Dreamysyu Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I only read the first translation, but according to some evidence, none of the versions are even good. It seems like the version by Amaterasu is "the least bad one", but I'm not sure if anybody directly compared all the versions to each other. the tales of Sora and Suzu Fanatic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Yeah, by all accounts, the correct answer is "none of them". The official translation from Moenovel is quite possibly the worst, though, if that helps you make a decision.

littleshogun Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Even if Amaterasu is 'the least bad one only' in regard of Cross Channel translation, it still count as the best translation out of the three available translation. So my suggestion here is just pick up Amaterasu version and see whether you'll understand the translation or not, and have fun. the tales of Sora 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwolf Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, the tales of Sora said: is there a translation that is readable? Take complaints from here with a grain of salt. I certainly would. Many make a big fuzz over simple typos and silly stuff that's really not a bit problem for you when you read, just that it could have been written a lot better. Although selling such a product is a bad thing, but they're still perfectly understandable most of the time. the tales of Sora 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieROBOT Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Amaterasu's one: readable but way too literal, a lot of jokes were completely ruined and it's full of translator notes that "helps" you understand what the hell they were trying to say. GH one: readable but he decided to make every single sentence twice as long for absolutely no reason, he probably rewrote half the script to sound more "profound" in English Moenovel's one: unreadable, nothing makes sense, looks almost like a machine translation Fateism, the tales of Sora and Dreamysyu 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenophilious Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Ixrec/Amaterasu TL: weird "Japanese-y" sentences, reportedly butchers the prose and themes of the original VN, literal to the point of being borderline nonsensical at times GHS TL: so verbose even Polonius would tell him to shut the fuck up, 2deep4me, heavily modified to support GHS' weird view of the world Moenovel TL: literal shit. I wouldn't read this if it were the literary version of water and my eyes were on fire. If I had to pick one, I'd pick ixrec's TL every single time. the tales of Sora and Suzu Fanatic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananaa_. Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) I wonder if the fan TLs are applicable to the steam release, anyone? I have no access to buy the original japanese version Edited May 12, 2023 by すわわ avoiding repeated words, change steam version to steam release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no access to buy the original japanese version As for the Steam version, the engine is different from the original version with the translation patch is only working for original version, so the translation patch here is not applicable for Steam version. As for how to get the original version of Cross Channel, let's just say that there's a certain way to do so, although if you want to purchase it then probably you can go get the used one from Mandrake.

Mago Ivo Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Amaterasu TL is the only true translation of CC for me. GHS TL literally sounds like the ramblings of a madman, and I have no doubt that he is really really insane. No sane person would write a ebook, explaining the hidden meaning of CC which is over 600 pages long.
