Tales of Destiny Translation?

[rootbeerking]

I'm playing ToDr right now...so good so good!  I got alittle teary when the OP started...

As for the renaming that's to bad... But it would be nice if you got it to work with 12ish characters... Just so peoples like my self who would want the original names could rename them. Of course I know you're not really working on a translation...but i'm just saying... That's what I'd perfer. Anywho back to the game! So fun!

Think you can get my TOD fonts?

People complain about translations alot, but there is a difference between localizing and translatng a game, which is why  many felt that Paper Mario for the gamecube had better dialouge for the NA than the Japanese version.

Yeah, I think most of us here realize that though.

sry if this annoys anyone by bumping but are you guys still considering this project?

[Datschge]

are you guys still considering this project?

Yes, sometime after ToD PSX, ToP PSX, ToD2 and ToR.

Mild topic necromancy follows.

Looks like getting the translation of everything might be the only hard part of doing a patch. Might be worth your time to dump all the text now and post it someplace, so maybe by the time you're done with the other games, someone will have translated the text for this one and all you'll have to do is plug it in.

There is already a translation of the game's main script actually, though it's a pretty rough one. Considering that typing up the script from memory is quite a hassle as it is, that's not all that surprising. So, a script dump would help greatly in this respect. *wink wink nudge nudge*
...Pretty please?

Yeah, but those NPCs add way more than you think they do, never mind skits and stuff.

I don't remember saying that those were unimportant. (Hopefully I'm not just being forgetful.) Some of the skits (most, even) are translated actually, though again, they're pretty rough. Heck, the incompleteness probably bothers me more than it does you. Wish I could do more to help that, but there's only 24 hours in a day.
I'm aiming for a full localization (if Namco doesn't get there first), whether just a script or a proper patch - and by no means did I mean to imply that the wiki in its current state would be adequate for such purposes. But it will get done eventually, it is only a matter of when.

That translation isn't exactly very useful.

You'd still need someone who's at least somewhat familiar with Japanese to sort/identify every line of text (unless you go with a babelfish trial/failure gambling approach) and make sure it's implemented in the correct spot in your DB. That would pretty much take more time than it would take to just have that same person re-translate everything + more.
