Pixiv on English

June 8th, 2009 at 03:28 pm

Pixiv is pretty place for anime artists and for those who love good pictures, but absence of English version of this site is really inconvenient thing.
I've read on Wikipedia that "An English-language version, however, is considered to be the lowest in terms of priority.", googled "Pixiv English guide", and found some translations, but they are mainly about registration and explain only Pixiv basics. Remembering how I was complicated with every new menu item or link, I wanted to make more detailed guide. At least, it is for my friends I would like to see there.
This guide includes detailed translation of Pixiv pages and script for Firefox that changes text of Pixiv menu items from Japanese to English.
Hope, it will be useful.

    I use this guide, thank you!
    A question: is it possible to translate tags in the script?

    It is possible technically, but it is better to don't add them. This script is very simple thing, and the bigger it is, the lower is loading of Pixiv pages. There are tons of tags...
    Also, new tags appear every now and then, so tracking them all would be real pain.

    To say the truth, it isn't my idea. This script was written by my friend for himself to make Pixiv browsing easier, I just suggest him to share this. But he doesn't have a site or blog, and refused from credit.
    Hope, he reads these comments )

    For some reason, it won't translate the menu into English. I've cleared my cache, cookies, browsing history, etc., reinstalled the script, restarted Firefox, refreshing the browser, reinputting the sites, turning Greasemonkey on and off, but nothing seems to work. Maybe it's a problem with Greasemonkey itself? Many thanks if you can help me solve this!

    Ok, nevermind, I'm stupid. Had to register/login before the script would work. I was wondering if that was the case but forgot to do it before I asked.

    Thanks so much to your friend for this!
