Hey DarthNemesis. I started doing some translations inside your wiki trans and I'd like to know what you think about calling "Corps" as "Cores" as:
-they can be called the core of the group, since they are buffers, healers AND tanks;
-it is a closer romanization.

BTW, didn't you get any errors during the save or back to title screen after recompiling the game? After some translations, mine always locked on those screens.

Well, see you around.

[GeekyGuy]

How far are you planning on taking this translation? Just curious if we should expect a somewhat full dialogue translation in the future.

Thanks

[Gokuroro]

Not an official answer as I'm not the leader of that translation (or any translation, for the matter), but the last update I saw, Darth Nemesis still haven't found where the dialog texts were.
And IMO, it should be pretty bad to translate it, since you have to deal with a LOT of line changing and other stuff.

We can just hope someone will have pacience enough for that. >.<

[bunnybreaker]

SWEET!

I shall be translating later today or tomorrow.

[GeekyGuy]

Well, an "open" translation definitely seems like the way to go. No disrespect to anyone who has and will be putting hard work into various translations, but having a Wiki-style process would seem the faster, more effective process. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.

[bunnybreaker]

Damn, there is a lot already translated. Is everything in the wiki now in your patch? It seems (so far) that everything I could translate has already been done.

Thanks.

[Artheido]

Does this project intend to translate the entire dialogue? I realised there's no point to an RPG if you don't know what's going on... I would help out but I can't read Japanese >.< I can only understand it partially (take classes).

Thanks a lot, Nemesis.

[DarthNemesis]

Thanks for your interest. Yes, I did find the dialogue and probably any other missing lines, but it's in a huge (2mb) file that I'm still looking into how to repackage. I'm not sure I want to commit to doing all of the dialogue personally, but I certainly intend to get the program working with that file and put the lines up on the wiki.

Hey thx a lot!
deufeufeu seemed to stop his translation so im gonna try yours^^
But is your translation newer than deufeufeus?
I mean the Weapon Names,Menu and so on?

You're doing great Darth, I'll just follow your translation close from now on.

I would love to lend a hand, alas, no Japanese skills whatsoever. Haha. In any case, good to see (another) Soma Bringer translation. Best of luck, and thanks to everyone helping to translate such a fun game. :]
