Re: Seinarukana
No, though Nighteye's translation is mostly complete, he skips a few more minor scenes at the beginning and stylistically changes the script a bit to make it seem like a storybook than an RPG
Re: Seinarukana
Even though there are parts that he got slightly wrong (or overlooked his own mistakes ) ... Im by no way be able to compare to him when it comes to the narration which has no voice =o=...
Meh, i have this half-ass ability of mine =o=....only able to understand partly what they talks but none from what they wrote =o= ...
T_T...
STill, thanks him realy much =o= ... AGTH is much harder to DECIPHER
I think i can get by like this...with the combination of my half-ass listening skill and his almost completed translation

Re: Seinarukana
Hmm...
i have been wondering...
why most translation so lenient ?
Am i the only one translate the lines down to each and every words ?
Btw, Ofc, i know there are place that we need to overlook words so that we understand the meaning of the whole line ...
For example a line from nozomi :
I translate to :
"…Ah, Nozomu-chan!? Are u hurt ? Do you feel bad anywhere ?" (down to every word is '…Ah, Nozomu-chan!? Does your body hurt ? Do you feel bad anywhere ?" but that sounds lame so lets go with "are u hurt" )
While, Nighteye translate to :
“…Ah, Nozomu-chan!? Are you hurt, is anything wrong?”
Mah, i know its very minor but why was there even a need to alter it like that i wonder :\
And the reason it bothers me is because this leniency in translation leads to mistakes a lot (sometimes it changes even the meaning - mah, they still fit the flow so whatever )

Remeber that the point of translation is to localize the script for English-speaking audiences, not just translate it.iamin7ove wrote:Hmm...

Re: Seinarukana
"…Ah, Nozomu-chan!? Are u hurt ? Do you feel bad anywhere ?" is not good enough ? for localizing ?
Re: Seinarukana
I think the point is most english speakers don't tend to spit out three questions but are more likely to combine them into one that refers to all aspects. Basically making it seem more natural to english speakersiamin7ove wrote:"…Ah, Nozomu-chan!? Are u hurt ? Do you feel bad anywhere ?" is not good enough ? for localizing ?

Re: Seinarukana
It has been made that way in japanese, and you most of the time, you can't make a direct (litteral) translation from japanese to english. Translation is more complicated than just taking words from a language and replacing them with words from another language. It takes 3 steps:
Litteral translation is bad, especially from japanese, because sentences won't sound like a natural English (or whatever language you translate into).
The translated text might convey things differently than the original, but still it won't make it a bad translation. Writing in a natural English is better than translating litteraly.

- Understanding
- Rewriting

Re: Seinarukana
but somehow, natural english sounds less emotional =o= and sometimes less interesting
which is something rather fatal in literacy =o=
