I have a newfound respect for translators.

So what are you translating?

From the looks of what he posted, obviously some nukige.

You should get used to that in time. After 10% your speed will pick up.
>spend hours upon hours upon hours translating text, making sure it is not too literal yet not too Working Designs-ish
This would be editor's job, get one so you don't have to worry about that so much.
>only 0.7% done after three days
If you're doing longer game this is to be expected.

Big Bang Age

somebody posted the System4.0 tools that Yandere used for Sengoku Rance on /jp/ a while ago, so I've been trying to mess around with it. but it's too much for one person.

Hey OP. Would you be willing to work with Yandere on this if they were willing to help you?

Delete this thread. Start a new one announcing that you're translating Big Bang Age and having trouble/needing an editor. Get more posts.

I want...

>>3949963

Do this, OP.

>> No.3950001

Yeah don't worry about being too literal. Get a few editors, and tell them to make those better.
And I'd recommend massreplacing the ellipses too.

Literal translations are retarded. Use English phrases and mannerisms, since your audience speaks English!

Throw it up a proper project page on TLwiki or something, you can probably get some more help there. Personally, I can help probably help you with TLC some between my other projects.

It started a month ago and the translator's almost done with the School Chapter. Assuming OP's not trolling, which he probably is since the Rance tools don't work on Big Bang Age, they could combine forces.
