ROM Hack Maplestory DS English Translation

[chyyran]

i can see a lot of [/ n] in the dialogue. and it looks like it's google translated. just saying, im not hating on the translation.

[/ n] should be [/n] And i've tried google translating the text. It was much worse.

BTW, I'm working on a new patcher that doesn't use the DropRomHere script and patches without dragging the rom.

This will save editors time for the first 44 files

Ignore the translated column.

Feel free to edit it, just throw me a PM
EDIT: Oops, double post.

 

[somatosensation]

Hey! Sorry if this has been discussed previously. I've been playing the game on my DSTT card and it won't go past the name creation screen no matter which path I pick. Is it my card, or something else?

Thanks for your time.

 

[chyyran]

Well, seems like we have alot of editors.
We'll need more though, shoot either TehSkull or Me a Pm if you want to join.

Anyways, What's edited?
I'm gonna go edit the hatch dialogue

And for 0.04, I think editing those 44 files will be enough.

Who knows, I might throw together a 0.03.1 patch soon

And to all the other editors...

EDIT! COMMIT! THEN EDIT AGAIN! THEN COMMIT!

/rinse and repeat.

Was wondering how much % out of 100 is this translation complete?

QUOTEHow much was needed to be translated?
Stored in the game image were hundreds of text files, most were empty. Thanks to sightlight most of these have been translated into rough English, save for a few.

How far is this project going?
Again, thanks to sightlight the bulk of the work now is simply editing the rough English into something that is more understandable.

Higher than 90% translated. Less than 10% edited.

So its translated into english that you won't understand?

 

[notmeanymore]

Uhhh basically. Except for the fact that our editing team is doing great with the gibberish.

I guess I could do. But you have to tell me what to do.

i Hope You Guys Complete this translaction :3

 

[chyyran]

Ok, there's a choice you guys will have to make.
That is whether you want proper breaks, such as

Lorem Ipsum
Dolor ...

OR

Without proper breaks
Lorem Ipsum, Do
lor


Without proper breaks will yield patches sooner, while a patch with breaks requires fixing the break tags and seeing if they work properly, which means slower and less frequent patches.

In any case, we will end up fixing it, but if it's without breaks, then we might fix those late in the releases.

 

[JeremiahLoh]

If without line-breaks maybe you can just add the dash?

Example:
Lorem Ipsum D-
olor

...But personally I'd go for line breaks more as this would probably help make reading through the text more smooth and not somewhat abrupt.

I'm pretty sure that adding a dash takes the same amount of time as inserting a line break tag since they will need to go over all the scripts.

As for whether or not to insert proper line break tags, since you guys have been working on it for so long, you might as well take your time in fixing those line breaks.

 

[chyyran]

It would speed up the editing process greatly if we did not do line breaks, because we also have to make sure the breaks work and we don't have too many, and it wraps on the box properly, which means that we have to go in game and make sure that specific line of text works properly, etc, it would be much easier for us to remove all the messed up line breaks and redo it later, but whatever.

 

[notmeanymore]

I concur. Do the line breaks afterward. Get it understandable, then make it proper.

 

[chyyran]

I think we should fix and remove visible coding for a good 0.04

 

[bindu555]

how is this translation going?

 

[chyyran]

Well, editing is kind of in a halt right now, because everyone's on vacation, but if you want to help, send me a PM.
