keep it up! almost finished :D

Wouldn't say almost, there are still a bunch of textfiles left, even after the update, I guess somewhere around 2000 :P. But almost all the pictures are translated, the only ones left after the update are the chapter intro's (and some pictures I found sometime in the mess, but can't find anymore, and forgotten to extract them lol). But it's nice to see a comment here that's not mine or Jasper's, then we know that we aren't doing just for ourselves.

Great work man! You can almost see the end, and if you need help with the translation or something. There are more Dutch people on this forum ;)

Alright, here is the update! Way earlier then I expected, but i got a huge motivation boost because of the reactions here. Now it will take some time (again) before a new update will come out, because I have my exams soon.

What is new in this update:
  • All introduction screens are translated, with that i mean the bag, the minigame introductions and the puzzle tutorials.
  • About 40 more puzzles are translated.
  • Some text fixes.
Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/
XDELTA: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/

If something doesn't work, or you see a (translation)error, send me a message and I will fix it!

That's it for now, have fun with the update!

EDIT: 23-05-2018: Changed the downloadlink to the GBATemp downloadsite!

Is the best way to review what you have done to patch the ROM and go through the game? Or is there a easy way to skip through all the frames?

Whoops, that one was already translated I believe, but I read all the translated puzzles too, and didn't catch that one. Will fix it tonight, thanks! Edit: aaaaaaaaand fixed! It will be in the new update.

Playing the game is the best way I think, it is possible that I made a mistake with importing an image, and that will make the whole game crash when it would normally load. Don't think that that happened but it is possible. If you want you can view the things inside the ROM with Tinke, since the game has some other languages too, it easier to first remove all of the other languagefolders that are not named "en". And then repack the ROM and view it with Tinke.

Hello guys!

Exams are over, so it's time for a new update! Not a big one this time, but now all the pictures are translated. Now there are only 3000 text files left to translate.

New in this update:
  • All pictures translated
  • Fixed a minor text error, thanks @Oleboy555
Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/

The next update will hopefully include more translated puzzles, and maybe also some more translated dialog.

And also, when all the text is translated, they only thing that is not translated then are the voices, but maybe there are some people here who can help with that? There are 2 voices needed, one for Luke and one for Layton. Would be nice if there are people willing to do this, so the game can get 100% translated!

As always, when you find a error please say it and I will fix it.

Have fun with the update!

Hi guys!

Here is a new quick update!

  • More dialog translated, i believe that chapter 3 and 4 are translated now.
  • Fixed a huge amount of typos, and text errors (Really, why didn't anyone tell me about it, it were like 100 things i needed to change :P)
And a warning, it can be possible that some sentences are too long, if someone sees one please say it.

Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/

Since there is only text left to translate (around 2300 text files), it will take some time before a new update will come out. And also in 2 months college starts, so I don't think that I will have many time to continue working on the translation. But I really hope that it will be finished some time, but it most likely will take a huge amount of time before that happens.

As always, when you find a error please say it and I will fix it.

Have fun with the update!

Hello guys! I wanted to release a new update today, but that is not going to happen. I tested some things, and found out that in a bunch of textfiles i made the sentences sometimes a bit too long... So now i have to compare every single translated file with original file to make sure that all the text is showed correctly. I would really appriciate if someone wants to help me with that, because when i need to do it all on my own it is going to take a few weeks before I have compared and improved all the text. If you want to help, please send me a PM!

Hey guys!

I managed to fix the most of the errors pretty fast, so here is the new update!

This update includes:

  • Almost 50 more puzzles
  • Some more dialog translated
  • A bunch of text fixes (there are still some errors left in the dialog i believe, so if you find one, please tell me.
Now there are 60 puzzles left to translate (around 450 text files), and around 1350 text files with dialog. So still 1800 files left to translate, it's getting less and less.

Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/

Have fun with the new update, and as always, when you find an (translation)error, please tell me so I can fix it!

Edit: and I saw that it has been downloaded almost 50 times! Awesome!

Hey guys,

It has been silent for a long time, but i can say that I'm almost done with translating all the puzzles, only the hints are left to translate. I hope to release the update with all the puzzles translated early next month. After that update it be silent for some time i think, since school is getting busier. So when it is silent for a long time don't think that this has stopped, it's only progressing a bit slower. Also I saw that the translation has been downloaded almost 100 times, which is very awesome! But I also saw that the older versions are still getting downloaded too, is there a reason for that?

I hope to be back with the new update soon.

So, the mobile version of Professor Layton and the Curious Village launched today, and I can say that the file structure is the exact same as the DS version, so that will allow us to translate the Mobile version too! (Or atleast the Android version). But for now i won't do anything with it other then some tests when I have time, the focus will still be on the DS version first. Also, all the pictures need to be translated again, since the quality is better and they used other fonts. For now, here is a proof that it works:

Ignore the typo lol, this was created really fast to test :P

Edit: puzzle titles are translated too:

Hello guys!

Here is a new update!

It feels weird but I'm also very happy to say, that all 163 puzzles are fully translated! Some things were diffecult to translate, so if you spot something that doesn't sound right tell me so I can look at it again. This update also includes some fixes with older puzzles and some other small fixes.

Changelog:
V0.75
- 60 puzzles translated (All puzzles are translated now).
- Some fixes.

Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/

As I said in my previous comment, it will take some time before there will be a new update. So don't be worried if there won't be an update in the coming months, there is still being worked on!

So, that's it for now, have fun with the update, and as always, if you find an (translation)error somewhere, please tell me so I can fix it! You can PM me about it or post it here in this topic, but I prefer a PM as I get an email notification of that.

Hello guys!

Here is a new update!

I know that I said that there wouldn't be a new update soon, but this one was done rather quickly, and contains the following things.

Changelog:
V0.76
- A lot of textfixes
- Some bugfixes with characters doing weird in the conversations, and a pretty weird bug were some invisible spaces made some errors.
- A incredibly tiny bit of new story text translated.

This update fixes the most of the errors that were left in the game, but maybe there are still some errors left that I missed.

And now for real, there won't be a new update in a long time I think. But atleast I don't have to look through every already translated file anymore.

As always, have fun with the new update, and if you see a translation(error) please tell me so I can fix it.

I need a bit of help, I found a last image that isn't translated yet. It's a button in Granny Riddleton's puzzle house, can someone take a screenshot for me in the puzzle house? It need to have puzzles in it, I guess more then 1 page of puzzles. I don't know the exact context of the button, so that makes it diffecult to translate it. If someone can take a screenshot for me, it would be very appriciated! Also quick update on the progress: I found another image that wasn't translated yet, it was a diffecult one, but I'm satisfied with the result. Solved!

As of text, not much has happened there sadly, but I have vacation soon, so I will have some more time for this then. But still, don't expect an update soon, if there will be an update soon it will only include the last 2 images that I found, but I think that that is not big enough for an update.

Hello guys! It's been a long time since the last update, but I'm happy to say that a new update has been released a few minutes ago! It has a lot of story text translated, but it's still not done. All that is left now is one folder of text files, which has some of them already translated. Now there are around 600 text files left, so yeah the ending is coming!

Here is the changelog for the new update:
  • A lot of story text translated
  • 3 images that were forgotten somehow are translated now
  • A lot of textfixes
Download: https://gbatemp.net/download/profes...-curious-village-dutch-fan-translation.33817/

I hope to have the game fully translated sometime this year, but I can't promise anything.

As always, enjoy the update, and if you see an error please tell me!
