ROM Hack 0852 - Jet Impulse translation project

[thedicemaster]

as the naruto shinobi retsuden II translation is a bit frozen, due to unavailable text files, i'm starting a new and easy translation project.
0852 - Jet Impulse
i know it's an old release, but still i'd like to try.

about the game:
it's an anime air-combat simulator with plenty of content compared to other air-combat games(both PC and DS games)
the menu is already in english, and practically any other text is in plain txt files(tough in japanese encoding)

what i need:
translators, anyone who either knows good english and japanese.
or someone capable of translating google/bablefish/worldlingo translated texts into proper english.
i'm working on this myself, but it's a large amount of text files.
too much for my small amount of patience.

i have an ftp server available as workspace, and prepared a small "starter kit" to start working on this.

if you want to help, PM me with a translation of these airplane descriptions:
CODE????????????????
???????????????
??????????????AZX03?
???????????

CODE??????????????????
?????????
?????????????????
?????????????????

doesn't matter how you translate it, as long as it becomes a proper english description.

this is simply to see how capable you are.

note: i may sometimes accidentaly refer to jet impulse as jet impuls.
small language barrier problem, but i'm making sure such "problems" don't sneak into my translations.

status:
finished airplane descriptions.

Good luck on the translation Dicemaster. I hope this translation turns out fine ^^

 

[Hadrian]

I hope you succeed with this, I really enjoyed the Japanese version and I wish Nintendo would bloody release it but it looks like its cancelled for released outside of Japan now.

 

[OxyTech]

Hmmh fine ! Nice game ! Good luck !

 

[thedicemaster]

still need help.
the translating isn't hard at all, it's all just so much.

so far i got 1 person who wanted to help, but he didn't do that well on my little test.

with my patience and school it would take about 2-3 months to translate it all.

 

[adyum]

I wish I could help but I know no Japanese, and the translators couldn't translate everything.

 

[thedicemaster]

i use http://www.freetranslation.com/
http://translate.google.nl/translate_t?langpair=ja|en
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr
and http://www1.worldlingo.com/en/products_ser...translator.html
always atleast 2 of them have everything translated.

 

[adyum]

Well if you want I don't mind copy and pasting and making sure it makes sense if you want. Give me a PM if your interested.

This and Freedom Wings are the best sky simulator for DS.
FW is done better but with old planes.
This have wi-fi and bonus air-plane + sci-fi but the heavy text is a punch in the eye......

Please make a good job on this.

 

[thedicemaster]

unfortunately it's going very slow.
there are some parts that can be translated to 2 opposites.
and i'm still doing it alone.

everyone who is even a bit skilled at babel-fish interpretation can help.

 

[Dylan]

im about to go to sleep but tomorrow i will try getting some of it done

 

[SleepingDragon]

thedicemaster, I am so glad you are taking on this project. I love Jet Impulse and play it often. I certainly don't know Japanese, but I am a quick study, and I am looking into babelfish and other resources to see if I can lend a hand. I'll let you know.

 

[Ferrariman]

Good luck! the game is pretty hard without English explanation.

 

[thedicemaster]

hard?
for a game with such an amount of story i find it exceptionally easy to understand.

if you played 1 air combat simulator you can easily guess your next objective.
especially since everytime your objective isn't "shoot all red icons" you'll see a yellow marker around whatever you need to kill/protect.

I just read a youtube comment this is coming stateside november 1st..

 

[Kawo]

Project dropped?

 

[thedicemaster]

Project dropped?

no.
it's just that i've been busy the last few days (virus/school)
and i'm still doing it on my own.

 

[Japhle]

If I Had more free time and knew Japanese, I would help, but I'll just say Best of luck and i'll be off.

 

[Yol Morefi]

Ouaw, This is a pretty cool release?
I am working on Jet Impulse too, but it's an other thing :
Modification of explosion and oser stuf maybe^^

 

[Ferrariman]

Sorry to ask, But is DS air going to use the same engine as Jet Impulse?
