Like I just said, I think your best bet is to find yourself a translator first and see if you can agree on their fee as it depends on so many factors like the specific work and the target language, and then you can calculate what you need for your Kickstarter.

Something like Kokushikan Satsujin Jiken isn't much longer than the average novel but at least twice as convoluted and hard to translate (and your translator might go insane halfway through). If you really want to have a Kickstarter, best to secure a translator and let them give an estimate, so your own estimates for the Kickstarter will be as accurate/transparent as possible.<br /><br />And as I also work with them myself personally, I'll also remind you you'd also need to factor in securing the rights from the proper copyright owners/publishers and the costs of that for a Kickstarter like that...Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-51350734082478277542017-07-14T10:12:39.807+02:002017-07-14T10:12:39.807+02:00Hi
