    German and Japanese translators?

    Reply Quote
    Does anyone know of any offers for translating games into these languages? I would love to support them in my new title, but don't know of any speakers.
    And I'm not using google translate lol

    Hi,
    I'm a german programmer myself.
    Are you talking about text-only conversions or about speech, too? Although I haven't tried last one I really wouldn't try it seriously^^.
    But I'd offer a text-only translation (depending on amount of text for free maybe :D ).
    If you're interested just tell me and if applicable tell me something about your game / post a link.

    Kind regards,

    Marcus

    Hey,

    Text only conversion at the moment, im still working on the game so it's not ready for conversion yet, but id guess at 200 items to translate, mostly single word items (highscores, awards etc...)

    The game is a sequel to Hexothermic, which is currently in french and spanish and english.

    I am extremely poor at the moment (poor student and all) but i can give you a couple of copies of the game, and your name in the game of course :-)

    Thanks

    Dave

    We are also going to be looking for Japanese translations for Duality ZF.  I'm not sure if we are going to bother with other languages.  (Should we?)  We need to make sure that "duality" and "dual" and "dual play" all still flow in the translation.

    I'll keep an eye out for it.  I'm pretty sure that I already rated Hexothermic 5 stars (one of the best & most original puzzle games I've played in a long time), but I'll double check next time I'm rating games.

    David, have you found a Japanese translator?  I am still looking for one.  I really think it would help our sales in Japan, especially with our game being a "shmup".

    Wow great job, it sounds!  Too bad that you probably won't be able to help hook me up with a Japanese translator in the next week, which is about how soon I need one!!
