I accepted to translate Touhou Mother from English in French.
Where should I start, given I don't know shit about it?
Where can I find it, and how do I open it?

This?

You could email vgperson and ask how she did it, or for any specific nuances in language or whatever.

Translating a translation is pretty dumb, though.

Thanks for the link.

And for the translation, I know. I won't have an award-winning thing, given it'll be a translation from a translation, but I still want to do it.
It's all a bet, see?

Tell the person who wanted it translated to start learning English or to fuck himself, frogeater.

Why would you bet that?

Are you the guy who translated Dandelion Girl into French?

>> No.10392467

>>10392462
Nope. I just said something like "surprise me with a fanfic and I'll translated a game".
And then the other dude brought out Cirno the Strongest. I was surprised.

Oh right, this. Good game.
...so where the hell is the sequel?

Well, I sent a mail, and I have the script. I'll wait for an answer before I start working on the thing. In the meanwhile, have a Touhou Mother thread to talk about things.
See ya around.

It's stalled, isn't it? I haven't seen any progress in ages.

Is this game only good if you're a Mother fan?

Yes.

I'm not and I liked it a lot.

From the scrip t:
"CAUTION!!
It would be best if you've played and understood the original MOTHER games. Many spoilers are present.
From Touhou, at least know the characters. And if you don't know the story, this one may be hard to understand.
Know about the old ones too, if possible...
Even some of the battles will resemble those from the originals.
You have no excuse to call it stupid if you haven't played the originals!"

TL;DR : there's a bad guy and it'll spoil the original game if you don't know he's a bad guy.

I can't imagine anyone who would play this game doesn't know that guy's a villain.

Never really played Touhou Mother. Never played Mother either, so I wouldn't know.

If you didn't play, why do you want to translate?

Just go play Mother 2 and 3 first. They are really fun and they don't take much time from you.

>> No.10392628

>>10392617
Because I made a bet, and I'm French. I can't surrender to it, especially since I brought it on myself.
But to be honest, I'd rather translate Yocchan's Quest than Touhou Mother.

>> No.10392642

Should I emulate them, or are they available on PC?

>They are really fun and they don't take much time from you.
Uh...they're fun alright, but last I checked they're pretty long (especially Mother 2). They aren't huge by RPG standards, but it'll still take quite a while to complete them.

>> No.10392648

>>10392642
You'll have to emulate them. Mother 2 received an official US SNES release as 'Earthbound'. Mother 3 is a Japan-exclusive GBA release with a fan translation. If you know moonrunes, you can also play Mother 2 as part of the Mother 1+2 release for GBA.

If it's SNES, that shouldn't be that hard to get.
Thanks for the tip.

It costs an absolute shitton.

Earthbound isn't even that rare, but it just commands ridiculously high prices
