Sorry, my PC has problem and it is not working now. But all data are there. So, after it is fixed, I will have to insert more data in the PAK.

I don't understand what you mean by the last sentence but if I understand it correctly, I take the data from the sheet and put it in the PAK.
So, the only thing needed is Gmail Account (Google Account to access Drive) since I put the translation sheet there + translation skills.

If you have anyone to help, send me a PM. I usually use my Phone or iPad to check the forum daily.

Thanks

Hope it's not too expensive to fix your PC man.

How much time will take to repair the PC? (to yugix)

No its not expensive at all.

Not much, it will take about 1 week. But I'm too lazy to do it

I was wondering how long it would be, after, you get your computer fixed before this translation patch is finished?

I can't estimate since the translation of the Story is unfinished. I need more help since there is no one doing it.

As a speaker of several languages (not Japanese yet) and long time watcher of this and the previous thread, I have some (purely constructive) suggestions:


There are so many Japanese-English bilinguals online who could be interested in this, (quick google search):

http://www.meetup.com/jetoastmasters/members/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/272467342855722/



Translations require personal interpretation, 'perfect translations' just don't exist and the quality of a translation depends only on the person doing it, whether or not online translators are used.

With an English synopsis, using the video context and many online translators as a guide I subtitled a Japanese anime; it's not 'accurate', but it's a readable and creative interpretation (not a brainless copy and paste job) which fits the story very well - isn't that really all that's necessary here?

I know this is your project so I'm not demanding anything, but it might be something to (re)consider since you need more help. Awesome job so far!

Japanese is a hard language to learn, there are subtle differences between the meanings of a single word only someone who knows well the japanese language can understand, so (as I think it was stated at some point in the thread) online translators are not an option...
I think we'll just have to wait for as long as it takes D:

I'm hoping for an exact translation, myself. I don't want just the gist of what's going on. That's what excited me most about this project; I wasn't just going to get a garbled idea of the story like I do in officially localized games. Now, I'm a member of a large Digimon forum. We aren't aloud to discuss roms there, regardless of legality, but I can ask around in private messages to see if any translators there would be interested in helping. I can't promise results, but it's a start.

As far as I can tell from their post, they were saying that there are people you could contact online that would be interested in helping to translate this, not that there are online translators.

 

[Defiledhero]

Can't wait to see the finished product, good luck.

You can't post ROMS on this site. Remove the link before you get a warn.

 

[DarkX131]

Oops....didn't know that.....I thought it would be helpful

Please hurry up and finish the translation...... Can't wait...

This has been mentioned hundreds of times here. Do NOT rush them. Everybody working on the project has a social life they have to get to, it's not like they're here 24/7. You should read the front page.

I mentioned it 10000000000000000 times, there is actually no one right now who translate the story. My knowledge in Japanese is not that much so I can't translate story.
So, if you think we are "slow", try to do something productive and bring someone who can help or wait.

 

[ocardman]

i have a japenese friend who speaks really good English who could help translating

1. Have them sign up.
2. Have them PM Yugix with a show of their skills
3. Make sure they prove they're trustworthy
4. Profit

 

[raulpica]

DarkX131 do _NOT_ harass the translators. It'll be done WHEN it's done.
