Irotoridori no Sekai - 42,735/51,100

You should all rejoice from irosekai's and rewrite's updates!

[Chipp12 10]

Guys, guys it's not that bad!

I guess I should start with my background: I started watching anime 5 years ago, reading VNs ~3 years ago and fansubbing anime ~1,5 years ago (though not jap->eng translation but eng->rus translation). Thanks to all this I can understand most of simple expressions in Japanese language by ear (I've even translated &user=116323"]some trailers from jap before (and several S;G ones that I've translated to my native language) (and yes, I know that GC sucks - though Lost Xmas is a great VN - but I was hyped with it before it aired actually)). Also I'm learning hiragana and katakana occasionally by translating some small stuff...

Several month ago I've heard about the Annot player from one of Russian VN translator's blog - he wanted to use it for his own translations, but just to save time wasted on hacking, not using machine translators - and became interested with this program, so I've tried some of my untranslated VN lying on my PC, and learned which of machine translators are more or less usable (@nifty honyaku & Microsoft translator). Now I'm reading H2O thanks to these ones and to Romaji Translator that converts all of jap text to romaji, and also started to read Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia. The text in H2O is quite simple so when the heroines are speaking I can just use my ears and romaji text to understand the meaning - well, listening their words helps a lot. Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia is a lil' more tough (just because it's not voiced) but I've only started it and then decided to go with H2O first. So I'd like to thank the creator(-s) of this beautiful program for giving me the ability to read some VNs without other's translations.

すりすり、すりすりぃ～

 

Though I'd like to add that I still prefer reading VNs in English (SubaHibi and Rewrite, I'm waiting for ya!) but I'll use Annot player as a crutches for these VNs won't be translated in the future (or even never be translated).

And those games are readable after you use these programs?? Machine translators used to make unreadable texts which are killing the mood;p It's must be a huge pain in the ass to change Japanese to romaji and translate it afterwards. As far as I know Japanese I have a feeling that many of words will be written incorrectly. I prefer to wait for a proper translations and improve my own Japanese to read those vn's which will stay Jap forever.

Btw. I'm seriously thinking about translating F/SN into Polish. It would be great if our Polish vn scene was as good as Russian.

[Chipp12 10]

Uhh... our Russian VN scene isn't very good too ^^;

And as I've already said I know some of Japanese so I just use the translator for some hard words or phrases, so it doesn't bother me too much - for example I can understand the whole sentence from screenshot just from reading romaji)

Well I'm not talking about VNs such as SubaHibi or Cross Channel - it's impossible to understand them with just a partial knowledge of Japanese and translators (though at least a half of Down the Rabbit Hole I was just a typical slice-of-life stuff).

[OneManArmy 82]

Yes, be ashamed.

[Chipp12 10]

Haha, I'm interested in all YnS routes, including Nao. Though Yahiro is the most interesting for me... well, if they'll do the fandisc too there won't be a need to use translators ^^;

[OneManArmy 82]

I highly doubt this.

[Ignazzio 10]

Way better than ours. We didn't translate anything xD Something moved this year and G-Senjou was picked by really trustworthy team. At this point they translated 2 chapters so I can have some hope. If not for my studies I would like to translate something as good as F/SN to make some movement.

Without program there is no romaji in vns. Romaji is not a proper Japanese, it's just a plaything to make western lazy people life easier;p I prefer normal Japanese. With kanjis it's a lot of easier to read anything. And with fine motivation kanji is not so hard:cool:

 

I highly doubt this.

You raped my optimism;/

[Xilexio 10]

Hi there. Ryu suggested in one of his posts that I should register here. Also, hecrapan wished for it. So, here am I.

 

So, to clear the stuff about Haruka na Sora:

 

I highly doubt this.

 

I think that it's quite probable that we'll start it. trjr wanted to do Haruka na Sora, so if he really comes back, the project will probably start. If not, then it will depend on our translators. I can take care of technical stuff, translation check and manage the project, though I'm probably not going to translate a whole route. But at least I'll try to get a team for it.

 

Anyway, in each case I want to focus only on Yosuga no Sora first. It's meaningless to make plans for the Fun Disk, while we still haven't finished the main game.

 

The main problem for now is speed. Kudryavka isn't going to work at other routes, so I doubt there'll be such rapid progress from now on. I'll somehow need to bring up the pace, or the project won't be even fully translated before end of 2013.

 

Any (non-machine) translators willing to help and translate at least ~500 lines a month?

Welcome to the forums Xilexio! Great to also see you around here! I hope you enjoy your stay

Now someone must make Ixrec also create an account here lol

 

[Fan Boy On]Regarding Yosuga no Sora and Haruka na Sora translation, don't knock yourself out with it. It's greatly appreciated the time and effort you and the whole team are putting into the project [Fan Boy Off]

 

By the way, will you make an announcement when an edited version of Sora's route (since it's already fully translated) is available?

I hear about not "knowking myself out" etc. a lot, but in the end it's effect that matters. After all, everyone's wish is for YnS to be finished as fast as possible, right?

Yes. For now, only part of common route has been proofreaded.

[alexismaster 10]

Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo - 6 - fully translated and through TLC/edited/QC beta patch out

Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo - 8 - fully translated and TLC/editing, 14/18 scripts QC, beta patch out

Saya no Uta - 99% complete, have uncensored CGs

Its Something.

Thanks for negating my statement. ;-)

(Also, I'm currently playing sora's route and the translation quality is pretty good.)

 

Kudryavka isn't going to work at other routes

Wafuu~?

Majikoi S Updates (Taken From Wairu)

 

Change of Plan

A change of plan is in order. While it may be fun to read, the majority of the routes in Majikoi S are riddled with H-scenes and getting the product to all of you ends up being somewhat tedious.

As a result, we have decided to focus on translating the routes that have more non-H scenes than the rest (that is, Tsubame first and then Koyuki.) Afterward, we may work on the rest of the routes as a side project or perhaps toss the baton to a more enthusiastic group. We're sorry for our debilitating laziness, but it can't be helped.

 

 

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! or YESSSSSSSSS!!!

[desi 53]

That's good. They're more focused on translating the ones with a strong emphasis on story vs the ones with h-scenes...but I think there would be enough of a demand for those after stories to be translated that they will eventually get to them.. just a guess right now though. If the after stories are riddled with h-scenes and no story, then I don't think it'll be a loss.

[Soren619 10]

I'm actually really glad about that, but I wish Koyuki came first

 

Also, if I'm not mistaken ,didn't you have to finish the true route before unlocking Koyuki's route?Cause if so we might miss a serious bit of the story if we play Koyuki's route without reading the true route first.

[JTF 10]

I'm disappointed because it would still mean untranslated routes regardless if they're mainly H scenes or not, I pray that they can get to finish what they started or have another group pick this up.

[Gerard the Lone Wolf 10]

Yea, I feel the same too.

 

So Majin, I'll choose

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

then.

I'm fine with it either way, since the 1st game needs to be translated first, I can wait. I've seen someone suggest that they should just leave h-scenes untranslated, which is a good idea - it's not like you don't understand what's happening. Though the "Afterward, we may work on the rest of the routes as a side project or perhaps toss the baton to a more enthusiastic group" is not great news, it may be left as a partial TL :/
