The translator is Asian i think (dont comment me on that) and knows Japanese i think as a first language, he does know English of course though. As far as i could tell he was and seemed like a decent translator and since /vg/ treated him well and checked out his lines (yes /vg/ has Japanese readers now) it seems they said hes good. Funny thing is hes a neet and hes depressive and thats why hes slow.

In case anyone doesn't know, Monobeno -happy end- is actually the sequel to Monobeno, but it also includes an rewritten version of the original game.

Unfortunately, the translator is unskilled in English as well as Japanese. So I guess we'll see how it will turn out.

I have no idea about vvav's personal situation so I don't know which of these posts are true, but I'm pretty familiar with his translations. I have to say, his work is quite good. As far as the translation quality goes, this might be one of the best works we get this year.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12201950
So, is there any value in translating the original game, or did this guy make the right decision by skipping to this one? And is the stuff he's starting with from the first game, or what? I know nothing about Monobeno.

Not sure I have much faith in his project, of course, but hey, it's a thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12202305
No, no value. It's a rewritten version that adds a lot of additional scenes, mostly H in nature.

He's of course starting with the first game.

Me neither. I'll probably read it in Japanese before the translation finishes. Though it probably won't finish anyway.

Why does it feel like the English patch of "Pure Pure The Story of Ears and Tails" has been in progress for the past ten years? Is that even a real project? I remember it being on TLWiki back when I was just getting into the scene and Moogy wasn't so fucking full of himself.

I seem to remember that Mangagamer was planning on releasing http://vndb.org/v10926.. Or something like this. I was a lolige that sort of looked the same. Could be that the manga was recently banned for being loli or something.

Well it's certainly not that, No way Visual-Arts would give mangagamer the time of day.

Perhaps you're thinking of Imopara? Which isn't really lolige, but has a few. That thing's mango got banned recently.

Imopara'll probably be out before the end of the year, as it's their closest "big title" to being done, with the only thing that could slow it down is the usual truckload of nukige stealing it's monthly release slot.

If mangagamer were to dabble in the realm of lolige, it'd probably be a game from a company they're already working with; http://vndb.org/v12362

>>12202671

Well, to be fair just because it's "legal" doesn't save you from being arrested and arguing your innocence in court. Kouryuu is MG's rep in the US, so he'd basically bankrupt his own ass in court arguments in the event that moral guardians decided that loli crosses their line.

But on his ask.fm he's said that loli is not completely out of the question, just that he'd rather not take the risk when other porn sells as well if not better.

I assume that any chance of it will probably come down to imopara's sales, with it being the closest thing to lolige mangagamer's ever pushed.

They're clearly well-liked, but I can't say for myself. The appeal of otome games is, of course, largely based on your attraction to men. Though obviously it's still a heterosexual relationship, so it's not like there's anything weird about them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12204866
I'm a straight girl anyway, so that should work. It's just whenever I've started up a typical otome game like Starry Sky in the past, I was bored to tears in 5 minutes.

So, if this is more of the same, then I don't understand why they would even go the trouble of translating it. Black Wolves Saga is technically an otome game, and that looks so much more interesting.

There was a translation planned (http://bishounengemu.wordpress.com/)), but the project lead fucked off and everyone sort of abandoned it. Otomeshits are infamously prickly anyway, there has never been a single good otome VN translated due to drama and general incompetence.

That Starry Sky patch that was released had over thirty translators listed for example, and I imagine the game is pretty short.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12205163
Seriously? So they abandoned what might have been a different and probably pretty good otome game to do another Starry Sky game. What.

I didn't know the scene was that weird. I will never expect anything good from it again.

Something else that's pretty strange is that 'good' yaoi games generally get translation projects super fast. I know pretty much every yaoi game on my wishlist has a translation project. Most of them will still probably turn out to be bad, like Dramatical Murder, but whatever. Damn, that was a disappointment.

So it's really necessary to start another kickstarter? Remember, that WEE1 is being sold at steam, so it brings some money too. https://crowdfunding.sekaiproject.com/ and they even got a stie for pp donations.

Translations have nothing to do with originals, they both exists at the same time and nothing got damaged. That's the same retarded delusion as copyright. Like those retarded Japanese are against distribution of their games outside Japan. I mean, there is no reason for them to worry because those games are not meant to sell outside Japan in the first place. Nobody lose anything, yet they try to meddle and ruin fun for people who is absolutely unrelated to them anyway. There is no reason in such activity besides hate.

[Anonymous No.]

There's a lot of completely unrelated and misguided shit in that post, so I'm just going to stick to the part I was talking about.

It does a disservice to the original by being a bad translation. I can't fathom why anyone who knows the language would care one way or the other about a translation being released unless they wanted to share something they liked with others. In that case I don't know why they would be okay with something they like getting a bad translation. It doesn't change the quality of the original, but it makes it look bad to everyone who can't read the original.

Yet almost all translations are bad and they keep coming. What does this mean? That means they do that they like and players having fun playing. You don't know what's going on here? Then fucking think,learn, you retard, and you'll know. Isn't it obvious? Don't want to know? Or maybe you know and just pretend you don't know for the sake of ignoring inconvenient truth?

I don't care if people who can't know any better have low standards, I'm looking at this from the position of someone who actually can criticize a translation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12210097
I care about their quality to a specific degree, which is apparently significantly lesser than that of others with knowledge of the language. But that's because others set their standards unreasonably high and block acceptable translations from getting released for incredibly narrow-minded reasons. I looked at the Mahoutsukai no Yoru translation and it's laughable that anyone could seriously consider this "bad" compared to the machine translations and worse which we've dealt with in the past. So Commie honestly has no good reason to be holding back the patch.

I'm telling you, if you know Japanese then you have nothing to do with translation just as Japanese retards have nothing to do with westerners playing their games not intended for West in the first place. At person proficient in Japanese you can criticize translations, sure, BUT spouting nonsense about should they exist or not is completely different story. You play originals, NOT translations, therefore you don't have any right to say they shouldn't exist because YOU DON'T CARE. Only people playing translations care, so ONLY THEY can say that.

Criticism is fine and all, but how about releasing the "bad" translation so we can see how "bad" it is ourselves?

Using machine translations as your metric for quality is barely above having no standards at all. It seems more like you want the translation released just to spite moogy. The only reason Commie needs to hold back the patch is because they don't think it's good enough to release, which considering their usual quality is sort of impressive.

>>12210119
You know the reason eroge devs started that Japan only shit was in an attempt to avoid being put under pressure a la the Rapelay fiasco, right?

As for the part about having no right to say whether or not a translation should exist; The only person that can decide whether or not a translation is released are the people working on it. Why would the people that need a translation say no to a translation? They wouldn't have any idea of the quality either way, unless it's just gibberish. I've got a right to say whatever I want (for now), and I've got more backing up my opinion on the quality of a translation than the people that need them. I do care, as I said in the previous post. I care about things I like getting a treated decently. At least the other guy's taken to accusing me of having impossible standards.

This have nothing to do with the devs. Do you think they sit all day googling for translations of their stuff to send C&D? They don't even know English for the god's sake. It's just regular retards from 2ch thinking westerners desecrating their games by playing them reporting. The same shit you trying to pull here with your 'translations are desecrating beautiful games' bullshit.

In other J-E translation fields, one cent per character is what outsourced Indian Google translate rewriters get paid. Kind of sad to hear about legitimately talented TLs being treated like that. You'd be better off working in another field and just doing VNTLs pro bono.

Well when I was offered that, I was rather inexperienced and it was my first large translation project, so I was fine with being offered a lower rate. But I figured that at most, 5 cents per character would be normal for a long work of fiction. It's not like a technical manual where the work is short, but accuracy is exceedingly paramount. But in cases like that, the payment shouldn't be per character, it should be a lump sum based on how important the document is.

My deal fell through for other reasons, though, so I never did get paid, and wound up doing VN translation work for free, just releasing it to the internet. Someday I hope to get back into the field, but I'll be shocked if I ever get paid 10 cents per character like this guy is suggesting is natural.

No.

Not only destroys machine translation the flow (granted, that can be fixed by a good editor - but which halfway decent editor is going to bother with machine translation?), it also obscures, or entirely destroys many plot points by simple mistranslations. Basically, everything is lost and you're really better off making up your own story to the pretty pictures.

What's worse, machine translations are effectively harmful to the translation scene since the chance of a real translation will sink into to the bottom once Google did his work.

>>12213309
Since when were translations about credit? Give credit or don't give credit at your own discretion, that has no bearing on whether a product is useful or not. Nor does the difficulty of producing it. Even a raw machine translation breaks immersion less than having to read a machine translation in a different window, and an edited one even less so. Saying that they have absolutely no value to someone who will never have any other option is asinine.

Also I think a lot of you guys seriously underestimate how much a person can fill in the blanks of even the shittiest translation using other context clues. They miss stuff, but this implication that you won't understand the overall story at all is patently false.
