Hello Animal, I've noticed your message on Translate:Omake chapter translation (JA → EN) that you would like to have an active permanent translator—I assume for Japanese language—on your wiki.

Unfortunately, I would like to request to not request anyone here for doing so, but instead use Translate:Requests. You can create a new request every day, and since I assume it's mostly short sentences, you can ask for 10 items (as per our request policy). If you ask so in "extra information", we can add the translations directly onto your wiki.

However, I'd like to explain this decision.

We are a translation team with people from various wikis. This means that not only might our translators be interested in different things than your wiki is about, but that our translators are often already involved in other wikis and the WLB is just "another project" they also help out.

Additionally, for Japanese language specifically, if you check out Portal:日本語/ブリガディア (our Japanese memberlist), you will see most of our members are at a beginner level of Japanese and that half of those who are at a higher level are busy. Not surprisingly however, Japanese is the most requested language here which makes that we can't translate as speedily as we'd want to.

In fact, I personally wish that I could reach out to anime/manga wikis all over Wikia and have their Japanese translators join our team, so that the waiting time gets shortened and we can process requests in a few days or less. After all, content gets released at different times and thus translators of some wikis might have time on other wikis translators get flooded with new content.

To finish off my message,

We definitely don't mind getting new requests, and we will always try to make sure you get fast and qualitative translations. And if a translator falls in love with your wiki through doing translations, they're all yours.

To Ploverさん: 今度の翻訳もお疲れ様です.

日本語チームはもう十分忙しいと思いますし、（一時的でなく）メンバーを別のウィキに招待しないことにしましょう. ですが、もしそう依頼されたら直接にそのウィキを編集したりしても良いです. そして、今後のリクエストもがんばりましょう ♪

よろしくお願いします.
