Slow? The guy is doing up to 700 lines a day, that's pretty fast considering he's by himself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6266057
700 'lines' a day. And translation accuracy is poor. Let's not jerk him off for using Atlas and Retrans here.

[Anonymous No.]

What does it mean, that there's a "dining room" on the island?

Do lines like "....." and "はい" count?
If so then I can do 700 lines a day easily

Lines include garbage inserted by Retrans. The percentage is accurate, but the line count is off by about 75%

Look at all the TLwiki shills.

Still butthurt over losing the bid?

Uh huh, champ. You just keep giving reach arounds to someone using Atlas to translate a shitty moege. Enjoy your continually lowering standards driving real translators away from wanting to put in the effort to work on this stuff.

What the fuck does tlwiki have to do with this?

[Anonymous No.]

Good work

[Anonymous No.]

>>6266160
Just Cudder samefagging all the time. Pointing out blatant translation or editing mistakes, or massive Retrans technical problems means that you're a TLWiki shill by default.

So much non-constructive samefagging.

It seems to be the same shit with regularity just like the samefag can only visit 4chan at the weekend.

[Anonymous No.]

the guys translation is easier to fix in my head than what ATLAS spouts, so I appreciate what he's doing. <.<

[Anonymous No.]

This thing isn't going to be translated by anyone else, and I'd rather have this guy translate than ATLAS.

Sure, perhaps he's not as high of a quality as translators like The Witch Hunt, but it's sure as hell better than Moonrunes.

The first 1K lines or so seem to be a rather strange mix of a *very* liberal human translator, machine translation, and everything in between, but it becomes a lot more consistent and literal after that. At no point did I go "what the fuck does this mean", which is a good thing.

[Anonymous No.]

Yes, it's machine translated, and no, I don't care.

I just better not see anyone bash this game after this patch is released or say they think the 'game' is bad since they won't actually be playing the game but more like a bastardized version of it. Again, not that I care that the translation is bastardized, as long as the game's reputation doesn't suffer from it.

Which it probably will, dammit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6266811
at least, it didn't for me.
I loved Kujo's route.

Is it just Kujo'r route that's finished in the pre-alpha patch released earlier? I want to play another route very badly D:

[Anonymous No.]

>>6266811
Only the very early parts. The rest doesn't look like it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6266811
The game isn't even very good in Japanese though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6267025
If you know basic Japanese, it very obviously is. Grammatical mistakes are constant and the real tell are the English homonym mistakes that someone who actually knew Japanese would never make. Example: 獲物 being translated as 'game' (something you'd play).
Not saying that makes it unplayable just that it's very obvious that it's taking machine translation and editing it to look real. Given the shittiness of MangaGamer and similar, I doubt anybody would notice.

Do you know English? Game as in something you hunt. I see nothing wrong with translating it like that. For shits and giggles, though, I actually looked it up, and it's defined as:
１ 漁猟でとったもの。

Granted, I don't know what context you're talking about, but that's a perfectly valid translation of 獲物 in most contexts.

"Goodbye. Please, please become happy......"

>結衣と桜子はいない。
You: Yui and Sakurako were missing.
Him: Yui and Sakurako aren't here.


Even if you say he's a machine translator, at least he preserves all the meaning...

[Anonymous No.]

>>6271152
Uh, only the third one looks significantly different, and it's just because I forgot to add in those words. And I chose to make the last one "were missing" instead of "aren't here" so that I could make a subsequent line:
いなくなったんじゃなく『いなかった』んだ。
They didn't "go missing." They "never were."
Which he left the same.

Whatever. I'll stop trying to help. I don't even know the context of the game.

Same old bullshit carping and trying to run a project down without doing anything productive.

Don't bother with your criticism since you can't be assed to do anything about it. Restrain your impluse to comment any more in these threads.

No sir, there was some idiot in here harping on someone's 'translation accuracy' when clearly this project doesn't give a shit about that. My beef is with him not with the project.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6272064
Bzzt. Someone said they weren't going to work on it because all their work was erased. Then someone else claimed it was because his work sucked. Then everybody else said that all the work on it sucks. Then you came in with your usual BS. Meanwhile, you still obviously can't be arsed to edit the project, so tell you what... YOU start contributing.
So congrats. You've driven off another potential translator.

They didn't disappear, they "didn't exist".

[Anonymous No.]

What experience does the 'translator' have with Japanese? I want an answer to that first.

Then, can we have a professional translator translate 100 lines somewhere, I don't care where, then compare the 'translator' that's working on this project with the 100 lines by a professional, thus proving either that everything is shit or shutting the hell up about it?

That's the only thing that'll satisfy me.

It's because you deny this stuff that get people riled up and want to pick on the project.

Look, if you want to translate this with a machine and with barely any knowledge of the language, fine. Go ahead. No one else is going to translate this game anyway(probably). No one else is going to care except the people who want to read it no matter what. You ARE making people happy out there.

Just don't deny that's what you're doing, because that's only going to get people riled up and want to come in even more and fuck with your project. Looking at some of the mistakes and the quality of the English language, that's pretty much obviously what's going on here. I don't see WHY you'd want to deny it. Like when you see someone persistently sticking too a transparent lie, that just... bugs people you know. It's human nature. Drop the act and you'll get less trolls.

Yes, even the quotes are missing.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't give two shits about this (besides Nozi Ito's delicious art, but even then it's still not worth it), but who cares if the translators are using some automatic translator or ATLAS or whatever? Some people want to read this, and they're making people happy. That's all there is to it.
