    Bugger! Thank you @LaDyViL for not putting a dunce cap on me. XDD

    我沒打你啊 @xiazixin 只是好奇你的反應為什麼那麼激烈。我以為有什麼沒在檯面上的內幕。

    Switching back to English for the benefit of the community at large. Honestly, IMO all this finger pointing at hobby translators is what comes off as rude. This entire community started off as hobby translators; all the (OG) full-timers on WW and volare did as well. I translate on both sites, and I used to own volare. We got apps from professional translators all the time and most often, theirs were much worse than the hobbyists. In the 2.5 years I ran volare, we accepted one professional app out of hundreds. Thousands? Can't remember lol.

    Why were they so bad? That harkens back to something @Bythesea said in his first reply. For our purposes, native level English is actually much more important than Chinese. Grasping enough Chinese to understand the raws is enough, the rest is knowing enough English vernacular/slang/appropriate register to do stuff like 牛逼,綠茶婊 etc. It doesn't matter how good one's Chinese is or how professional the English academic translations are. That still makes for an unappetizing English (web)novel.

    My novels are in my sig, you're more than welcome to judge them! My background's in finance and I have a MBA & CPA. I started translating after work for fun, the very definition of a hobbyist.

    話說,通常會在公開論壇上問的問題... 你知道的。用這個來定一個社區的程度可能會太過草率。

    @etvolare 可能是我看到你刚才楼下的那个吧,心里长毛了, 他不懂滑稽的意思也不怪他,我很冷静。毕竟他是萌新吧。

    Ask @Tony but if I have to guess, it'll be like comparing who got the biggest dycks around, "I got blablabla better than his offers some come to mine instead I offer better blablabla" or "I pay ##, they only pay you #, be my slave instead" ╮(╯▽╰)╭

    Since everything in here after OP has pretty much been about the translating part; I'm wondering if editors are still wanted? (I'd assume those positions would be filled rather quickly.)

    For the time being, we have enough editors for the books we are currently translating, and new editors will have to wait until the next book is released (we release books from time to time as we still have thousands of books waiting to be translated). Therefore, what we are looking for at the moment are essentially backup editors. If you are interested, you are more than welcome to contact us. Also, we still need more translators.

    Hi there, I see that you are looking for backup editors and I will be more than happy to work.
    I dont see any contact information here so do let me know if you are still in need & interested.
    Furthermore I think I can start with backup editor and then can be updated to editor as i I am fairly good at english and editing and proofreading, but I'm still new here.
    Thanks in advance.

    P.s: Do let me know how to stay in touch.

    The editor position has already been filled out, but because we plan to release more books in the near future, we still need backup editors. You are welcome to apply.
