    Icon4 Translator needed

    Hello to all !

    We are currently looking for a new translator to finish the last clans descriptions...

    What we need is someone able to translate and write summaries directly from some japanese online historical databases...

    So, if you're good at reading japanese and have an interest in the Samurais Clans history, join us !

    Good idea Zombie, but I would say that it does not work too well :

    Going down, astronomical ten year (1541) large 檀 那 as, field Mori sutra house source Saemon under tiger long duty Daisuke in source source 尉 Chogen name is recorded in the Hieda shrine ridge bill tiger length, Magozirou Masaru long grandchild help tiger good fortune has been visible even in the ridge bill of the same 17 year large 檀 那 as.
    Mmm, yes...

    autotranslaters do a bad job even on simple texts. I'm better than them, but I wouldn't trust my translation of the database (I tried it, but thats beyond me for what is needed. I think I get the meaning in 90% and mostly right, but thats not enough).
    You can try it for yourself, Firefox and peraperakun for the kanjis. Only to see what could be meant
