How do other readers out there read the untranslated chapters? Do you guys use a translator or something? I know a lot of readers out there have learned chinese, but what about those who don't? USe google translate?
If it's a Japanese novel I would just read it directly but if it's a Chinese novel then I would use Google translate or try to look for it's mtl version on LNMTL or Comrademao
I do it all the time!!! Not sure if my language suffer from it or not... I even searching for new story to read everyday.. I used chrome with my phone since it directly translate the text.. Usually I also separately copy paste the chara name so that I can read its pinyin Once you MTL a lot of text, your brain will automatically filter unneeded information!! That is the case with chinese novel... But I rarely MTL Japanese novel.. For me it is harder to MTL Japanese as opposed to Chinese....
