Hi all. I was pointed to make a topic in this forum, so here I am. ^^;

I was interested in taking the translator test, not to become a translator, but to see how I'd do on it. I'm taking Japanese classes, so I felt that I should do something to help apply what I'm learning and to help me grasp it. Who knows, I may help out in the future. *Don't hold your breath* :P

So, how do I go about doing this? How is the test actually laid out?

I, too am interested in being an AQS translator if you need more. I sent a PM to Sushi-Y as well but havn't gotten a response. so, what do I do to try out? or did you get such a big flood of applicants you don't need most of us?
Anyways, I'm still interested.

I'm interested too. It seems the large number of applicants had caused Sushi-Y-himesama's pm inbox to burst... Or so Tmoo says.

Well I've alraedy pm'ed sushi-y so I guess this is just me saying hi to the other wannabe translators and 1 tester ^_^

Do we actually have a translator test for scanlation team? Granted I'm not part of that side of AQS operations so I wouldn't know...

Barring any disagreement from Sushi-Y or the other head honchos, I can give a torture..err...mock test for the kids to try.

Well? Thoughts?

Dare I suggest, Shinikenshi - you're probably best to ask (PM) Sushi-Y if you can help her by setting them a test - and you'll probably get a faster answer that way :)
And you might mention this thread to her also - coz I know she doesn't frequent the AQS "outside world" too often lately :)

kano- Yeah, I probably should ask her about it, though I can imagine if she hasn't seen this thread yet (she does frequent the Japanese mini-forum after all) she's probably rather busy. Not saying I know what I'm doing, but since I do have manga translation experience, I think I can give them a suitable prelim test. She of course, is the ultimate arbiter in this situation. ^^;

As I am busy and it's late (2 AM...oh my!) I will give you my preliminary translator's test tomorrow. If you kids fail it, do not fret as it is just a preliminary test for me to gauge your abilities.

I'd like to take this test please. If you could PM it to me I'd be most grateful.

Tests have been sent. Check your PM inbox.

Good luck!

Hehe, apparently it is the same test as the one Sushi-Y gave out... I'm still up to page 7, as I only have an hour or so a day to work on it... Good luck guys!

Yeah...it is. IF in the case you never got a response, I was told to give you Sushi-Y's test. If you have it already then good. Just forward the results off to her then. ^^
