    This is more of a general question but how do you usually translate "ne" for emphasis. I thought translating it as "see" might work but it sound too stereotypically Italian and not childish enough. I want that nice childish way of speaking that is always saying "ne" "ne" so that you pay attention to them.

    Depends on context, but if it's just "ね" alone I usually just translate it to "Hey".

    Hi everyone!!! I'd like to ask for someone's help on translating a few images for Koirizo. Our image TL got kinda stumped with some sentences so I thought I'd ask here for help.

     

    sys_config_P3+PNAP+007.png

    %E8%AD%A6%E5%91%8A%E7%94%BB%E9%9D%A2.png

    Our TL isn't sure about some parts for this one, so I though I'd ask about it as well.

    Here's the current translation we have:

    Sys_Dialog+PNAP+010.png

    we have "Returning to choice position. Are you sure?" for this one. It might have some other meaning, but I haven't seen it in-game so I can't check where it really appears and what it confirms you to do. I added it here anyway in case anyone has thought of a better TL for it.

    %E6%9C%AC%E7%B7%A8%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%

    just the CV for this one. we're not sure about it.

     

    Thanks! :D

     

    1) zoom909 got it.

    2) I'd translate some parts more carefully, since this is a legal disclaimer. For example, "Those who participate in reproduction, transfer, modification, or public transmission of this work will be punishable by law" should be "those who illegally reproduce..." and " all images included in this work are protected under copyright" should be amended to include "videos".

    3) That sounds plain weird. Are you sure it's not asking if you want to return to the previous choice? Or more likely, is it referring to the name of a menu?

    4) Easily googled. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B3%A2%E5%A5%88%E6%9D%9F%E9%A2%A8%E6%99%AF

    i see but everywhere i can find something it just said i change the local and non unicode language and it will work

    Uninstall, change to Japanese Locale, and reinstall. Make sure you are running the ENGLISH .exe

    Also, some people have this issue if their installation directory isn't located in C:\ but I never had that problem myself.

    What browser are you using? When you click 'Save,' does it refresh the page without your comment showing?

    That's true, but I think in this case, it's necessary, since he's specifically referring to it, and his statement doesn't make much sense without it

     

    just a small question. Would "my tummy's rumbling" be too cutesy of a translation for もうお腹ペコペコ? the character talking usual speaks in a fairly cutesy way, I'm just not sure if "my tummy's rumbling" is overdoing the cuteness or not.

    It's up to the translator. Personally, I would never use that phrase - and that is not an issue with it being 'cutesy' or not.

    偏差値 = English "Z-score", a statistical term that many people would be unfamiliar with (including me, I looked it up on JP wikipedia)

    Yes, but I'd advise against using words no one knows in a translation of any game, unless it's unavoidable to do so.

    Alright so here's the context:

    「へぇー、これは凄い」

    「どうされたんですか、鷺ノ森先生」

    「さっき言ったテストの採点をしてたんですが……みんな凄いですね。ちょっと侮ってましたよ」

    「どんな問題を出されたんですか？」

    「世界史と日本史、近代史をそれぞれ全般的に。レベルを計るためのテストですからね」

    「ボクとしては平均正解率が半分ぐらいかと思ったんですが……まさか、８割近いとは思いませんでしたよ」

     

    What I need help with are the two lines that come after that:

    「もしかして、かなり偏差値が高いんですか？」

    「どうでしょうか……その手の数値はよくわからないので」

    "Does that mean the average score is quite high?"

    "Well since you don't understand (the numbers)... How should I put this?

     

    And when I asked for context, I meant background info as well - not just lines. I have no idea what the scene is about, or who's talking.

    How accurate is this song translation?

    The Green is the Translation. The purple is the part I am not sure about at all. The rest is more or less. This is my first translation.
