Hey everyone. I just started a community where you can request pro/amateur translators for translations. Anyone can make requests, and anyone can translate!

I was a very active member of /r/translators on Reddit until the platform banned me (not the sub, they were great).

I’m a Japanese-English translator by profession and would love to help you guys out with quick translations. There used to be a lot of requests on Reddit for tattoo ideas.

I haven’t added a rule for keeping requests reasonable (i.e. don’t expect us to translate a whole book), and not to charge money for translations but don’t know how to word it right. I guess I should also decide if NSFW requests would be ok or not. So if anyone could help me there as well, that would be super!

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします！

    That’s a super good point about keeping the community alive. I grew up in Canada so I speak a bit of French too, and I like to watch French content on YouTube and Instagram, but there’s just so much colloquialism that I just don’t get, so maybe I’ll start by posting questions I have about that. I can post what I think something means and an expert can jump in and help. Even if I don’t get the answer, it’s not a huge deal and at least it keeps the community alive.

    Thanks for the input!
