Aw. Believe it or not, but I had finally actually successfully blocked that thing out of my mind.

If you think it's good, then you've clearly never played the game. It is a shit adaptation, and even beyond that, it looks like it was made by two interns in a cardboard box.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7499236
I actually watched 4 and a half episode of it. Not that you would care about this information.

But my final impression of it was that it did atmosphere great, but it lacked in suspense which is supposedly one of the VN's strong points, co-existance with the atmosphere.
With this in mind, I didn't want to spoil everything and ruin the suspense while getting overexposed to the atmosphere, prior to reading the VN. Hence why I stopped.

But yes, it was my impression that it seemed like an especially good adaptation. But still an adapation nonetheless. And these things, even if good, tend to be worse if they don't take wild liberties due to the problems involved in converting a work built for one medium into another, but while still doing the scenes the way they were written for the original medium.

But yeah yeah, opinions. My comment on the translation though, had little to do with this. I simply don't generally trust the anime fan-subbing scene, with either skill, nor notable dedication. No real offense if anyone felt particuarly hit, but from my own observations/experiences I would say people in these crowds tend to overestimate themselves, as well as attracting hordes of even less skilled, yet equal minded folks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7499139
It'll go as far as the OreImouto translation.

>good adaptation
I just want to add to the relativity of this statement. If it by any chance went by unnoticed, my general impression of adaptations aren't great. So good, doesn't necessarily mean good.
I still believe the adaptation failed (who could have guessed?) hence why I dropped it.

[Anonymous No.]

I really don't see whats so bad about a group wanting to take up Steins;Gate. If they want to who's to stop them. At least something will get translated.

On another note, at least F/HA has some progress. Here's hoping that it hits 60% by the end of the year.

No one is born with experience. If you think you can do a better job, then you're welcome to start your own project for it. If you can't read moonrunes, then this project will probably be much better than a machine translation. If you can read moonrunes, then it shouldn't concern you in the least.
Besides, even if the project fails, it's good at raising awareness for this niche medium. Exposure is highly important- how else would this fanbase be growing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7499840

I don't think most people here want the fanbase to grow.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7499840
Because half-assed failure is worse than nothing at all. I'm all for serious projects and this is anything but. It's a couple kids who like the anime thinking that translating an entire VN is like translating a few episodes, something that they've already failed to competently do with multiple cheatsheets handy.

[Insemination No.]

>>7499896
Maybe you should give them a chance before making any judgements.
>>7499847
If the fanbase grows, you get more translations. I honestly doubt that "most" of /jp/ understand moonrunes. A lot of us wouldn't be here if the fanbase hadn't grown.

A lot of us came here, read what was available in english, got frustrated at lack of translation for something we wanted to read, and either bitch like you do or put effort into Japanese.

The types who can discern the difference between good and bad TLs or at least bad and really bad TLs probably avoid the predominantly underage, autistic, weeaboo circlejerks of BL communities.

It's funny because he talked down to some retard who gave Sharin no Kuni a bad score on vndb without finishing it how you're not supposed to do that in his usual condescending tone, and around that time 40+ bad votes he gave various moege and shitty games disappeared from his profile.

Because it's a standard insult, yes. That doesn't mean you need to translate everything perfectly 1:1, and saying so makes you look like a dumbass.

Not 'idiot', specifically, but it has comparatively few synonyms. (Note the 'comparatively'.)

Also, like I said, 'baka' is a standard insult. There's no 'reason' for its usage other than it being a very common word; translating it the same way every time is inexcusable since an English-speaking person wouldn't use 'idiot' in many of the situations 'baka' is used in.

I don't hear you guys complaining about Ixrec translating it as 'dummy' whenever Sumika punches Takeru.

To be honest, the word "idiot" or "stupid" gets thrown around all the time in real life English conversation, much like the word "baka". I haven't spoken with many people who deviate from this.

THEN YOU USE A DIFFERENT WORD

JAPANESE IS A VERY CONTEXT-DEPENDENT LANGUAGE

WHAT YOU TRANSLATE A WORD AS DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT

THIS IS VERY BASIC STUFF, HOW RETARDED DO YOU HAVE TO BE

[Anonymous No.]

>>7509360
Obviously not, because then there's no translation. But a translation's goal should be, first and foremost, to allow a reader who speaks a different language to get as close to the original language as possible. There is absolutely no reason to change things that are going to be understood by the average reader, and it is completely harmful to do so. It's much better to allow the reader to develop a sense of the context these Japanese words are typically used in, so they can get that same experience previously mentioned, not a re-imagined experience the translator thought up. Yes, some changes will be necessary to make it understood, but it should always be as little as possible.

No, the job of a translation is to be transparent; it shouldn't be obvious that there was a translation to begin with.

By this logic we should also not translate:
Watashi

Anata
Kimi
Omae
Teme
Kisama

because even though they are tranlatable to English, "I" and "you" obviously doesn't carry the same nuance and connotation as those words above. (Plus, anybody who've watched a few episodes of anime should understand them easily.)

In fact, I've never heard anyone use such a stupid word as "stupid-head".

Seriously, I believe using "baka" all the time is just the script's fault rather than the language's. You could say it's the medium's fault, since there's a LOT of dialogue involved which leads into repetition of some words. Although I suspect it has more to do with the genre/setting of the eroge rather than the medium itself.

>Also who's to say that baka and kisama and so on won't be in English dictionaries eventually?

Are you serious? The only time I could see it being a good idea to keep the different levels of pronouns would be if the original text somehow discussed them explicitly (e.g. "don't call me by x") like sometimes happens with honorifics.

If you bring Shakespeare into this discussion to justify shitty translations then you deserve to get the shit slapped out of you.

But the pronouns give a lot of information about the relationships between two characters, information that a Japanese reader would recognize instantly. It makes no sense for translators to leave this out.

>In fact, I've never heard anyone use such a stupid word as "stupid-head".

Spend more time around girls.

There are different ways to show those relationships. Translations are not supposed to be a one to one, word for word movement between langauges. A single line in isolation can be extremely hard to translate the entire meaning. An entire conversation is easy.

Why do you think I spend my time on /jp/, or why do you think I know Japanese? It's precisely because I don't spend time around girls.

...This is ridiculous. I don't see how translating baka as "stupid-head" in a context where the speaker is acting like a child is an unforgivable sin. I might have preferred the use of say 'dummy,' but they're functionally equivalent. Find some other stupid thing to argue over, preferably one that doesn't insult some of the members of the community that are actually useful.

Actually, I figured that I might as well try compiling a new one. It's supposed to contain all the contents from the newest patch. No guarantee that it works, however. (Don't have the game installed).

Changing script lines, so they will point to a specific voice file location is just a manual work.Quite tedious, that's true, but doable.
The only problem is to adjust the config files to support voices.

But it's quite surprising. Seven days from the release of the trial, and still no atempt for a voice patch?

I'm late to the party, but I happen to like how Hayate keeps Ojousama instead of attempting to translate it.
