[azumasta]

Mmh, and how?

well what are you using?

Notepad - Save as and where it says ANSI click UTF-8

Word - Save as .txt and chose UNICODE-8

thats all i know.

[ydown]

Not sure if this has been fixed (I only have v2), but the running shoes aren't translated

[guyguyson]

Are they translating what random people say and signs, tv's etc?

[soneek]

Yeah

[xxdbxx15]

@soneek just wondering are u translating some of the story txts ?

[Shadow_Steve]

yeah the storyline is a bit harder than the items and such, but dont worry, we are trying to get most stuff fixed also

[ydown]

Is it really necessary to translate the storyline?

[guyguyson]

Be good to know what's being said about that ruined bed.

ydown it's important to translate it enougth so people can figure what they are doing, but it would be nice to have all the extra stuff like the tv shows etc.

Yeah I'm just working on whatever I can figure out. I'm doing the Hall of Fame induction now.

Probably not, but it'd be fun to know what's going on, especially since we'll have a good number of people working on it. Better than waiting 6-8 months for the US release...though I'm still gonna buy it

Fair enough If the storyline was translated, I'd probably use it too, and buy it when it comes out in english But I don't mind just the important parts of the game translated either, it's all good

well some ppl playing pokemon black/white are quite young so they really are not good at figuring out what to do(not all) so it would help them out and it would be nice to know what going on of cource

[Darkurai]

Previous lurker here, just wanted to chime in and say that translating the story is highly unnecessary, but it would be nice if just a little bit of dialogue was edited so that we know what's going on, i.e. where we're supposed to be going.

[ReignOfComputer]

Agreed. The part that COULD be worked on, however, are parts like the introduction and puzzle parts (e.g. Gyms).

[vashack]

I think if people are interested in translated the storyline, then no need to stymie that. if it's what they're interested in, they can go for it. it'll be fun for them, and they'll be less likely to give up half way throught it, and you'll still have people translating the important stuff too.

[guyguyson]

I don't understand, why is the story not deemed important? it's a game is immersion not important?

[soneek]

It's just hard finding stuff because most of it is out of order. Some Elite Four stuff was in the 140s, while the beginning of the game was around the 430s. And there's just a bunch of dumb test message files. We really need a separate thread if we have people that are serious about translating the story.

Could a previous game not give clues as to how they structure this stuff?

I'm not sure, but oh well. We'll come across the main stuff as we're working on it.

It is important. But at least we can play it better with the moves, pokemon, items and locations translated first. That was our first priority. Now we're getting to the story.

Oh right, i thought i was missing something. Yeah that makes sense.

[soneek]

So \xfffe starts a new line? Alright so how many characters can fit into one line in this game? I need to make some edits on my translations according to that.

[Shadow_Steve]

from what i could tell soneek, you might want to look in the other translations, look at file 203, in my github and see what im talking about, im working on the move info, that should help you out

[ydown]

Pokemon abilities would be very useful translated, and perhaps natures too. I think there are several new abilities too

[Machir]

me and killnnllik are translating into dutch but how to make a beta patch so we can try if everything work??

[Rykin122]

Please keep your version up-to-date.

In the 3rd version, over 80 % of all ability's are translated.

In the 4th version, all natures and more ability's are translated

So to keep short: Coming soon...
