It actually comes out to an average of about 150 lines a day, given a few days per month. This is 3-4 hours work if you actually put reasonable amounts of effort into writing something that reads well in English.

There's a difference between the density of visual novel lines and anime lines, which may be your standard of comparison here. Depends on the game obviously, but if you're spending less than a minute average you're probably not putting very much effort into making it sound competent in english.

>>10322781
Decoding a line should be instant. The process that takes time is writing the new line in fluent, natural English.

Japanese does not map 1:1 into English; in some cases, you may have to spend up to 30 minutes brainstorming to find a working solution for a tricky pun, for example.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322791
That's nice. That's relevant for maybe .01% of lines. You've already proven to be terrible at math. Do you need me to explain averages to you?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322781
I have been silently working on my own on something, and I guess I'm not fluent to speed through a translation like that, but I use a thesaurus in English to try and convey the actual meaning behind certain sentences. I spend more than just a minute trying to phrase it in a nice way in English and not just directly translating either though.

Well, that's one of the reasons why I work silently, that way I can't get discouraged by the truth that I'm just slow.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322781
you have no idea what you're talking about

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322797
The vast majority of Japanese lines require significant rewriting and rephrasing to work in English. Simply parsing the meaning is not the same thing as having a translation. The WORK of translation is writing the new line. The pun was an extreme example.

If you ever translated something, you would understand this. (I fully expect you to pretend to be a translator at this point, please don't even bother)

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322851
If you have to check every single line, then you're not fucking fluent.

A good translator looks at a line, understands it, and reproduces it. This is not a minute long process, and the majority of lines are small, common phrases, not convoluted complex things with puns and elaborate poetic prose. If you actually paid a shred of attention to writing, you'd know that.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322872
People who translate for the United Nations have master's degrees in the language they're translating, and get paid to do it. I doubt most VN translators have anywhere near that level of qualification. In addition, speech translations don't need to read like oratory, they just have to be faithful representations of the original because working people don't give a shit about that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322872
Actually, united nations addresses are usually

a) prepared in advance with texts distributed
or
b) use a limited vocabulary of stiff polite, political language that is actually quite easy to translate

casual conversation can be much more tricky because you have to carry things like tone. translating a political speech, conveying the meaning is all that matters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322865

I'm fluent in languages other than japanese, but I tend to think that you should spend at least a little time trying to capture the meaning of a japanese sentence into an equally poetic line in english, which can probably take some time. Maybe even a minute. This post took a minute or more but english is my primary language and I'm not trying especially hard to impress you people.

I think that guy is just bored and wants to get some shits and giggles out of his le epic trolling skillz and supposed grandiose fluency in the language, and just leaving anyone with a decency of logic to conclude that he is spewing bullshit after showing no tangible proof of his own claims. I just wish they'd stop shitting up the thread any more, we have enough as is with Cudder every time as well.

I personally keep a sticky by my workplace with the following note by Takami Kuwayama nearby to remind me every line:
"Translation is not simply a change of languages. Rather, it involves a creative process by which new possibilities of the existing ideas are explored through the laborious attempt to overcome the so-called ‘incommensurability’ between different languages. When successful, it is like transplanted plants growing in ways never imagined before."

You stated: "Of course I'm a translator. I'm fluent." This seems to imply that all people who are fluent in two languages are translators. I wanted to know whether or not this was something you believed.

More specifically, I wanted to know whether this was the case for you in particular, and whether or not this was how you read Japanese (actively translating it into English as you read.)

No. That I was fluent is the difference between myself and that person.

And I guess that's how I translate, but fuck if I know the actual mental mechanics. English is my primary language and that's what I think in, but it's like reading music. I don't actively think the actual letters or hand positions. Understanding is second nature if you actually know what you're doing.

You didn't answer my question.

You're one of the faster translators. If you have a full time job, then you are certainly going far above his pace of 150 lines in 4 hours, and therefore, according to him, you must be doing a shitty job. Do you think that you're doing a shitty job?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10322930
Can you please explain to me what's wrong with that translation? Sure, it's a very literal, direct translation (probably of something like "そう言われても"), but in some cases it fits fairly well. Why would you spend more time coming up with something that sounds more literary, but distorts the meaning more? The only case I can see where that would make sense is if a character has a specific speaking style that you want to keep consistent.

[koestl !!poJpHap55vo No.]

>>10323298
50 lines/hour is about average for me, actually. But you're making a serious mistake in using this as a unit of measurement anyway. Writing density varies wildly depending on the game.

For example:

We'd now spent a solid week "shipwrecked." Naturally, no one was running around like chickens with their head cut off anymore―
Our lives had taken on the repetitive, colorless quality of a long-running television show that's decayed into a pale imitation of its former self. The kind you keep watching every week out of sheer inertia.
Although we were thoroughly sick of eating, or even looking at, the vile plant soup that had become our primary sustenance, its proportion of our diet was only rising; the amount of rice distributed to us was decreasing steadily with each passing day―
And even the edible grasses that had seemed so infinitely abundant at first were vanishing with alarming swiftness from the picked-over areas near the entrance to the forest.

This is 4 lines

[Anonymous No.]

Thanks for the updates /jp/ and VNTS.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323321
Things like that are the exception and far from the rule, especially most dialogue.
The exact opposite is far more common in VNs than wall to wall text. For every chunk like that, there are easily two or three like:
…
……
………
ふう…。

[koestl !!poJpHap55vo No.]

>>10323348
No, that actually really depends on the game. Amane's route has a very long NVL sequence with tons of narration like that. And lots of Grisaia dialogue has multiple sentences in one "line."

Look at Oretsuba, 3.77 MB with 58396 lines, and Concerto Note, 2.03 MB with 85828 lines. (Grisaia's in the middle with 66715 / 3.73)

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323389
MB is often also an overcount too. If you've looked at scripts, you should know how shitty Japanese are at organizing things well. It's common for scenes shared between routes to exist in both sets of scripts instead of having a variable to direct the game flow correctly. Yu-No is a massive transgressor as far as that goes, with I believe nearly a quarter of the script being duplicated.
Many, such as all Alicesoft games, also have entire copies of every scene in the gallery so they can be called independent from the game itself.

MB is indeed probably a more accurate way than lines, but neither are very accurate for comparison between different games and engines.

[koestl !!poJpHap55vo No.]

I actually don't mind reading translations like 'even if you say that', 'it can't be helped', and so on. If you read enough VNs and watch enough anime, it starts to feel natural enough to be almost indistinguishable from normal English.

Except for 'puppet with its strings cut'. Seriously people, STOP USING THAT, it sounds really awkward in English and makes me laugh every time it occurs in a serious scene.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323644
And the other things don't sound awkward?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323693
Not to me. 'It can't be helped' sounds like a decent equivalent of 'We [or anyone else] can't help it', and 'Even if you say that, ...' sounds like a decent equivalent of 'While I do agree what you're saying, ...'. 'Like a puppet with its strings cut', on the other hand, is an overly specific description with nothing in English coming even remotely close to it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323726
Just because you've internalized the meaning of the Japanese phrase doesn't make it any less shitty a translation. It's not that hard to come up with something like "Easy for you to say..." or whatever depending on context.

Puppet with its strings cut I don't get the issue. As long as it's well worded, it's a clear visual metaphor along the lines of "flopping like a fish out of water" or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323790
Is there anything even wrong with "it can't be helped" as an English phrase?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10323809
Perfectly legitimate english phrase, although it has something of a "resigned, slightly formal adult" tone.

The issue with "it can't be helped" is that it's overused to translate very common Japanese phrases that aren't always used in that sense

- Grisaia no Kajitsu, summer or shortly after
- Higanbana 2, fall
- Irotoridori no Sekai, first quarter 2013
- Killer Queen, since it's very short
- Little Busters EX, hopefully end of the year
- Majikoi S, and maybe Majikoi if the guys at Wairu are willing to pick up where TakaJun stalled it (we'll probably never see a 100% tled Majikoi otherwise)
- Mahoutsukai no Yoru, end of the wor... year
- Rance 4
- Rewrite, this month or early february at the latest (GODSPEED IXREC)
- Rose Guns Days‬ - Season 1, first quarter
- Shinigami no Kiss wa Wakare no Aji, first quarter
- SubaHibi, end of the year (that, or Kirby drops it like he dropped out of school. 50/50 chance)
- SonaHana 9, first quarter
- White Album 2 Introductory Chapter, late summer (I doubt it'll be a "translation", though)
- Yandere, first quarter
- Yoakemae Yori Ruriiro Na, because I believe in miracles
- Yosuga no Sora, end of the year

I deliberately omitted games like Amaenbo or Hadaka Shitsuji because, well, let's say a very limited number of people care about those.

>No solid guess about his second project though.
I thought we already established that it was Soukoku no Arterial ("was" being the operative keyword there).

Your list seems pretty reasonable, though. I will add:
>Which will flame out?
- Aiyoku no Eustia. Well, they'll probably claim they're still working on it, but I kind of doubt it will ever be released.
- Da Capo 3. Aaeru seems to be dead again. Not that she or her "translation" will be missed.
- There are several projects up there that are effectively dead already (when was the last time KoiTate was updated?).

I also don't think IroSeka will be done in Q1. Q2 if we're lucky.

>I thought we already established that it was Soukoku no Arterial ("was" being the operative keyword there).
Last thing I heard was that his computer couldn't even run it. I'm not up-to-date on that.

>There are several projects up there that are effectively dead already (when was the last time KoiTate was updated?).
Actually, I've been following the KoiTate project since the first patch, and I'm pretty sure they will complete it someday. It's very, very slow, and given their English skills they're in dire need of a competent editor, but I don't think they will drop it. They seem fairly enthusiastic about their site, and periodically post translations for other stuff. They just take it easy I guess.

You're right. I thought he was doing Comyu first for some reason.

Isn't Taka-Jun translating it?

Nothing comes from him for a while. Doubt that he dropped it because he is so busy with his real life

To drop a project like that and without admitting it doesn't seem like Taka-Jun.

I mean, no matter if it's stalled or not, I wouldn't doubt Taka-Jun sticking with the project until it's done. At the very least up until he claims otherwise.
I get the feeling that he is a persistent fella. If occasionally stalling things is how he keeps said persistence alive, then so be it. At least it ends with the huge projects done.

I always assumed Majikoi being stalled was a deliberate action to piss off Miyako's fans

It's more like the route is made of drama so I can see Takajun not really being enthusiastic about having to grind it. Sort of like how Wanko was put second last, except worse.

You forgot about Rance 5D, that's nearly 100% translated, they're just waiting on a hacker.

Renko went missing apparently. As such, I wouldn't be optimistic about Seinarukana being released by the end of the year since there's no translator on board.

Renkosuke went missing apparently. Until the project find a new translator, I can't imagine Seinarukana's translation being finished by the end of the year.
