==Purpose==

The purpose of this "guide" is to give a foundation and roadmap to those who translate and the larger ideas behind translating so that people don't get lost in the minutia of it. Translating is a pretty open field where a lot of different ideas as to the reason, method and arguments for different methods exist. This guide will follow the method that I have come up with having translated both professionally as a freelancer and as a hobbyist translator for 5+ years. Do note however that I do not possess any formal or professional training but rather translate based on my native background of being a Japanese-American that is fluent in both languages. My primary intuition and reasoning comes from trial-and-error as well as standards of methodology that I have come across in my years of translating.
