Translation [Release][Final] Nora and the Time Studio: The Witch of the Misty Forest - Translation Project

[SDA]

I know, such and underrated game. But now it's coming to the Switch and other modern platforms, very likely localized. I think that'll be the best version for anyone who haven't tried the game yet. For now I'll focuse my solo spanish fan-translation project to Aliens Infestation, another game that was only localized to English, German and French.

Ah, if this game is going to be officially localized in my language, I'll retranslate it to the official script! Yes, that's exactly what I am going to do when this remaster comes out.

Don't forget however that your Spanish is actually Latin American (because your profile clearly says that you're from Mexico). It's quite different from Castillian, so it needs a translation in both Spanish versions. The same goes for French: European and Canadian (from Québec).

Well, certainly there are some differences between Spanish from Spain and Latin American Spanish, but I think it's better than nothing haha
The list of games translated to Latin American Spanish, officially or not, has never been that large.

Expect a huge update very, very soon. Maybe even a beta release. More like an unpolished release version than a beta.

Thanks gonna wait for it!

Great, do take your time! I know it's not a walk in the park undertaking a translation project. Thank you for all of your kind effort and to every one in the team.

 

[StorMyu]

Good luck with the update!

Quick update with a few more screenshots, (this isn't the big update I mentioned before).

Spoiler: Screenshots

Thanks to the kind user gerb in RHDN now all of the more than 1600~ scripts are translated. In other words in terms of text scripts everything is translated as of now.
I've translated many more graphic assets. Right now the only ones left to do are the town names, board signs, and three or four buttons that doesn't appear much in the game, will translate this last ones in a future release of the patch but not in the next one.
Expect a more detailed update in the next coming weeks, as in the next following days I'll contact a few beta testers to help me identify most of the text overflows or misalignments.
Have a nice day.

If you could not use the japanese [ ], they're full width and it makes the ! appears way too far for no reason. (but that's just my 2 cents here, everything else looks cool )

Looking great! Good job!

Will be corrected, thanks!

Very, very promising, I love when a game received a full translation! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Took a bit more time to savour those screenshots and I'm floored! Can't wait.

Excited to try this out when the new update drops, great work especially for a solo project! I've never seen this game before but looks like a must play based on the art style alone.

The screenshots look nice and I'd love to play an updated patch, but when/why did Nora's name change? I assume the title hasn't changed from Nora and the Time Studio, so it's a little odd seeing the protagonist's name spelled with a double O.

"Noora" is more similar to how the protagonist is referenced in-game, "Nora" is how she was named in the few media articles published in English when the game was released in Japan and this is also probably how the game and protagonist names would have been localized if the game would have been released outside Japan.
To edit a thread title I think it's necessary to contact a mod, and by now I consider an update to the thread title isn't strictly necessary.

I've been checking every day for v0.2b.
But in a whole month no files were touched.
You got me excited with the "very very soon".

Beta testers haven't contacted me back. Probably I'll need to find new ones.

I can be a beta tester since I'm working at home. But I will most likely play it on Drastic Emulator if that's okay. You may contact me. I am waiting for this game to be translated since 2011.

 

[BungeeCat]

Still waiting for the big update.

Hope to see it eventually ))
