GC
    >>
    If a translation team specifically translating guro doujins does exist, then it's likely they come from China. Guro's too niche in English speaking communities to have a non-profit group translating doujins specifically related to guro to English.

    China? Not Japan?
    Or are you referring to the cost of manpower? ;)

    Doujin implies self-published Japanese manga. OP is talking about translated manga, meaning the manga is translating Japanese text. Most of the current doujin scanlation scene originate from China, and a good chunk of guro artwork made outside of Japan comes from China, believe it or not.

    I knew this. That's why I was wondering.
    So, if Chinese translators do their work, the results are always doujins with text in their language. Did I get you correct?

    >believe it or not
    I've no other info, so I take your word.
    At least, artwork made in China is to be expected in Chinese language.

    >OP is talking about translated manga
    ... and proposing the foundation of a translation group on this chan. Makes sense to me, because it would deliver in the here most spoken tongue.

    Yes, you did.

    Doujin manga can take a long time to translate. Not to mention the proposed translators would have to be really invested and passionate about guro (and also, y'know, speak Japanese). Personally, I think if there could exist a guro translation group not after monetary rewards, unique to GUROchan, they should spend time translating one-two page guro comics that often get posted onto Twitter/art sites amongst Japanese guro cliques, that frequently get lost in a sea of retweets, never to be seen again after the artist deletes their account for the umpteenth time.

    Well it is not really that hard you don't need any significant japanese knowledge although knowing japanese alphabet is useful for translating onomatopoeia.
    I translated several few mangas myself long time ago when technology was much worse and one of the biggest problems is to turn machine translated text into something what makes sense.
    Now things are pretty easy and probably so easy that it it may be discouraging from doing good quality translation alone.


    In my opinion translation on GC should work like this, someone posts one or few pages and translates it them someone else posts another page and translates it until whole manga gets finished. this would be much easier than translating everything for one person.

    No knowledge is required, you just right click on the image on your chrome use "goggle lens" and post translated text with appropriate adjustments.

    Editing manga will be much more work

    There's one guy in the current Jissou thread that does just that.
    >>
    Capture2Text is an excellent program for hooking text in mangas that also works in games.An alternative is an OCR(Optical Character Recognition) site.I found that ocr.space does the best job for japanese mangas.
    After you obtain the text you just paste it into a translator.I don't recomment google, the site I've successfuly used to get the best translationis deepl.com! I hope this helps!

    HF!^^
