Terms and Conditions for Subtitling
Thanks for checking out the new subtitle features on Crunchyroll!!
One of the reasons why some anime never makes it outside of Japan is because there's not enough of an audience to even recoup the costs of translating :( However, I know that there are so many great great fans out there that are willing to help if it means that others can enjoy it. So as part of our discussions with Japanese anime companies, we suggested that they allow CR users to help subtitle in return for giving credit to the fans!
However, in order to translate and subtitle, we have to require that you agree to these terms because the only way we could get Japanese companies to agree was to ensure that they would have the rights they need to use the subtitles. In return, we'll make sure you get credit for the subtitles right here on CR, as well as anywhere else they might be used. So if one of the titles you sub one day becomes huge, you'll be able to say you were the one who helped get it there with proof :) My hope is that one day ppl will help translate into every language imaginable and grow fans everywhere.
