What the fuck is this?

/jp/ has begun to finish a fuckin' project to translate the goddamn visual novel Hatsukoi, one of the fucking highest rated according to the Japanese.

Are you in need of translators?

Shit yeah! Anyone who knows Japanese (and English) is sure as hell welcome to join and start fucking translating with the simple and goddamn easy-to-use REtrans™ Web Interface now with fucking awesome Accelerated AJAX Technology.

Are you in need of editors?

Godfucking damnit, you bet. You don't even need to fucking know Japanese to help improve the English text, so your participation is fucking encouraged.

What is the length/progress/ETA?

The total length of all the goddamn content is approximately 32K lines. We are at approximately motherfucking 66.2580%.

If you don't need me then go ahead. I don't really care.

I'm not bawwing, I'm pointing out that this project has gone from bad to worse. Seriously, learn what words mean before you say them.

Since it's summer I had some extra time and was planning on translating one of the routes if possible, but just look at the scripts for yourself. Coco is LITERALLY a babelfish translation.

Example:
「A good man is lost love of the suicidal explosion readiness; this; this; to be enough……I am ashamed」

The rest of the script is full of different variations of punctuation and formatting, making it flow terribly. The script currently needs editing even more than it needs translation.

I'm not trying to hate on this, I want the project to succeed.
I mean, seriously, I put in time into it as well.

How much is left of the FH translation, and is the quality at least better than Hatsukoi?

>>5956470
Thanks for the link!

>>5956817
Perfection is not an issue.
However, it's just... difficult to work with. Everything is going to need to be re-edited anyways, all the parts translated with babelfish/google/whatever will need to be completely redone.
The standards for formatting are vague, which as a translator makes me worry that even if I translate a large chunk it would just be inevitably causing more work for anyone editing if the formatting rules changed later on.

So, my advice to you is
①Learn to read.
②After doing so, read the script for yourself and see what I'm talking about.
③Learn to spell "anything" and "faggot" properly while you're at it.
