Translations of Filena into other languages

Are you interested in translating Eien no Filena into your own language?

On the final release of the translation, I plan to make all the necessary tools and information freely available here for download.

Since I’ve just gotten permission to make the dialogue compression tool available, I’m going to post the original Japanese dialogue scripts so that foreign translators can get a head start. The English scripts will be available after the final release of the translation, but I strongly recommend that any translator working on the game translate directly from the Japanese rather than translate my translation.

Anyway, please click here for the Japanese scripts. You’ll need a text editor capable of viewing EUC-JIS Japanese encoding. Other than that, all you need to know is that you can comment out Japanese lines with a semi-colon (;) at the start of the line.

It’s finally inserted, thanks to byuu’s help. What do you think?

Not much to report at the moment; I’ve been busy with professional work lately, but I’ve recently gotten byuu’s invaluable help in sorting out some of the last bits of technical work that needs doing, so hopefully we can make some good progress there. If you’re a percentage type of guy, I guess the current progress for the entire patch is something like 95%? The translation itself is pretty much done.
In the meantime, here’s Maegra’s great title screen logo design that we’re going to use:

Sorry for the radio silence. more news when there’s news to report.
