It's not that I want you to translate it, but that if you're going to translate anything at all right now, it should be in English. That's the biggest audience the Pokémon community has.

Yeah, I meant that :P

I am really good at English, and I am Dutch, as I already said...

But I dont have any EXP with translating games :/

So, I will wait patiently for a translation =)

You'd be surprised how many Dutch people are absolutely terrible at English. Not to mention that young children (like my nephews, age 7 and 8) don't understand English at all. Even though they did play FR/LG and D/P in English. It's not so much a necessity as just convient. (I remember learning some English from Pokémon Red as a 5 year-old though xD)

I'd offer to help you translate the Dutch version, but I am waaay too busy. Good luck though! (And I'd offer to help translate Japanese to English, but apart from above reason, I don't understand Japanese at all, sadly).

Anyways, just posted to say thank you to all the hardworking translators and I'm keeping my eye on this thread :)

Yeah, as I said more times, I am Dutch, we have a family of 6 people...

I am the ONLY one who speaks very good English!

My sister from 8 years doesnt speak any word...

My sister from 10 can only say numbers 1-10 and Yes, No ... In very terrible accent, Dutch-like...

My brother from 13 is reallly bad at English..... Speaks a few words, but speaks them teribbly wrong, VERY Dutch-like...

My mom and dad speak some words and sentences...

I think I've learned English from all those games and English forums and stuff!! =DDD I already spoke much English at the age of 10-12 or sumthing? =)

PS: My dad has got a brother who is married with a woman from Texas, they live there for like really long.... My uncle already has American Nationality...

Sadly he didnt learn his kids any Dutch at all... So they can only speak American with a Texan accent.... Sometimes really hard to understand...

Have you got parents with a different nationality and language? Did they let you grow up by learning you both their mother-languages?

We're going pretty off topic right now so this'll be the last reply regarding that stuff xD;

I'm 100% Dutch but I do have a knack for English, don't know why xD;. My boyfriend is half American/half Dutch and my English is even better than his. I think Cartoon Network and games helped develop my English when I was younger. It's such a waste that everything's being dubbed in Dutch.

Sorry for the off-topicness, I'll shut up until I've got something meaningful to say xD;

Seems to be a lot of talk of a dutch translation :o

I'm thinking that a bilingual patch will be a wonderful idea (i'm definately NOT the first to say this)

Anyway, Good luck with the translations. Maybe if there is still work to do, I'll help out when I return

さようなら！　（＾。＾；

Hows progress? Will we have a first English patch For Black and White Soon?

Not sure how soon we can get a v1 out right now I'm working with what njt did earlier on 16.txt but it's 1k+ lines of:

\xf000Ă\x0001\x0000 fainted!

The wild　\xf000Ă\x0001\x0000 fainted!

The foe's　\xf000Ă\x0001\x0000 fainted!

\xf000Ă\x0001\x0000 \xffferegained health!

and the sort, so keeping the format and localizing is taking quite some time not to mention it goes on into 17.txt i believe. Sorry for the delays but we're trying to get a v1 out asap, just hang with us for now. thanks!

Exactly. Unless you're actually playing for the story, which obviously is lacking in the Pokémon series, there's no need to know English. Well, maybe just the very basics, but even that is probably unnecessary.

Let's just have the English translation finished first and then make a Dutch one, if at all.

One more, this one is useful for Random Battles on Wi-Fi. The most important part is correctly translated, however I mostly ignored the part about tournaments (used google translation for that, and fixed here and there a bit)

Kaarosu, that file you're doing now, it's actually very easy to translate, I did translate one similar to that (pokemon used attack, foe pokemon used attack, etc), but in Portuguese (I will send this later). There's just 3 different sets of lines, I did it very fast with just "replace all" in the text editor.

Why are you soo against a Dutch translation? ;p if somebody wants to do it then let them? They're probably translating from English -> Dutch, so it's not like they could've helped with the Japanese -> English one. (Correct me if I'm wrong though. It would be more helpful if you know Japanese to help translate the English version).

And even though the story may not be too special, I'd still like to read that instead of random characters I don't understand, which brings me to my next question: After v1 is out, will you translate the story as well? Because I'd personally would like that very much. But I understand that it's a lot of work, so.. yeah.
