The World Ends With You: Final Remix allegedly stolen the original game's Italian fan translation

[Mewster]

*sighs* no, I'm not interested in mentions nor credits. I'm happy just in seeing the translation in the game and that's all. Also, Square was not responsible for the translation, but an external company whose translators weren't even mentioned.

Alright, sorry about that. I've edited the part out.

Thx It's that I don't know why everyone keeps saying that, I'd only like Square to acknowledge what happened, not me.

Have they already made some claim about it, or nothing yet?

Noep, nothing yet

someone already completed the switch game to see who is credited for Italian translation?
like you said, if it's a company name, maybe square enix does not even know about it, the company could have use your patch and provide it as their own?
I wonder how they did it, it would require extracting all the strings from a patched game. translating companies are not hackers

It's credited only the (head?) of Keywords Studio.
Nah it's not required to extract the string, just play with a DS by your side

After saying that to you, I had to look game play of the exact part I was playing in that moment. Now I'm pretty sure: it's a new and original translation. I'm glad I payed for this.

You have no idea how fucked the industry of translators is.

Some jackass probably found the fan translation on Google and decided to copy it, hoping to never get caught.

Let's not give them a pass. I want to know who was responsible for this. I want the name of the company or the individuals that were in charge of the translations.

Being a translator myself, if that happened, it's a deplorable thing to do.
But the translation company isn't at fault, probably. The outsourcer they hired probably is.

He found out about the translation, proceeded to extract the texts, and then went on inserting it to Keyword Studio's app.

But nothing will happen. SE did their job. Keyword did their job. The translator probably lost a client if Keyword knew about this, and they should.

These translators are not needed. Also, from my understanding the Italian language needs a few competent native translators.

You have my respect @Mewster.
