avendurree23 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I found visual novel called "Your Diary". I got interested in translating it since I found out that some guy named Rozenberg should've translated it, but he got depressed and quit the project. I was trying to find translating team who could work on translating the project, but I didn't find it. So I recently saw program on one webpage called "koakumatranslationtools". I tried to find some similar program, but I failed. Does someone know where I can find tool for translating visual novel (it uses kirikiri2 engine)? I don't mean VNR or ITH or something, because I want to make english patch for "Your diary". Quote
Asonn Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 There is only 1 and that is your brain, ofc you can use ith to make it easier to translate, however there is not a tool that translate Japanese into correct English. those tools are even far from Engrish. VirginSmasher 1 Quote
Zakamutt Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Charitably... I think he might mean unpacking tools like for extracting scripts etc. Not sure though. Quote
ShadowKaizer76 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 You should use Crage/Crass or Insani (http://www.insani.org/tools/) to extract and repack. Assuming your scenario files are in .ks, you could directly open in a robust text editor specifically with a Japanese encoding, save the .ks files as UTF-16 LE (with or without BOM). Then you can translate to English accordingly. This has typically been my experience with KiriKiri but it might be different from VN to VN. Quote
stormwyrm Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 If you need aids with translation there is Translation Aggregator: http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/94395-Translation-Aggregator?p=3648894#post3648894 This has been indispensable for me, mainly for the JParser support, which has helped remove a lot of the tedium when looking up unfamiliar words in a passage of text. You can use it to send text to machine translators if you want. Santiash123 1 Quote

I open "xp3-extract.exe" and it immediately shuts, even when I open it with admin. Quote

I am very new to this thing so I am asking anyone how to do it. Quote
Scorp Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 @avendurree23 I believe you can use kikiriki to extract/repack. That's a command-line tool. Quote

A command line openned for a half second and nothing else, was I suppose to work with few commands in command promt? If so, please tell me how to get started. Quote
Scorp Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 No, I would not. Go in Google and educate yourself, how to use command-line tools. Hanako 1 Quote
