Rabbit Plane Pilot Program


About the Rabbit Plane Pilot Program

Culture Flipper’s full-scale localization process is well recognized for significantly reducing the review step on the client side through its multi-step collaborative process. The unique workflow goes beyond translators and actively engages writers, domain experts, and copy editors. 

With the decision to teach people outside the organization about its own collaborative localization process, Culture Flipper embarks on an exciting experiment to produce affordable, quality-assured translations for high-volume, nuanced content. This is how Rabbit Plane was born.  

Rabbit Plane is a guided community translation training platform where translators (mentees) learn to effectively edit machine translations for nuanced content such as web novels, digital comics, and video subtitles under the guidance of mentors. 

Its first-course “Korean-to-English Web Novel Translation” using Memorize by Ro Yu-jin (from Joara, Korea’s oldest and largest web novel platform), is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, and end on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.
