I just published Jade Wolf 1 and 2 in Chinese, on 7k7k.com and youyouwin.com. Here’s how it went:
I received about 8 emails/PMs across a bunch of portals where Jade Wolf is hosted – ie newgrounds.com, kongregate.com, mochiads.com etc… These expressed an interest in porting Jade Wolf into Chinese for 7k7k.com. I wrote back, but got no reply.
A month later, I was browsing flashgamelicense.com, and saw an ad for youyouwin.com – they were looking to translate games. Anyway, they offered me $150 for Jade Wolf 2, and $75 for Jade Wolf. Both versions would be sitelocked to their sites, contain their ads, and have no links back to seditiongames.com.
I found them helpful, prompt, and easy to deal with. I received translations within a couple of days of sending them, and was paid in paypal immediately. I had a little bit of trouble with Chinese text (I’d accidentally embedded the font 4 times, making the swf file 30 MB! Note to self: that was retarded. Don’t do it again).
So are they preferable to the Mochi translation service? Not sure yet. Anyone know?

Hell kinds of yes, I’m so alive it makes my balls tingle. I should post the demo to Jade Wolf 3 soon, actually… It’s HEAPS better than the other ones.
I’m also learning database stuff and java, to make a platformer MMO thingy – kind of like Jade Wolf, but with HEAPS of different animals to control…
