Progress report

[aquagon]

Actually, Cloche's side of the Infelsphere is still unclaimed.

As for the things KWhazit mentioned:

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

-As far as I know, that phrase is only mentioned in there.
-Hmm, it's somewhat difficult to handle, but I guess that "miss" should suffice.
-"Bondgem" sounds better, and closer to what the original name was.
-They need some checking, though as far as I remember, the names of the gems were also the names of the places in the Infelsphere in which they are received.
-I think that bread is better here, given that's the staple of basic food for most Western cultures.
- The phrase is good enough as you have it now.

EDIT: By the way, I've just finished translating the Tutorial scripts. Next, I think I'll be tackling the ones for Cynthia's shop events (*shudders*).

Luca Infelsphere 2 and 3 are ready for review, and I've made some revisions to level 1 based on comments received:

(edit: obsolete links removed)

I'm roughly halfway through level 4, and then I'm going to go through Cloche's 1~4 before moving on to the (shared) level 5. I'd forgotten just how much of the middle levels involve the two of them yelling at each other....

lol.. yea... n denials as well as other stuff..... wasn't there a lot of name calling at some point?
================================


those are CS.. not IS

(also, i forget where to get the files again... from the wiki was it?..

[kairi_key]

Hey guys.... =w=...

What a surprise to see my name here huh?


I've been wondering, how much have been retranslated, especially shop event and synthesis?
Since I would like to make a request for certain synthesis dialogues...

And oh... I would really like to know how much mistake is in those shop event and synthesis dialogues?
Since if there's not much, then I can still track down some video in Youtube to see those dialogues...

It's for my further study in Sound Science... so supposedly, my request should include all Fila Theory =w=
But I haven't made list yet of which event or synthesises I need...
So I will try to make a list and come back again

[Marioak]

Off-topic

Anything I can help? By Japanese skill is improve (a bit) by now...
I can't do much but I will do my best =X

[kWhazit]

Infelsphere should be done soon. I'm down to the last three files, so once I'm done those and some proofreading....

(edit) ...and it's done! The whole thing is in a single archive now, with individual levels in their own directories within it.
The Infelsphere
I think void's edits are all worked into that, and I've tried to shorten lines that seemed likely to overflow. Flashbacks also now have comments referencing the original scenes, though I might have missed a few.

Additionally, I've updated the item database. Notable changes include Gergo -> Kroakie, Geugo -> Groagie, and Baldgo -> Baldie. There's more, but those are probably the most important for anyone doing script revisions.
Item names and descriptions

Have fun with that, and don't go easy on the revisions.

[Kensou77]

wheee.... new file to look at. it's been a while ^^

i'll do this by tuesday-wednesday
------------------------------------

sry i'm late but not forgotten, update tonight

[aquagon]

And it seems the Wiki has fallen from existence yet again.

And it seems the Wiki has fallen from existence yet again.

Unfortunately it's not one that I'm backing up (it's not on the ARM server). I've PM'd Morganite and asked him to check it.

In the meanwhile I've searched through Google and Yahoo's web caches, and copypasted the text onto the ARM wiki over here:

wiki/index.php/Ar_tonelico_2_retranslation

Doesn't have the formatting, or some of the links, but most of the important info should be there. There were a couple of articles I couldn't find in the web caches.

Hopefully Morganite will restore the original wiki soon (in which case, the new version is just a backup, unless we decide to move over to the ARM wiki instead), otherwise we may need to start working from the one on the ARM wiki.

Also, if needed, feel free to tidy up the copypasted articles (the original links and formatting should remain in the search engine caches for a while, but probably not for too long).

[wizzardx]

A quick update on this:

I just heard from Morganite. He had some problems with his hosting, but he'll try to get that fixed this week, meaning the original wiki might come back up soon.

Good to know that. Thank you so much for following this problem so closely, wizz (and for making these backups of the wiki).

[wizzardx]

No problem, since I don't want this project to have problems due to it's wiki being unavailable .

I haven't heard from Morganite yet, so I've gone ahead and restored the formatting and links as much as I could:

wiki/index.php/Ar_tonelico_2_retranslation

There were some pages that had fallen off the search engine caches since last time, so I couldn't check their links and formatting.

I think it's probably fine if you resume editing from the version on the ARM wiki (eg: Project Status). If the original wiki comes back online, we can compare the two versions to see what should be updated on the original wiki, if needed.

There are a couple of broken links here and there (that were broken on the original wiki too), but hopefully nothing too important.

I haven't been paying attention of late. What happened to the wiki?

[aquagon]

*phew*... Well, it took me quite a long time, but I've finally finished the shop events for Cynthia.
Now, like I said before, I'll be getting started on the events related to lifts, switches, barriers and the like, which are in the 1090-1163 range. I will also take the opportunity to claim the texts for the Help section of the menu, including the Terminology ones.

EDIT: Scratch that, I've just finished with the events for the 1090-1163 range. I'll get started on the Tutorial and Terminology executable texts tomorrow.

I haven't been paying attention of late. What happened to the wiki?

Morganite had some problems with his web hosting a few weeks back, taking the at2 re-translation wiki offline. It looks like he hasn't been able to get it back online yet.

So in the meanwhile, I've restored what I could (from google and yahoo search caches) onto the ARM wiki (running on my web hosting).

There's a couple of missing articles, but hopefully nothing too critical.

So for the time being, please use the ARM wiki for the at2 retranslation project, at least until Morganite is able to get the original wiki restored.

*phew*... Well, it took me quite a long time, but I've finally finished the shop events for Cynthia.

Thanks for your hard work

(by the way: hopefully everything else is in order that's needed for the re-translation. eg: hopefully we can still get hold of ps2 hackers if needed a bit later on, to complete the project).

[SleepingTiger]

No problems.

[aquagon]

Just a heads up to say that I'm slowly trudging through the Tutorials. With some luck, I'll have finished them by next weekend.

Also, there's something I just learned that could be useful for the item names in which KWhazit worked:

From some research I made, チェチェリ is the katakana version of "Ceceri", which is a mountain in Italy particularly known for its scenic beauty, and for being a place where supposedly Leonardo Da Vinci made some of his famed experiments on flight.

Also, I personally prefer "Restraint Button" for がまんボタン

As for ポチットニー, hmm... an onomatopoeia for pressing a button, a variation on ちょっと... as for the ニー... the only think I could find was that it's the katakana for knee. Maybe that could serve as a clue to come up with something clever... (Kneinch? Knee + pinch? ...just joking... )

征パ丸... I don't really have any suggestions. Conque P Drops sounds good, but I feel like it lacks... something.

And how about just using "Chocolated Acid" for クエル酸ショコラ (or something paralleling chocolate milk)?

And I think I came up with something for 走召木亥火暴. For me, that kanji combination gives me the image of something summoning a large fire that proceeds to devour a large forest filled with animals, so, how about something like Conflagration Bringer?

セイマゴクシン... hmm, there are quite some ways to translate this katakana hell... the NISA name seems kinda on track to me, but they are ignoring the ゴク part... maybe 聖魔獄真 is the kanji combination intended, so it could be something like Holy & Evil Prison of Truth? (although that name needs to be streamlined)

And about エリギニ... since it could be interpreted as "neck/collar + accompainment + mushroom" (the last one loosely, since it lacks the ゅ at the end), maybe it could be something like "Collared Mushroom", especially considering that "mussel" is a name used for bivalve mollusca.

Helloes!

I am, slowly, working through Frelia's Binary Field. There has been a pretty tremendous amount of stuff going on in my life lately (in a good way), so it's tough sometimes. But aquagon's DM on Twitter motivated me to get back to it. I'll continue posting up files as I complete them.

Be well, everyone!

I'll take a gander at it and comment on some things and update randomly as I go, if you don't mind.

NEW:Ｉｔｓ　ｄｅｃｏｒ　ｌｏｏｋｓ　ｎｏｔｈｉｎｇ　ｌｉｋｅ　ａ　ｄｅｔｅｃｔｉｖｅ’ｓ　ｏｆｆｉｃｅ，　ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ｃｈｉｅｆ’ｓ　ｔａｓｔｅ．

* Wouldn't it be more proper to move the end of the sentence to the beginning? It flows better that way. "Because of the chief's taste [in furniture], its decor looks nothing like a detective's office." It's entirely OK to start a sentence with 'because', after all. If you choose to go with the former, it would be better to remove the comma because when an independent clause comes first and the subordinate comes second, you don't really need a comma. 'Just my opinion.

NEW:Ｂｕｔ，　ｗｈａｔ？　Ｗｈｅｒｅ　ａｍ　Ｉ？

The "But, what?" part is bugging me. Personally, I'd use "Wait, what?" for the comedic effect.

NEW:Ｋｕｒｏａｋｉ　Ｍａｗａｔａ　ｌｉｖｅｄ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｔｏｗｎ　ｏｆ　ｐｅｏｐｌｅ　ａｌｌ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｔｈｅ　ｓａｍｅ　ｇｏａｌ，　ｐｕｓｈｉｎｇ　ａｇａｉｎｓｔ　ｅａｃｈ　ｏｔｈｅｒ　ｅｖｅｒｙ　ｄａｙ．

There's something odd about this statement.

NEW:（．．．ｉｔ’ｓ　ｔｈｅ　ｒｅｓｔ　ｏｆ　ｈｅｒ，　ｔｈａｔ　ｉｓ　ｔｈｅ　ｐｒｏｂｌｅｍ．）

("...it's the rest of her that's the problem.")

Oh crap, I just realized that this probably should have gone to the editing discussion thread.

[aquagon]

Ok, I've just finished translating the menu text that corresponds to the Tutorials and Terminology (the Help section of the menu, which are file 67 on the executable text dump). However, since I'm a fail when it comes to making tables for this kind of work, I simply uploaded the plain text files to the FTP.

Next, maybe I'll get with Sasha's events to finish off the evds (the only part missing would be fet's files for Frelia's Binary Field), to finally begin seriously translating the exe dumps.
