This is art, and a screen shot, from the new zelda. I called it "Zelda Reborn" before it was Twilight Princess

Welcome to the Translation Project!
This site is not open yet- I'm simply looking for help prior to it opening. This mostly means people who can translate Japanese to English and would be interested in doing this for any of the Zelda doujinshi, manga, or 4 koma listed further down on the page. If you have a question, or are wondering anything, maybe check this F.A.Q out first.

Contact me at melorasworld@gmail.com

Zelda Translation Project Introduction:
Hi! Melora here. This site once had a lot of manga and doujinshi on it. I'm working towards sharing the collection with everyone again and I really need help with Japanese to English translations.

So... this page should show what I have and what I'm looking for. If you would like to help translate something: Let me know what you think you can do or if you need more information on anything below. I'll get it to you right away. Once someone has agreed to work on a "volume," I will post that next to it, so no one gets confused and does any unnecessary work :D Please speak with me before you start on anything so that doesn't happen by accident. D: I'm also not asking translators to do the editing work, I am happy to do that myself, or to find other people who would like to help. Be sure to check this F.A.Q out for more info.

Site Updates: Aug 27, 2010: Bought that Vol 3 AoL manga I was missing. (Paid for EMS shipping, hopefully it will arrive alright.) It was semi-expensive.. but it kept taunting me.. tauntigng me to the point that I knew I would have regrets if I didn't add it to the collection. Le Sigh. Also: I've been working on a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff for the site. Twitter is how I'm doing these minor status updates. (find it below)

Previous Update Aug 05, 2010: I added a page of the guides I have/am going to make high-rez scans for and another page with an explination of why things are taking so long/the progress. The frequently asked questions have been moved to that too. ALSO: GlitterBerri has finished the original Legend of Zelda manga by Yuu Mishouzaki from 1989 and has now moved on to The Adventure of Link sequel. Everything I just said rocks- So go check it out by clicking on the covers below!

Current Translators and Status: (CLICK HERE FOR LIST)

Zelda Doujinshi:
FYI: A means I (and others) would really love to see it done- but by no means does a star mean that those need to be done first. Most of these are scanned, some are not. In the notes I'll add which ones I know I have large scans for- which would be easier to read from. If I don't have large scans for something ready, and you want to work on it, no biggie! I'd be happy to get them to you, if possible, it just wont be as instantaneous. If it is something I am not able to get large scans for, the images will only be around the size you see in the examples below. If I have the title of something wrong, please let me know. Oh, and I do not really need things like the artists talk, and advertisement pages, translated. I'm also not asking translators to do the editing work: Many other people would be happy to do that for you, so you can focus on what most of us can't do: and get a ton more translated :3

Manga:
FYI: I would REALLY love to have any of these done consider them starred! But- I know they would take quite a commitment... Except for the last one, the Multi-Guide. There's only 18 comic pages to it and they're not very text heavy. Most of the pages are only about 450x670 -but I can get you larger scans if you need them.

FYI: The text below the image refers to the name I have the files under. If you refer to one of these to me, please use the name I'm using- Example: "Enix OoT Tan" The title's I've given them also include which game the book covers. If you know Zelda, you should know what they mean LttP = Link to the Past. The scans I have ready are 450x670, but I can get larger ones to you. Right now I only have the first color pages of these volumes scanned. I do plan on scanning the whole of each volume though.

Other: Interviews, Bio's, FAQ's:
FYI: I am looking for someone who would translate any interviews, bio info, and FAQ's of Zelda game creators and manga creators such as Akira Himekawa. (If anyone knows of existing translations of this kind of stuff, please let me know! I've been out of the loop for a few years) This is what I know of, but I'd be very interested in other stuff I may not know about! Here are link's to more Akira Himekawa interviews and also: Their Bio. Like I said, I'd love to see these translated!

Already translated or being translated:
FYI: These do not need to be done and I do not need copies of them

I have these, but am not seeking translations right now:
FYI: Some of it's crappy (IMPO the manga listed here,) some of it's too long (like the Novels,) and some of it is just too pointlessly pornographic for me to care about- Like the NISE volumes.

Type: Doujinshi There are 2 volumes of Nise, I want neither. but I found a translation out there years ago. Type: Doujinshi (God damn this kind of shit: I don't want to see dark linkXyoung link- EVER. Threw it in the trash)

Type: Doujinshi Too pornographic to post on the the main site. Just listing it so people know that no copy is needed.

Type: Manga
Type: Manga Type: Manga
These last 4 volumes are too much of a DB rip-off. It kind of bothers me. It's also all very "alternate universe" anyway. Hardly any familiar characters. So I'm not seeking translations.

Spot errors? Confused? Have an idea?
Please let me know if there is anything confusing or messed up with this page! (Or if you just want to comment or have an idea for the project.) I want it to be comprehensive and easy to understand, but I'm not always good at making things that way. If I need to change something, I will be happy to, but I'll need your input to know.

A page with the guides (& artbookish things) I'm going to offer high-rez scans for can be found here.

Thanks everyone, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help and patience!
