Dues abouts Dejap......

Star Ocean and ToP had some nice coverage in an issue or two of Nintendo Power, which ranted and raved about them. Very few games got that.Nach wrote:I thought the only reason those games are famous is because Dejap translated them.
Or because Dejap seems to only aim for the hardest games possible to translate. Going out and finding some rare game with a crazy coproccessor and RE the thing like FEoEZ/SPC7110, just so you can play it, let alone translate it. Seriously, what are you people thinking?
And of course the DQ stuff is by definition high-profile.I really appreciated this fact you said many times:Tomato wrote:Holy crap, I forgot all about that article. I really should maybe update it sometime, I'm actually a professional game translator (among other things) now so that should give me some more credibility. I wonder if he like ever Googled his own name and found that articleDarkDragoon wrote:Perhaps they read Tomato's article about Ted Woosley and his localizations and finally decided to stop complaining about it.
...I wish...
I hope people feel more educated after that.IT WAS NOT TED WOOLSEY WHO CUT OUT THE SWEARING, SEX, DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. IT WAS NINTENDO OF AMERICA. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.
whicker: franpa is grammatically correct, and he still gets ripped on?
sweener2001: Grammatically correct this one time? sure. every other time? no. does that give him a right? not really.

You say you started doing games this last fall. May I then ask you who/what you professionally translate for now?Tomato wrote:Um well I've been translating anime and that junk for almost 2 and a half years now and also I started doing games this last fall. I tell ya though, Woolsey did one heck of a job given his time constraints. I've had similar situations and nearly went crazy and almost decided to quit a few times
Your BL translation is outstanding.
http://clydemandelin.com has my resume but I can't list a lot of things until they get released so there's like 5 to 10 things that aren't on there yet.
I do miss ROM translating though - it's a lot more fun to translate something and see instant results than translate a text file and then see it get rewritten and have it not come out for a long time.
BTW, I cringe whenever I think about my BL translation now. I kept it way too close to the original when it could've been a lot better written

Ironically, I was watching a forum topic complaining about Case Closed's translation like four months ago... Mostly bitching about the name changes and so on.Tomato wrote:http://clydemandelin.com has my resume but I can't list a lot of things until they get released so there's like 5 to 10 things that aren't on there yet.

I have the funny feeling you weren't responsible for those changes though.
