KKK is eastern fantasy so the setting and tone is quite different to DI, is not even harem-style anymore.

If that guy who was making a new xiyan mtl patch is still here, how's progress coming on the patch?

>>51330389
Can they please translate all the hidden chinese kamiges too like Legend Sang, Black Memorandum and Comet Moon

>>51330389
Oh that's me. Sorry for not following up yet.

Something stupid happened; essentially Xiyan's script was so obtuse and difficult (combined with the RPG maker environment and limitations) it was really draining 5.6 Sol's usage to the point it was taking forever, then 6 Sol came out, and I thought "Okay, perfect time to test 6 Sol," but then, as is so common a sob story nowadays, I realized 6 Sol was fucking trash... but only after it had translated half the script. So I've decided I need to retranslate the entire thing, but I've been using my usage for programming work and haven't had a good opportunity to do so with a good model yet.

Once I get a good moment I can just throw it into a better model for translation. Everything else was fine; I playtested and there were no bugs in the early parts. So it's just a matter of feeding Opus or Astra the translation kit with the untouched xlsx and asking it to translate.
>>51330402
If you link me to downloads / resources on those games (like wiki pages explaining them) sure. I'm a JOP so the only thing I am interested in using MTL for is Chinese games I can't play right now, but that also means it's hard for me to find info on them.

>>51330405
sol 6.1 on xhigh is good on all fronts

>>51330911
I kind of left OpenAI after that due to frustration at how dogshit the $20 plan was, 6 launch being so horrible, not being able to use any Astra, Tibo reset autism, yada yada. I'll be tling with Opus 5.5

>>51330920
>6 launch being so horrible, not being able to use any Astra
all true but now that astra is nerfed, sol 6.1 is basically the same shit (and it mogs sol 6), and the limits are extremely generous

opus is still better at the moment, but they keep locking accounts for """abusing""" ai and that shit's so gay i don't wanna give them a cent

Because it didn't get through your retarded skull, the first time. No one sane reads your MTL slop, AI shillcuck.

Though I do feel bad for the Sayooshi translator. I feel as if he was baited into this trap. He may have seen people praise AI QC, decided to AI QC his work on Sayooshi, and then suddenly he is being blasted because the inhuman 99.5% accuracy rate reveals what was done. I even wonder if someone else on the team did the AI QC pass without telling him.

What the fuck is a "99.5%" translation accuracy? Fuck off you faggot, imagine being a professional translator and spouting that stupid shit

it means there are literally like 2 errors and they are mostly nothingburgers

>>51332054
imagine being a professional translator at all. astra won

>>51332056
ok so if there's no honorifics, is that an error or not? cause if so FSN sloplation is already 20% accurate trust me
Stfu you fucking faggot, never come peddling your slop here again

>>51332071
>is that an error or not?
no. objectively, honorifics aren't english and i agree with mao, but they aren't counted in the audit because it's a stylistic choice, not errors

>>51332072
So your audit is dogshit. Thanks for the reminder

>>51332074
It's dogshit because it doesn't count a non-error as an error? Are you retarded?

do an astra pass over MAO tl and ask it to restore honorifics? or do one over MM tl and only fix tl errors?

What's with the random comma? You should learn English before discussing English translations, bro.

MAO, the translator of all kamige, has mentioned that the Sakurano games will be translated in November. We're all looking forward to some more high-quality English translations.

>>51332436
I'll just wait for MAO. I don't trust Shiravune translators to handle it.

>>51332054
>>51332071
It's professional translators who understand that it is meaningful phrasing. My first-ever translation job had the test proctor informing me I needed to hit above 97% accuracy, and then every year there was an accuracy checkup to make sure I was hitting that breakpoint. Imagine if I tried telling him "U-Uh is removing honorifics accurate or not? Haha got you, I pass the test now..."

The more professional you get, the more you care. Publishers and higher-ups want high accuracy and they want tools for checking accuracy and so on. Do you think a translation manager will see an AI QC tool and go "eeeh it's all arbitrary anywhere accuracy isn't real no need to test my translators?" It's only because you're a random 4chan poster with no skin in the game that you can make completely uninformed, apathetic posts about accuracy not being real. Meanwhile any actual translator will understand the significance of low accuracy: getting fucking fired if caught.

Though of course there is absolutely nothing special about my process, so don't take this as me もったいぶるing or anything. Anyone with a frontier LLM could throw these things in and have it TL'd in no time.

Okay, Xiyan translation + QC pass complete. Shit goes fast when you have an actual high tier plan.

So far reads pretty well. I'm not totally sold on certain lines but, well, I'm not sold on a lot of human translations so it is what it is.
I could post this now but that would encourage the guy harping on about MTLers not playing their own patches so I'll finish this playtest first.

I have usage to spare so next week I can honestly probably knock out all of these games >>51334339 in no time. I don't think I will play through the 100+ hr one before posting though, if I ever get around to playing it in my lifetime.

This isn't even a VN. Fuck off, promptard.

Appreciate the effort dude, always great to discover new nuggets of gold like this

>>51335948
Thanks

I would like to see more freem hidden gems translated

>>51335920
woah epic. looking forward to it

>>51335948
dude was too retarded to have them speak in distinct style and finished this in like 3 days so I'll pass

>>51336376
3 days for an AI tl for a 13h vn sounds like an above average time investment.

OP is an actual oldfag who realizes how batshit retarded it is for an OP to try to set rules and control a thread.

Here's the Xiyan translation. I used the most cutting edge public model at the time of writing (Opus 5.5) on high effort settings and then playtested it. My process isn't anything special, anyone could do this, and in fact future frontier models will undoubtedly do an even better job, but for now the patch turned out pretty well in my opinion. If you find any problems post here and I'll probably see your post.

I've made two adjustments: one, I've included an optional patch to adjust the controls to more standard RPG maker affair. (Z to confirm and X to cancel instead of… up arrow key to confirm…). Two, I made the text advance faster because this is RPG maker and the default setting was slow as fuck.

A walkthrough PDF is included, translated from a guide online.

Thank you for your service!

>>51337928
Neat (I have no idea what this is)

>>51337928
Holy based, we WILL be playing. How'd you like the game itself? Is it as good as they say it is?

It is shockingly grim. I am not sure any protagonist has suffered more than Yan. Just completely brutal, almost comically so. But there's some rich ideas behind it and moving passages.
The gameplay is really annoying, which is why I quickly realized I needed to look up a walkthrough and decided to include one with the patch. Honestly I don't expect most people to survive the first 30 minutes, they suck.

>>51337928
Is Opus actually better at mtling then ChatGPT is right now? I'm not sure which model I should be paying for if I want to translate niche VNs and games. Good work on modding the controls though, I always appreciate patches including QOL engine stuff like that.

>>51338026
I just got completely pissed at OpenAI for their garbage reset culture; I do not want to follow Tibo on twitter and have my weekly reset time constantly jump around based on his whims. Even when they bounce back and release the best new model again I won't be swapping back over.

That said, I think Opus 5.5 and Astra are close enough in quality that any difference would be a matter of like mostly hot air and top 0.1% percentile nitpicking. I've done a few direct comparisons and it really is just the smallest of things one may end up distinguishing. Everything I've done with Opus 5.5 has been pretty solid. I guess the main thing is that Astra maybe translates better natively, whereas I need to babysit Opus 5.5 more like "Translate this fluently, artistically, with a poetic flair," blah blah to discourage Claude Voice from creeping in. But once it is properly writing in another voice it is really good. I have extreme autism for prose and can barely stomach most human translations but Xiyan read very well to me.

>>51338042
>I have extreme autism for prose and can barely stomach most human translations.
Huh? Why are you reading in the first place?

>>51338046
I'm a JOP. I learned Japanese to avoid it.

Skilled writers writing in their own language are generally fine; translators struggling to craft even malformed adaptations from one language to another are what trigger my autism. The devastating combo of translationese + translators often being poor writers tend to make translations unreadable to me. But LLMs produce highly refined, flawless text most of the time.

>>51338026
>>51338042
gpt flattens it all to slop from my experience, it doesnt keep any of the japanese flavor and completely ignores character voices, everything sounds the same normalized to the nearest english sentence.
Opus takes some looking at to unfuck a sentence's grammar every now and then but its far better

>>51337928
Neat! What games are you planning on translating next? I know there are a couple of JOP praised freege like Nonstories or the epitaph games by Motarou that haven't got TLs yet.

>>51338475
As a JOP I mainly translated this Chinese game because it's in my self-interest. I already played NonStories and I didn't even like it.

When I have usage to spare I'll throw these games in >>51334339 (with less playtesting most likely since I'm busy), since they're Chinese and I have the workflow set up right now, but it's not like I feel like translating things is particularly important. As someone actually interacting with a frontier model, I understand that in 2027 or at latest 2028 someone will be able to tell a far more super intelligent machine something like "translate all these games for me" and it just will automatically.

>>51338937
do this one please, it's short and kinoge: https://nepchan.org/v1386

>>51337928
i wanna read this but afaik it's unfinished? is the dev dead or is it still indev?

>>51338982
Correct - only the first two of four chapters are done. As far as I know, half the reason it's popular is because the developer went on to be the/a lead writer on Arknights. Very unlikely to be finished.

>>51338989
>"Since this will probably be the game's final update (after which I'll abandon the project), I'll try to finish as much content as possible before releasing it."
bruh

>>51337928
sorry one last question: how long is this?

>>51339000
Expect around 20 hours, but playtime will vary depending on if you use the walkthrough or not. It's the kind of game where if you get stuck you can spend hours lost.

MUMBAImasa

>>51338949
That one's already translated on uboachan, the translation is decent.

How expensive is it to slop up a TL yourself? I kinda wanna do one for Tsuyokiss.

>>51339506
As another anon said, there are free options, but they are not cutting edge. Opencode offers like daily free usage of some decent models like Deepseek 4.1 but they're a bit out of date. The TLs won't be awful but they won't be super good either. (Opencode is a "harness" that calls and wrangles the DeepSeek model directly through the api).

You can access cutting edge models for $20 a month on either a Claude or a ChatGPT plan (which gives access to Opus 5.5 and Astra respectively). From there, it will potentially be slow depending on how you approach the translation (as in, it could take like two weeks due to the daily limits on usage), but you will definitely be able to finish. Expect like 1000 lines every 5 hours due to usage limits on Astra.

If you upgrade to a $100 plan you will basically have infinite usage (when it comes to translation) and you can start translating infinite games with the limits being an almost non-factor. It took 10% of my 5x plan's weekly limit on Claude to TL and QC Xiyan including like changing how the textbox and controls work in the optional patch, so I could make 10 of those releases a week if I wanted.

tl;dr Free, $20, or $100, with quality going up if you pay $20 and speed going way up if you pay $100, but free is also viable if the output reads well to you.

>>51339567
Why shouldn't I just wait a few months until the free/cheap models catch up?

>>51339766
No reason. The only thing is that by then the frontier models will be even better (although for the common person that will be a difference of like 99% good to 99.5% good, almost imperceptible most of the time).

Also, mortality I guess? Like you may die before then, or maybe by that point AI destroys the world, or whatever. If you're patient and don't mind potentially the entire world order crumbling before you get a chance to play it then waiting is fine.

>>51339842
New thread up with the updates for this week.

>>51331585
>No one sane reads your MTL slop
Majority of people are insane.

>>51338989
I'm surprised this rumor is still alive. I know full well that there's no evidence to support this claim, but the author of Xiyan has denied elsewhere that they are a writer for Arknights.
