Homestuck Translation Overview
The Homestuck Translation Overview is a page that tries to lay out the status for almost every Homestuck translation project, since the defunct Homestuck Translation Central Wiki simply provided a link with zero visual comments or indicators about their progress.
As an aside, this page was never meant to replace the wiki, since it was more of a curiosity exercise. I'll retain the translator resources for now, though I won't be linking to any of the discussion zones or the translations of other MS Paint Adventures 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.
