    Default Pachinko translation services

    Hi there,

    I posted a short introduction in the new members area, but I'll make a post here too. I hope it's in the right place and I'm not committing some sort of faux pas.

    I'm a freelance Japanese translator and I can do a thorough translation (to English) of any Japanese materials you might have but can't read. I recently did some work for member svandensen on her new biohazard pachislo and was recommended to this site by her. If anyone's interested, just send me a pm and we can work out a deal.

    I also know Korean, just in case there are Korean machines or something like that.

    Might be interesting. I have a growing collection of frame and cel manuals, that would take me to long to translate.

    I've used William, he's terrific! (did my Biohazard machine, cheap and quick - I just emailed him cell phone screen shots).

    Do you have standard rates, or a list of rates per page etc?

    Please PM me if you don't wish to publicise them here?

    thanks...

    Sorry guys, my fiancee's in town and I haven't been checking my email.

    For now I'll work on a case by case basis. Rates per page or rates per photo would be difficult, since some things take more time to translate than others, even if they were the same number of words.

    Just pm me with what you got and we can work something out!

    If I get enough clients, maybe I can then work out something like a standard pricing list

    CFlip,
    The contact you gave me years ago typically costs around 7 or 8 bucks, just depends on the amount of words. I get the instruction placard done as well as random stickers/badges and I always pay him 10 bucks even if he charges anything less than that since I appreciate his service and he's very quick with the results.

    I would charge about the same thing. Maybe $5 a page for something with a decent amount of text?

    Very reasonable - can we PM you, or what's the best way to contact (say someone reads this in 1 year's time?)
