Naruto Dropped (Binktopia)

[shanyueh]

Thank you for all your hard work to bring us Naruto! I for one will really miss your scanlations.

thanks.

btw whats so hard to do a translation from Japanese into English if u know both languages?
Theres not really much text and if u know both languages it could be done in 5min?

Well maybe the scanlation but then make it 20min max.

Translating is not simple. While in your mind, you might comprehend what something is in a different language, to then have to word it in English so that it makes sense, and flows properly is not an easy task. Furthermore, most translators aren't 100% fluent in both Japanese and English, usually, they are weaker at Japanese because they've learned it as a second language. You're talking about people who can transition between Japanese and English at the snap of a finger and there simply aren't many, if any, translators out there that can.

But more to the point, that is totally irrelevant to the topic. Binktopia is dropping Naruto because our two cleaners for it (Blud and Kylara) both have issues to deal with in their personal lives and they feel like Naruto is conflicting with their best interests. It has nothing to do with translators.

This does suck but I understand how busy some people can get.

It's weird though. As the 50,000th member, I feel I should have been included in this decision. I've checked my emails and msn/aim and I haven't received a message from anyone regarding Naruto. To be honest, I'm feeling quite left out. :(
