I’ve started wondering… Is it efficient to translate via translation-tools such as bing-translate or google translate? I heard that the meaning of words in japanse will change based on context… How do u translate? Via Tools or dod u learn it? And does proofreading mean reading the Orginal & Translation or the trans. And fixing the grammar &co?

It can be effective to use Google translate, Bing translator, and other machine translation programs, if you know the basics of how they operate. Most of them simply smash together the first definition of the word and give you a sentence ignoring all the grammars differences existed in the original language. One word/character(text) in Japanese most of the times hold many different meanings, and yes it all depend on the context where it is uses. I translate using my prior knowledge of Japanese by taking one year course in University, and also with the help of http://nihongo.j-talk.com/ This site convert the text into Romanji which is so much better to work with and at the same time, provide me with the definition to the vocabs I’m lacking in.
Proofreading do not require someone to read the original text and compare it with the translated text. However, what it means to me is getting “my” editors to edits it for grammars, typos, and over all, making sure the story flow well.

Bing and google might, and i stress the “might” “maybe” “potencially”, give a somewhat readable result, but if you have (very) little or no knowlegde at all of japanese, ATLAS is much better. Translator aggregator + atlas + jparsec + mecab for best results.
