RESULTS UPDATE Manga vs Manhwa vs Manhua scanlators - 2022 Scanlation Community Survey
How does source language relate to scanlator behaviour? What about people who scanlate from multiple of these languages? Get some insight into this with some graphs and figures!

always amused when i find quirks of people answering questions too fast. the only language you're scanlating from is chinese and you're scanlating into chinese huh.

For the full analysis of generations if you wanna stare at graphs til your eyes go blind:

- ALSO I never shared the write-ins on tumblr haha oops. Here's that: https://cubari.moe/read/gist/cmF3L1BlaW50cmVzc2Uvc2NzdS9tYXN0ZXIvU2NhbmxhdGlvbiUyMENvbW11bml0eSUyMFN1cnZleSUyMDIwMjIlMjAtJTIwRnJlZSUyMFJlc3BvbnNlcy5qc29u/
the consequences of not properly planning your survey are many.... (<- has spent infinitely more hours cleaning data vs actually running the survey

Thanks to everyone for their patience
Working on the presentation of survey results now, around halfway done and with any luck out soon!
Hullo! Poll on whether the open ended responses should be shown raw or paraphrased!
Considerations:
Responses will not be shown lined up to any of the other data, so don't worry about that. Only concern is style/writing quirks and details (like people mentioning titles they've worked on)
Survey closing in ~36 hours, we’ve hit over 900 responses! :D
And if you’d like to help with data sortey stuff, kindly reach out, I’d love an extra hand!
Whoa a pretty high number of non-religious scanlators so far
lmao a rainbow of "other". 64% of respondents so far are translators in some capacity, which is super interesting! With how hard they are to recruit, I imagined there'd be less. Maybe translators are more likely to work on their own or stick to fewer groups?
To the seven of you from tumblr, I see you and I love you
This survey aims to collect information on scanlators to better gauge the makeup of the scanlation community. It will be open from December
Hi! I'm conducting a survey on the scanlation community to better understand community makeup and scanlator opinions. Please fill it out and spread it around if you can! I would really appreciate it, and I think it would be useful for the whole community to have some idea of who is in it and who thinks what. Info: - It takes 10-20 minutes to fill out - Some example questions the survey asks include: length of time scanlating, roles performed, posting platform, opinion on mtl, retl, watermarks, etcetera - The survey is completely anonymous, and any questions about demographics are optional - Results will be posted sometime in early 2023.
