There's this nice thread where you can talk about VN translations and their quality.

[Anonymous No.]

I finally decided to read clannad, but it seems there is an awful lot of shit going on around its translation.
I'm usually oblivious to VN translations status, teams and everything else since I'm more oriented toward non-VN japanese games (2hu, ero-RPG etc), and ITH + translation aggregator + my feeble japanese grammar/vocabulary knowledge usually suffice to get the message accross. But there are also occasional times where I'll want to read something in clear english, and I believe from its reputation that clannad is worth the trouble.

So I first checked vndb to see who translated the game.
>Doki Fansubs: TBA
>Drama Club: 2012-06-07
Alright, I went to that drama club website, first frowned at the "c o m i n g. . . when it's done" message and the raw translation files.
From the news, I saw there was an SVN repository, where instructions and raw files were provided.
>Last Modified: 2010-05-11
So not the finished one.
After searching on google, I stumbled upon Doki fansubs' website with a link to a 2012-06-07 patch. "I thought they didn't release anything?" I thought as I saw:
>Project transferred from Baka-Tsuki to Doki Fansubs.
So I guessed vndb was wrong and mistakes were made in the way updates were made.

(cont.)

[Anonymous No.]

>>11971510
I wanted to make sure the patch was completed, and after further researches, I ended up seeing some shit drama about a key documentary and someone apparently leader of the translation project who launched an illegal kickstarter, baka-tsuki re-taking the translation project, but then doki blaming everything on the leader and kicking him out of the project, then baka-tsuki working with doki together again.
I saw a thread on anime-suki with posts linking posts linking posts..., all the way until the trail stopped on a down website link.
The SVN repository is actually belonging to baka-tsuki(?) and not that drama something. So I end up at the same place as the beginning.
Although, from a recent post on doki's forum, I found out that the making of the patch is seemingly still underway and active.

At that point, the only good thing I found in all that mess was the english graphic patch made by an anonymous guy and linked on hongfire.
Anyway, I was already in a "fuck it" state of mind of and I just downloaded a torrent by fuwanovel with everything already patched, something I hate doing because it's the best way to fuck up with unicode/SHIFT_JIS/UTF shit. And I was right: after playing for a few hours without any problem, I reached some point where "Nagisa" was replaced by nothing, and the protagonist's name by "No valid string, make a ticket about it" (imagine how fucking annoying). I first thought it was just a random error, that patch isn't supposed to be finished anyway. But that shit kept repeating as I advanced in the story, to the point that it was unbearable to read "No valid string, make a ticket about ithas bad mouth, but he's actually a good guy".

So, I'm here with an iso of the full voice version of the game, the anonymous english graphic menu patch ready, and the "clannad-fv-patch-20120607" from doki ready just in case, and I still don't know if that shit will work.

Clannad was a group source project that everyone said "Oh don't worry if there's some shit translations, people will fix them in editing."

And then it finished, with a whole lot of shit translations and awful English in certain parts, and you know what didn't happen? Nobody went through and edited it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11971550
Ah, I see. Thing is, I downloaded there and it worked pretty well. I could try uploading it from my computer I guess but I'm feeling kinda tired now and it'd take some time (more than 1 hour I guess).

[Anonymous No.]

>>11971544
I thought I would have trouble finding one too, but I actually got lucky that the second most seeded torrent uploader on nyaa didn't bother to use the patch and just threw it in along with the original game.

>>11971545
>>11971558
Even if it's a sad fact, having to look up every other kanji for a VN as long as clannad is really too much of a pain in the ass for me. But I guess it's what I'll do if nothing else comes up. I also thought a few minutes ago that the fuwanovel version may have worked perfectly under normal conditions, so maybe I'll try changing from my japanese local settings (the irony). If you could upload your version, it would be nice of you.

>>11971557
Yeah, I noticed that the quality wasn't extremely good when comparing the voices and the text. But I'm personally more irritated by the lack of transparency of the translation teams. I find it contradictory with the goal of making the game known to the english community.

>>11971545
fuwanovel? Are you fucking serious?

Is that stupid person who can't find a clannad link still here?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11971513
The fix to that problem was replacing the SEEN.txt file with a new one. Can't remember where I found the new file but I don't think it should be that hard.

That said, every fuwanovel seems to have these kind of bugs so unless you're ready to find fixes all the time you should avoid the VN's in the first place.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11971513
Does the non-voice SEEN.TXT work with the full voice version? I have a version that's still far from perfect but not as terrible as that, but it's from the unvoiced original version so it might not be compatible.

>>11971607
You have to distinguish fan translators from "fan translators" here. In the VN community, there are plenty of groups who pick up a project, sit on it for months or years, sometimes machine translate a couple scripts, and then end up admitting they did nothing. A long time ago, there was a badly coordinated project of people actually working on translating Clannad which reached 100% translation but with countless mistakes and a lack of editing. (The patch I mentioned is from 2008 if not earlier.) After that, the project just went from group to group with not much being done to it.

Thanks for the help.
I looked once more into everything after waking up, and I finally came up with a seemingly fully working solution.
Apparently, the translation project is currently under doki-fansubs, but for some reason, they didn't post any updates since the last handover of the project back in 2012-06-07, and the link on their website is actually a repost of https://web.archive.org/web/20130625225116/http://clannad.game-maps.net/download.php
so it doesn't seem I'll find a more up-to-date SEEN.txt than this one.

I'll post what I've done here so that if people asked again, they can find it in the archive.
1. Install the full voice japanese version of the game. I got mine from http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=184571
2. Copy the files from the latest TL update to installation folder: http://www.mediafire.com/?4d6f7w1uo484eb5
3. Copy the files from the english graphics TL: www.mediafire.com/?znzwyheqnyh
4. To make the game playable without cd (just mounting the iso doesn't work), open REALLIVE.exe with a hexadecimal editor and replace the first bits of those adresses:
Address: 002E9F10
From: 55 8B EC 6A FF 68 79 A6 AC 01 64 A1 00 00 00 00
change to: C7 05 DF 91 4E 00 67 44 F7 F5 C7 05 E3 91 4E 00

Address: 002E9F20
From: 50 64 89 25 00 00 00
change to: CB 95 BE A0 33 C0 C3

And here we go. I've done everything under japanese local settings, and it works properly now. It even added a voice replay button that wasn't there with fuwanovel's fucked up version.

>Speaking from experience, maintaining a site with downloads like Fuwanovel was, is painfully hard. In comparison, maintaining a community site is relatively simple. However, at the same time, we will inevitably see a slight fall in community participation as those who came just for the downloads go awol.

>Nonetheless, since I never used Fuwanovel for downloads, I don't consider that aspect to be important. I'm glad the forums are still up, and I'm glad that the central figures - whoever they happen to be - have the enthusiasm necessary to maintain the community.

It took you that long? I just spent 2 days distilling the language down to its most basic principles, and then from there derived everything as needed. Now I am literally more fluent than most native speakers. I feel bad for all the losers that have to memorize each individual word and kanji.

Amaterasu doesn't make obvious english mistakes so in the end you think the translation was good, when in reality there were several mistranslated lines. It's good to remember that Ixrec translated Cross Channel while writing his masterpiece, Andromeda.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11975103
He's more or less like the average VN translator with a few more silly mistakes. (Newsflash: most VN translators are shit!) He just gets far more attention than most due to the whole circlejerk mentality.

As for why it started, he was originally really popular and had a good reputation because of Cross Channel and Muv-Luv, so he seemed both an easy and attractive target. But most people have forgotten about that these days and just shit on him because it's the done thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11975201
His translation of Muv Luv was fine. Cross Channel wasn't, at all. And if you take a look at the past thread, there was actual criticism involved towards him. It's not because he' "an easuy target" that people shit over him, you know.

>>11975202
I'm not saying that the criticism isn't justified. Just that the fact that this one guy gets so much attention isn't. You could criticize all but a handful of the VN translation scene in the exact same way, but people like to fixate on this one guy.

No, I'd definitely rather wait. Just because it sucks more to release something incomplete when it's been so long in the works. Not to mention he volunteered reluctantly because we can't find anyone willing to sub it for free at all. I'd imagine doing this must be a pain for him and he's willing to let people do it if he can.
Also, the editors weren't shitty at all, I'd be the shittiest one if anything.

Of course, those hints are only for the games we’ve already secured. That says nothing about what negotiations are currently underway with a few different companies, including one big name we’re discussing title selection with. What a beautiful year to come.

Yes. Overdrive said at the time that they weren't going to make any more games, but they were able to do some pseudo-crowdfunding to fund their Green Green remake. I haven't heard whether it did well enough to keep them going.

As for Bokuten, it's alright as long as you don't set your expectations too high, and don't mind ANGST and SUFFERING. It's also pretty short, but most people here will be pirating it anyway, so who cares.
