Hey guys i wannna translate mangas english to french.

Manga is particularly written in Japanese... I don't see how an English to French translation will work out, not unless you plan to have a french group and become an affiliate.

Do you perhaps mean French to English?

Hi, I'd like to submit an application to become a translator.

Languages: Fluent in Korean, English and Spanish.
Age: Late 20's
Education: Some college, law background.
Timezone: PST.
Prior Experience: Zippo.

I'm a fairly easy-going guy who likes to fool around but appreciates focus and commitment when it's time to really throw down and get to the nitty-gritty. I was born in Korea, raised in South America, and educated in the US. As such, I've been blessed to speak all 3 languages fluently, though my Korean does pale a bit in comparison to the other two. Most of my friends are Korean and it's the everyday language I employ the most, but overly technical or archaic words are lost on me. I vaguely entertained fantasies of becoming a writer for English or Spanish, but those were the dreams of a younger man.

I have zero experience in scanlation. I actually got started on this because I really, really wanted to share Kaiouki with the wider world, and began scanlating it on my own. That was one week ago. I have already posted several chapters on Batoto.com. If you were to place my head on an over-sized oil-press and squeeeeezed, my knowledge of Photoshop could perhaps fill half a thimble. Thusly armed, I ventured into the field of raw manga, and limped away with a win by default. Barely.

So, I'd love to share the work with others, and this is why I have come forward. I'm game for other translation projects, so long as I can free up some of my spare time from Kaiouki.

Thanks for the consideration, and I truly look forward to working with you all.
