Webtoons and google translate

Snowy January 2, 2021 6:27 pm

Recently a lot of random people have started 'translating' webtoons using google translate simply because they found the raws somewhere. They don't know anything about Korean and the chapters make zero sense. It's really sad, especially when the webtoons have a great story. Personally, I'd rather wait for a Scanlation team to pick it up. They work hard even if updates are slow. Or we can wait for an official eng translation. Both work.
People, I request you to not do that. If you don't know Korean there's no need to translate. (Still don't get the logic, btw) it's ok to wait. And you peeps never attempt it with mangas cuz typing kanji is difficult, isn't it? Please stop.

    Also cutting in the line of updates esp when the og translators didn't drop the story is a big no no for me

    ikr-- google translate is not accurate, so it's so confusing

    Hard agree!! It has happened so much recently and it really makes it hard to be immersed in the story with grammar errors everywhere.

    I totally agree with this! If people would like a certain series to be picked up, then why not just request it to a scan team! There will always be scan teams who may be interested! Or if you want to try translating a series, then why not join a scan team instead !! There are a lot of scan teams that are willing to teach newbies (trust me its easy to learn! Esp editing and cleaning ^^) I would rather much have people unite and join/help scan teams rather than try to do their own translations and end up ruining the series with the unclear translations :((. And it’s not that we don’t appreciate your hard work and effort (we do!) but patience will always be the better solution if we don’t have the means, or else we’ll just end up ruining it for everybody :((
