Who the fuck is translating this shit.

Sad week.

>>7998861
It's on TLWiki

Best thread of the week, etc

A somewhat bad week

Yay Milky Holmes is on it~

>>7998862
Says you. Only 32,000 more lines until Kimiaru is done.

isn't Umineko at 65%?

>Yosuga no Sora - 33%
Dead again.
>To Heart2- 56%
Annual dose.

Sup Koto. This week will be the last one, because I can't be fucked doing this every week anymore.

>Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo - Fully translated, someone has gone through all the scripts for editing
This was finished a long time ago. Why is it still on the list?

>>7998885
My apologies, should have been updated, it is indeed 65%

>Dragon Quest IV

Best thread of the week is here again!

Is that the PSP Little Busters being translated?

>>7999068
Yes. It's not the easily hackable and widely available PC version. It's the one on the niche platform that is far more difficult.

Are you retarded?

>Yumina the Wireshark
Fixed.

>>7999079

Well excuse the fuck outta me.

>>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- 64.7% translated, second partial patch out
What the heck? They should slow down, otherwise they will finish it before I become fluent in Japanese.

>Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni - 2397 / 8357 28.68% lines translated
Good progress, Ronove. I think it's more than a little ironic that we might see the first chapter of Higanbana translated before we see the last of Umineko.

>Little Busters - 91.88% translated, 90.25% edited, patch out with Haruka' route and Kud's route
Oh, hey, progress. At least we know this one isn't going to be licensed at the last second.

>Never 7 - all 113 scripts and 27 of 111 tips through initial translation, 13/113 scripts through final translation
Thank you, GundamAce (and your editor and hacker and anyone else too!). You've been working on this for a long time, but don't lose your motivation. That said, I'm confident that you know exactly why you are translating, and why you will succeed.

>Period- All image/UI editing complete, Miyu's patch released, game total translation: 63.71% complete, Rin's route patch released, Aoi's route patch released
Yes, yes, that's right, keep moving along.

>Real Imouto ga Iru - translation: 4330/16108 (27%) editing: 3910/16108 (24%), demo up
I'll say thanks, Koto, because no one else is going to.

>Steins;Gate - Script and TIPS fully translated, being edited. Unedited patch out, 2/14 early scripts fixed
Script fixing? So Blick Winkel is basically going to have translated the entire game himself by the time it is released. Well, good for him.

>Dengeki Strykers - Translation and editing complete, 2012 release
>Negotiations with age still ongoing

Too bad we won't see any decent Mangagamer releases until 2012. Well, Kouryuu, tell Bamboo that we appreciate him taking an interest, at least.

Why the wait?

>>7999341

Because they have to manually insert all the text.

>>7999293
Everyone likes reading about himself. The only reason to be buttmad is if you're jealous~

Osadai is in last checks hopefully for the final time.

They will probably intentionally delay the release anyways.

>>7999346
Let me guess, doing work in Word doesn't lend itself to insertion.

>>7999411

Indeed.

>>7999243
>I can't shit on you in my greenpost if you aren't green.
Sorry Anon-kun; we're aiming for a hat-trick this time. (Partially because I have exams for three weeks.

>>7999406
Well, it's only half a year late now.

The only progress done on LB is editing, the translator has been awol for almost a month now

>>7999555
Don't worry too much about that. If the Little Busters translator doesn't come back within a reasonable amount of time, I will personally translate the remaining parts of it. Not that it's a project I ever had any particular interest in, but I just hate to see projects abandoned so close to the end.

>>7999950
Fair enough.

>Togainu No Chi- 77% translated, partial patch out
After three years, so close...

>>7999926

Give them until christmas, that was their plan anyway.

what happened to Fortune Arterial ? I know the they get C&D but didnt they said they will continue the translation? they were so fast that i though they could finish before 2012 but now it seems impossible

>>7999952
/m/ here, first time on /jp/ here with a quick question for you Ixrec, have you or anyone in your group ever expressed interest in translating Okiba ga Nai! ?

>Yosuga no Sora - 33% translated
>Yandere - 19% translated

Sadness

>>8000059
Okiba ga nai is hardly mecha at all.

Also, that isn't ixrec.

>>8000090
No, Ixrec actually confirmed a while back on IRC that the !QIXaKKF7F2 trip is indeed his, though he doesn't use it very often.

Just like Muv Luv then.

>Steins;Gate still in editing

God damn it I better have this by winter break.

>>7999949

>77%

It's 81%.

>>8000390
>Rushed out to coincide with anime ending by using multiple translators and no editing
>All interest in project completely vanishes with two weeks of the anime ending
>I CONFUSED WHAT HAPPEN

Yeah. Didn't see that one coming at all.

>>8000664
Interest vanished because everyone has already read the unedited patch by now. Having read it from start to finish, I can assure you that it's perfectly fine, with the most notable omission being the tips. But even those were mostly just defining memes that everyone knew already, or terms that could be looked up in 10 seconds in Wikipedia.

>>8000669
Yes. That's how it always goes with popular games. Everybody stops giving a shit immediately and they're never heard from again.

>>8000669

Where should I acquire the most up to date unedited patch from? Archived /jp/ threads?

>>8001032
http://e17time.blogspot.com/

Google sgtools and nipa2, you will probably need those to compile the patch. There's also a patch for the few movie scenes floating around somewhere. Anyway, what you have to do is extract your nss.npa with nipa2.exe -x nss.npa and then dump the files you got from using sgtools on the script files into the folder generated, overwriting everything. Then use nipa2.exe -c nss nss.npa to compile it all back together again. Use the same process with cg.npa to add the system images. (But you don't need to use sgtools for that.)

Oh, also grab steinsgate-patched from here, I guess: http://www.mediafire.com/lateststeinsgate Not sure if that's the newest one anymore, but if you can't find anything newer you can just use that.

>>7999949
People are saying that they'll be done by Christmas. Translators themselves said that they're withholding any patches in case JAST shows interest but if by the time the translation is finished and they haven't gotten in contact, it'll be released. In other news, Lamento's translator said that a 1/8 patch will be released within a month.

>>8001193
That's nice. Also any news on what's going on with Sweet Pool translation?

>>8001196
There hasn't been any news on it since June. That last update had 25 scripts left to translate, which meant that 65% of it was translated with 20% edited.

When will Ixrec start Forest? I'm too excited.

>Negotiations ongoing with Clochette, would like to bring over Kamikaze Explorers

Suzunone Seven where? And Amatsu Misora ni?

>>8000059
THat's too weaboo BRO

Oh, Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - The Code Name is "Shield 9" is being translated

and I'm just now hearing about this

>>8001193

No reason to involve companies unless you are doing the porn version and want uncensored porn.

Well, you could call it supporting the companies, but as far as I've seen it just means it takes 6-12 months extra to get a game done this way.

>>8001193

>Lamento

I can't believe there are people actually willing to get involved in a machine translation project started by ESL people.

It's too bad that Sweet Pool got stalled again, though, it seemed like they were making decent progress.

>>8003527
I thought it was dead personally, don't know why it is still up there.

>>8005039
Because the group insisted it's still not abandoned yet, it's only slower than Jast pace

>>Negotiations ongoing with Clochette, would like to bring over Kamikaze Explorers
Tits Explorer in English?
Might be cool.

>>Negotiations ongoing with Clochette, would like to bring over Kamikaze Explorers

i dont think they can bring Kamikaze Explorers,but it would be awesome if they actually could.

>no Himegari/Kamidori projects
;_;
I wish there were at least tools for these, I know someone who is interested in translating them

Someone on tumblr is translating Hatoful Boyfriend
http://nazerine.tumblr.com/tagged/hatoful_kareshi

>>8000257
Enjoy waiting forever.

>Rewrite demo not on the list anymore
>Rewrite not on the list

Feels bad man.

>>8006353
Someone is interested in translating two 80+ hour games but can't be assed to even look for tools? Stop the presses.
Transparent attempt at "If someone makes the tools, I bet people will translate them" detected.

>>8006549
I don't know about Himegari, but I am willing to work on Kamidori. I just don't know how to hack.

And out of those 80 hours, 70 of them are gameplay.

somehow I don't think page 15 is a safe place for you to be, thread.

>>8006781
>And out of those 80 hours, 70 of them are gameplay.
Are you implying that gameplay games need less translating? Good luck with all those item/quest/menu/bestiary descriptions dude

I hope someone will pick up the Popotan translation again.

>>8009874
Can't do shit without tools though.

>>8009874
Still, less translating than 80 hours of straight text all the way through.

>>8010846
In some ways, it's far more.

If you are serious about translating, then don't bother asking for a hacker here, but rather go to one of the main translation IRC channels (such as #ammy or #TLWiki on Rizon) and ask there.

>>8011056
Definitely not.

Gameplay usually comes with the hassle of more complex hacking involved and tons of image editing which is a pain in the ass, but if you're just taking into account the amount of work a translator has to do, an 80 hour pure ADV game is going to come with much more text to translate than an 80 hour gameplay one.

The 80 hours spent on gameplay will inevitably involve a small sample of simple reused text for the majority of the time and thus less work. Whereas an ADV is purely new text the entire way.

>>8011699
Speaking as someone who has worked on this shit, you vastly underestimate the amount of work that is required for editing almost every single aspect of the game's interface. Translation groups have people to do specific image editing when most of the time all that needs to be done are the menus. Now multiple the amount of work by a factor of 40 and add to that problems of hardset spritesheets definitions limiting word and space usage, and having to clean the preexisting text out.

And it'd be nice if you stopped this utter bullshit of comparing them to an 80 hour ADV game. Himegari's and Kamidori's scripts alone are equivilent to a medium length VN without factoring all the gameplay stuff.

cool stuff

What group's doing 11eyes? I should also ask about Tomoyo After while I'm here.

Also, is the same group who did Rance 1 and 2 doing 3 and 4? If so, I need to give them some serious thank-you for going all-out like that. Alicesoft does great work.

>Baldr Sky - Translation ongoing
I'm not even surprised, how long has the translation been ongoing for?
It's been atleast over 1 year now.

>>8021017
And?
1 year is nothing when it comes to VN translations. It's not being worked on anyway, so whatever.

>>8021041
What I meant was, there has been no status change at all.
And no status change for a year then why is it still on the list?

ZING.

That feel when people are still unaware of SubaHibi and Princess X in the process of being translated.

Pretty sure Saya no Uta/Hanachirasu isn't going to be released in Oct/Nov. JAST has been saying they've been waiting for Nitro+ for over a month now.

J-List removed the preorder page a couple days ago too.

>>8025769
