    Means I Can Add Updates?

    For example the novel wasn't updated for 10 days and I added chapters to the series. Is that approved?

    It might not be approved quickly. Staff needs to be online and reach that place in the queue.

    Also, just a reminder: any type of "walls", be it registering, typing in a password that is not obviously displayed in the TOC, requiring payment or viewing of ads, OR the translation being unedited MTL (e.g. copy/paste from Google translate) -- will result in rejection.

    Is the new chapter from the current translator

    Or

    Are you adding a new one because you translated a chapter yourself.

    Oh, like the kitty was probably meaning to say... If you're trying to "steal" a series, it'll be rejected as well.

    I think there needs be like a 3 month break before a translator is considered inactive(?). Check the FAQ.

    As the novel's translation is freely available online and not password protected, you can definitely add them to NU.

    Thanks I will reread the faq

    Heyy I want to ask one thing, if I want to continue a series that is not updated, do I have to translate all the previous chapters or do I skip chapters to the next chapter?

    For example, the novel stops at Chapter 20 and I want to continue to Chapter 21 (Do I have to translate the previous 20 chapters)

    If the series hasn't had any update from the original translator in the past month, then you can start from chapter 21.

    If the series did have updates from the original translator in the past month, then you need to start from chapter 1.

    Heyy aku mau nanya satu hal, kalo mau lanjutin series yang gak update harus translate semua chapter sebelumnya atau aku skip chapter ke chapter selanjutnya?

    Misalnya novel berhenti di Bab 20 dan saya ingin melanjutkan ke Bab 21 (Apakah saya harus menerjemahkan 20 bab sebelumnya)
    the novel I chose has not been updated for 5 years hahaha

    Are you using google translate to converse here? If so, it doesn't seem like you'll reach the "edited" MTL requirement...

    I don't think you do since you keep trying to add unedited releases and then making reports asking for us to reconsider. We will not be accepting any releases from you. Good day.
