DLsite is one of Japan’s largest services for 2D content, launched in 1996. More than 440 thousand manga, indie games, voice dramas, ASMR works, and more are available digitally through the site. DLsite has over 7 million registered members.
2D content from Japan is beloved by fans all over the world, and 1.23 million of our users are international (users who use a language other than Japanese on a daily basis). Our amount of users increases by the tens of thousands every month, and that number is expected to increase in the future.
Translators Unite was created to meet the ever-increasing needs of our international users, and to provide a platform for enthusiastic fans who want to share what they love and support their favorite creators.
Recruitment has begun for translators who can translate Japanese manga to English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Korean.
Special software is not required for the translation and typesetting process, which can be done easily online.
The proceeds from the sales of the translated work will be distributed to both the author and the translator.
In addition, translators can choose to work for free as a volunteer and not receive proceeds.
Over 3,000 works are already waiting to be translated.
Through Translators Unite, DLsite aims to curb the spread of pirated works and create a world where authors, translators, and everyone who enjoys their work can be happier.
