Homestuck Translation Overview
The Homestuck Translation Overview page aims to lay out the status of every Homestuck translation project's progress as the Homestuck Translation Central Wiki only links the translations, but gives no comments or indicators that tell you about each project's progress.
With the wiki's closure, I must state that this article was never meant to be a replacement the wiki and was intended to be a curiosity exercise. I'll retain the translator resources, but I will not link to any discussion zones or translations of other MSPA media.
Calculating progress
Overview
If your translation project uses keyboard shortcuts, please disable it on interactive flashes where you have to move left and right! Some of us use the arrow keys instead of the WASD keys. Thank you. :)
Translations are available for the The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, currently Brazilian Portuguese (Act 1 only) and Russian.

Comparing translations
Notable flashes and pages
Translation must reach 34.34% progress to be considered.
If the flash files don't work, you could try the Flash + Basilisk method.
Also, please preserve the translated flash files if you can.
Password system
In Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 4, a password system is used for a major plot-releated event. This is obviously a huge spoiler, so the passwords and their translations have been hidden in the following toggle.
Translator resources
- Translation Guides
- “So You Want To Translate Homestuck?” (Using MSPAF) by ASBusinessMagnet
- Removing Troll Quirks for Machine Translation
- Troll Quirk Remover for Homestuck - Chrome-based extension.
- Homestuck Bookmarklet - Japanese bookmark script. It mostly makes the webcomic easier to machine translate for Japanese readers and names do get converted into Katakana.
- Terezi Translator, Mituna Translator - Self-explanatory. Useful for Latin languages.
