Translations (JP to English)

[Reinheart]

Why don't you guys consider the translator job always posted on the forum...

If you check that link out for the job position, it's localization, which is totally different from regular translation.
You will need to have skills to write literature, add flavor, all the good stuff to make it interesting. Direct translations for video game doesn't turn out well as different culture has different ways of seeing things, like Japanese jokes won't fly in the US or other countries. So these people need to change them around to fit their region.... I for one don't have that skill, wish I did.

Also secondly, you have to live in Japan for that position. I have a family of my own now with wife and two kids. I don't want my kids to go through what I did, where I was born in Japan, moving over 8-10 times, losing new friends I make every time, then suddenly moving to US (Hawaii) when my English skills wasn't even well enough to speak to others. I struggled enough in Japan for looking like American (back then there were still people running around shoving race cards in Japan, still have them but much much less than when I grew up). I struggled when I moved to Hawaii as I couldn't speak English fully... I could speak, but it was straight out of text book type of English which wasn't good when talking to kids that age... I didn't know any swear words, ended up being called one and not knowing until I got home and asked my parents what it meant. I don't want my kids to grow up the same way, I want them to at least grow up till 18 years old in one location, learn one language fully. Then after let them decide what they want to do with their lives.

Anyways that's my reason for why I'm not taking that LOC Team position
Any other translation positions which is available here locally, I'm up for it. I tried couple with SE already, still trying LOL.

Oh I only briefly browsed that offer, since I'm not interested in translation (I'm studying to be an engineer), so I didn't noticed that the living requirement was to be in japan...
