what encoding are you using? I cant see that.
I think deufeufeu need this because the characters are in images now, but he needs them as text.

I'll get cracking from the bottom.

edit:

edit:
alternative
ft[74] = u''編明…/~+×&*↑
seems they become the same when pasted in here I guess its not such a big deal

edit: incorporated zombieloves work into this post to have everything in one place.

your kanji #1 @28 was wrong. should be 導, fixed this
Now I gotta wait for my gf to get home to help me with the last ones i dont get

edit: damn smileys. thought i turned them off!?

edit: bleh. fixed an error mixing 挑　and 排

 

[Ricky_]

BTW, is that the same FFTA english font?

No. He's using the English font built in to A2, which is slightly bigger than the English FFTA font. For reference, here is a side by side comparison of the two, the original on the left and a version with FFTA's font on the right:

As you can see, the right one has a slightly more compact font [that actually looks nicer, in my opinion] and is more sans-serif than it's cousin to the left.

 

[warbird]

nice comparison. Im not sure which one I like better seems the horizontal size is almost the same though. The FFTA2 one seems a bit more stretched in the vertical direction. But thats about it.

edit:
Look at this nosoulx. All characters should show up properly. Change your view to shift-jis

Like this in FF

Outside of a 1px vertical discrepency and some extra width on i and lower-case L, yep. Although knowing how Squenix is if they do release it here, it will have a font that looks like this (Gamespot/com.com) It's the same font from Revenant Wings, and FF3 DS. I think it was used in FF1&2 and FF4 GBA, also.

 

[masterful]

That is a nice comparasion and the right size does look nicer. I also noticed that "Help" is translated on the right side

Square kinda does overuse that font quiet a bit...

Thats not too bad. I'm sure deufeufeu knows how to change the fonts etc, so we can get ourselves a nice one

 

[zombielove]

Damn, you're fast warbird!! Gf helping you?

I like the font that puts a space in "White Mage"

I just played FFTA in Japanese. The FFTA2 font is MUCH nicer and easier to read. Kanji is way too blocky in FFTA for me.

FINISHED MY ASSIGNMENT! YAY!

 

[warbird]

hehe, no. She is at work. When she comes back, she'll help me with the ones I didnt get

@deufeufeu
There are multiple characters that look like hyphens, that can either be "one", hyphen or a minus sign. Without context, its pretty hard to know which is which. If its important to get everyone correct, would it be possible for you to produce the contexts they are used in?

EDIT : I forgot to thank you warbird, but as you are on the translation team...you are doing a great translator job. It would have take me 3 days of hard work to make this list.
It's still missing line 32 trough 39 no ?
Btw you have to put kanjis betweenthe two quotes like in the example.
After I use this python code to build the table :

    for k in ft:
        b = 0x2000+(k-1)*10
        for c in ft[k]:
            if c != '.':
                table = c.encode('utf-8')
            b += 1

Text edit are done with my own program which can read arrays of strings and repack them to make some room. If you do it by hand with a hexeditor I can just give you a rope.

Quotes fixed, 32 - 39 will come up soon.

 

[zombielove]

Nice work, warbird. Wish I could do some more, but I just got home and have to go straight to work.

Any other projects to work on deufeufeu?

 

[NoSoulX]

Yeah. Ummmm.... Whoops?

 

[brn]

So uhm. Is this coming out as a patch later or what? I'm really looking forward to it as I don't really care much about the story, you could just babelfish it for all I know

Things are looking good regarding a patch. The only one who can give a definite answer is deufeufeu though

 

[Deleted User]

I've done a tool to patch the rom based on file with table of strings. It is really simple, but I will only release internally for the translation team.
We will release a patch when it is in good shape. There's no need to rush it. The game has been out not long ago.

 

[Ricky_]

I would like to think I'm good with graphics. If you need anything whipped up i'll be here.

here's something i whipped up just to goof around with. eyecandy.

 

[Kawamura]

>_< Eyesight = bad

Found only one new candidate so far...can anyone check?

ft[52] = u'??????????'

Don't do any graphic edit like this, it just time wasted. To edit graphic I have to pass them to you in the right format for my script to repack them.

Btw, the script editor tool has been released internally. If you want to have it, just enroll on #ffta2-trans to be on the team.
