Hatsukoi Translation Thread

[Cudder !MhMRSATORI!!M/1aw1CrAJA No.]

What is this?

/jp/ has begun to finish a project to translate the visual novel Hatsukoi, one of the highest rated according to the Japanese.

Are you in need of translators?

Of course! Anyone with knowledge of Japanese (and English) is welcome to join in and start translating with the simple and easy-to-use REtrans™ Web Interface now with Accelerated AJAX Technology.

Are you in need of editors?

Definitely. You don't even need to know Japanese to help improve the English text, so your participation is encouraged.

What is the length/progress/ETA?

The total length of the content is approximately 32k lines. We are at approximately 66%.

Wow, Any clue how many people are working on it
and/or how long it will take from now?

[Anonymous No.]

It's all volunteer, from what I understand.
Also I miss "at the current rate of translation, we'll be finished sometime before the end of time." and such.

[Anti-Cudder !MhMRSATORI!!uOjQCZfASis No.]

Every time I get a new program on Windows I open it in a plaintext editor with wordwrap enabled and see if there's anything suspicious. If it's packed with something nontrivial (read: not UPX or similar), then unless the software is really special, I'm just going to find an alternative.

It's surprising to a lot of people, even programmers, how much info you can get by just reading what looks like gibberish at first -- the strings, the API names that it uses, the "texture" of the code (compiler output looks different from handwritten Asm, you can even see the difference between x86, IA64, Z80, etc. if you look at enough binary, encrypted/compressed data feels really different, etc.) And of course, there are the less important but still fun things to find, such as debug symbols and source file paths (complete with username).

...I should go back to REchan now.

Something like 5-10 from what I've seen, though only a few of them are heavy contributors. The progress has been pretty bursty.
