Translation Helpers

==Introduction==
The art of translation, particularly within the realm of Japanese fandoms, holds a paramount significance as a fundamental and vital aspect. Given that the majority of our pages originate in languages other than English, the process of translation into English is indispensable. Notably, automated translations are susceptible to imprecision and lack of coherence in the resulting text.
Thus, the role of our Translation Helper team is crucial for ensuring accurate and effective translations of texts while also providing an appropriate contextual framework.
==Responsibilities==
What is required of our Translation Helper team in addition to regular member responsibilities:
* Translators need to monitor our official translation requests thread, and help out with evaluating text when it is needed.
* They should also be willing to help out with other translation-related work, such as context and quality evaluations.
===Notes===
Regarding works that have already received official translations, it is not our intention to assert that the TH team possesses greater expertise than the official translators. However, should sufficient evidence be available, the TH team may be able to provide assistance in clarifying any potential errors on a case-by-case basis.
==Benefits==
The benefits of being a TH team:
* Translation Helpers are part of our managing staff, and as such they receive a badge that removes all advertisements in our forum.
* Their opinions are considered highly valuable in areas of translation and translation quality.
==Appointment==
The following prerequisites must be met for appointment as a TH Team:
* The member should be highly familiar with translation and text evaluation of languages that are very difficult for English speakers to properly understand, and for which translations are often requested, especially Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. 
* The member should have contributed with at least 5 high-quality translations for the above-mentioned request threads. Alternatively, the member should have been of significant help with evaluations that are useful for this wiki. This includes translating important scans/dialogues by the member's own wish. It is naturally important that the member has performed productive work, as it will not count otherwise.
* The member should have been active for at least 4 months, with at least 2 months of frequent activity.
==Removal==
The TH Team position may be removed under any of the following conditions:
* Severe violation of the wiki rules.
* Bad-mouthing the wiki policies, or direct disobedience of an administrator or a bureaucrat in relation to site policies.
** Personally disagreeing with them is an entirely separate issue. In case of such a disagreement, try to resolve it via private conversation with the higher-ranked staff members, instead of exploding publicly.
* Inactivity for a prolonged period of time:
** Complete inactivity for a period of three months or more, without informing the administrators of valid reasons beforehand.
* Continuously failing to meet the requirements of appointment.
