I just purchased the 2 VF-1 variable fighter books (plus the 0/25 ones) in the hopes that I could get them translated. I know of nobody that has done it so far, hopefully I'm wrong and one of you can point me to some text file to overlay or something.
BUT, if there is no full translation of these products, like I'm suspecting there isn't, I have an employee at work who's wife is full Japanese and surely could do the translations. However, it is some work, so I'm sure some money would have to be involved. I don't think she has a job and her husband doesn't make a lot, so this could help them out AND us fans who don't quite love the game enough to learn japanese.
Question is, if I took donations for this would folks be interested in contributing? I'm not 100% sure that is legal (I'll create text only translations, so you'll have to have the original pictures/drawings) so please tell me if it isn't.
I also found this book, which seemed great, but I couldn't find it for sale: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/mat_vf1f.jpg Anybody know where I could get a copy for a reasonable price?
These just look like really great books, with great detail, but I can't just copy the text into google translate like I could with Polish or Russian (I don't have that key on my keyboard!)
Thanks,
