Other [Help Wanted] [Filler DeepL text added] Looking for Volunteers, Cantonese Andy and Leyley v0.2
https://youtu.be/P_OSoi_hix4volunteers, please read carefully
previous scene already went through the manual hand-translated process which everything needs to go through. if it doesn't it'll be garbage.
see original post (why) for motivations and ease of translation, just edit the spreadsheet and i'll build a .cld file (level file) for game with the official tool. then that .cld can just be dragged and dropped into steam
- easy to edit
- relatively short
- set phrases for all insults Andy uses for Lele, vice versa (not yet written)
- murder jokes (easy to translate)
- dirty humor (also easy to translate)
accepting volunteers: if any hkers (or people in guangdong) with some experience at a linguistics institute have a day or two to spare or have alright written cantonese) and who can edit a spreadsheet want to help out lmk
DeepL was chosen as a scaffold over GTranslate (built into sheets) because it supports Colloquial Cantonese and not SWC, most of the grammar is still wrong
here's the Proton Sheet (will need to be exported to .csv) i made, the sheet cuts dialogue into pieces so parts will have to be manually re-edited, DM me for permissions, have backup so not big deal
back when i was doing japanese and swc tl's for fangames people would book a time they were available on a schedule and we would spend days editing the sheet
tl;dr why does this look different from the last time? (skipped to end)
because the base is generated via DeepL, the grammar is all wrong and i will run through it, help needed. that scene was the only one i have written so far.
