ROM Hack Fire Emblem DS translation?

[Noitora]

I will update the links in a min. sorry for the confusion.

Well, when I patch trhe rom I get a glitchy mess that makes almost everything unseeable except the sprites and, for some odd reason, the text. While I like it in English, I'd reccomend sticking to some names that have already been established in the FE franchise. For example, Miss should be Avoid, Strength should be abbreviated as Str, and Skill should abbreviated as Skl among other things. Granted these are all small things, however changing these things would probably make it seem closer to an actual English release rather than a translation.

 

[Coppanuva]

Pardon me if it's already been answered, but is this likely to become a full english translation or just everything except the menus?

 

[ninja_07]

Would it be too much to ask for the frist one to be translated, theres already a SNES patch out and multiple gamefaqs translations for the SNES game, just needs someone witht eh coding skills :/

if someone dies in the game do they die for ever of do they come back in the next chapter?

Sorry, this is Fire Emblem, of course they die forever...

DAMNIT. I USE GOOGLE TO TALK TO FRENCH PEOPLE.

... Thanks for the translation!

French is not the same as Japanese but I am not here to discuss this.

"... Thanks for the translation!"
You should better wait for the official translation of the game it'll be a lot better than our fan translation.

Ive been using multiple translator and sereneforest site for the map. Theres this 1 country that is either Tallis or Talis. We are not sure what to use.
Also the word Oreruans or Orleans. Not sure which to trust translator or sereneforest

Talis and Orleans are the names accepted by virtually 100% of all the fans of Fire Emblem 1 and 3.

I'll try out the translation patch soon.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Interesting, but do you plan on inserting the translated script someone provided this morning? I'd offer to try inserting it, except I have no knowledge whatsoever as to how it's done. :S

Anyways, thanks for the partial patch, it should tide people over until we see an actual localization.

Just to let you know I've been messing around with the graphics so It *may* be possible to translate all of the menus (graphics) before the first actual version of the patch.

 

[Celice]

That script looked an awful lot like VincentASM's work, the guy who runs serenesforest.net... you might want to credit him if you do use it.

 

[dgwillia]

The patch still doesnt work , or have you not updated it yet

 

[Celice]

Patch worked for me, playing it on the SuperCard ONE right now.
EDIT: There's a few issues I see at the moment. Kain is spelled 'Kian' and Jeigan "JeigDr." Speaking of Jeigan, his name is tabbed over too, so maybe it's just some of the code or something acting up >.> Marich, I've seen more fans use the name Maric, but it's negligible. For things like the Silver Lance, if you can't fit in the Lance, I'd just leave it out at Silver, as there's already a Lance icon next to it. This goes for all the other stuff too. The Dark Mage and Dragon Knight classes leave artifacts in their names in the menu, as does Armor Knight (Vince uses the British spelling for... well, the reason should be obvious after that wording). You guys might want to use the American spelling. Cavalier also leaves artifacts.

I assume you guys are going to be using some of the American/European names over the Japanese, as Cavaliers are actually Social Knights :/

EDIT2: Julian, Est, Navarre, Abel, Kain and Jeigan so far have some issues with their names--they aren't aligned properly. I think SwordMaster should be Swordmaster. Iote Shield runs on into the next word--Light Orb. The Dragon Sword came up as 'Dragon Swor11' and ran into my weapon uses. Berserker has artifacts (no big problem, the name is pro'lly too long for the game to expect). Hauteclere has a '0' after it. Palutea has an 'A' after it, and Partia is a widely-recognized romanization of it. The Physic staff is actually Libro, and the Mend is Relive, and Heal is Live (I think) Rescue is actually Warp, I think. Thoron--I've personally used Torron myself. Dragon Lance is too long. Stonehedge and Thunderbolt are too. I should start formatting this soon... Laurence, I've seen his name as Lawrence more oft, and his name is also too long. Sheeda's Wind Spear has no name. Banuto, I use Banetou. Astria has some issues with is name length, bad placement most likely. Chainy has some issues with his name as well. Midia is too far over too. Thomasu is usually just Thomas. Wolf can also be Ulf, depending on how you like. Zagaro, I've used Zaggaro, but it doesn't matter. George is too far over. Laddy...

A majority of Fire Emblem fans all use Raddy. Thief looks cut off as 'Thie' for the class. Biraku is always a strange name--Brak works, I guess, but I've seen Villuck used instead, at times. Hardin I've used as Hardain, and he and Wendel have formatting errors.
The Axe Fighter class is listed as 'Sold.' The Priest class is a 'Sage' which is also wrong. Gradius, I personally prefer Gladius. Killer Lance is too long (as we can tell, there's some length issues to deal with).

In the Organize menu, you guys seem to have borke the box which appears, as it's now out of place, and also random text seems to be missing. In the class swap, the first icon is now missing (the list on the right of the bottom screen). In shops, the Customize feature has been called Forge by many fans instead. Bolganon, I personally like Volcannon. The 18 use staff isn't translated--I think it's a Magic Barrier staff or something. The 'Book' was originally a Manual.

Hope this gigantic list helps out a little.

Wierd...i redownloaded it and it worked, guess the rom was trimmed or something

 

[signz]

Wow. i'll give it a try. Please go on with it

 

[gillman]

Awesome, just plain awesome.

 

[Blazer]

Very good. I was going to create a list of all the things to fix but I became lazy and didn't. If you're looking for script, the script is basically the same as the ones from FE1, and otherwise if you can wait a couple of weeks I might be able to get a script translation specifically for FEDS.

I don't know if this is mentioned, but I am in the 2nd stage now, and I checked my items, and I had a sword equiped and 1 in stock.
Then I went back to play, and there was a "[" character just above the middle of the screen..

Anyway thnx for the patch and I'm lookin forward to the 2nd one
