Sorry am new here and was ust wondering where i can actually download the latest patch version....


Thanks in advance

First post almost always has the newest version. There are directions inside too.

New patch is out; the tutorials section in the library is now complete.

I just went through and replaced those hyphens with ellipses. (Searched for "-" on every script page. xD)

Oh god so many changes D=
You delayed the new patch by a day, lol. Thanks for all the corrections though, it's a big help.

Always happy to help (delay your patch by a day... xP).


I'll see if I can work on the newly translated text once I'm down with my economics homework, which is interestingly filled with PowerPoint presentations that are abundant with Cookie Monster images. (No, I am not making this up.)

Hi Darth (and everybody else assisting him),
Well i'm sure you've heard this before, but i doubt you get tired of hearing it so - YOUR TRANSLATION OWNS. Anyway, i just have a couple of questions regarding where you guys are going from here:
1) Do you have a general plan of what the order of translation you guys are gonna do things? Like are you going to translate random chunks at a time or do say all the library and then the NPCs etc.
2) Just out of curiosity, how come with your script you're only hanging at 99% for the cutscenes? Any particular problem with the last few lines?
3) I'm sure you get tired of hearing this, but with the custcenes out of the way, mind giving us a list of what's left? or is it just what's left in jap on the wiki page?

Anyway, in a couple of weeks time if you'd like, i'd gladly give you some help with making the english translations flow better or help with grammar and such (this post doesn't portray it in the most positive light but meh

). I'll post back here or message you.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
Jarop

Just realized that the new patch was missing the latest changes. I re-uploaded it, so you may want to grab it again if you wanted to read those tutorials.

1) Whatever people ask for the most frequently.
2) I'm simply not sure what they mean. All lines are in English, but uncertain lines are only counted as 50% translated for the stats.
3) I'm doing the dictionary next, and some of the ability descriptions seem to be missing information. After that, only the NPCs remain.

Thanks again DarthNemesis, I can't wait until I manage to convince my brother to play. I have been waiting so I can do the game co-op for the first time, but he doesn't like language barriers.

Well, it's a Japanese game, he doesn't speak Japanese.

Hey, I started playing this game before the translation was started, but stopped soon into it, when he showed an interest in the translation.

EDIT: Oops, my bad. didn't see that there was another page.

91% Great work DarthNemisis, it was just last year (or w/e) that you started this project. You should consider a job in localizing games

The game came out in February of this year...

 

[DarthNemesis]

The game came out in February of this year...

And I started in March.

One month late... Shame on you! ^,^

 

[multiboy2k]

I agree 1000% with Sa1amandra, Darth.

I think you should look into the process of how to get into localizing games in the industry. You are hardworking, consistent, and very very patient with people.
If you need a letter of recommendation, I would be honored to write one for you if necessary. I'm sure that i am not the only one who
shares this sentiment. You are appreciated and your work is appreciated.


Thank You.

Sweet. Seems like there's not too long to go eh, although those NPCs may take a while.

Let me know if you need any help with anything, i'd gladly help you with whatever to the best of my ability (as long as it's nothing jap).

BTW, im not sure if you noticed this, but i was playing in Act 1, and between the time from when you realise the cave collapses to when you go back to the priest (i think this is the right time of the chapter im not sure) if you try to go east to where the priests suggests you to go after you go visit him before you visit him, the text to tell you that you shouldn't enter that area yet is in jap.

Will post back if i find anything else worth mentioning

 

[Mac2492]

My best guess is that text isn't considered "cut scene text", but "NPC text" instead. The NPC text isn't completely translated yet.

Thanks to everyone who worked/working on this

I'm addicted, have a massive headache for playing for to long. Great game, and I've only ran into Jap. in the theif camp in act 1, wanted to know what tombstones where, I learned when I died from that giant thunderbird lol.

As we near completion, I'm starting to get curious... Will new patches come out after the translation is 100% completed? There are surely going to be typos that need correction.

We DO have SomaTrans, so user-made patches are always an option. I was just wondering if you (Darth) will keep compiling every so often, or if you will leave it up to the users to do that.

Hi I just started this game yesterday with your patch, the game is awesome and I'd like to thank you for enabling me to play it in English, it's just so much better when I can understand it, I just wanted to know how much of the game has been translated as of the 2008-09-08 patch

Go to the wiki (there is a link in the first post). The translation progress is there.

(For those who can't find it... The current progress is approximately 91.81%.)

Absolutely, I will keep it updated as long as there are changes to be made.
