I would like to translate my own games into English.

[kt住江]

Hello, this is kt住江.
I have made several games in my career.
Miko to kyuketsuki, Double Dragon bangaihen...
However, all of these games are written in Japanese,
which may seem very difficult for English-speaking people to understand.
So, as the title says, I would like to translate my game into English and publish it, but is there a demand for it?

I would like to hear your opinions.

I'm sure a lot of your audience would appreciate it. I would suggest you try to get some assistance from a native English speaker. 1:1 translations between English and Japanese just don't work. Without further localization, the results tend to be nonsensical, stilted, or unintentionally comic.

Indeed it is.
I rely on Deepl to write English texts, but I am not sure how accurately they translate them.
It would be appropriate to ask someone who is fluent in English, but I have no such friendships.
For now, I will try to make do with Deepl for the present situation.
Thank you very much.

Moving the thread, got it.
What a surprise!　Glad you could help me with the translation!
I'll upload my notes when I have time, and I'd really appreciate your translations!

There is a demand for sure!

 

[kt住江]

There is a demand for sure!

Thank you!
I'll give it a shot!

@kt住江 you can private message me your English translation that you create using DeepL and I'll make sure to correct the English.

@kt住江 you can private message me your English translation that you create using DeepL and I'll make sure to correct the English.

I understand!
Then I'll send it to you later, thank you!

Yes Deepl seems to work well.
But I'm sure some native english speakers can help to fix some potential errors after it.

And yes, I would be pleased to play these games as well!

I love this idea it would be fantastic to play your game's with an English translation

 

[kt住江]

@kt住江 you can private message me your English translation that you create using DeepL and I'll make sure to correct the English.

Sorry.
Where is the private message?
If I may be so presumptuous, could danno please speak to me?

hello. I am a person who makes games with the same concerns. If there is a lot of game production going on, I would like to try to tell the game story in English if possible.

It would be great. I really wish your games have the chance to be translated.
Because the storyline can be interesting!

 

[kt住江]

Thank you very much.
Thanks to Danno, the English version of "Double Dragon Bangaihen" will be ready soon.
Stay tuned!

@DD Tokki If you need any help with translating your game into English I'd be happy to help.

Hello, this is kt住江（kt suminoe）.
I am happy to have successfully published the English version of
"Double Dragon Bangaihen"...
However, there is actually another game that has not yet been translated.

"Miko to kyuketsuki".
Translated into English, it is "The Priestess and the Vampire".
However, this game is a belt action game based on the famous Japanese doujin game "Touhou project" and may be difficult to play outside of Japan, where "Touhou project" is less well known.
Furthermore, it is based on a Japanese ghost called Yokai.

Nevertheless, if there is anyone who would like to play the English version of "The Priestess and the Vampire", please leave a message at your discretion.

 

[danno]

We can translate this too, send me a private message when you want to start.

Heeeeee!!!!
I can't sleep with my feet turned to Mr. danno anymore...
I am truly grateful.
Then I will write to you in a private message as usual when the text is ready.
