Hi, I'm one of the anons who pushed for this project to be made on /v/. And while I lack the ability to help by playing the games (blame my toaster), I'll keep an eye on the thread and will help as much as possible, if only with suggestions.

Here's what I propose :
>Gather the "NISA = cancer" pics related to Neptunia (/v/ might be able to help on that one, even outside of the Neptunia threads)
>Find someone who can help for the japanese side of this (it can be done on the same thread as the first point, as long as the one making it is clear enough to dissociate that thread from the Neptunia one on /v/, as anons from our /v/ were the one who made the "NISA = cancer" pics, IIRC)
>Keep the morale high (The project won't be done in a day or two, so we need to inform ourselves about what to do regularly)

I'm keeping an interested eye on this thread.

Editfag here

Since we're looking to clean up the mess that Doerr did to Nep, heres the 'NISA = Cancer' pic on how to NOT do translations.

I'll look through my Re;Birth 2 folder and I'll try to sort the scripts by the chapter they appear in along with putting the characters name somewhere so we know who says which line.

SMAC Anon here. Willing to help.

>Find someone to help with the japanese side of things
we don't need to hurry on that point, unless we can get ahold of the japanese script and game files 
speaking of it, check this out [ http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=722073 ] I haven't tried it so i don't know if it's safe/good
another thing we could do to get ahold of the japanese files is to go all the way to 2ch(or some other prominently japanese forum) and politely ask them to upload the files 

where to find people with adequate moonrune skills or even better - actual japanese people (then with adequate english skills instead), we could check here on this site or maybe over on half-chan's /a/ and /jp/ for help on that.

>>838
good to see you here!

we could start by taking notes of where the translation needs to be fixed. like what's said, who said it, what scene and what chapter. If you extract the text like in pic related and you know which line of dialog you wan't to edit, can't you just 'ctr-f'(search for a specific text) search for it?

>>839
nice to see that there is interest!

and believe me, we do need all your help if we're are going to make this

>>840
From memory…

>>841

Yep! You got those down.

I can't translate from Japanese to English, but I guess I could make a spin-off project translating the new translation to spanish just for fun.
Yes? No? Waste of time?

>>843

Well if you would like to do that, it'd be nice since I doubt Idea Factory will add more languages besides Japanese or English

>>843
Well, I guess if you want? I mean Nep and Ram will sound like retards.

>>845
I think they're only retards on the bad translation.

>>846

Well they're the ones that stick out the most.

>>840
>>838
I haven't played Re;Birth 2 yet, but haven't people been saying that, aside from the memes, the translators also messed up her personality throughout the game? It was my impression that it wasn't something that could be fixed by editing just a few lines.

>>848
RB2 had two fuckups.

Ram was tweaked a bit further than she should have been. That said it was tolerable but the localization could have been tighter with her.

Neptune on the other hand was FUCKED. Outside of a few scenes her personality is completely shafted.

>>843
I had the idea of doing the same, but to French and from RB1. The only thing stopping me is the inability to see the changes due to my toaster, again.

>>837
>>840

Isn't there a guy over on the Neptunia thread that translates chapters of the manga?

can't he help us if/when we can get a hold of the Japanese script?

We're not going to get the script by asking nicely, someone that knows shit has to dump the script from the games. Translations to spanish and french are going to be a pain in the ass because we don't know how the engine is going to handle things like á, é, í, ó, ú, ¿, ¡, ñ, ç.

>>851
Vice Virtuoso is sorta a busy guy…

>>854
>Translations to spanish and french are going to be a pain in the ass because we don't know how the engine is going to handle things like á, é, í, ó, ú, ¿, ¡, ñ, ç.
Dunno about Spanish, but French is readable without accents, and a note can be added to the release to alert people of that before the game is launched, if there isn't other options.

New fan, here.  I jumped on this series a month ago.   I will say this:  I'm looking to score my hands on the Japanese physical releases of all three rebirth games.  The money isn't the feat, but the time is.  Unless I luck out and run into something on eBay that isn't gouging, I can expect to have these games within the next two months or so.

I'll strike you guys a deal.  If you don't have a source for the Japanese script by the time I nab Rebirth 2, I'll pen out the script for you.  I've advanced enough in moon to be able to duplicate that much, though my reading skills are still piss-poor.  Menus and battle data are notably more difficult, but I can dictate the actual game script.

But again, time is the issue.  Imports don't come fast.  So if y'all don't have anything by that point, I'll help.

Not signing my name or handing out an email because you don't need one on an anonymous board.  So here's a picture.  Cheers.

>>857
That'd be great! Just getting raw resources would be a start. Anything you can do to assist…

>>858
Mind, it's the script work.  I know jack-shit about ripping roms and I don't think I could as I work with a toaster from ages ago.  But I'm willing to give some kind of thanks as these games are actually pretty damned fun.

>>857
Thats awesome!
we need every help we can get

a guide for getting to the games files is in the OP

>But again, time is the issue.  

not really. Seeing the pace that this board moves at, this thread will be around forever

also, we still haven't ruled out the possibility of getting the japanese game files from somewhere in the depths of the internet

>>857
>pen out the script
That'll take months, why not just look for someone to dump all the text from the games's data?

>>860
>>861
>why not just look for someone to dump all the text from the games's data?

that's the problem though

where do we find someone with a Japanese copy of the game, who is also willing to dump the game files for us?

>>862
piracy?

>>863
find a japanese copy to pirate then

most likely we'll have to go to a japanese site like 2ch and ask for the games files

>>857

Don't worry too much on time, this board isn't really to active and by the time you score all the imports, Re;Birth 3 might be out on Steam.

GREETINGS, NEPRADES! 

I think I can be your translatorfag. I have JLPT N3 proficiency, some (not a lot) of experience in translating anime, and am basically a NEET until I get a job.

I will point out that I'm not completely familiar with this series, I've only played RB1 and am making my way through RB2 and plan on finishing the anime after that. The only reason I picked up this series at all is because it came out on Steam, actually.

But FUGG MAN, THESE GAMES ARE COZY AS SHIT. I'm seriously on the verge of dumping my old waifu for Neptune, if I didn't know that at least six of you already had her as my waifu.

Anyway, some yuri as a gesture of friendship, and proof of my mediocre Japanese skills.

>>872
With how much dimensions there are in the series, everyone can get a waifu or a goddess or CPU candidate.

>>873
So are there actually INFINITE dimensions?

If so, I want to write a horrible, hprrible crossover.

>>872
anyway, whoever's leading this project or wants to lead this project should contact Slutmiko on Steam. I can translate, but I can't coordinate anything.

>>872
SMAC Anon from the /v/ thread. Nice to see you here.

Yeah, Steam picked up A LOT of people. 100k got RB1 alone.

Anyway the setting is pretty simple, having played RB1 and going further you should have a bit of familiarity with it already…cute girls representing consoles and game companies do cute and/or fanservicy things (usually…sometimes CH wants tears instead of laughs).

Other things to consider: there's multiple universes, some of them connected with each other, others separate. Usually each universe has a Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc but not always. Pretty much every game has at least one new universe with (generally) completely different versions of the same characters (and the anime/manga qualifies for this as well); if universes are connected with each other the different versions of those characters can interact with each other.

So regarding the project I guess we are sort of in the early stages of organization. We should probably set up some sort of off-site area to communicate with each other, if for no other reason it'd be inconvenient to lose touch with each other if 8chan isn't operational.

IRC is an option, but we could use another system if someone has any other recommendations.

>>876
To start, what else do we need in the group besides a translator? I guess we need someone who knows how to mod?

>>877

I can do that since I extracted the scripts

Only thing I cannot edit are the models themselves.

>>878
If you don't mind me asking, how'd you extract them? All I figured out how to extract was the music, and only from that one guide.

>>879

I use Strtool to extract the .cl3 files that contains the script

And rather than checking every folder for the file, I put in '.cl3' in the Explorer search bear & I dragged as many of them into the tool

Then once the txt file is extracted, I edit it to whatever I like & then I put it back on Strtool so that it replaces the .cl3 file that will be used when the game starts up

>>880
How do people know how to open these kinds of files? I remember googling a way to open .mpq files back in the day with no luck.

>>883

Probably by coding the game engine, beats me.

>Mostly it's just Neptunes dialog that's need to be fixed in Re;Birth 2 and to a lesser extent RAMs.

If the objective of the retranslation is to remove memes and bad jokes, Ram doesn't need to be "fixed" at all.

>>888
Well in general it'd be nice to tighten up Ram's lines a bit. That "Blanny-Blanny-Blah" bit for instance.

Also when you first meet Ram she attacks because "foreign = hostile" in the Doerr version, IIRC in the OG version in Japan it's due to her being pissed about GeGe not bringing Blanc back from the Graveyard.

The guy who translated the VII disks here. 

My schedule is kinda fucked at the moment, but if you guys still need more translators in about two weeks time I'll be willing to help out.

>>893
Alright. I'm not sure exactly what's going on at the moment. I know just in the last day or so Vice Virtuoso said he'd have a go at RB2 as well. So things are certainly solid on the translation front, though we could always use more help.

I think we are starting to get into a good position regarding RB2, considering there's not too much we have to fix comparatively that we are aware of.

If possible we might want to start preparing for RB3. It's only a few weeks out, and it'll be much harder to clean up job than RB2 will be. Certainly we should go through the RB2 script in the meantime, of course.

Don't want to sound rude, but how long do you think you guys will take to fix R;B2?

I've played two hours of that game, and want to know if it's worth waiting for the actual translation the first time i play it.

Buyfag, here.  Fedex has landed.  I'll have RB2 in my hands before Saturday. 

I'll make some kind of timetable to work with from there so that this doesn't become a ghost project.  My aim overall is not to exceed a month ripping this (Play time, exploring paths, new game+).

Again, I'll also clarify that I am focusing JUST on the script, so menus/attacks/etc are going to fall by the wayside until the script's C&P'd.

I'll get to work on it by Sunday.  Progress reports will be weekly if there's no better pace ideas.

And just as I finished typing this, I get a knock on the door.  Package is here.

>>889

"Blanny-Blanny-Blah" is cute though.

>>895
Just play it, we won't be finished by at least mid 2016 at this rate.

Would it be helpful if we all organized on a wiki?

[Hide] (371.8KB, 730x730)

>>898
that's awesome!
now how can we extract the script from the vita game?

>>905

I think the better question would be if theres a tool out there to extract contents out of Vita games.

>>908
Better question, do we strictly speaking need the original Japanese script to start the translation project? I mean, the Japanese audio is available I the steam version, can't we just start translating from there while we wait for the few pieces of voiceless dialogue to be ripped?

>>904
SMAC anon again.

Wiki, IRC, whatever. I'd be happy to help set up whatever you need on that end.

>>909
There's nothing really stopping you really. If you wanna get going on voiced dialogue that's fine. Script makes it easier, and it is necessary if you can read Japanese but are a little weak on the vocal range.

>>903
We might be able to knock out the RB2 work, if we just stick to Ram and Nep, fairly quickly I think. The long game will be RB3.

>>895
Projects like this take a while. 

>>898
Neat!

[Hide] (448.8KB, 901x506)

OKAY, I MADE A FUCKING WIKI
It's private for now, I'll change it if everyone thinks it shouldn't be.
Theoretically, there should be a way to apply to join the wiki from that page. If there isn't let me know in this thread, and I'll figure something out. It's got no pages at the moment because I gotta hit the hay.

nickdoerrdidnothingwrong.wikidot.com

>>912
>Wiki
What's it for? For the translations? Personally, I was getting comfy watching it all happen here

>>914
It's for organizing the translations, yeah. It'd be a lot easier doing it on a wiki where we don't have to dig through disorganized posts and general thread archives in order to find what we need.

Also, doing this all as anons isn't going to work out.

>>919
Another thing I though of, working on Vice's Neptune civ, is doing this via Google Docs…its a little clunky but one could manage the translation document in real time, with non destructive "suggestions" as edits.

>>920
I could import the spreadsheet I compiled with the eng scripts last week.

Thanks!

If anyone wants to have a go at this, 0355 is where human Nep really starts talking. You won't need to look hard for her, Nick did a "good" job making her stand out.

>>927
Maybe we could color code the lines in the sheet to help differentiate who said what.

>>929
Yeah, you should also have the color key as the first thing you see.

Medium Pink = Nepgear
Purple = Neptune
Black = Noire
Dark Blue = Uni
Green = Vert
Brown = Blanc
Dark Cyan = Rom
Medium Pink = Ram

I don't think we need to worry about the Maker's text, at least for now.

>>936

I don't think we've made any progress yet.

But I do think we should roll with this idea

>>930

>>930
>>937

Looking at that list I suggested, I gave GeGe and Ram the same color. GeGe get's medium pink and Ram gets dark pink.

Also Maker text in italics so we don't confuse them with Noire.

I'll make a few suggestions on the document to get the ball rolling.

TRANSLATORS

Is there anything you need to begin?

Also I've made changes to the Prologue, all of Nep and GeGe's text (except the stuff in the opening video) is highlighted and the document opens with a color legend.

1440808542910-1.png
[Hide] (826.6KB, 792x843)

>>938
I'm pretty sure the reason why nothing is getting worked on for now is because there's no source of the original Japanese script of RB:2.

Sure, someone made a Google doc, and uploaded the English script here. >>923
Also, this guy >>898 ordered the original Japanese game to do so.
But that really depends when people like >>872 will start working on the translation.

Unless I'm missing something here, and people have been working behind the lines.

atleast keep us fucking updated.

>>942
If something happens, this thread or the Neptunia general on /v/ will be the first place you hear it.

>>943

Pretty much this.

you should get some people from halfchan to help you.

>>949
4/nep/ are pretty much useless splergs, it'd be a disaster if they were even in the /v/ thread, let alone here.

>>950
if you're going to take on a big project like this, you gotta get the word around.

>>951
People who will do nothing but complain and shitpost are no help to us.

>>952
just suggesting things. don't get assblasted, tumblr.

>>940
translatorfag here
if anyone can walk me through how to rip the script from the Japanese game, I will gladly put up the money for it.

>>954
I dropped a line in the /v/ thread, I don't have a Vita so I really couldn't say where to begin. It doesn't look like there are any generic tools for it.

And I'm not sure if there's written Japanese in any release of the PC port, so the tools we have for that platform wouldn't work…

Worst case scenario is you'd have to go through the entire game, write down everything in Japanese, then translate it to English. Preferably we could also have the raw script provided to us as well.

That's not even talking about any potential localizing as well…

>>953
I'll drop the "find other groups" for help line in the /v/ thread, thanks for the suggestion. Halfchan probably isn't the best route, but there might be another angle with a different group we hadn't considered yet.

>>955
Pretty sure VITA game aren't dumpable right now so that's a dead end.

PC version doesn't have a japanese localization apparently but you might wanna doublecheck that on steamdb or by going on steam with a fresh account using a japanese IP.

So yeah only solution right now is writing down everything.

>>949
>>953
>>954
>>957
Someone suggested on /v/ we ask 2ch? Not a bad idea actually, but someone who knows Japanese here will have to do it.

Also maybe getting technical information on Vita here:

http://wololo.net/talk/

>>957
I poked around 2ch for a bit, they seem to have their own re-localization for RB1 at least, with limited success. Unfortunately, I'm fucking horrible at navigating 2ch, so I have no idea what happened to that thread.

I wouldn't mind doing some translation work from Japanese to English.

I lived in Tokyo for 2 years and I'm currently studying for JLPT N2 in December so this will be good practice.

Just need to get my hands on a script and I can get to it.

I noticed that there's a lets play for Rebirth2 on Niconico. 
We could slog through that and try to extract all the dialogue/text from the videos. It wont be all but probably most of the main story.

>>963
Actually, if we could rip the frames from that video, we could extract the text from it using an OCR program provided the video quality is good.

Holy shit, this is a great idea.

>>964
There's two guys on Nicodouga who have done a LP that I can find.

One that goes by the name of : Tsuvasa@LEANSTAR
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25670068
He has played it from start to finish it seems, with 55 videos uploaded on Rebirth 2. Then there's another guy who seem to have quit mid-way.

The quality depends on if you have premium or a free account. Not sure if it's good enough though.

>>964
>OCR
You don't know what you're getting into anon, I used to do OCR for a sub ripping team a year ago and it takes about 2h to rip and check 300 lines and that's if you're good, and I have no idea about how good OCR is at dealing with written japanese when it's already pretty shit at dealing with simple things.

>>966
Well, do we have any other options? Besides, if we keep just to scenes with Ram and Neptune we might not have much to go though.

Hell, even if we just limit this to Neptune and fix her, by herself, that's a MAJOR improvement to the game by itself. And she doesn't have that many lines, even compared to Ram.

>>967
You could go the lazy way and just screenshot every line in japanese, that's less workable than text technically but you're not re-translating the whole script so that might work, Wouldn't take much more time than just watching through the LP 

Only technical problem here is finding is rip or watch niconico through a local player to facilitate the screenshotting process, which I'm pretty sure is doable.

RB2_Jap_Intro.png

>>968
Quality looks about 360p for the free version. Text seems legible, but blurry.

My Dxtory won't hook into it, I guess it's not GPU accelerated? Or it uses something it's not familiar with. Either way, I can't grab using that. Maybe OBS would work better? Anything except PrintScreen…

>>969
Would be better to have a way to play the video itself in VLC or some other player, trying to find if that's doable.

#28 from that guy is the start of Chapter 5, which is when Nep enters the game. We should focus on gathering caps from there going forward.

I hope this dude has all the endings written down. Fucking hell if we only have True or Holy Sword, that would suck…still, this is WAY BETTER than where we were previously.

>>978
What happened to the dude who imported r;b2? It would be a lot better if we had direct screenshots from the Vita instead of blurry images from a 360p video.

>>979
I agree…but, until we hear back from Vita-Anon, this is the best we have.

I might be able to squeeze some additional quality out of the footage, but there is a limit to what I can do. As long as it is legible…

non-retarded_nep.png
[Hide] (266.9KB, 551x368)

I'm going to download as much as I can…as far as capping, should we work in teams or what?

Got the whole prologue chapter with all dialogues written down and colored, except the tutorial screen. 
Where do you want it?

>>984
Pastebin? Otherwise make a copy of >>923 and replace the original ENG text with your own (since suggestion management doesn't seem to be enabled on that document).

>>985
Or upload to Anonfiles…

https://anonfiles.com/

Prologue script:
https://anonfiles.com/file/5a6291b8ecb046515ef7c74f505143cb

I wrote it by hand but it should be correct. The character coloring might be a bit different from what's in the google document. I just took the colors that made sense at the time.

If someone wants to reorganize anything feel free to do so.

I've also started working on the chapter 1 script.

>>988
Woah, nice! Now we need only re-translate it and re-localize it.

>>973
>>981
So yeah went and looked around a bit with our older OCR scripts to see how that would end up looking and this is the result, is that actually any more readable for the person in charge of translating?

I doubt it is since it's made to make it more readable for OCR programs not more readable to people

Gonna go and see if I can get something better going on using something else, failing that I'll just help with the screencapping itself if that not already being taken care of by some other anon.

>>990
It doesn't make it much better for people reading it. It might just be faster to transcribe screencaps. We already go the prologue knocked out…

What I am doing right now is downloading all video of the playthrough starting at Chapter 4-5, when Nep comes into play. It's slow going but once I have everything organized I'll start dumping caps. Anyone also want me to upload the MP4s anywhere else?

I might even be able to upload the videos here using a VP9 pass and a lowish bitrate…they are only 360p after all as well.

>>991
>It doesn't make it much better for people reading it. It might just be faster to transcribe screencaps. We already go the prologue knocked out…
Yeah especially since It's not that practical unless you OCR, I still managed to get the screencap to be a tiny bit better looking without any real effort thanks to the default filtering options present in smplayer.

Auto-crop is easy but not really sure it's that necessary.

Upscaling filters (xBR, HQx etc) make it look all muddled or blocky so that's no good either.

>Anyone also want me to upload the MP4s anywhere else?
Not really needed since you can download them straight from nicovideo without even having an account so unless they get deleted no real reason to upload them but if you really want something somewhat reliable I have a seedbox and plenty of free space on it and I can do some remote uploading to several filehosts if need be.

Would be a good idea to have a list of links to those videos so that it's easier to find and organize shit.

Speaking of which I have plenty of free time and I wanna help you with the screencapping, how do we go about doing that somewhat efficiently?


>I might even be able to upload the videos here using a VP9 pass and a lowish bitrate…they are only 360p after all as well.
Not sure that's a good idea, the original are already blurry as fuck and even using some tricks to make the video as small as possible without losing too much quality not sure it will be good enough, and splitting the whole thing in 8MB parts is most definitely not worth the time.

Nice, we got the True End plus Conquest. That means most of Holy Sword should be possible too.

>>993
Does that mean you're done with the capping?

>>994
Not yet, but I've seen the footage so I can see what's coming up. Since the scenes aren't really any different save language, it's pretty obvious what's going on.

So if VitaAnon is still out there, getting all the Normal Ending stuff would be quite handy.

>>995
>Not yet
You need any help with the capping then ?

>>996
Well, do you wanna do Chapter 4, 5, 6, 7 or Conquest?

>>998
Doesn't really matter to me just tell me which video numbers you want the dialog of screencapped and I'll start doing that right now.

Try Ch. 26 & 27. That's Chapter 4. Ch 26 was corrupt on my end, maybe you'll have better luck. It's a short amount of work to do too, only two videos.

W-wait, are we retranslating the whole game, or just the faggy parts?

>>1002
Well, that's a good question. Originally we were just going to target Nep and Ram…but, with actual scripts becoming rapidly available due to these videos, it might not be too much of a problem to look at other characters as well. After all, we can't count on Nick having NOT just screwed up those two…

However the priority targets are Nep and Ram, for sure. But, if we find anything else that was badly done…

…one pet peeve I'd personally like to trash is Nepgear's "Goodness!" shit, which is in no other translation of Nep material outside of Nick's efforts…

>>1003
I'm sort of under the impression that Nick's not incompetent as far as actual translation, he's just a total faggot who wants to compete with Anthony Bursch as to how many memes he can fit into a game.

>>1004
See the thing is, is his Leddit tendencies obscure any of his other work. From what we know, the rough translated script for RB3 was superb. And yet the end result was little better than Victory due to his "go overboard with memes" fetish.

We have a number of really good translators willing to work so the rough conversion to ENG isn't a concern, but I think the risky part is when we get into localization…

Chapter 1 script:
https://anonfiles.com/file/5cd2ed71d06fcee3ebf5a466d12c99b8

That took a little longer than the prologue to write. Got most of the main story, skipped all the tutorial screens. However, some events are missing because the dude didn't bother looking at them. Might be able to fill them in later, from other sources.

Gonna take a small break this week before I move on to chapter 2.

Shit.  Sup.  Few bad things happened.  I got seriously sick over the last week.  And the time I wasn't sucking on sleep and pills, I was sucking on pay-the-rent work and pills.  Mostly recovered at this point.

The other thing is I haven't finished my first run of Rebirth1 so I've been hammering at that more than starting through the RB2 run.  Now with that almost done, and now being more familiar w/the battle and buffs and so on, I'm going to take on RB2.

What I intend to do is a series of screencaps as opposed to making people wait for just text-to-script.  I figure I can release those at least three times a week on /nep/ and /v/ (/v/ doesn't operate at break-neck speeds so I'm confident about throwing up rars).  The caps would actually have all the game's info: menus, attack names, descriptions, etc.

I'm still doing the pure-text pastebins because it helps sharpen my own familiarity with runes.  the pastebins will be the actual story/character script only (shit, can you edit pastebins without an account?  I forget).

I'm also not character partial that's a lie i love the fuck out of Plutia and IF and Vert so I'll be going through however many endings there may be.

tl;dr

- Was sick. sorry.
- Was work. sorry.
- Was Nep-Neping.  Oops.
- At least three nights a week, look forward to caps
- Sunday, look forward to a pastebin dump or edit (or google if i go that route)
- Plutia a best

If you want me to upload that to another filehost I can do that too.

>>1017
Thanks for coming back. What ever you can do to help out.

We've started making some progress, so we should be able to accelerate this quite nicely with this work.

Story-only is just fine…I don't re-translating Chirpers was ever in the cards anyway…at least for RB2.

>>1020
Shit, you work fast, nicely done. Thanks for salvaging that chapter.

35-38 is Chapter 6…it's not too large. 50-55 is Conquest, also reasonably sized if you can stomach it. They are larger than Ch. 4 though.

I actually completely fucked up and wasted two hours for nothing at first

Ok, I'll do that after whenever I wake up.

Hmm. We should really centralize these dumps and scripts. The wiki might be the ideal place for now.

I do already have a wikidot account from many years ago but I'd rather not use it as I don't think it's secure enough.

I'll set up another one linking to my "public" account.

It's not Neptunia related, but here's some things I found in regards to how translated dialogue differs from one another.
It might help how you guys would localize the scenes better than what the original team did.

Here, we can see how Ganon's dialogue from Wind Waker brought out his character, as the tone and message were kept intact…
https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/zelda-windwaker-comparing-ganons-wind-speech-jpneng/

… Compared to how Lucina's victory dialogue and taunts in SSB4 were mishandled, and have her personality changed.

Also I noticed another problem. A free site has a size limit of 300MB.

It'd be convenient to have the unarchived screen caps available to view via mouse-click…since the CH4 caps that were just uploaded weigh in at +400MB, this is clearly an issue.

Well, it's not exactly selfless, I don't think anyone wants to deal with a shit translation when they are trying to unwind. Unlike a lot of other import situations however, we are at least in a position to do something about it.

Huh. Youtube JAP RB2 LP with higher quality footage. Not as complete, but a good find.

>>1056
Good find, way more readable than the Niconico LP I found. 
This will most likely speed up the process of writing down the script and I can fill in some of the missing events for chapter 1.

Uploaded the PDFs to the Wiki. Now sort of figuring out what to do with the screen caps.

I think if I can reduce the file size for these to 35kb then uploading them shouldn't be too hard for our space restrictions. They'll look even worse than they do now, but whatever.

Also I'll drop a credit in for Tsuvasa@LEANSTAR, the LPer we got the footage we have so far as well…

Running batch conversions in IrfanView from the original PNGs to JPG. I'm using the option to save the files at 35kb to ensure that we have plenty of free space on the wiki. I've converted Ch. 4 & 6 already, and Conquest is underway.

The first shot is the raw PNG, the second is the converted JPG. The quality difference around the text, which is what we care about, isn't too bad. It'll be fine until we have some other solution for the wiki where we can open the spigots a bit more.

Alternatively we could just host these images on the Wiki only for the duration of the RB2 translation and then switch them out with RB3 captures when that becomes the thing to do.

>>1007
Updated the chapter 1 script with some of the missing events with the help of the youtube LP.

I think we can get a 95% script out of this and the other.

Vitafag report.  Pushed through prologue and getting in on Ch 1.   I've hit a snag though: my computer's a toaster and I only just realized Vita hates the fuck out of XP, even when using qmca.  

The first drop is gonna take a bit longer.  But at the least it's not an atom bomb of a memory eater (under 40MB at current count of 181 caps).  I either have to figure out a ghetto-rig solution or hijack my friend's win7 laptop.

Did a test on uploading images. The options make it look like you can do 3 pics per row. Seems somewhat inconvenient when we are talking somewhere between 300-900 pictures per chapter (if not more).

http://nickdoerrdidnothingwrong.wikidot.com/wiki:rebirth-2:img-ch4

>>1067
Alright. Hope you find a good solution. Give a shout out to >>1060, there's some Ch 1 shit he still doesn't have even with the other sources we've found. Post it here through Mega or Anonfiles if nothing else.

You are going to be that critical push that gives us a 100% script for the game…

I messed around with the formatting a bit and it looks a bit more possible now for the images. With 100px horizontal resolution thumbnails, that should give everyone between 10-16 pictures per row. That's still like 90 rows but it's way less retarded than what was previously set up. The thumbnails may take up a little bit extra space though.

I wish there was some way we could make it searchable or something but I guess it can't be helped.

>>1068
Likely I will when I'm off-shift, today (had to turn in last night or I was likely to catch hell from lack of sleep).  I have a few options, they just may take long than I care for.  In the meantime, I'm still taking caps.

I'm also hilariously shocked there's no FAQ to mention on Re;Birth2.  Is there a joint google doc anyone here knows about that I could dig up (I know Rebirth 1 had one)?

>>1068
Maybe try linking to slimgur albums or something?

>>1072
That's a thought. I guess we could make an account and dump it all there. I'll need to see what restrictions they have though.

Someone on the /v/ thread was concerned regarding C&D actions. While we can't fully isolate ourselves against such an (extremely unlikely) event, I've made some fair use text for the screen caps with a view to mitigate issues along those lines. I will throw this onto the wiki momentarily:

'W'e would like to credit [http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/46588411 Tsuvasa@LEANSTAR] for some of the source footage we used to help translate this project. We would suggest that you watch his videos at some point, should you have the time.''

Screen captures from this source are likely owned via copyright by another party. We believe that the use of images of this playthrough constitutes "fair use", as they are being used for research purposes in the pursuit of creating a transformative work (a brand new English translation and localization of the game, which would thus superceed the original work in Japanese).

Also SLiMGR has an upload limit of 25MB per account.

Of course there's nothing preventing us from using more than one account. But for sanity purposes a target of one album per chapter is ideal.

TsunGear2.png

Beginning the upload of Ch. 4 to SLiMGR. It has fairly retarded flood detection, one can only upload 100 images per minute. However it seems to like to take a while longer than a minute to deactivate said protection.

This could take a little while.

>>1075
This is why I actually tried making the wiki completely private at first.

>>1078
I'm setting the folders for the images to private as well.

But, a little extra protection. I doubt some boilerplate is going to scare away anons or anyone else for that matter.

What the hell, it's been like 3 hours and I still can't upload another set of 100 images. What the fuck is going on here.

Anyone having any other progress today? Looks like I got stumped personally…

Think I found a bypass to my image transfer problem.  I'll get my caps to disk later on tonight.

I'm also still looking for a guide so I can maximize this runthrough and not miss anything for the sake of efficiency, since there's no pickings to speak of on GameFAQs.

And yes, I actually did not realize yesterday was Friday.  I've been working too hard lately.

>>1084
No problem. Make sure you get Conquest out of the way as soon as you can for RB2, you could lock yourself out of it if you Lily up your crew too much.

Alright, I was able to upload another 100 pictures today, but now after waiting half an hour I'm getting flood detection again. Maybe there's a hard limit of 100 images every 20 hours or something like that.

At this rate, it'll take a month at least to upload all the screen caps that we already have, let alone whatever VitaAnon is organizing.

So SLiMGR doesn't seem like a good solution to this problem.

Some anons in the second most recent Nep thread suggested…

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/
http://imagevenue.com/
http://photobucket.com/
http://puush.me/

…as alternative to SLiMGR.  I guess they all allow hotlinking, if nothing else.

Personally I'm getting to the point where we should just link the Anonfile dumps and just say "fuck it".

>>1088
puush actually deletes your files every month if you don't use them.

So having the screencaps on a free account would amount to a total loss.
I'd advise not using that, since that service is only for quick uploads you plan on showing momentarily.

>>1091
Yeah, I hadn't looked at the link for Puush. Either, doesn't really matter.

Gonna try and get Ch.4 on the wiki today. I hate slow days…

I've linked to >>1039 initial dump of the screens on the wiki.

Pretty much everything we have now, save the videos themselves, are now in one centralized location.

>>1060
How's that second chapter coming?

>>1096
Half-way through. It's twice as long as chapter 1.

Say, any chance we could upload the files found here >>867 to the wiki? I'm not sure about the coding side of things, but we can just edit them and replace the original files with the edited copies to replace the text in game, right? 

So why not upload it and we can start working on translating them in the wiki, and once they are done we just copy paste it into a file?  Would that work?

you guys could probably get in touch with traduko soft or any other independent indie translation team about this.

Eh. I'm a little leery about bringing in outside groups…not that I'm a "muh sekrit club" type at all but this is sort of a sensitive phase of the translation right now.

Besides, I think we can handle RB2 by ourselves. RB3 looks like a whole script replacement, so if there were a situation where we might need to actively seek extra guns, it would be then.

That said, it's a good idea to find any additional groups that have a good track record.

>>1101
That was converted to an Excel/ODS format and put on Google Docs (>>923).

I can post a link to the document. However the Google Documents page doesn't have suggestion control. I did save a fresh version of it in case its vandalized.

I can do a re-upload more controlled version on Google Docs if I need to and alert Editfag to the mirror.

In the meantime I'll upload the saved spreadsheet to the Wiki.

traduko soft has a good track record as far as I know. started translating in 2013, already almost finished with 3 projects including persona 2 eternal punishment for the psp and from their facebook, they just got a new member who's fluent in japanese.

I can shoot a pm to them linking to this project and ask if they wanna help out at all. I can ask if they can help with RB3 and let you guys handle RB2.

*2012

they've also been translating the persona 5 trailers.

>>1112
also, just pm'd them. they said they'll look into it. I linked this thread.

>>1113
Alright. No problems. As long as we get the translation done and at a good quality level, doesn't matter to me.

>>1110
It's fine for now, but the project's starting to become better known.

Added a page with the official English script (in OpenDocument format), and also did sort of a mission statement kinda thing on the main RB2 page.

>>1115
Hmm, we should probably link that Google docs into the wiki as well.

Also, is there any objections to using the Docs as our "Official" Translation?

Edited most of chapter two in the google docs. Video of original scene in brackets, to aid in scene identification.

Edited 0102(https://youtu.be/kU2hs1-3uEc) to be slightly more in line with the spoke Japanese. (Mainly to make IF come off as less of a hardass)

Minor edits to 0115(https://youtu.be/6zTYPIY6x88), mostly phrasing changes.

Minor edits to 0118 (https://youtu.be/1VzP-K_hx-s)

Minor edits to 0152 (https://youtu.be/OcOvG_sXLHk)

Minor edits to 0152, 0153(https://youtu.be/KZFD-Cc0UZY)

Edited 0156 (https://youtu.be/fqeNHURZwqw) Ram sounds more kid like and less bitchy now, I hope.

Edited 0161 (https://youtu.be/PVwSD1Q7WFk). Got rid of "facepalm moment" and general rephrasing here and there.

Edited 0162 (https://youtu.be/vJCjCN2TelQ). Made Ram less bitchy.

Minor edits to 0164 (https://youtu.be/oI4So76ccPE)

>>1117

>>1117
>0118 is a minor edit
>guard no longer breaks fourth wall, Red acts slightly less like a raging bitch

Yep. Should have known that we were opening a can of worms.

If you would be able to BOLD all the changes you made, that would be very helpful for other translators/localizers.

Also I did a little bit of formatting adjustments to your changes. You can only have X number of characters per line before it falls off into space. 251064 on Page 0161 might be a little too long for example, but we can fineness it at a later point.

On box 246064 on Page 0156, I adjusted Rom's sentence a little. The wording is exactly the same, but I replaced the comma in the middle with an ellipsis (as is the common style from Rom's speech). If it is a problem, it's easy enough to revert.

It'll be interesting going over your changes once the Ch. 2 JPN script is made available! Thank you for your work!

>>1119
Just copy and paste the last bit onto the end of a standard YT link, they are there.

For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVwSD1Q7WFk will get to to "Edited 0161".

>>1120
Are you just doing it by the sound, or did we manage to actually get a script?

>>1120
Also, I'm going through changing edited portions to have yellow cells.

>>1121
>>1120
>>1117
>>1122

You know, if we are really going to go ahead with using Google sheets for the translation we probably should have some sort of standard procedure for translators to follow. Even if it is just sometime simple like highlight changed lines in yellow or something. It'd certainly help prevent this from turning into a mess.

>>1123
Alright, tell me if anyone disagrees with this:

Change boxes to yellow for edited text.

From here on out, leave the original text in, with light blue boxes.

>>1124
So, copy paste the original text beside the edit, or create a new row below to place the edit in?

>>1125
Putting it beside the text would be fine, it would probably fuck with whatever script he's going to use to recompile it anyway.

>>1126
would probably be less likely to fuck with*

WHY

>>1131
>Speak of such, is Nepgear's "Goodness!" schtick something reflected in the original dialogue at all? I've never seen her use that tic in any translation effort where Doerr isn't localizing…

Strictly speaking, no. That said, I personally don't think it's worth the effort to edit her tic out. As far as I can recall it only ever comes up when Nepgear is saying something comparable in Japanese, and unlike some of Doerr's other "creative" translations, it doesn't significantly detract from her character or even alter it much.

>>1132
That's, uh, pretty much what she said in Japanese.

Sorry, pal, it's not always Doerr being dumb.

>>1134
うわぎ means coat, not underwear.

>>1134
>>1135
How about just change it to "clothes"? That covers coats and longjohns…

>>1120
Yeah, sorry about that. I might have lost patience with how slow progress has been and just went ahead and did it. I'll try and better note my changes and follow what this guy(>>1124) suggested we do.

>>1119
The youtube links works fine for me. It's shitty quality because I took them back before I knew how to properly operate OBS, but they are functional enough for translation work.

>>1121
I'm doing it by sound. I've said it before, but I don't get the obsession with getting the original Japanese transcript, what with most scenes being voiced. Sure, they are needed to fix the unvoiced chirper events, and it would make things easier, but that's no reason to stop work entirely.

Side note, but we probably should get a list of translators soon. The "anyone with the link can edit" plan works for now, but with news of the project starting to spread it's only a matter of time before some troll from cuckchan or something and draws metaphorical dicks all over it.

>>1120
>You can only have X number of characters per line before it falls off into space. 251064 on Page 0161 might be a little too long for example, but we can fineness it at a later point.

I've already got a backup in ODS of the original script, and also the script as it was about 18 and 12 hours ago.

Plus a copy of the original is on the wiki.

>>1137
>Side note, but we probably should get a list of translators soon. The "anyone with the link can edit" plan works for now, but with news of the project starting to spread it's only a matter of time before some troll from cuckchan or something and draws metaphorical dicks all over it.
For that it would probably be better if I set up some sort of group or had the emails of the translations, so I could lock down the doc and add them to the whitelist.

>>1141
Did you mean "emails of the translators?"

If so, weanoob@8chan.co, I'm also admin of the wiki.

Chapter 5 screen caps, crosspost from /v/.

>>1141
There seems to be a trend that way. Not going to release my e-mail plain text though…maybe Tox?

>>1144
>>1143
Alright, looks like I'll lock down the doc and add the email. As for the Tox thing go ahead and send me a message on it.

>>1145
You should probably open commenting to the public, just restrict editing rights. Let others comment on the translation as well.

Also, sent you a request for edit access through email.

>>1146
Done and done.

>>1144
Can I ask you to prioritize capping the chirpers and voiceless scenes? That's what we REALLY need right now.

>>1148
Sure, go ahead.

Okay, progress report: I've gone through the Lastation and Lowee arc of Chapter 2 (0102 to 0178). That section SHOULD be free of cancer now. 

You guys probably should go take a look at it, but assuming that there aren't any problems we should be able to mark those sections as done.

Use comments to point out any issues, if you find them.

I was the anon that did chapter 5, the LP I am capping from did not go through any of those events in his videos so I wasn't able to cap them. Though I could go and see if another LP has.

Alright, now that I'm not 502ing or 404ing at the moment, I'm wondering if we should maybe either hook up on IRC or set up a groupbot and go through Tox. Any preferences?

>>1154
I'd prefer IRC, since it should be more familiar to people here.

>>1154
IRC would be preferred from me as well.

>>1154
Don't really mind either, don't really think it's that useful for the people outside of the translation group though.

>>1007
Just an update on how it's going with the Chapter 2 script.
Chapter 2 is the longest and probably most dialogue heavy chapter in the game since it introduces most of the main characters, which is why this has taken longer than expected.

I've just finished the Lowee arc script of the chapter meaning that 2/3 of it is done. I hope to get the rest done this week but other things are getting in the way that is slowing down progress.

by the looks and sounds of it, this may get done in a few months, right? it sounds like alot of progress is being made.

>>1160
Well, there's only two guys actually working on translation at the moment, plus one editor, but assuming nothing fucks us up, we should have at least a v1 available by the end of this month. Maybe sooner, if we manage to get more help.

Alright, I think I have the IRC channel nearly ready. Just one last question, you guys want it keyed or not? I don't think it's going to be a high traffic affair, but you never know…

>>1162
I doubt there will be a need for a password, since it's easy enough to ban and kick people from any IRC channel, as well as restrict chat to people with voice or higher.

>>1163
That's sort of what I thought. Anyway, here we go…

irc.rizon.net
#nepchemo

This is long overdue, but the reason about no sticky for this and no new banners either is because I forgot my password months ago, when this place was mostly dead. I figured the board was deleted already.
Sorry guys. I have failed you all.

>>1166
I'm not that familiar with how 8chan works, but it'd be nice if you could turn on that unique ID feature for this board. At the very least it'd make it easier to keep track of active members and gauge interest.

Oh. OK.

Hopefully that's been fixed?

I've been trying to contact Hotwheels to restore my volunteer access, but he never responds, so I'm with my arms crossed. I'll keep trying anyway.
About Unique ID: noted.

>>1169
Maybe try getting a hold of Mark on /v/? That could speed things up. He have an e-mail?

Also it might not be a bad idea to get an extra vol or two. /nep/ doesn't require a lot of janitors, but it does have a useful niche right at the moment so having some potential backup might not be a bad thing.

I'll directly tell Mark myself. You can count on me.
I'll post again if I have any updates.

>>1171
Waiting warmly for news.

Alright, now that RB3 has an official release date, we've essentially got a deadline for the RB2 section of the project.  Preferably, we should get things done, at least to a releasable state,  one week before the release date, which means 1st November. 

So, let's try and get chapter two and three done by the end of this week.

>>1173
Agreed.

Also keep in mind we have Japanese RB3 playthroughs on hand.

Given it's likely the whole game is completely fucked we could just start going right into RB3 work as soon as RB2 is done with.

>>1174
One step at a time, boys. We are still nowhere near getting RB2 retranslated. Sure, we've made alot of progress, but there's still 5 chapters worth of content left, and most of the cancer is localized in chapter five and the chirper events, which we haven't even touched yet.

Lets talk about RB3 after that is done.

>>1175
And, on that note, Chapter 2 is done.

It needs an editing pass, but assuming we don't find anything I think we can officially state that chapter 2 is cancer free. That's a good third of the game, so if we keep going at this rate we should be able to meet that Nov 1st deadline with time to spare.

Editor reporting in, I forgot to put in the Chirper events since they most likely have Doerr cancer, so here they are along with other potential documents that may need to be inspected such as attack names, plans, quests, and items

http://www.filedropper.com/rb2chirperandotherthings

>>1177

stavtmsg.gbin = Chirper events
stremake.gbin = Plans
stquest.gbin = Quests
stsqitem.gbin = Items
stskill.gbin.txt = Attack names
stcharakp.gbin.txt = Chirper events (Receive an item)
stitem.gbin.txt = Other Items

>>1177
Thanks! Once we get the main dialogue done, we could probably investigate those…

>>1178
>>1177
Just imported them into a spreadsheet and uploaded them to google docs.

Mark said he'll sticky the thread.
But it seems like he hasn't yet.

In terms of your account, HW seems to be the only one capable of that.

>>1182
Well, HW did some shitposting in /v/ tonight. Maybe he'll get around to some shit now.

>>1183
That's actually Mark who did that.
HW came by to check this bug out that got everyone riled up, and answered a few shitposting questions about Pokemon and stuff.

>>1184
Well, I guess they both shitposted then, but…

Anyway, as a side issue, I'm doing a grammar/loc. pass of Chapter 2. Once we get everything green as we can with that, and there's nothing left to go nuclear over, hopefully we won't have to won't about it again…

In the mean time, I've updated the wiki to reflect all the new sources of information we've received over the last week or so.

And chapter three seems to pretty much be done by now. As usual, it probably needs an editing pass, but we are progressing at a pretty rapid rate.

>>1221
Yeah. Chapter 4 should go by pretty fast too.

Chapter 5, on the other hand…

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the translation doc on Google?

>>1227
Google Docs is down for now…hopefully it'll be back soon.

>>1228
It's working again.

Couple of things, it would be nice for anyone contributing to the translation to use the provided IRC channel and co-ordinate things if possible. Share notes about lines and ask questions.

Also…who the fuck did this to Chapter 4?

[Hide] (157.9KB, 300x368)

>>1262
Looks like that was done before we put the stronger document protections on it.

Ah well, only thing that it's doing to the translation team is making them aggressively work on Chapter 4.

>>1262
And that's fixed, and chapter 4 is done. Go do what you do, editors.

Also, I personally want to replace all mentions of Nep jr with Nepgear. Is this okay?

>>1264

>Also, I personally want to replace all mentions of Nep jr with Nepgear. Is this okay?

I wouldn't mind

Okay, so apparently, we are missing the corresponding script to this scene:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CszV7F1hZvk

We have the second part of this (0631), but not the first. Anyone have any idea where it's stored?

Hm. Looks like we might have found a scene in the game that never got properly implemented.

Editfag, if you are here, think we can get this working? If it helps, it should play sometime during Ch. 5 or 6.

Maybe there's an audio track in the game referencing this as well…

Annd I think I misread the post there since I looked on Google Docs and the original scene is still there.

Stayin up does weird shit yo.

But anyways, I'm not too sure about putting in the calendar event in favor of the idol skit since its very long and it has more than 2 characters

I could try but it'll probably be heavily modified.

>>1324
>Annd I think I misread the post there since I looked on Google Docs and the original scene is still there.
Err, yeah, that's because I just edited it back.

>>1320
I guess that explains why its more charming than 85% of Nick's dialogue…

>>1159
Thanks for your work. Hope to hear from you soon. We've gotten a lot in regarding the game so far.

On the /v/ thread someone dropped this tid-bit info. That's one less week to work with before RB3 becomes a thing, now.

>>1338
Eh, we were aiming for a Nov 1st release in the first place. Bringing it forth by a couple of days isn't that impossible.

On that note, the core of chapter 5 (351-374) is done and ready for editing. There's still a few scenes left in chapter five to go through, such as the goddesses joining events, but the core story is fully looked over.

I don't see the text strings for the map names in either the main or secondary scripts we are using…are those something we can dig out? Otherwise we won't be able to repair the "LAN Castle/Gathering Castle" misnaming…

>>1350
Aren't we just changing it to LAN castle in the main script? It's already named LAN castle on the map.

>>1351
I thought we were changing it from LAN to Gathering?

Well, whatever, it's sort of academic if you can't change the dungeon names. If that's the case then it'll have to be Gathering -> LAN for sure.

Oh, and Ramon changed the name of Hematite to the new item name today in the secondary text spreadsheet…he also found some weird errors in the Chirper script. I don't know if they manifest in game but they look like they'd be late game Chirpers if they did. We marked them all the same…

Oh I for got but he also found a lot of "Nep Jr." nonsense in the secondary text as well. Naturally that is now all "Nepgear"…

Actually here's another thought as well. Perhaps we could "revert" the battle description text strings to their (probably closer) RB1 forms where possible?

>>1353
Battle description text strings?

0601 (Holy Moe maids scene),
0602 (Octopus),
0603 (Cosplay),
0610 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLlNXImk0v4), 
0611 (Kei and Uni's cake scene), 
0616 (Uni and Nepgear and Guns)
0621 (Blanc and the balancing board)

are done and ready for review.

>>1354
stskill.gbin, that stuff…

0621(Blanc and the wiifitboard)
0630 (Neptune and Nepgear Idol unit)
0631 (Gamindustri popularity contest)
0645 (Brave's proposal w/ Noire)
0646 (Brave's proposal w/ Kei)
0647 (Noire's swimsuit scene)

are also done, and ready for review.

And Conquest(0500 to 0529, & 0537) is done. 

Now I need to go get a drink.

Im just curious but:
is anything going to be done with Ai-chan's Nep-ko vs Iffy's Neppers, or Compa's GeGe vs Nep-chan, or will you leave those alone?
What about titles and names like Nepgear often calling Neptune Onee-chan or the way characters speak to each other with -san -chan etc?

>>1368
Nah, we are leaving those alone. I'm not in the mood to get into a "Honorifics or no" debate, and frankly, we have enough work as it is without rehauling upwards of 90% of the script for what's essentially a minor grub.

Okay, all the normal endings and chapter 6 has been translated.

(0401 to 0404) & (0530 to 0535)

>>1368
Yeah, most of those we aren't touching right now. We did change "Nep Jr." into "Nepgear" though, that particular one wasn't too hard to fix and it improved Neptune's intelligence by 10 IQ points.

>>856
I speak native Spanish, I don't think anyone ever gets confused by lack of accents.

I still cant believe how much work you guys did so quickly. The goddesses would be proud.

>>1373
We're only half done. We still got RB3 to do. Want to help out? We could use people who can into English decently for sentence structure and spelling and all that stuff.

And Chapters Seven and eight (0402 to 0472, 0536) are done. Time for some proofreading.

All that's left now is the share blade ending, and once that's done and proofread, v1.0 is complete. ETA one day.

>>1375
Should get Editfag on this and give it a playtest…

Alright, we are done here. Share blade ending (0541 to 0553) is complete. It helps that almost all of it is flat out copy pasted from chapters 7 and 8.

In anycase, our part is done. All that's needed now is proofreading, then it's time to export it and reintegrate it into the game proper.

Adter Re;Birth 2 and 3 get translated, can you guys translate 1? It was a good translation but I like playing with Nip voices and I want the text to be a literal translation, not a fucking "localization."

>>1379
It's generally agreed that Rebirth1 is fine at most, so I don't think it's part of the list.

Besides, Rebirth3, from what people have seen, is going to be a hell of a ride.
Probably worse than Rebirth2.

>>1379

Odds are slim. Odds are very slim.

>>1379
I could see a place for a patch to fix where the text goes off the rails in some places on the PC version. But, you hardly need a translation team for that.

The likelihood of a hyper-literal translation with broken uncorrected grammar, Japanese memes, etc. is about 0.1% chance of happening.

Just go ahead and fix them if you find any.  We tried our best to find them, but evidently more than a few slipped through the cracks.

Hello.

I recently found out about your translation project and always kinda wanted to help out on one so I was wondering if you guys might need another hand on the R3 project. I took Japanese when I was in school but have since forgot most of it (lack of use) and thought I might be able to re-learn and help out if I can. I know hira/katakana, a fair chunk of basic grammar and I know how to use a kanji dictionary. I don't expect to be all that much use but don't mind doing busywork (like translate the whole item list or something).

Would you guys need someone like me?
