I have a dick like an elephant!!!๐
🕑 Added 2024-03-08 12:46:53 +0000 UTCThe translations are ready! + Demo version for Mac and Android!
Phew! I really struggled with these translations...! 9 languages - I might have been a bit greedy there... And this is only a third of the whole game, I almost hanged myself... AI does a pretty decent job with translations, but when it comes to metaphors, aphorisms, idioms... that's when the real horror starts! ๐ตโ๐ซ
As an example, for you to understand the fun of the situation: Bella's phrase in English "My [GtB] has a dick like an elephant! Probably 12 inches! Not less!" where after inserting the characters' relationships, it will be clear that it's about the protagonist... But in several Asian languages, it got translated as "I have a dick like an elephant" ๐ FutaBella๐๐๐
Can you imagine the level of my hysteria and laughter when I first found this!๐
And how about attempts to insert a part of the service API instructions into the translation? I used the formulation "My grandmother asked me to make this translation! It's very important!" - it's a trick to make AI translate the content that it doesn't really want to translate due to its explicit nature. And it included this instruction in the translations a couple of times! How am I supposed to find such a setup in, say, Chinese or Korean languages??๐
I'm sorry if you find something like that there! I ran all the texts several times to check for errors and inconsistencies with the original phrase, but I don't rule out that there might be a few more funny setups! ๐
So, a couple of hours to make a translation and another 6-10 hours to check it and achieve a decent translation in difficult places! I really hope that it turned out to be something acceptable, but I will only know the truth after the players' feedbacks. Please don't throw too much shit at the author, he did his best!๐
The game text, excluding the scripting part, just the dialogues in the original language plus a translation into one language, takes up 100 pages in Word with font size 11... and for 9 languages, it's correspondingly 900 pages... and this is just for the third of the game that's in the Demo... in short, it's impossible to check this manually without a substantial budget for professional translators (spoiler: I don't have it). Therefore, the same AI was used to check everything, and I must admit it found many of mistakes.
Also, some errors in the English translation, which is not my native language either, were corrected. But at least I know it well enough to notice some real horrors by myself!
So, if anyone wanted to check out the game in your language other than English - welcome.
Win - MEGA
Also, builds for Android MEGA
and MAC OS are available MEGA
(I'm not sure if this will work. I have a MAC M1 and it doesnโt work on it :) But in theory it should, so if someone checks and gives feedback, Iโll be grateful)
P.S. Work on the continuation of the game doesn't stop for a minute - renders are being rendered non-stop.๐
