Lightning Magazine - English Translation

[kiya]

I'd pay up to about $60 an issue if it was all in english.

Also, for the record.. once you do get permission from EI let me know, i might be able to help with a few things.

I would pay $50 for an English version, but probably not every month. Less would be better, but if the costs were reduced as more people purchased/suscribed I would pay like $30 per issue every month.

thanks for your feedback. my idea would be to keep it as a boutique publication. will keep you posted on progress.

i would pay 50 cents for an engrish issue and 1 dollar for an english issue

Actually Engrish $1.00, and English $0.50. Engrish is much funnier.

The reason why I buy free & easy and lightning is because they are Japanese magazine about Japanese product written by Japanese writers. I rather read an American magazine about this stuff rather than a translation. If I really need to read an article I sit down with my dictionary and translate it myself. Besides all cultural references would be lost when translated.

Don't they reference American culture a lot of the time though? You'd still be getting a Japanese Magazine about Japanese Products written by Japanese Writers it would just be translated. Much more is lost doing a word for word dictionary translation than in a translation done by a professional who can translate meaning instead of words. There'd be some stuff lost in translation but that wouldn't really affect much of the discussion on different products and brands.

Also I'd like some American magazine about this stuff too but that seems much less likely to me.
