About a day ago I put in for a translation of a anime theme song, Japanese into English. At the time I only had romanji lyrics. But now I have found some in hirigana(kanji) (I hope!). How do I get back in to put these in the translation page. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,
just click on "edit" on the lyrics entry here: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/jigoku-no-sata-all-stars-%E5%9C%B0%E7%8D%...
and replace the romaji with the kanji.
Afterwards you could click on "add new translation", choose "transliteration" from the list of languages and add the romaji version to the entry.

Hello again!

I just had a couple of questions. First, how long does it take for someone to pick up a song and translate it? And how long does it take to translate a song?

Just curious. Thanks!

That's impossible to tell. All the translators here do this as a hobby, so, they will only choose your request and translate it if they have time, notice it and feel like it. I have added requests which were done within a day, and such which I still wait for after years.

How much time it takes someone to translate a song depends on how long the text is and how difficult it is, and how well s/he knows the languages.

How long it takes to get a song translated on this site depends mainly on the languages. If there's a rare language involved it may take quite a time. So if you need a translation urgently just scan the list of users and find some who translate from or to the language you need and try to approach them with a personal request through a PM. I think it can make things easier. Good luck! :)

Exactly. Those translations I'm still waiting for are either such that I don't really care that much about or are written in a language hardly any user here knows (e.g. Coptic or Old Norse).

Ah. I figured it would be something like that. Although I would really like to have it soon, I am not DESPERATE to have it done, and I would not be CRUSHED if it did not get done, at least not anytime soon. ;)

Thanks!

P.S. Thanks for the advice.
