Translating Gunnerkrigg to portuguese, need some advices.

[Husky☿]

Hello guys, I've started reading Tom's comic after a competition for Top webcomic (The whole finals against Goblins Comic.) And since then, I'm enjoying the comic so much, that I wanted to share it with friends.

But there is a problem, most of my friends don't know english well enough to understand the comic, or it's too tiresome for them. Then I started a little project of translating it to portuguese, and well, why not spread Tom's work? My aim would be to spread GK to people who can't read it as it is now, but I've run into a few problems.

1st - I want to know if it's okay from Tom's part if I translate and upload it somewhere.

2nd - If yes, where would be a good place to upload them? I've been "secretly" uploading the few pages I've done into a facebook page I created, but it simply doesn't feels right reading it there.

Thank you in advance, Husky.

I'm pretty sure it would be amazing for you to do that

Hello Husky!

I'm sure Tom would be fine with it. You could always email him.

Husky, I know this isn't the board to do it, but I rate your avatar a 10/10.
The picture is absolutely beauteous and owlful. (Making fun of words aside, it's a matter of personal taste.)

If you could manage to persuade Tom, maybe you have an entire sub-forum for your translation pages!
That way, there'll be a place where all devoted fans can upload their translations too!

Would his e-mail be this one: [e-mail] ?

Thank you guys again. c:

That email is the website developer's.

Oh, thank you very much kind sir.

I asked Tom once for the exact same reason (I'm translating it in french, but for personal use only : my husband isn't comfortable at all at reading in english), and... I think I didn't asked via the right media, because I didn't receive any answer for that. ^^" So if you have an answer, please share it ! :3

I was hoping to give Tom all my work after the end, free to him to do what he want with it. So...

I have the exact same problem with my friends. Why you no read english, people?!

[Gulby]

For my husband, because he is partly deaf and it was hard for him to learn english at all. He has kind of a blockage here. And plus, I LOVE to translate articles and stuff from english to french. Way more easy than the reverse, for me. xD

I'm really sorry for your husband. I wish you both the greatest strength to overcome the obstacles it makes!
Oh dang now I want to translate GKC to Vietnamese.

I think there were some efforts in this direction a while back.
Here, dug them up.

Might be helpful

hmm, I'm learning French at the moment (my girlfriend is French) so id be interested in that!

[Gulby]

Waaaah ! Huh... I don't know if it worth to be read, plus there are some typos in the early pages, but I've lost my files due to a computer crash, I only have the .png results for the chapters 1 to 18, I think, and the font I've used isn't the same (I found the same but it has no french accents and no capital letters, that was confusing), and Tom never answered (for what I know) if it bother him or not... And... @_@ 'You sure ?... And I'm really really slow... I'm only at the 20th chapter so far, even though I started to translate it three years ago... (with one year long pause, but still)

I've took a deeper look at the thread, and back on 2008 a member said they would translate to portuguese, but never created a related thread.

As it seems no one is doing it.

Thanks for the help! c:

English lessons at school are pretty weak here, or you pay to get lessons outside of the school, or you learn it by yourself. It really sucks. :I

Hey Husky, I'm a fellow Portuguese speaker, do you want help translating?
