    Bishoujo Mangekyou English TL begins

    in Archives

    Posted

    Wow,

    Just wow...

    I never honestly would've thought, that this project of mine would have gotten such a positive reception. Now I feel really pumped about this. 

    And thus, I officially announce the Bishoujo Mangekyou -Norawareshi Densetsu no Shoujo- English translation project started!

    In the beginning, I only thought about translating it without the Japanese script, as this was basically a passion-project to further develop my English skills, but now that I have seen  the magnitude of positive responses and the number of people who actually want to read this title, I have decided to do things a little differently. As you know, normally in a VN TL project, first comes translation, then editing and the quality checking. I decided to add something else to this process:

    1. Translation: I basically translate the title to English from Finnish

    2. The Clean-Up: I go through the translated script  with the Japanese script, and correct as many mistakes as I possibly can

    3. The editing and QC

    This way I can make the final project with more quality and hopefully not as many grammatical errors. This is the shortened version of how the TL:ing will go down, I hope you'll look forward to it. i'll try to get the translation to an adequate state in an month or two, but you never do know about these things. Hope to see you soon, and hope you look forward to it.

    I thought it would be good to introduce myself as of now

    So,

    As I have been delving more and more into this community, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce me, before I delve too far.

    So, I'm Arcadeotic or just Arc, a VN-fanatic from the north. I have been lurking in this community for about a year, a little more than how much I have been playing VNs. But as I haven't really posted anything, that is kinda irrelevant. Anyhoo, how I started at this medium was watching Sakurasou Pet no Kanojo maybe, 1,5 years ago. Then i got into little more anime, then into manga, and then into Light Novels. I truly got into this community 11-ish months ago in the start of February, 2015. I know how many people start with easy, short Visual Novels and KS, but I started with, funnily enough, Princess Evangile. I was browsing Youtube, and I saw how some channel was playing PE. I watched an hour or two, and then right after bought it. Then I basically was locked in my room for 5-6 days. That's basically my origin.

    Now it has been almost a year. And I have collected about 70 VNs, beaten over 45, learned Japanese decently enough and made myself a part of several communities.

    I must say I'm happy for what I've gotten in under a year. And now I may try to grasp something even greater. Now that introductions are over, I can say, Thank you and I'm looking forward to our future patronage and collaboration. See you again very soon.

    Would you guys want a Bishoujo English TL from Finnish to English?

    So, I've been thinking. 

    As you may or may not know, Bishoujo Mangekyou -Norowareshi Densetsu no Shoujo- (https://vndb.org/v8038) got a Finnish translation a few dozen days ago, and I was thinking that it's a shame that it doesn't have an English translation. As I'm a native finn and have been studying English for a long time and have adequate skills in it, I thought it would be great to TL this title from Finnish to English. The quality of the TL will be unknown as I have only looked the Japanese text only so much, but the Finnish to English part would be completed fairly skillfully. I myself think it would be a great project for me at the moment, and it would help brush up my English skills. I have no experience in VN editing and such, so I will be only translating the title.

    Now, the question is if you, would want to see this come to reality? 

    If you do, great. I will put up the website and such once the TL is in adequate state, and look for editors, quality checkers and so on.

    Please, do leave your opinion for somewhere me to see.
