[00:07] <herkz> no

[00:07] <myhandle> or ever heard what English sounds like
[00:07] <myhandle> apparently
[00:07] <herkz> i think speaking/hearing/reading it is way different than writing it
[00:07] <myhandle> probably
[00:07] <herkz> i guess it's not just writing it either

[00:08] <Wahfuu> mahoyo isn't something that would be easy to translate anyways
[00:08] <Moogy> the sample scene he posted on his blog is unusable
[00:08] <LostProperty771> mahoyo isn't the easiest thing to translate either
[00:08] <Moogy> i would just retranslate it completely at that point
[00:08] <koestl> idk herkz it looked pretty bad from that sample
[00:08] <Moogy> it pretty much fucked up every line completely
[00:08] <myhandle> I literally retranslated parts of the sample script because of how garbled it was
[00:08] <herkz> well you guys can look forward to someone else translating it in never apparently
[00:08] <myhandle> it's probably better that I'm not the editor lol
[00:09] <herkz> also at this rate we probably won't be releasing it anyway since no editor!

It's just obviously written by someone who doesn't speak English fluently. He doesn't have a great grasp on sentence structure. Everything is confusing.

Like, what does this even mean:

"Guy-cooking is basically a [ruby text=recipe]one for only [ruby text=single guy]one kind of abnormal skill."

In general, he's not splitting up the Japanese sentences into multiple English ones to make them comprehensible, so you get piles of spaghetti like this:

"The fusion of Chinese Chippendale style, which incorporates Chinese style of beauty, and the Georgian style, which is stylish yet preserving the English tradition, is so much so that, even making Aoko, a commoner, to swear, ‘I should refrain myself of acting non-aristocratically.’"

I don't know if it's completely unsalvageable, but you'd need a lot of intensive editing

>>12184615
Let's say it takes 1 hour to translate 2kb of text. That makes this a 500 hour project. 2kb is about 30 lines, so that's a pace of about 1 line/2 minutes. Even a retarded monkey looking up every single word can do that. But let's make the math even easier and add on another 200 hours of buffer time in case they actually are retarded monkeys.

We're now at calling this a 700 hour project for the translator (again, a gross overestimation) for $14,000+, which works out to a $20/hour. Since you're saying this is their livable wage, let's say they're putting in a 40 hour week working on it. Wait, nah. Let's say they're putting in 30 hours and spending the remaining 10 hours jacking off. They'll finish in just over 5 months.

And now I can refine my estimation. If that's a typical line as you claim, you'd only have to translate 15 lines an hour. If you can translate that line in under 5 minutes, you're good enough to earn $20+ an hour!

If someone believes that you have to maintain the same sentence structure right down to the punctuation, then they do not understand Japanese or English and have no business translating.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12184717
How did I imply that? I thought exactly about splitting up sentences so it wouldn't be a single one filled with all the information, like the original was (which in case works for the japanese language). This transition seems for me that it would be the most annoying part, because there is no complex grammar or any kind of vocabulary that would need localization whatsoever there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12184720
Because it's commonplace and practically a day one lesson. The concept of "have to" is something that they should be doing as a matter of course and is a natural part of translating, not anything special requiring any more or less effort than usual.

Unless, of course, you're splitting everything up into isolated chunks by punctuation, translating them in isolation, and then trying to stick them back together. The Ixrec method.

If splitting up sentences is something natural for a translator, then I can't help but imagine WEE wouldn't be hard at all for a decent one to go through.

2kb is about 30 lines ??? Even with how involved and deep his wording is one hour is about 100ish lines to 150ish lines depending on... well mood.

One line should take about 15-20 seconds unless he's looking up each line.

There are a lot of dumb assumptions flying around in this thread, but all I'm going to say is that frequently the short, simple lines are the hardest ones to translate in a way that doesn't sound completely retarded in English. Assuming you know Japanese (which you'd better if you're trying to translate), complex lines don't in and of themselves cause any problems, incompatibilities between the two languages do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12184732
Yeah, that retard has no idea what is he talking about.
I've just checked, 2kb of AIR script yields about 120 lines in average. 2kb of euphoria script yields 70-100 lines in average. 100 lines for MLA, 80 lines for Kuro Inu.

Its definitely harder. Daitoshokan is dumb moege, I didn't encounter any non-common vocab there, while there was plenty of economics stuff I didn't know in WEE.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12184754
Yes, but following anon's logic, I imagine Daito has much more slang and smaller lines than WEE, which in case would lead to being harder to translate.

He posted a supposedly typical line from WEE. Use that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12184751
Might be, I haven't read WEE so I have no idea. I'm just saying that how "complex" something isn't a direct indicator of how hard it is to translate, or how long it will take.

I would say that there are definitely "simple" moege that would be a lot harder to do a decent job of translating than, say, Eustia, which is already pretty fucking European to begin with.

Sort by 'unique kanji' and you'll see that Albatross is number 1 with 3108 unique kanji. It's insanely difficult to read and probably even harder to translate. like every raiL-soft game. It's funny because no sane person would even dare to think about translating this.

Weird vocabulary isn't really the problem. A big chunk of the kanji count comes from using ateji for things like types of fish, birds, plants, and cities.

MangaGamer is technically a Dutch company, but I don't think they have any Dutch staff at all. Nowadays it's a subsidiary of Japanese VN publisher Hobibox. The business side of things (read: Bamboo back when he owned the company) used to be in Japan, but I don't know if that's still the case.

Was. Back when mangagamer was mostly a tri-jointed japanese attempt to break into the western market, they registered in the netherlands. That's long since expired.

Also it's not a subsidiary of Hobibox, but they do have the same CEO.

Evospace isn't a translator, he's licensing/nip side management/person who explains kouryuu's fuckups.

Everyone else outside of that is independent contractors, though doddler might become permanent if they ever make enough money to pay him fulltime.

No. If you knew Japanese, I'd tell you to read through his final Rewrite scripts and laugh at how horrendous they are. Then when people try to correct his mistakes, he bans them from his forum, so I'd say it's pretty clear he isn't interested in quality.

The way I see it, we've got Ixrec, who actually releases patches, and Moogy, who doesn't do shit except for the time he pretended he translated Drakoi so that he could act like he does shit. Between the two, I'd take Ixrec any day. Any issues with his translations are made up for by my Japanese skills. And if you're gonna ask why I'm reading the patch if I know Japanese, my answer is fuck you. The patch isn't just for me.

almost everybody who actually knows japanese and reads eroge hates ixrec because he butchers the games he works on. its not just TLwiki's circlejerk, as much as people want to think it is.

forget basic mistakes, he absolutely refuses to try and adapt any sort of writing style or anything to his TL's.

i mean, it's good that he does shit, sure. most people don't. but he very clearly hates crticism (subjective errors lol) and doesn't want to improve, so as far as i'm concerned fuck him

no. nobody who is taking their time and actually thinking about what they are working on would translate that damn fast. you clearly don't know fuck all about translating, but if he were doing it properly it should have taken him almost double that time.

literal to the point where it reads like shit, to the point where it'd offend most people who actually read more than just visuals novels? gonna have to disagree. ixrec makes zero attempt to adapt the flair of the text from the original work. combine that with lots of TL errors, yes, ixrec isn't a good translator. he's just one of the only ones english fans have. that doesn't mean he's absolved.

fine, fine. move past the TL quality thing for a second. why does he ban people from the forums who pointed out his errors? why does he actually legit say "subjective errors" as a thing when someone points out a wrong line? this fucking attitude is what annoys me the most. plenty of people aren't good at what they are doing, that's not a sin in itself. cloaking yourself in ignorance is.

and no. ixrec is not the 'greater evil' and i'm not running around shouting that he should stop translating or be kicked off or be crucified for what he does. there are tons of people worse than him. i only call out ixrec specifically because people seem apt to defend him and his shitty attitude

> Without him we would of never gotten any of the games he did
Why do ixwreck shills come up with this crap all the time?
Lets remember what actually happened with plenty of titles he "translated".
MangaGamers reached out to age, was in process of getting deal sealed so age games would be released officially, with proper translation, editing and QC. Then ixwreck releases his half-assed crap, age is enraged, deal fails. So not only we didn't get good translation of ML games because of him, but other age games like KimoNozo are still untranslated only because that fucktard blew up everything.

And then exactly same thing happened with Liar-Soft. Its a miracle MG could finally recover it and get actually good translator to work on them, but Sharnoth and Inganock are already ruined forever and will never be translated properly. If ixwreck would never touch them, we would get official translations for all of them by now, with much higher quality.

MG is not JAST. They don't just throw game in hands of translator and wait till he's done, they have hands-in approach, observing the work and interfering whenever they deem necessary.

I wonder how many of the people complaining about translation quality in this thread actually read VN translations. Because the truth is, almost all VN translations are somewhere between 'bad' and 'completely terrible' by the standards given in this thread. Compared to professional translators (I'm talking about stuff like people translating novels, not MG's or JAST's translators), Ixrec sucks, yes. But for VN translation? It's not like we have more than a handful of translators that are better than Ixrec, even with all of the mistakes he makes. If people enjoyed the VN translations released up until now, they can enjoy Ixrec's translations.

And don't say bullshit like 'Ixrec uses machine translation'. That's misinformation and slander, and as we all know, /jp/ will repeat it until it is seen as true by half of its userbase (i.e. everybody who's joined in the past couple months) because they don't know better. If you're going to throw MT accusations are everyone, nobody's going to take serious reports of MT seriously; it's the 'boy who cried wolf' effect. Just don't do it unless it's actually true.

I can get into you guys using 'EOP' to elevate yourself above other people on the board; elitism used to be in /jp/'s nature before the whole 'shitposter culture' thing, after all. But back then we were united in our inability to motivate ourselves to do anything we wanted to do - yet now you guys blame us for not being able to get ourselves to learn a new language? Look, I tried, and I failed, over and over again - and I'm quite sure there are many others from back then who to this day still rely on translations. We can't get shit done, but that used to be the norm. What's next, are you going to laugh at us for not having a job and girlfriend?

Good post. What's hilarious is, the same people who spread such misinformation insist that Ixrec couldn't possibly have translated Dra-Koi. Moogy's sycophants are everywhere. But my point is, the negativity has spread too much.

Agreed. It's not the quantity of the negativity, it's the baseless negativity that is a problem. Criticize the fuck out of everything, but don't just sling mud at people for the hell of it.

I'm milf lover and i agree, why would i waste my time learning Japanese when there are already way too much things to do, videos games,manga,anime,books to read like a song of ice and fire,vns that are translated. Japanese is way to hard and i failed Italian in high school, there is no way i could ever learn Japanese. Not everyone, and mostly everyone who is older and doesn't have money to hire a special teacher or go to a class doesn't have the ability to learn a second language. Even if i thought myself Japanese i would have no clue if i was actually reading anything correctly anyway, i would be too sacred to know if i was actually right or not. Also you seem to be a part of the old /jp/ers and know your stuff, glad to see some people here remember how we were.

Aroduc posted an update.

Seinarukana and Romanesque have been stopped for months, and are both glitchy as fuck.

New Secret Project is 20,000/66,000, but has no tools for reinsertion.

So I'm gonna interpret that as 66,000 to 69999 lines since it says 20,000+ and not an exact number. According to http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=VN/Eroge_Scriptsizes, the following games have around that number of lines:
>Tsukutori - http://vndb.org/v637.. Unlikely, seems to be too unknown.
>Before Dawn Daybreak ~Shinen no Utahime~ - http://vndb.org/v637.. Seems like a generic nukige. Unlikely.
>Fortune Arterial - http://vndb.org/v87.. It already has a translation project, but who knows?
>Grisaia no Kajitsu - http://vndb.org/v5154.. Has a translation already.
>Akatsuki no Goei ~Tsumibukaki Shuumatsuron~ - http://vndb.org/v3271.. Is a sequel. Unlikely.
>Otaku ☆ Masshigura - http://vndb.org/v1352.. Maybe, but it seems bad and has a low rating.
>Extravaganza ~Mushi Mederu Shoujo~ - http://vndb.org/v324.. Possible. Don't know much about it.
>Artemis Blue - http://vndb.org/v5451.. Now this would be great. I would be very happy if this got translated.

Of course, there are other games with the number of lines not listed on tlwiki. So it's probably something else entirely. But damn, it'd be great if it was Artemis Blue.

It's obviously not any of those. Aroduc only translates things with gameplay.
