Yes, Kakaopage does offer translation for some of its novels. However, it might not cover all novels in its library. It depends on various factors like the popularity of the novel and the demand for it in different languages.
In most cases, fan translating Kakaopage novels is not legal. These novels are protected by copyright, and without proper authorization, translating and distributing them violates the rights of the original creators and publishers.
First, make sure you have a stable internet connection. Then, download the Bl Kakaopage app or visit their website. Log in or create an account if needed. Once inside, navigate to the manhwa section and select the one you want to read. Some may require a subscription or payment to access.
One challenge is the language complexity. Korean, which is often used in Kakaopage novels, can have complex grammar and cultural references that are difficult to accurately translate. Another is the risk of legal issues as mentioned before.
The choice of English novels, whether it was a Chinese-English version or a pure English version, depended mainly on personal taste and reading needs.
The Chinese-English version is usually easier to read and understand than the pure English version because Chinese readers can more easily understand some English words and expressions. In addition, some Chinese readers might find it easier to find the reading direction and plot clues. However, if you prefer the original English reading experience, then the pure English version might be more suitable.
Another difference between the Chinese-English version and the English version was the price of the copyright. If you intend to translate the novel into Chinese and publish it, you need to pay a certain Chinese publishing fee. In contrast, if you choose the original English version, the copyright fee is usually lower and you can publish and distribute it to a wider range.
Choosing between a Chinese-English version or a pure English version should be based on personal taste and needs, as well as the considerations of the publishing company and copyright fees.
