Don't take this to mean that we're going under or anything of that nature, but as you've probably noticed, the volume of articles over the past few months here at TechJapan has been somewhat low. This can be attributed to a variety of factors, none of which really deserve an explanation.
And so we're putting our feelers out for volunteers who may be interested in submitting articles. Though you won't be financially compensated for your contributions, it's a good way for those who may be interested in translation to "get their feet wet" before deciding to apply their skills in a more professional environment. It's also a good way for professional translators to take their noses out of monotonous technical manuals for a change and translate something with a bit more widespread appeal. All we ask of you is an ability to turn Japanese technology news articles into English technology news articles.
Because these positions are entirely volunteer, there is absolutely no specific time requirement or contribution quota. If you're interested in submitting one article per night, please contact me. If you're interested in submitting one article per month, please contact me. How much you would like to contribute is entirely up to you.
Of course we'll be glad to furnish you with direct posting capabilities (meaning you'll be able to post articles at your leisure, with no intervention from sar7501 or myself) and FTP space, so you can upload press release images as necessary.
I'll also mention that this isn't a "position" in the traditional sense; it's not something you have to compete against other users to get. This is an open invitation to anyone and everyone who is interested in contributing to TechJapan.
If you are at all interested, please contact me via any of the following methods.
