Unimportant is there a way to delete posts?

Although nobody told me to, I have finished translating and editing all the chapter titles from the text dump.

If you need any translators contact me. My mid-terms end tommorow and I will have a lot of free time.

If you are worried about the level of my english, I did win silver in the national english writing finals, and have a TOEFL ibt score of 114 out of 120.

The korean text someone posted earlier goes something like this.

I'll just speak korean. (apparently because he or she is not familliar with english)
Hello I'm not a code developer living in korea, but
I'm friends with a code hacker.
Lets, (korean/English coders) work on friendly terms in the future.

Welcome! I suppose you are much better than I am. (My score is only TEPS 750..
Join our translation group and PM me on GBAtemp with your Google ID.
(Authority is required to modify translation document. That's because of safety reason.)

Link to our group is under this message.

Sorry about writing in Korean, guys. But it will be much better to give information on our native language rather in English.

bohoo, i cant read korean text, it confuse me

but ill be glad if theres a japanese localization (but i think there will be sooner or later), or maybe ill wait for translation..

 

[hutje]

[sightlight]

Someone said that there is Japanese in the game already, maybe they accessed it through a language switch code?
I'm not sure if it's true or not, though.

 

[donny124]

Is Korean harder to translate than Japanese? and what do you thing the overall % of the translation project will be at this moment, and how long shall it take because i want to play MS DS badly but i dont understand a word.

Thank you guys for translating.Donny124

It is true there is a japanese version
i don't think its a language switch code
from what i read it is not a fully translated/converted game
certains parts are still in korean (didn't bother to read the details)

anyway, i will download the game after i get some sleep...
this is the game id -> YMPK 5902E590

 

[twiztidsinz]

Is Korean harder to translate than Japanese?Well if you only read Japanese/English, translating from Korean to English is damn near impossible.
And if you only read Korean/English, translating from Japanese to English is damn near impossible.

If you mean 'Would it be easier to use the Korean->Japanese translation to make an English translation?' Then the answer is a simple 'No' since it's the 'telephone game' effect, where you tell one person something, then they tell someone, then they tell someone, etc etc and the message gets changed.

and what do you thing the overall % of the translation project will be at this moment,It's 5609234765097% done.

Be patient... There's LOT of work to do and they're just getting started.
It's not going to be done this week.
It's not going to be done this month.

It's true, there is a Japanese translation in the game and a language switch mode, but it's not accessible. In the hex editor you can see, Korean + Japanese + English "Choose a language". I believe the whole Japanese translation is there, just no English translation. It seem there might be an English version down the road.

 

[donny124]

will there be a beta version like that only the Warrior episode is translated or will we be waiting before the whole game is translated?

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Keep up the good work guys

 

[donny124]
