VNHunter 12 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 hmm... good info... I just wish it gets finished quickly... Link to post Share on other sites
DigitalBookworm 10 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I was thinking of playing Clannad soon. What problems are present in the current translation really? I might just delay playing it until this new patch arrives. Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 What problems are present in the current translation really? It's not a high quality translation and some sentences may sound weird. There are also some lines (around 10) which aren't translated. It's all in all not a big pain in the ass, you're able understand everything but it's not a smooth read...if you know what I mean.

DigitalBookworm 10 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ah, I get where you're coming from. I think I will wait on the new translation then. Link to post Share on other sites

Come at me bro and I'll slash you real nice and quick I didn't have any problems with it either, but i only played through one route.

Omi 10 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 what? tomoya's name wasn't translated? im confus. im currently playing the game and i've seen no problems so far. of course, i'm talking about the one dowloaded from here. I didn't even know that the translation is "incomplete" apparently. I checked vndb and apparently yea, theres no complete patch supposedly which is making me really confused as to what it is I'm playing Link to post Share on other sites

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4894[/ATTACH] about the character name, you can change it into Okazaki Tomoya... take note that in japan, they usually display surname first... try it like this... if done like that, it should appear like this during the Main Character's lines... that's all I know...

OneManArmy 82 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 He probably just wanted to know if the menu's translated or not. Can't help you though, played the game 2 years ago and can't remember such specific stuff anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Aynil 12 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure the menu's wasn't translated , at least when I was playing it wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure the menu's wasn't translated , at least when I was playing it wasn't. Same here but I used back then (obviously) the old patch. So yeah, I've no knowledge when it comes to new patch but it's possible that they "just" re-translated the seen.txt files, not stuff feat the menu or options. Link to post Share on other sites
Zind 10 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 They did translate the menus in the latter patches. This is what my Clannad looks like : I played that a long time ago (all the routes) so I'm not sure, but I don't remember encountering japanese text in my playthrough. The translation for several parts of the After Story was really crude though. Link to post Share on other sites

The translation for several parts of the After Story was really crude though. Doki will fix the "rough translations" since some parts are kinda not edited that well, as far as I know. It's not that big of a deal, but they will make it more readable and enjoyable overall. Edited July 1, 2012 by killerinsidee Link to post Share on other sites
ButtCrusader 10 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm pretty glad, actually. I was about to start up Clannad since it's been on my to-read list for quite a while now. Link to post Share on other sites

Ero-ero Majin 16 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 so i can use my previusly translated save files with this new translation when it comes out? better backup your clannad save data first to see if it works when patch comes out cause sometimes new patch didn't recognize or not working properly with your old save game... don't worry, most vn save game only take a very little of your disk space (several kb or mb usually) Link to post Share on other sites
