Also, you need to get a strong editor, or give the groups options to contact yours trans. In every script I've worked on I've needed to contact the trans, at least over a few minor issues. No translator is perfect, especailly when going from quickly spoke Japanese in anime, which means it can get very hard for us editor when transfering that into a lanuage just as complicated, writen modern English :P
the way it will work is simple, I'll share my scripts in exchange, for theirs, in others words if I provide my translations for say saint beast then I would expect someone to share their translations for narutaru. I'am going to build a public archive with translations. My translator is japanese and probably one the best translator most of these fansubbing groups will ever meet. I'am sure of my work and thats it. I have all the translations reviewed by my editor whom is also fluent in japanese, so the translations are practically error proof.
