Hello there,

I really like your series art (Bananami) and i'm planning to translate it into my language. Of course, i will not do it for any kind of profit. I just want to share it with my friends in blog on Facebook. I will credit your name and also add the link to the original post.

Also, if you give permission, I would greatly appreciate if you would specify whether or not I need to contact you again in the future when I would like to repost.

I'm looking forward to your permission soon. Hope you have a great day, Gris.

I’m ok with translations of my comics only if you actually do what you’re saying, don’t edit the art and send me the link once you do translate it, maybe someone else would find it useful! :) You don’t have to contact me again for future translations, just please keep your word about not profiting, crediting me and linking back to the original post. If you ever repost it elsewhere let me know, I wanna keep track of where it is so I don’t mistake you for a reposter.

I’m posting this publicly just in case anyone has the same question! Give me a heads up if you want to translate my comics!

Why does Google Translate work better for some languages than others?

The quality of translations from Google Translate can vary from good to absolutely terrible, and some language pairs are much better than other language pairs. So, why does Google Translate work better for some languages than others? Zero-shot technology pairs Did you know that Google Translate can now translate from Uzbek into Zulu? And Javanese into Chichewa? Surely there aren’t many native Zulu speakers who can also speak Uzbek, or Chichewa speakers who can translate from Javanese… Google now uses ‘Zero-shot’ translation technology, which means that it uses intermediate languages to match up content, and that no translations between the source and target were necessarily entered into the system. For example, if English was translated to Uzbek and Zulu, then Zulu can be translated to Uzbek, and vice versa. The output is not going to be as good as for some of the other language pairs in Google Translate, however.
