Mr Poltroon Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 1 hour ago, Vol-k-e-r said: What does TL and TLC mean? Will you translate the fandisk? TL stands for 'translation'. Generally speaking, you need someone to translate the Japanese into English, as otherwise this wouldn't be much of a translation project. TLC stands for 'translation checking', because 'to err is human' and all that jazz, the translator is bound to make mistakes. Therefore, someone, preferably not the translator himself, has to check the translation to see if it's well translated. There are a few ways of doing TLC, but this needs to be done by someone who knows Japanese, 'cause otherwise it's a bit difficult to tell if the translation is 'correct'. RedK and AtomCrafty 2
Kazami Yuiji Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 It's great to see that you guys will finish the translation. This might be nothing but I wish you guys luck and thanks again for your hard job.

I'm juste curious, do you guy have someone who's Japanese or who lives in Japan, to do TLC ? AtomCrafty 1
AtomCrafty Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 @Kazami Yuiji Thanks a lot for the encouragement, that really means a lot to us To your question: Yes, our TLC ke-ke, who is currently working on Tsugumi's route. - Atom RedK 1
AtomCrafty Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone out there! The last couple of weeks have been an exciting time for our team and now we're finally able to announce what we've been working on recently From today on, our group will operate under a new name: Rabu Rabu Translations Roughly translating to 'lovey dovey', we think it both reflects moege as our genre of choice and acts as a nod to our first project 'Lover Able'. Along with the new name, we have reworked our entire web presence. Our new website http://raburabu.net/ features more information on our group and active projects as well as downloads and a brand new live progress chart! A proper logo and some other ideas I don't want to reveal yet are in the works, we'll keep you posted on those. - Atom While we're at it, here are the current numbers: Read this post on our website: http://raburabu.net/website-announcement/ Edited May 1, 2017 by AtomCrafty formatting Kazami Yuiji, Novel21, Santiash123 and 3 others 6

littleshogun Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 So this is the announcement I see. Quite interesting name there, and nice new graph as well (Also with new term as well). Good luck once again. Novel21, AtomCrafty and RedK 3
AtomCrafty Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Hey everyone o/ It's time for another update on our translation progress. First of all, we fixed the few missing lines which were causing "99%" bars in the last update. Chinatsu's route is at 35% translation now. Speaking of which, please welcome @SoldierBlue9 to the team! \o/ He will be responsible for TLC on Chinatsu's route. - Atom Read this post on our website: http://raburabu.net/progress-update-2017-05-09/ Infernoplex, Santiash123 and RedK 3
littleshogun Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 I see. Well, keep up the good progress there. AtomCrafty 1
Akimoto Masato Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Look forward to seeing this thing fully translated, keep me updated AtomCrafty 1
AtomCrafty Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Good to hear you're excited for the release RedK 1
AtomCrafty Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone! We’ve been a bit quiet for the last couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean progress has slowed down. Translation and TLC are progressing faster than they ever and it seems our editors have finally decided to do their job as well 😉 Three quarters of Chinatsu's route are translated, which pushes the total TL progress to 70% \o/ Read this post on our website: http://raburabu.net/progress-update-2017-05-26/ Edited May 26, 2017 by AtomCrafty Infernoplex, RedK, Nier and 3 others 6
littleshogun Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Good progress as usual there, and looking forward to the editing progress (Also I'd looking forward to when Chinatsu 100% translated and Tsugumi 100% TLC-ed as well here) later. Edited June 6, 2017 by littleshogun RedK and AtomCrafty 2
AtomCrafty Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Hey again o/ I know I just published an update post yesterday, but today (2017-05-27) is a special occasion I would like to tell you about. Exactly 9 months ago we started this project and so far it's been an amazing experience. As some might know, this is the first fan translation I'm working on and during this time I've not only learned a lot about the vn community and industry but I've also met a lot of great people with serious passion for the genre. We've certainly had our highs and lows during the last 9 months, but looking at the numbers I'd say we've covered about one third of our total way to the final product. That being said I would like to thank you for your kind support and feedback up until now and I hope you're looking forward to this game as much as I do. -Atom Read this post on our website: http://raburabu.net/9-months-of-lover-able/ Edited May 28, 2017 by AtomCrafty eplipswich, RedK and Infernoplex 3
AtomCrafty Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Hey everyone o/ Once again it's time for another quick update on the current state of our project. As you can see, Chinatsu's route is now fully translated and Red has started working on Nanako's scripts. TLC is consistent as always and editing progress is starting to speed up as well.

littleshogun Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Sorry if I asked this again, but may I knew what's current translation progress right now? Thanks in advance. Edit (7/8) - Never mind, I already knew the updates right now. Edited July 8, 2017 by littleshogun RedK and AtomCrafty 2
AtomCrafty Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone o/ we’ve been quiet for a while, time to get the latest numbers out 😉 Today, Nanako’s route crossed the 50% mark, leaving us with 7123 lines to be translated. TLC on Tsugumi’s route is near completion, editing on the other hand is slow as usual. As a programmer I’m not really involved in the translation process, so naturally I expected a lot of off-time once the initial “hacking” was finished. That however has turned out to be a huge miscalculation, there is still a lot of work to be done. I don’t even want to know how many hours I’ve spent staring at hex editors and disassemblers, examining every instruction of the yuka engine… Without exaggerating, at this point I probably know more about the internals of yuka than the people at smee, who worked with it to create the game ^^ The latest project has been to add support for non shift-jis compliant fonts to the engine, because the two fonts shipped with the game (MS Gothic and MS Mincho) don’t exactly look great with English text. After several hours it turned out I only had to patch 2 bytes of the executable from 0x80 (SHIFTJIS_CHARSET) to 0x01 (DEFAULT_CHARSET): So here we have it, Vera Sans in Lover Able ^^ Some of you might recognize the font from other titles (e.g. DaCapo II) And since there was no option to enable it, I simply added another button to the options menu (just a few additional lines of code and some graphics): Take care, Atom Read this post on our website: http://raburabu.net/font-upgrade-for-lover-able/ Edited July 14, 2017 by AtomCrafty Novel21, Mr Poltroon, Infernoplex and 1 other 4

Kazami Yuiji Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) The "Onii-chan" gave me a bo.... I mean, good job for the translation (So sad the sis's route isn't translated yet). Oh and I have a little problem. Is that normal that I can't go to the raburabu website ? I'm located in Texas now, it worked when I was in France. Anyway, thank you you guys for contributing to "make visual novel popular in the west" Edited July 19, 2017 by Kazami Yuiji AtomCrafty 1
