ROM Hack Pokemon HG/SS Portuguese version.

[Shady Guy Jose]

Hi guys. I've seen the Dutch translation project and I thought it would be useful to translate this game into yet another language (exactly for the same purpose as the Dutch one), so I decided to try and do so for my own language - Portuguese. Now I have no ROM hacking skills whatsoever so I would need someone to do that part of the work for me. Translation, on the other hand I could do (obviously, since the scripts are so huge, any help would be appreciated). Take note though, that this would be European Portuguese, not Brazillian Portuguese, so if you are Brazillian and would like to help, please make sure you know the differences.

I don't think its necessary, TBH. Pretty much everyone on this forum knows how to read English so.. whats the point?

 

[Shady Guy Jose]

That would be pretty much the same for the Dutch one. I'm doing this for the little kids who can't read English, even though not many will have access to this unless an older sibling or parent helps them. And I'm just sick of the fact that the most popular games ever around here never get translated into our language.

At least you get the game officially, we just get the imported American versions.

What do you mean imported? They don't sell it at local game stores?

Some of them do, but its all bought from America.. so we end up paying a lot for our games.

Oh that's crap. But back on topic. I'm still waiting for help offers and poll results.

I dont think so, i believe that they will translated to br, but no oficial brasilian relase version. also im portuguese too it would be nice to have all chatting text translated to european portuguese, although all atacks should be in english. xD thats my opinion

 

[ivobhz]

good ideia.

i doubt it will ever be released in brazilian portuguese, none of the pokemon games were ever translated officially, so why they would do it now?

also, i like the attacks in english too, because i'm very used with and reading them in portuguese is kinda odd. but it's better to translate everything, even if the major target are the little kids.

The games don't even have Portuguese coded in them.
You know the foreign dex entries? There's no portugese.

 

[Trinta]

ow man I don't think an portuguese would be nice,I think IN THIS OCCASION we should let the english and the other versions be the only ones and adapt,but back to the topic :yeah if someone is willing to help to do the english translation it would be nice

 

[Shady Guy Jose]

Well I see a mixed reaction here... Well if someone is willing to help with the hacking part I'll try and translate at least the menus/items/attacks (maybe)/item descriptions.

 

[coolness]

This is cool

Some of my family is portuguese
when is the beta?
and maybe can i help?

 

[Shady Guy Jose]

The betas will start when I find someone who can do the hacking part for me. I can take care of translation but I have zero knowledge of how to actually put the translated text into the game. It would help if whoever did that was also Portuguese/Brazillian so that they would know what changes they would have to make (putting "a/an" appropriately before item names in the J->E patch comes to mind, as there is the exact same situation in Portuguese, only with "o/a" or "um/uma" (male/female articles and male/female correspondents of "one", respectively) instead). But if I get lucky there will be a Brazillian Portuguese release like that guy said and the only thing that will need to be done is the minor spelling/grammar change between the two variants of the language (unlike British/American English, which are similar enough for both countries to use the same version, Portuguese actually has some differences which make it VERY irritating to read/play/listen/whatever something in Brazillian Portuguese).

 

[tiobarioca]

the brazil's portuguease and portugal's pertugeas are the same after the latest gramatical changes.

 

[Zanahoria]

^ Not really. And tbh the changes haven't been implemented in Portugal yet and we still use the old rules, and will do so for a while.

But that's not the point here. I'm sure that an european portuguese patch (or even an official release, rofl, not going to happen) would use the old grammatical rules.

I understand english, but good luck OP.

I remember playing Red/Blue way before I knew any english words and I did just fine, too, those kind of games are intuitive.

 

[Uchiha Obito]

As a Portuguese guy, I think that would be pretty useless... You know, we are already used to pokémon in it's original form so why spoil it with portuguese?

Really mate get over it...

 

[Master Emerald]

I'll be very sincere, there is no "ã,õ,â,ê,ô" in the rom, which will make the translation very difficult.
