This is purely just for me to share my recent experience with a fan translation and also ask how did you guys deal with fan translations (if you dealt with them)
I chanced upon this website https://tl.rulate.ru/ where some Russian was translating my work without my knowledge. This isn't talked much about in the forum, so I didn't know how I should feel about it. I think my emotion can be best described as a mixture of happiness and confusion, I suppose (why would anyone translate a story that's barely getting views?). I wasn't angry or anything, since after all, this is the Internet, but I thought it wouldn't have hurt to drop me a message telling me about it lol
So, I decided to (not so) subtly tell the translator that I know about the fan translation in the next chapter just for fun. And wouldn't you know it, today I went back to the website and found this message:
The translation is put on deletion and will be deleted after approval by the moderator.
Did I scare the guy too much? I wonder...
Just curious, what are your experiences with fan translations?
