So basically this will never be finished?

>>3785866
Exactly.

>>3785866

If you keep up to date with these threads you'd know that there will be a huge spike in the lines per week during December when the Christmas holidays start. It'll still take a few months but it'll be finished eventually.

>>3785845
wait wasn't this at 18% last time?
why the fuck aren't you making progress?

>>3786180

It was 16% at the start of the last thread

Oh. That really is slow.

age

I might be willing to do a few lines if someone explained to me how that reTrans thingy works

>>3786896
Chose a script file (route), click the line you want to translate/edit.

Such as:

http://retransintl.freewebhostx.com/transproj.PHP?proj=hatsukoi&file=COMMON.txt&start=4700

http://retransintl.freewebhostx.com/recedit.PHP?proj=hatsukoi&file=COMMON.txt&row=4726

>兄妹が恋人
>My Sibling is a Changed Person

Who the fuck translated that

>>3785841
please stop spamming Ａｎｏｎ Ｔａｌｋ .com thanks

>>3786896
Looks like we'll have to get a user's guide written after all...

>>3786935
Don't forget that we're still looking for editors, and if you find something wrong you're more than welcome to jump in and edit.

>>3787111
The issue is not the English, the issue is that it's a completely wrong translation.

>>3786935
Where do you see that?

>>3787111
Yeah, write a good guide, tell me where to start, also, do you have a page with conventions? It would help ensure that special words, titles etc. are translated the same way throughout the text

>>3787172
It was on E.txt. I fixed it.

>>3786935

they probably misread 恋 as 変. People make mistakes sometimes, that's why we need editors and people checking stuff over like you did.

>>3787173
>>3787111
Yes, well, not a user-guide for the interface, but in order to get a coherent translation, we should gather some general conventions and information for stuff like:
- name lists (kanji)
- honoforics use, when to translate stuff like onii-chan as big brother
- special traits of certain characters and the likes
- how to deal with characters like 。……▼ 「」？ (use . ... "" ? instead etc.)

>>3787218

with the multitude of random anons that pitch in a few lines here and there, some people will miss any such announcement. This could help to some degree, but basically at 100% there'll be a lot of proofreading to do.

Can someone give me a name list, at least?

>>3785843

。……▼ 「」？ I've been copying and pasting them right back in or not deleting them at all.

I like this way of translating, despite the obviouse drawbacks. I will try to do a few lines every day. It does look like it's progressing rather nicely though, I can see change from when this thread was posted.

>>3787173
We're aiming to have that done before this reaches 20%. Currently, read the previous threads in the archive (starting at the linked list in the OP) to get yourself more knowledgeable with the project.

I asked multiple times in the past whether a discussion board or something similar would be useful, but was not met with any positive responses. Everyone thought these threads would be enough information. How about now?

babump

>>3787632
This is what all the previous translators have done. And leave the quotes alone too, the game engine doesn't handle "English quotes" very well.

saving this thread from doom

Bump!

delete the bump posts later after the flood is over

but keep this thread alive, it's not even a day old!

Bumping through the poll faggotry.

>>3791074
...and it looks like it's survived!

bampu pantsu~

Bump

another bump

You should also post this in /a/.
Sometimes /a/ has translation thread and suddenly a translator appear.

>>3793660

We aren't that desperate, Anonymous.

Bump. Godspeed, translators.

>>3794138
Agreed. /a/ would probably bring more unwanted attention to the project.

bump!

I will need to continue translating after I've returned from spending time with family. I had 2 papers due yesterday and today I've been recovering. Tomorrow is Turkey day which means I many not get back onboard till Friday

>>3796391
You're not the only one doing translation, so that's fine. But thanks for the update.

bampu pantsu~

KOKO and CARIN haven't changed much since last week... any extra translators coming in are advised to work on those.

bump

There is some discussion going on around here that /jp/ wants to translate some other VNs as well. We may add another project or two to the site, so you can choose others to work on as well.

>>3800505
What? So that things get delayed even further? Expect a Hatsukoi translation in 2013 then.

Still, I'd very beneficial to have something like described in >>3787173
>>3787218.

You would acctually need 915 lines a day to finish by december 31st. Also, I doubt everyone would work through the holidays. (Although... this IS /jp/ so maybe progress would bic UP. But in that case they won't work through exam week at least.)

Might I suggest: If you can get to 560 lines a week, it should be finished by the end of 2010.

That's still alot better than 2012, and way more realistic than ~1k lines a day, heck 560/week is a goal you can even EXCEED.

>>3800736
Ahhh, I see. The OP was post 2 days ago when ~700 a day was accurate (still ridiculous... I wonder if it's a joke). Neat that it's been bumped safe for 2 days now.

Convince me about the good points of this game and I might consider lending a hand.

>>3800756
Have you even read the EGS comments? That's probably the best place to start.

>>3800756
Chck out the initial threads on easymodo.

>>3800505
What are these "some other VNs"?

>>3800505
>/jp/ wants to translate some other VNs as well
Which would these be? Katahane, and...?

>>3801137

If it's F/HA then I'm all in for it.

...no?

>>3801152
Silly, hollow ataraxia already has a translation project!

Speaking of which, how 'bout that Otome Function?

>>3801155

I don't know what you're talking about.

>>3800685
It won't get delayed, in fact we may stand a better chance of picking up more translators.

>>3800736
5 translators, 100 lines a day, that's 3.5K per week. This is around what I'm expecting when we get to the winter break where everyone has nothing else to do besides translate (and play Touhou, lurk /jp/, etc.) The guy who did COMMON is capable of at least 300 per day.

bampu~

up, thread, up!!!

keep this thread alive for 2 weeks just like the last one

pity bump.

oh, and how should i learn recursion before i read sicp?

>>3804331

>>3804331
TRANSLATE HATSUKOI

>>3804738

Receive SICP?

>>3804380
Thanks, bro.

Can you select chapters/scenes you want to play once you finished them? It would make translation for me, with my limited japanese knowledge much easier and more precise if I knew more about the context and tone of what is being said.

So if someone could upload a save file, I appreciate it.

>>3805371
Read the previous threads. Someone uploaded a savefile before.

>>3805371
Here ya go, everything in my folder with a .sav
http://www.mediafire.com/file/y4zyzl3y3my/Hatsukoi save.rar

It should be the beginning of every route and where I'm at translating Anzu

>>3802019
>5 translators, 100 lines a day, that's 3.5K per week
That's... Pretty insane speed.

>>3806331
If they just pulled of 5000 lines at Christmas, that's almost as much as they have done now.
If the project survives till summer, it will be ease to finish during it.

ANZU is coming along nicely.
COCO hasn't been touched in over a week.
COMMON is progressing well and over 70% complete.
KARIN also hasn't changed for more than a week.
KOMOMO is moving at a detectable rate.
YUSUMI looks like it recently acquired a translator.

...posting on 4chan from work, lol.

bampu~

Gotten about 200 lines translated on Anzu today. Goddamn idioms again

でも年頃の女の子に、いつまでもお尻突き出させとくわけにはいかないし

>>3810015
So the rear end it makes the girl extend around year, forever and it is not possible to solve and.

>>3810015
Best I can come up with is, you're at the marriageable age already but your ass will forever stick out.

Though that would be rather humorous to leave translated like that I'm sure there's a better meaning.

>>3807248
TLDR: out of the only two interesting characters in this game, only one is actually having a translator.

>>3810015
(I?) can't let a girl of her age keep showing her butt like that forever.

Dunno the context, was the best i could come up with in english.

>>3810088
I'll go with that till someone comes up with something better. The next line is her yelling at him for being a pervert

Damn, I should've read two more lines, it's because she's squatting in front of the TV that he says that. Now the line makes sense. He's just picking on her again. Silly Onii-chan

>>3810088
What's wrong with a teenager showing her ass? You see that in anime all the time.

Make a real webpage for your translation or GTFO, troll.

>>3810288
>implying the current one isn't real and is only a shared imagination by some of /jp/

>>3810288
But that will just slow down the translation!

Morning bump.

...and as the end of the week approaches soon, so does the next status update!

>>3810015
That's the spirit.

Babump!

Babump.

>>3804331
(defun achieve-satori (lambda faggot (achieve-satori faggot)))

Only a few hours left until the next update, if you want to get in on this week's report then now would be a good time to work.

>>3815553
This isn't compiling, do (I (need (more (parentheses))))?

>>3815633
You need to TRANSLATE MORE HATSUKOI

i died.

two more weeks and i'm done with school.

oh god. i forgot how to use 4chan.

school ends in 2 weeks.

>>3816226
You sure did be careful there.

Goddamn idioms
なんだやぶから棒に

it's a stick in the bush? Seriously, what the fuck does that mean.

>>3786935
うわ～、恥ずかしいだもん！

I'd be willing to help but I'd like to paid for it (my future career, currently taking advanced translations classes, I has proof of my 1337 translation skillz if you so desire to see it... in fact I'm working on a work right now.)

>>3810088
no no what the person is saying is this

"でも年頃の女の子に、いつまでもお尻突き出させとくわけにはいかない
し"

But for girls of her age, it's impossible to get them to stick out their butts.

>>3816755
HAHA figured this one out basically it means

"W(TF). That was unexpected."

Fuck you all. FUCK YOU ALL. I finished up to 1000 lines of Anzu. I don't want to hear shit from anyone anymore ok? I'm sick of people complaining that it's not going fast enough. I'm translating because I enjoy the game and I started this whole project promising I would translate it. So I'm translating it, as promised.

No more complaints. Especially you.

>>3816955

You all right buddy ?

Seems like someone just cracked up.

>>3816955
Well, I do appreciate your efforts.
Just throwing that out there.

>>3817220
Hey, I heard someone fucked your girl, everybody hates you, and the only women who love are too young or too crazy/unholy . And your author is too busy wanking to nicovideo all day.

>>3816955
Fuck what everyone else says, anon. Thanks for the hard work and keep doing your best!

>>3816955
Actually, I started this project. But keep up the good work, your rate is good enough.

>>3817672
i think i've only actually done 30~ lines of translating.

also, bump.

636 lines this week. ETA is end of 2010.

I'm estimating almost 10x that speed during the holiday break. We'll finish early 2010 if that happens.

>>3818033

>636 lines this week.

Fuck yes.

>>3818048
That one guy who was talking like he planned to put forth all of his effort come December/January and not stop until it's completed. If that materializes, maybe we can see it completed sometime in February. Maybe.

I can dream, anyway.

>>3818073
For some reason I want to make the release on April 1st.

>>3818489

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!

>>3818489

Well played if you do.

>>3818489
A little over 4 months from now. We need 7Klines/month to achieve that goal, or around 233 lines per day. Editors and translators, this is what you should aim for!

bampu~

Do you need any help with image editing and such?

>>3819676
Are there even any images that need editing?
All we seem to be doing are translating and editing the actual scripts.

>>3819730
That's why I'm asking. It's kinda unbelievable that there isn't any images to edit, so maybe nobody has done anything about it yet.

Looking at the level of quality you're aiming for right now you might as well just babelfish the whole script and be done tomorrow.

bampu pantsu~

>>3818033
Good work this week, translators. Keep it up!

>>3819764
It's not that bad, compared to some COMMERCIAL translations...

>>3819764
I think I did pretty good on Shuffle! before it got picked up by Mangagamer judging by how what I translated compared to theirs, granted I made mistakes (I'm about 85% efficient) but that's why I ask questions here and elsewhere. My translations come out kinda stiff but that's what editors are for.

>>3822192
And you're translating Hatsukoi right now? Awesome.

bampu pantsu~

Not much activity today... the calm before the storm?

I'm helping you translate you fags but I'm skipping around alot.

bampu pantsu~

Oh hey don't mind me,

just being a nice leech over here waiting for you fags to complete your work for me

another bump

I'll help you guys by the end of December.
Too much stuff to do now.

>>3826208
Don't worry about it. There are several translators.

>>3824116
Much sorry but after doing what I could over the weekend on Anzu I'm stuck with two more projects due this week (two papers last week, short break, two projects this week) then finals with little time in between I'm going to have to take another break.

School's out the 17th and I'll have nothing to do till January.

Morning bump.

Why bump this shit? No one cares.

>>3831077

And yet you'll be all over this shit once it's done.

omg i cant wait :)

>>3831077
Why bump it? Because not everyone who visits /jp/ spends every waking hour here and someone who knows japanese or is able to work with programs or edit translated lines so they're smooth might have missed it before. So the longer it spends on the front page the better.

From the standpoint of someone like myself who likes visual novels but doesn't read japanese and hates atlas.

>>3831433
>not everyone who visits /jp/ spends every waking hour here
This is the problem with /jp/.

>>3831077
go fuck yourself

>>3831434
Shouldn't you be playing with your dolls right about now, Jun?

>>3831442
Their cases are still closed and I'm already making the tea.

We have, in a little less than 3 months, reached 20%. If we continue at the same rate, we'll be done in a year, but I'm still optimistic about the rate going up dramatically soon.

>>3831878
I get the feeling the TL checking and editing will take another few months, though.

>>3831878

It's nice to see 20% is finally broken.

>>3785842
stop spamming and ddosing Ａｎｏｎ Ｔａｌｋ .com also stop trolling and harassing us and remove all clones and troll articles and lies and leave us alone if u do this well stop posting these msgs forever

Would you guys want editors working on it before it's fully translated?

>>3832862
Try to come up with one reason why not.

>>3832885
I don't know how your editing goes down. Do you keep copies of the translation and the edited phrase just sits by it, or something? Because troll editors or people who just suck in general could screw this up.

>>3831882
Basic English editing shouldn't take long, since there are a lot more people on /jp/ who know English better than (or instead of) Japanese.

>>3832900
Take a look at the interface yourself. It keeps the change history for every line.

>>3832946
Awesome. I won't be afraid of sucking, then.
