Gaming Sol Trigger - English Translation

[JamRules]

The patch looks great! Some typos here and there, but it looks great.
Now I know what skills should I use in battle. xP
Running out of SOL is incredibly easy tho. O.o

BTW, there are a shitton of stuff in ALL CAPS, is it going to be like that in the final patch? (It's mostly names from what I've seen.)

There's a lot of text that which will need checking and possibly replacing before the final version.
At the moment the names, special effects and some abbreviations are in caps,
might switch the names to lower and edit the font so it's more readable.

Stuff like LIFE and SOL are in all caps because that's how it was originally

testing it on PPSSPP(i guess on passing grade(need Buffering ON due Black Boxes/ va sound issues(i guess that ppsspp fault) but still the game playable

No problems found on this one while playing, i guess its same issues said by Kalker3 but still the font need to fix(maybe ask other guys(editors) on other projects on this site or let them inspect the font issues to edit instead manually by yourself (dont worry they dont bite...this is a good game to play)

Just as a heads up PPSSPP automatically catches memory exceptions which means some errors might be overlooked,
this can be turned off in options though.

The font file has already be posted on this thread and on another forum site.

Is there any chance you can upload the current and future patches to a place like Mediafire or Google? Having an issue getting it from the link you provided. Sounds like alot of progress is being made. A good year for PSP fan translations so far.

I also uploaded a copy on DropBox because that's the only other service I'm registered for.

Try to use xdelta, see if the size is better.

Thank you for your work on this great game, i will play it (again) when the translation will be completed

This game deserve a good translation, like Valkyria chonicles 3 et fftype 0 .

I can't wait for the full thing, it's gorgeous so far
Those menu entries though don't seem like they could be translated before the font width is reduced to fit in more letters than the Japanese eight allowed before text overflows/game crashes.

Thanks for the suggestion, I might look into it since the patch ended up quite large because of the switched movie file.

Yea, that why I've left it for now. I'll be trying to sort it again over the weekend.

Thanks for the second link. I actually was able to get it from the original on a different PSP browser. Just a quick question. I realize the translation wasn't fully finished and wasn't expecting that. But maybe I wasn't remembering my first run completely but was the video quality on cutscenes lowered? Just seemed less virbrant. And I had an issue with some of the rendered cutscenes not having any sound from the characters. Doesn't happen much but it happened also when I imported and played it in Japanese too in some places. Keep up the good work!

 

[JamRules]

Your right about the video, multiple re-encodes are needed to add the hardsubs which lowers the quality slightly.
I didn't notice any sound problems myself when I was using a PSP.

I'll point some things i found, many if this you might be aware but since i'm not sure i'll just post anyway.
Some might be intentional and some might be impossible to fix with the current font width. (bear with me)

Lets get to it:

Spoiler

Missing an e. If it doesn't fit could be changed to "Stay"

An "r" didn't fit could be rephrased to "After selling materials new products will appear" or something you like, translation must never be literal it just need to make sense in English.

"This is place is too quiet" -> "This place is too quiet"

It doesn't fit, Maybe change "it is" to "it's" to see if it fits or rephrase.

Something didn't fit here i don't get the first sentence.

Missing text at the end of the line.

 

[JamRules]

Thanks the screenshots are great, the problems all seem fixable.
The game has lots of little quirks, for example the first one despite the bar being huge it automatically cuts off text.

Just wanted to say thanks to Nico for all that feedback, it's much appreciated. Also I just now saw some of the comments on your site, and I agree that having a separate Wordpress blog for the project could be a good idea.

 

[Deleted User]

Thank you both keep up the good work!

I laughed way too much.

What happened to XenoTranslations?
I (JamRules) was not part of XenoTranslations so all I know is they seemed to disappear, accept for GareJei who is now the main translation for this project.

I think you might have meant "except for(...)".

Bad grammar strikes again

 

[GareJei]

I already corrected it. I'm totally a grammar nazi, lol.

Shhh, don't worry. Nobody noticed.

It's nice to meet another grammar Nazi. xP
BTW, I was wondering, who's that character you're using as an avatar?
