I'm looking for people to translate a game and then test the translation (play through the game).
Now let's talk about the business stuff first. It's for pay, but here's how it works. You won't become rich from this. For 3 months you'll get 100% of the profits from the region(s) in which the language is the national language or whatever, and if some region has a more than 1 (I'm thinking of French in Canada) you'll get 50% of that also. To be fair, I take the highest amount earned (I'm thinking French could possibly be that if someone decides to do that translation) and everybody gets that amount for their translation. So if you translate for a small region where not many people are likely to buy, you get the same amount as someone translating for a larger demographic. To give a figure, and this is not guaranteed or anything but people have already translated the game to some languages and they're making $24.06 CAD for May (they'll be paid for June and July also). For sales where I have no region data, the shares will be projected based on the regions where I do.
So, I probably said most of what I need to say. The game is Monster RPG 2 [www.monster-rpg.com]. It sells on the iOS App Store, the Mac App Store, Ubuntu Software Center, and directly from my website (
http://www.nooskewl.com). One thing I should mention is that I don't know if I have or can find a suitable CJK font for Japanese/Chinese/Korean translations, but if I can those would be great. I'll check into it if anyone can provide such a translation. About the size of the job, there are 946 lines to translate, some of them are single words and some of them are small paragraphs. The English translation has around 35K characters. Next thing of note is that the next release of the game (You will be paid starting then) could take a while as I've got an artist retouching all of the player battle sprites in his spare time. On top of that, I get paid the month after the end of the selling month. So if the artist finishes in 2 months, you wouldn't receive any money until 4 months from now.
Also should mention translator/testers will get translating/testing credits in the game too.
Ok big ramblings over. Let me know, but please do not apply if you're not completely serious about finishing and doing a good job.
Thanks.
