So, it's been quite a while since I started Ai's Translation forum, it's now time for you guys to give me feedback about how's the forum doing so far.
Do you enjoy the translation section? Did you try to understand the lyrics and learn Japanese at the same time by reading the translation other members did? Do you think you know more about Ai's inner thoughts after reading her lyrics? What can be done to make the translation forum even better?
So far, only CETMA, enlightened0ne are doing the translation. As I said in the introduction, anyone can start his/her own project even without much Japanese background using tools I mentioned. Of course, if you have katakana and hiragana background, it will make your learning much easier.
enlightened0ne has finished his Sakuranbo translation if you didn't notice, kudos to him and his effort. He'll be starting a new translation project soon so everyone watch out for that. 
I'm here looking for members who are willing to dedicate part of their time for a new translation project. If you are willing to give it a try, send me a PM! 
* Please vote in the poll, your feedback is appreciated! * |

I haven't really beneffited from the section, but that's basically because I'm fluent in Japanese!  Perhaps I should start a project! |

| If there is anyone not fluent in Japanese who wants to learn, you can pm any of the translators for explanations of the Japanese. It really isn't a difficult language to learn (much easier than English) so give it a go! |

The translation section is very handy for me because I usually like to take lyrics from an artist for my icons.
And i like reading Ai's lyrics because they are really interesting and funny ^^ |

| yeah, its benefitted me, or at least my jap a lot. before coming to this forum, my knowledge of jap was tiny. almost nothing, you could say =\ that forum has teached me a bit, i could say. understanding the lyrics adds some depth to the songs.. like neko ni fuusen, say. the lyrics are prety deep. it adds to the appreciation of the song =D |
