    Tutorial How to translate Japanese games without speaking a word!

    Time to bump this thread. Too bad it's only visible in the 3DS subforum. This guide got so rich in tools, that it might look intimidating for beginners. So let me give a short summary of what I think are the most important things to start: 1. Extracting the script out of the game in text form...

    ROM Hack Summon Night X ~Tears Crown~ Translation

    I wanted to bump this thread before to thank the translator and to bring more attention to it, as I think this is a pretty cool game. I got distracted with other stuff and haven't finished playing it yet, but this game is definitely playable on melonDS (at least up to chapter 11 out of ~18). I...

    [Release] Luminous Arc 3 English Patch

    Machine translations are as good as you make them. The translation algorithms are getting better by the day. If you feed them with enough context, they will produce decent outcomes even for such tricky languages like Japanese. Of course, they aren't perfect and they will introduce plenty of...

    Translation Rom hackers/Editors needed for luminous arc 3 translation

    I'm pleased to announce that the rom translation has been completed and we have started proofreading and beta-testing phase. Hopefully, the rom won't leak until it's fully polished. If we don't encounter any significant problems, you can expect Luminous Arc 3 English rom/patch release by the end...

    Translation Rom hackers/Editors needed for luminous arc 3 translation

    Yes, when I wrote that I plan to "release a fully-translated rom", I really meant it. Actually, now I would have written that "we plan to release it", because without other people's work, the best I could do would be youtube videos with English subtitles or a translation guide. By "we" I mean a...

    You've got it completely wrong, but I don't blame you, since that's how it might seem to someone who's not paying attention to everything that was happening around this translation for the last 2,5 years. To be honest, I'd rather keep the low profile and avoid dramas, but now I feel I need to...

    Tutorial How to translate Japanese games without speaking a word!

    Good post, I agree with pretty much everything written here, since I came up with the same/similar methods myself (and learned a lot in the process). I'm surprised you haven't mentioned DeepL in the Translation Tools section. https://www.deepl.com/translator I also use Screen Translator for...
