traslation

[antonio santamarta fernandez]

Partial translation of the game ZEUS CG second.

I do not speak English and I find it very difficult to simplify the menu texts in order to remain consistent.

I can translate almost any text on the menus, but need help. If you translate into Spanish would have no problems, but for English I need you to send me a screenshot of each menu with the best translation in your language.

IMPORTANT! must respect the number of "letters" Japanese. For example:

                           踊る, 逃げる, 騒ぐ

                            12 34 5 6 7 891011

in this set of words we can only put 11 letters, including spaces. Here is the difficulty

Once translated you could send the file with at least the English menus.

If you are interested, I'll translate it into Spanish.

You can see this:

The problem with hacking the subtitles is, well, as you stated here, that the number of characters available for any given text block is extremely limited.  For example, in the Japanese text you have provided here, the English translation would be "Dance, run away, make noise."  That's 28 characters. "Dance, run, sing" is still 13 characters, two characters too long, and there are very few text blocks which could be condensed in this manner.  That makes a translation of, say, the software tests impossible because many of the questions and responses require that the reader comprehend the question, which is impossible if the Japanese is, say, 「CPUの説明で正しいものを選べ」  since the translation is ”What is the function of the CPU?”, 15 characters vs 31 characters, and no way to condense the question without making it incomprehensible.

No way to increase space. Anyway I'll translate the menus. I made ​​at Chez and is very useful for getting around them. I think it's better to simplify  menus in my language that in japanese
