Hey everyone. I just started a community where you can request pro/amateur translators for translations. Anyone can make requests, and anyone can translate!

I was a very active member of /r/translators on Reddit until the platform banned me (not the sub, they were great).

I'm a Japanese-English translator by profession and would love to help you guys out with quick translations. There used to be a lot of requests on Reddit for tattoo ideas.

I haven't added a rule for keeping requests reasonable (i.e. don't expect us to translate a whole book), and not to charge money for translations but don't know how to word it right. I guess I should also decide if NSFW requests would be ok or not. So if anyone could help me there as well, that would be super!

Not OP but machine translation not understanding context is a big one, especially if you want to produce something (i.e. a tattoo or a request). DeepL also doesn't translate pictures so that too.

IIRC the paid version does, FWIW. Also, just for the record, Google Translate handles pictures, altho it's thoroughly mediocre at this time. Good for getting the main meaning, but it frequently boofs up various words and some expressions.

Anyway yeah, thanks for explaining. I see what you mean about tattoos, specifically.
