I have completed editing all of the Black Cat komas.

it doesn't seem like i can't edit the wiki to update progress though.

i am working on Bleach next.

 

[geunt]

you just have to create an account on the wiki then you can edit page

BTW good work !

for translators:

please look at bl_04.png file. the image is from bleach. it's when ichigo confronts byakuya. if you can help translate that it would be much appreciated. =)

EDIT:

also from bleach, files bl_09.png and bl_10.png needs translation. i think it's just sounds or shouts, but it'll be great to have those translated too. =)

bl_12.png needs translation.

EDIT:

to make it easier for the translators, here are the images from Bleach that still needs translating.

 

[alejo210]

I already edited all of Jotaro's komas (jj_00 to jj_06), need to fix some parts though. I'll upload them as soon as that's done.

Well here's six of the Bleach Komas so far, More to come.. : P

I love your edit man ! I can't tell anything about the translation but graphically they look sooooo great !

 

[geunt]

GG romruto !!!

can you post the font you used for your edition ?

 

[BigBob85]

The thing I dont like about the translation, is its just being translated, not being made into proper english. (mind my spelling mistakes)

EXAMPLE 1:
Jap : Long No See!!
Eng : Long Time No See!!

EXAMPLE 2:
Jap : *unreadable text*
Eng : Something about using your "suprise attack"

I dont have my DS with me to tell you what level it was, but im sure this should be special attack.

Will all these be updated before they are implemented?
Maybe once its all done there can be an eng1 to eng2 translation, to make the game more english.. if you know what I mean.

*POSTED IN BOTH TRANSLATION FORUMS BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WANT TO MAKE SURE ITS SEEN*

Romruto:

what's the font you used? so that everyone can keep it consistent.

also since the frames are being rearranged in the game, so that some of the text looks split up but are actually connected in game. what's your way of editing?

do you rearrange the koma so that it looks like how it looked in game, and then edit the text, then arrange it back to it's original format (straight up and down)??

do you have manga subbing experience?

No, in fact we are planning to add even more mistakes in the final version. Moreover we are thinking into shifting to a caveman translation.

O RLY?

...yes I know, but I couldn't help myself from this little flame...

About komas translation I think you wouldn't mind if we use a little encoding ? We will give a color chart, mapping every character into a color and we will replace text by stream of color. This way we can have perfect english sentences as long as we want ! Or perhaps you want to be able to read it directly and then we have to get some tradeoff...

For all komas editors out there, I'm going to provide another dump of komas with proper layout and accept translation in this format.

EDIT: typo

 

[mixinluv2u]

For all komas editors out there, I'm going to provide another dump of komas with proper layout and except translation in this format.

by "except", did you mean "accept"??

if so, should we just wait for now? because it's much easier to edit when they are in the proper layout.


EDIT:

i did a little more research on font selection. i think we should set up some sort of process to at least have some sort of consistency. at the very least, it should be the same font within the same series.

the default for scanlation group to use seems to be a font called WildWords. but you have to pay for the font as it is not free. and some people are starting to deviate and say that each individual font should be chosen for each different manga. because sometimes it just doesn't look right with the style of drawing.

i think i will go back and re-edit because i think Comic Sans is far from the best choice.

someone suggested a font called Anime Ace, which is free and can be obtained at blambot.com. that's a website dedicated to fonts used for comics, it's probably worth checking out and browse through their collection.

dafonts.com and betterfonts.com are couple more website we can check out that are free. go into the "Comics" category for the style of fonts that we are looking for.

i will check out these websites tonight to see if i can find something suitable to use as the default for our project.

I'm adding others when I have the time. Keep the color space of the png while editing, and also keep the filename. If you want to differentiate the edited komas from the original you can add a "_t" before the .png in the filename.

EDIT : in fact you can help me, here's the python code reformatting the komas http://deufeufeu.free.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Temp:format.py
IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING you can fill the rest of the komas (Before making the edit be sure the script works on your computer with the new values !, I won't even try a non working script, as it will not really be helpful...

EDIT2 Off topic : If you want and if you are actually doing something for this project, you can set your avatar as a koma, this way we can easily keep track of people on this when reading threads.

I used "Manga Fonts". Yes I rearrange them to look like the ones in the game and translate them, then I put em back the way they originally were. I don't have Manga subbing experience, but I do do a lot of editing. : P

 

[anime_junkie]

I'll help edit the komas. Don't know moon runes yet, but I have manga editing experience.

BTW I call Jojo's and HnK.

EDIT: Just did some quick ones. Not sure if the HnK panel's the correnct text, but I remember this panel from the manga, so whatever.

Kenshiro is awesome.

Was thinking of something like "gimme a break", but I think Yare Yare Daze sounds cooler.

TOKI WO TOMARE! Yeah, it looks cramped, but it's supposed to. That and my photoshop CS3 is not letting me use a 7pt font. (halp plz)

 

[mixinluv2u]

do we want to use the same font for ALL komas and ALL series?

or does it only need to be consistent within a series?

 

[anime_junkie]

Okay, just did some Yu-Gi-Oh! panels. All except 2. I'm not very good at repairing pics with text like that.. someone else may have to do it. And 01 doesn't looks the greatest... still.

And I need a translation of this panel:

 

[geunt]

You only need same font for simple speach

but like Dio 8 komas the world ! a specific font is necessary

BTW the Koma pages will be update soon
