ROM Hack [Project] Spice and Wolf DS Translation

[AdanK85]

Thanks for the tools and explanation even though you are busy.

Good job so far.

Nice to see that the OP did come back after so long, but a little disappointed that the translation was dropped. Maybe someone with the needed skills/know-how can finish the project for the Spice and Wolf fans out there (myself included!)

Thx to suruz to provide the programm and the translated text. so i will get my hands on and try to gert things started but dont expect much, it will take some time since my japanese is in the beginnings

 

[Psiho_C]

Could some please give an update?

 

[Exelvania]

There is nothing new, i still got all the data but my japanese is not near to a level were i can translate at the moment but it should be better n a year since i have japanese in the new schoolyear

Hey, if anyone capable of translating it from Japanese, I made a Google Docs spreadsheet where you can translate most of the files. If this gets moving, I will upload rest of the script. I will be thankful for any contribution.

Here is the translation project:

[AdanK85]

Interesting. Just to inform your doc is only allowed to view.

 

[Adamer]

I'm pretty sure you are only allowed to view the first page and change the rest of the sheets. I tested it in the incognito mode without a problem.

I might be wrong, so please try out other sheets and add some kind of "translation". Thanks for the interest!

oh is this some kind of progress update from where we are on google sheets?

 

[AdanK85]

Translated some but not much. Best to have an English speaking native to check/edit those lines.

I'm busy with my current project but I'll try to spare some time for this.

Edit: So, I did up till 350. Will try to do 380 once I'm done with my other stuff.
I'm curious if you have improved the tool.

You are amazing! To take your time even if it is a small amount! I wish i could do something to help as well :/ sadly i have 0 knowledge of anything...

Thank you so much Adan

 

[AdanK85]

Alright. It's done.
Do add the rest of the files if you can.

 

[Adamer]

Amazing work! I will do it tomorrow when I get home.

 

[Adamer]

I already uploaded a few files, I will upload the rest today and tomorrow. Thank you for your interest!

Adan, I missed your comments in the project itself, so I will respond to them here, if you don't mind. The "Chief" part was from the original translation. You are free to suggest other translation in the row next to it and I will use it. As for the format error, if you mean it being split as it is, it might be by design or the tool exported it wrong. I will investigate it when debugging the "final" translation. Thank you very much!

 

[AdanK85]

Alright. I think I'm falling asleep. That's all from me for now.

It's hard to type in google sheet, so I will type it here.
Yes, I'm aware that for a VN sort of game, there's likely to have more stuff left to be translated. Did have a go at translating some files last year but I got demotivated easily back then, doing it alone. :X.

 

[AdanK85]

Hmm. Okay. I'm not sure why there are so many backups. So, I am just gonna copy paste the rest of the files.

 

[Kuroiri]

I dont mean to be greedy or anything! I just want to check how everything is going for you both!

 

[AdanK85]

Been busy the last 2 days. I've to do some work on my current project (rechecking ~400 pages of lines) .

Will probably continue the translation on this one, few hours later.

 

[Adamer]

It's not so great. I really wonder if they were limited by the engine or something or if it was just time constraints, because the script is a mess. Plenty of the text is repeated, some stuff that could have been easily just one string with a variable is a hard coded string million times over and over. Makes working with it real pain. Especially when some of the text is duplicated for some stupid reason. I feel like I wasted some of you time Adan, I'm really sorry. I just don't think I have the time to playtest and babysit every string so you don't end up translating something that is translated somewhere else.

 

[AdanK85]

Don't worry about it. I ended up copy-pasting them when I found identical lines.
Now, I will work on mou_2 and mou_3 files once I'm back.
