Dakkodango Translations

Welcome to the Dakkodango forums. You can use this thread to ask any general questions about the group, the forums, or the translation patch.

You can also come to our IRC channel:
#dakkodango on irc.synirc.net.

What are your expectations of a script editor? Are they also going to be beta tester? or will those two jobs be entirely separate?

I'd expect an editor to read through every scene carefully at least once and change anything they think needs to be changed. Of course, all staff members will be able to be participate in beta testing when that time comes. Beta testing is still a ways off, so I'm not sure whether we'll need to hire additional people for that or not.

As mentioned above editors should also immediately check their changes ingame so in that respect they are playtesters as well. Cheese's made a neat scene viewer which enables you to view the scenes in English which is necessary to make the layout work. You need the game to be able to edit the scripts, otherwise it's impossible to avoid problems with the layout and text space (although it's naturally possible to proofread the script and come up with corrections even without having the game).

I don't see anyone by the name of Dakkodango on the staff page for Dakkodango Translations...
Why Dakkodango Translations? What's the story behind the name?

Did cheese start this translation project? <3

EDIT: Will the opening video be translated as well? Adding subs to the video?

It's just because Dakkodango is a badass name.

Conanak99 is working on that right now.

I want to know if the translations is using the original version of the game or the update patch v1.01 from leaf official support site.

The translation patch will use the latest version of the game.

2 questions based off of that:

1) What is the latest version of the game?

and

2) What is the preferred method of submitting found errors and/or suggestions for changes in the script translation?

The English patch will automatically update your installation to the latest version, so you won't have to worry about installing this if you haven't already.

I'll post a thread for that once beta testing starts. You can also contact any of the staff on IRC.
