So, the idea is that we work on Re;Birth 2 translation in preparation of the shit fest that will be Re;Birth 3 when it get's released on PC.
Since there isn't a lot of stuff that are outright bad in Re;Birth 2, retranslating it should be relatively easy compared to if we ever are going to attempt to retranslate Re;Birth 3.
Mostly it's just Neptunes dialog that's need to be fixed in Re;Birth 2 and to a lesser extent RAMs.
If we are ever going to get productive, let's set up some priorities and goals
To get started
Firstly we need to asses all the lines of dialog that needs to be changed in Re;Birth 2
Secondly, we need to figure out and make appropriate retranslations for those lines
and we should also find out if there is any way to get our hands on the original japanese script
Let's make it happen

Hi, I'm one of the anons who pushed for this project to be made on /v/. And while I lack the ability to help by playing the games (blame my toaster), I'll keep an eye on the thread and will help as much as possible, if only with suggestions.
Here's what I propose :
>Gather the "NISA = cancer" pics related to Neptunia (/v/ might be able to help on that one, even outside of the Neptunia threads)
>Find someone who can help for the japanese side of this (it can be done on the same thread as the first point, as long as the one making it is clear enough to dissociate that thread from the Neptunia one on /v/, as anons from our /v/ were the one who made the "NISA = cancer" pics, IIRC)
>Keep the morale high (The project won't be done in a day or two, so we need to inform ourselves about what to do regularly)
I'm keeping an interested eye on this thread.

Editfag here
Since we're looking to clean up the mess that Doerr did to Nep, heres the 'NISA = Cancer' pic on how to NOT do translations.
I'll look through my Re;Birth 2 folder and I'll try to sort the scripts by the chapter they appear in along with putting the characters name somewhere so we know who says which line.

>Find someone to help with the japanese side of things
we don't need to hurry on that point, unless we can get ahold of the japanese script and game files
speaking of it, check this out [ http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=722073 ] I haven't tried it so i don't know if it's safe/good
another thing we could do to get ahold of the japanese files is to go all the way to 2ch(or some other prominently japanese forum) and politely ask them to upload the files
where to find people with adequate moonrune skills or even better - actual japanese people (then with adequate english skills instead), we could check here on this site or maybe over on half-chan's /a/ and /jp/ for help on that.
>>838
good to see you here!
we could start by taking notes of where the translation needs to be fixed. like what's said, who said it, what scene and what chapter. If you extract the text like in pic related and you know which line of dialog you wan't to edit, can't you just 'ctr-f'(search for a specific text) search for it?
>>839
nice to see that there is interest!
and believe me, we do need all your help if we're are going to make this

RB2 had two fuckups.
Ram was tweaked a bit further than she should have been. That said it was tolerable but the localization could have been tighter with her.
Neptune on the other hand was FUCKED. Outside of a few scenes her personality is completely shafted.

We're not going to get the script by asking nicely, someone that knows shit has to dump the script from the games. Translations to spanish and french are going to be a pain in the ass because we don't know how the engine is going to handle things like á, é, í, ó, ú, ¿, ¡, ñ, ç.

Dunno about Spanish, but French is readable without accents, and a note can be added to the release to alert people of that before the game is launched, if there isn't other options.

New fan, here. I jumped on this series a month ago. I will say this: I'm looking to score my hands on the Japanese physical releases of all three rebirth games. The money isn't the feat, but the time is. Unless I luck out and run into something on eBay that isn't gouging, I can expect to have these games within the next two months or so.
I'll strike you guys a deal. If you don't have a source for the Japanese script by the time I nab Rebirth 2, I'll pen out the script for you. I've advanced enough in moon to be able to duplicate that much, though my reading skills are still piss-poor. Menus and battle data are notably more difficult, but I can dictate the actual game script.
But again, time is the issue. Imports don't come fast. So if y'all don't have anything by that point, I'll help.
Not signing my name or handing out an email because you don't need one on an anonymous board. So here's a picture. Cheers.

GREETINGS, NEPRADES!
I think I can be your translatorfag. I have JLPT N3 proficiency, some (not a lot) of experience in translating anime, and am basically a NEET until I get a job.
I will point out that I'm not completely familiar with this series, I've only played RB1 and am making my way through RB2 and plan on finishing the anime after that. The only reason I picked up this series at all is because it came out on Steam, actually.
But FUGG MAN, THESE GAMES ARE COZY AS SHIT. I'm seriously on the verge of dumping my old waifu for Neptune, if I didn't know that at least six of you already had her as my waifu.
Anyway, some yuri as a gesture of friendship, and proof of my mediocre Japanese skills.

SMAC Anon from the /v/ thread. Nice to see you here.
Yeah, Steam picked up A LOT of people. 100k got RB1 alone.
Anyway the setting is pretty simple, having played RB1 and going further you should have a bit of familiarity with it already…cute girls representing consoles and game companies do cute and/or fanservicy things (usually…sometimes CH wants tears instead of laughs).
Other things to consider: there's multiple universes, some of them connected with each other, others separate. Usually each universe has a Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc but not always. Pretty much every game has at least one new universe with (generally) completely different versions of the same characters (and the anime/manga qualifies for this as well); if universes are connected with each other the different versions of those characters can interact with each other.
So regarding the project I guess we are sort of in the early stages of organization. We should probably set up some sort of off-site area to communicate with each other, if for no other reason it'd be inconvenient to lose touch with each other if 8chan isn't operational.
IRC is an option, but we could use another system if someone has any other recommendations.

I use Strtool to extract the .cl3 files that contains the script
And rather than checking every folder for the file, I put in '.cl3' in the Explorer search bear & I dragged as many of them into the tool
Then once the txt file is extracted, I edit it to whatever I like & then I put it back on Strtool so that it replaces the .cl3 file that will be used when the game starts up

If the objective of the retranslation is to remove memes and bad jokes, Ram doesn't need to be "fixed" at all.

Well in general it'd be nice to tighten up Ram's lines a bit. That "Blanny-Blanny-Blah" bit for instance.
Also when you first meet Ram she attacks because "foreign = hostile" in the Doerr version, IIRC in the OG version in Japan it's due to her being pissed about GeGe not bringing Blanc back from the Graveyard.

Alright. I'm not sure exactly what's going on at the moment. I know just in the last day or so Vice Virtuoso said he'd have a go at RB2 as well. So things are certainly solid on the translation front, though we could always use more help.
I think we are starting to get into a good position regarding RB2, considering there's not too much we have to fix comparatively that we are aware of.
If possible we might want to start preparing for RB3. It's only a few weeks out, and it'll be much harder to clean up job than RB2 will be. Certainly we should go through the RB2 script in the meantime, of course.

Buyfag, here. Fedex has landed. I'll have RB2 in my hands before Saturday.
I'll make some kind of timetable to work with from there so that this doesn't become a ghost project. My aim overall is not to exceed a month ripping this (Play time, exploring paths, new game+).
Again, I'll also clarify that I am focusing JUST on the script, so menus/attacks/etc are going to fall by the wayside until the script's C&P'd.
I'll get to work on it by Sunday. Progress reports will be weekly if there's no better pace ideas.

Looking at that list I suggested, I gave GeGe and Ram the same color. GeGe get's medium pink and Ram gets dark pink.
Also Maker text in italics so we don't confuse them with Noire.
I'll make a few suggestions on the document to get the ball rolling.
TRANSLATORS
Is there anything you need to begin?

I'm pretty sure the reason why nothing is getting worked on for now is because there's no source of the original Japanese script of RB:2.
Sure, someone made a Google doc, and uploaded the English script here. >>923
Also, this guy >>898 ordered the original Japanese game to do so.
But that really depends when people like >>872 will start working on the translation.
Unless I'm missing something here, and people have been working behind the lines.

I dropped a line in the /v/ thread, I don't have a Vita so I really couldn't say where to begin. It doesn't look like there are any generic tools for it.
And I'm not sure if there's written Japanese in any release of the PC port, so the tools we have for that platform wouldn't work…
Worst case scenario is you'd have to go through the entire game, write down everything in Japanese, then translate it to English. Preferably we could also have the raw script provided to us as well.
That's not even talking about any potential localizing as well…

You could go the lazy way and just screenshot every line in japanese, that's less workable than text technically but you're not re-translating the whole script so that might work, Wouldn't take much more time than just watching through the LP
Only technical problem here is finding is rip or watch niconico through a local player to facilitate the screenshotting process, which I'm pretty sure is doable.

Quality looks about 360p for the free version. Text seems legible, but blurry.

What I am doing right now is downloading all video of the playthrough starting at Chapter 4-5, when Nep comes into play. It's slow going but once I have everything organized I'll start dumping caps. Anyone also want me to upload the MP4s anywhere else?
I might even be able to upload the videos here using a VP9 pass and a lowish bitrate…they are only 360p after all as well.

>It doesn't make it much better for people reading it. It might just be faster to transcribe screencaps. We already go the prologue knocked out…
Yeah especially since It's not that practical unless you OCR, I still managed to get the screencap to be a tiny bit better looking without any real effort thanks to the default filtering options present in smplayer.
Auto-crop is easy but not really sure it's that necessary.
Upscaling filters (xBR, HQx etc) make it look all muddled or blocky so that's no good either.
>Anyone also want me to upload the MP4s anywhere else?
Not really needed since you can download them straight from nicovideo without even having an account so unless they get deleted no real reason to upload them but if you really want something somewhat reliable I have a seedbox and plenty of free space on it and I can do some remote uploading to several filehosts if need be.
Would be a good idea to have a list of links to those videos so that it's easier to find and organize shit.
Speaking of which I have plenty of free time and I wanna help you with the screencapping, how do we go about doing that somewhat efficiently?
>I might even be able to upload the videos here using a VP9 pass and a lowish bitrate…they are only 360p after all as well.
Not sure that's a good idea, the original are already blurry as fuck and even using some tricks to make the video as small as possible without losing too much quality not sure it will be good enough, and splitting the whole thing in 8MB parts is most definitely not worth the time.

However the priority targets are Nep and Ram, for sure. But, if we find anything else that was badly done…
…one pet peeve I'd personally like to trash is Nepgear's "Goodness!" shit, which is in no other translation of Nep material outside of Nick's efforts…

See the thing is, is his Leddit tendencies obscure any of his other work. From what we know, the rough translated script for RB3 was superb. And yet the end result was little better than Victory due to his "go overboard with memes" fetish.
We have a number of really good translators willing to work so the rough conversion to ENG isn't a concern, but I think the risky part is when we get into localization…

Shit. Sup. Few bad things happened. I got seriously sick over the last week. And the time I wasn't sucking on sleep and pills, I was sucking on pay-the-rent work and pills. Mostly recovered at this point.
The other thing is I haven't finished my first run of Rebirth1 so I've been hammering at that more than starting through the RB2 run. Now with that almost done, and now being more familiar w/the battle and buffs and so on, I'm going to take on RB2.
What I intend to do is a series of screencaps as opposed to making people wait for just text-to-script. I figure I can release those at least three times a week on /nep/ and /v/ (/v/ doesn't operate at break-neck speeds so I'm confident about throwing up rars). The caps would actually have all the game's info: menus, attack names, descriptions, etc.
I'm still doing the pure-text pastebins because it helps sharpen my own familiarity with runes. the pastebins will be the actual story/character script only (shit, can you edit pastebins without an account? I forget).
I'm also not character partial that's a lie i love the fuck out of Plutia and IF and Vert so I'll be going through however many endings there may be.
tl;dr
- Was sick. sorry.
- Was work. sorry.
- Was Nep-Neping. Oops.
- At least three nights a week, look forward to caps
- Sunday, look forward to a pastebin dump or edit (or google if i go that route)
- Plutia a best

It's not Neptunia related, but here's some things I found in regards to how translated dialogue differs from one another.
It might help how you guys would localize the scenes better than what the original team did.
Here, we can see how Ganon's dialogue from Wind Waker brought out his character, as the tone and message were kept intact…

Me again. I created a Wikidot page myself to see if I could help trouble shoot.
Try inserting this line…
[[module Join button="Click here to become a member"]]
After editing the page.
Also I noticed another problem. A free site has a size limit of 300MB.
It'd be convenient to have the unarchived screen caps available to view via mouse-click…since the CH4 caps that were just uploaded weigh in at +400MB, this is clearly an issue.

I think if I can reduce the file size for these to 35kb then uploading them shouldn't be too hard for our space restrictions. They'll look even worse than they do now, but whatever.
Also I'll drop a credit in for Tsuvasa@LEANSTAR, the LPer we got the footage we have so far as well…

Running batch conversions in IrfanView from the original PNGs to JPG. I'm using the option to save the files at 35kb to ensure that we have plenty of free space on the wiki. I've converted Ch. 4 & 6 already, and Conquest is underway.
The first shot is the raw PNG, the second is the converted JPG. The quality difference around the text, which is what we care about, isn't too bad. It'll be fine until we have some other solution for the wiki where we can open the spigots a bit more.
Alternatively we could just host these images on the Wiki only for the duration of the RB2 translation and then switch them out with RB3 captures when that becomes the thing to do.

The first drop is gonna take a bit longer. But at the least it's not an atom bomb of a memory eater (under 40MB at current count of 181 caps). I either have to figure out a ghetto-rig solution or hijack my friend's win7 laptop.

I messed around with the formatting a bit and it looks a bit more possible now for the images. With 100px horizontal resolution thumbnails, that should give everyone between 10-16 pictures per row. That's still like 90 rows but it's way less retarded than what was previously set up. The thumbnails may take up a little bit extra space though.
I wish there was some way we could make it searchable or something but I guess it can't be helped.

Someone on the /v/ thread was concerned regarding C&D actions. While we can't fully isolate ourselves against such an (extremely unlikely) event, I've made some fair use text for the screen caps with a view to mitigate issues along those lines. I will throw this onto the wiki momentarily:
'W'e would like to credit [http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/46588411 Tsuvasa@LEANSTAR] for some of the source footage we used to help translate this project. We would suggest that you watch his videos at some point, should you have the time.''
Screen captures from this source are likely owned via copyright by another party. We believe that the use of images of this playthrough constitutes "fair use", as they are being used for research purposes in the pursuit of creating a transformative work (a brand new English translation and localization of the game, which would thus superceed the original work in Japanese).

At this rate, it'll take a month at least to upload all the screen caps that we already have, let alone whatever VitaAnon is organizing.

puush actually deletes your files every month if you don't use them.

Eh. I'm a little leery about bringing in outside groups…not that I'm a "muh sekrit club" type at all but this is sort of a sensitive phase of the translation right now.
Besides, I think we can handle RB2 by ourselves. RB3 looks like a whole script replacement, so if there were a situation where we might need to actively seek extra guns, it would be then.
That said, it's a good idea to find any additional groups that have a good track record.

Yep. Should have known that we were opening a can of worms.
If you would be able to BOLD all the changes you made, that would be very helpful for other translators/localizers.
Also I did a little bit of formatting adjustments to your changes. You can only have X number of characters per line before it falls off into space. 251064 on Page 0161 might be a little too long for example, but we can fineness it at a later point.
On box 246064 on Page 0156, I adjusted Rom's sentence a little. The wording is exactly the same, but I replaced the comma in the middle with an ellipsis (as is the common style from Rom's speech). If it is a problem, it's easy enough to revert.
It'll be interesting going over your changes once the Ch. 2 JPN script is made available! Thank you for your work!

>Speak of such, is Nepgear's "Goodness!" schtick something reflected in the original dialogue at all? I've never seen her use that tic in any translation effort where Doerr isn't localizing…
Strictly speaking, no. That said, I personally don't think it's worth the effort to edit her tic out. As far as I can recall it only ever comes up when Nepgear is saying something comparable in Japanese, and unlike some of Doerr's other "creative" translations, it doesn't significantly detract from her character or even alter it much.

The youtube links works fine for me. It's shitty quality because I took them back before I knew how to properly operate OBS, but they are functional enough for translation work.
>>1121
I'm doing it by sound. I've said it before, but I don't get the obsession with getting the original Japanese transcript, what with most scenes being voiced. Sure, they are needed to fix the unvoiced chirper events, and it would make things easier, but that's no reason to stop work entirely.
Side note, but we probably should get a list of translators soon. The "anyone with the link can edit" plan works for now, but with news of the project starting to spread it's only a matter of time before some troll from cuckchan or something and draws metaphorical dicks all over it.

For that it would probably be better if I set up some sort of group or had the emails of the translations, so I could lock down the doc and add them to the whitelist.

Just an update on how it's going with the Chapter 2 script.
Chapter 2 is the longest and probably most dialogue heavy chapter in the game since it introduces most of the main characters, which is why this has taken longer than expected.
I've just finished the Lowee arc script of the chapter meaning that 2/3 of it is done. I hope to get the rest done this week but other things are getting in the way that is slowing down progress.

So, let's try and get chapter two and three done by the end of this week.

One step at a time, boys. We are still nowhere near getting RB2 retranslated. Sure, we've made alot of progress, but there's still 5 chapters worth of content left, and most of the cancer is localized in chapter five and the chirper events, which we haven't even touched yet.
Lets talk about RB3 after that is done.

It needs an editing pass, but assuming we don't find anything I think we can officially state that chapter 2 is cancer free. That's a good third of the game, so if we keep going at this rate we should be able to meet that Nov 1st deadline with time to spare.

is anything going to be done with Ai-chan's Nep-ko vs Iffy's Neppers, or Compa's GeGe vs Nep-chan, or will you leave those alone?
What about titles and names like Nepgear often calling Neptune Onee-chan or the way characters speak to each other with -san -chan etc?

I could see a place for a patch to fix where the text goes off the rails in some places on the PC version. But, you hardly need a translation team for that.
The likelihood of a hyper-literal translation with broken uncorrected grammar, Japanese memes, etc. is about 0.1% chance of happening.

Hello.
I recently found out about your translation project and always kinda wanted to help out on one so I was wondering if you guys might need another hand on the R3 project. I took Japanese when I was in school but have since forgot most of it (lack of use) and thought I might be able to re-learn and help out if I can. I know hira/katakana, a fair chunk of basic grammar and I know how to use a kanji dictionary. I don't expect to be all that much use but don't mind doing busywork (like translate the whole item list or something).
Would you guys need someone like me?

Say, I'm thinking, should we create a thread on the steam forums for the RB3 retranslation project? I know we managed to pull this thing off, but it'd be nice if we could get more help for the RB3 project.
Additionally, I'm thinking that it would be best if we separate the working script into different documents by chapters for RB3. You might have noticed, but compiling all seven hundred of them into the same document made it run awfully slow.

Yeah, I mentioned the document slowness in IRC earlier. R.G. and myself both saw some value in splitting up the documents a bit more for RB3.
If you want to create thread on the Steam forums, it's not necessarily a bad idea but we will have to keep track of potential contributors rather more strenuously. I think we need to keep the core of the work here for sure, as well.

Oh, yeah, we're going to need to properly vet people before we let them actually work on the translation.

Alright, apparently some people on /v/ think the RB3 project is dead or something because we haven't posted in this thread for like 2 weeks. So, I'm just going to do a status update here and if anyone has any questions or shit just fire back. I don't even know if the post will show in like the next 12 hours given how 8chan is but whatever.
—
Basically the big deal about a two weeks ago was finding a RB3 script in Japanese that we could directly drop into the game. This is going to be a big help and I at least have it on my machine. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
However IRL shit has occurred with everyone and while we are still working on the retranslation for RB3 it's going a little slower than anticipated. On my end personally I had a packed schedule all through Thanksgiving week AND the weekend, except Thanksgiving Day itself of course. So I could contribute little to anything over the whole previous week.
However it seems like business is starting to pick up again so there should be more news soon specifically related to the RB3 side of things.
At least with what time we've had, we have been further improving the RB2 translation. v1.21 should be out soon, which should have some buggy dialogue fixes. At some point there will be a v1.3 which will have some substantial changes to the translation (more lines addressed, some adjustments based on technical issues, etc).
So that's basically how everything is going right now. We have live chat going so we are in constant contact with each other, and with a 300+ post thread on 8chan, it's a bit more of a reliable venue at the moment. However with Infinity coming out soon that should hopefully resolve this issue and you'll see this thread being used for actual business again.

I would've figured a new thread would be the solution given that this board isn't very lively, but Next -is- coming out really soon.
Thanks for the update post, real life things getting in the way around this time of year makes sense. The worry about the project being abandoned probably came from how many fantranslations get held off for ages at the start if there simply aren't any translators around even with a script, which is what it looked like since a script was left here before plain silence.

Retranslation Update for December 11th, 2015
Small update since people wanted these. Anyway last week we got out the 1.21 patch for the retranslation. That more or less resolves all the major grammar problems we discovered since releasing it.
Next up is v1.3; this will be a somewhat substantial update, it will tighten up the dialog even more, particularly in the first couple of chapters but elsewhere as well.
Since we did a fix pass last time,and we were extra careful with this patch, we won't have to do much testing with this one so this should be out sooner rather than later.
However my real life situation just suddenly got a lot more jammed up. I was hoping to do the update this week but I suddenly got wind of an interesting opportunity or two on my end thus it's delayed the release a bit. Sometime next week, perhaps.
As far as the Rebirth 3 translation that's still in progress but needless to say a mid-December launch isn't happening at this point. Hopefully it'll be out in January or February. We could still use one or two extra translators as well, since this is a fairly large project in comparison to RB2.
So there you go. Things are on a slow burn, but the fire is still lit.

To run the patch or to translate it? I assume the latter since you merely require having RB2 in your possession to use the retranslation.
But basically we need to get a script somewhere to translate these games. We already sourced out a few things for RB3, but we could always use a high-quality text dump.

Retranslation Update for December 28th, 2015
It's been a few weeks since the last update, but progress has been made on both RB2 and RB3.
For RB2, v1.3 of the patch has been released. This the largest update since the mod went public, with 52 scenes revised. We tightened up the script some more; IF calls Nepgear, "Nepgear" rather than "Gear". Also Leanbox in Chapter 2 had a fair number of updates. Some interjections reflected in the original Japanese script and in the audio were added to otherwise passable English lines as well.
We ran into a weird bug where adding too much text to a scene would cause entire subsequent panels to get pushed out of the game. This occurred in particular in Chapter 6. No one's sure why that happened or how we can replicate it. In any event, I had to do some unintended last-minute contractions to existing lines to get the rest of the included fixes in those sections playing nice. Since those alterations do not impact the meaning of the scene, it would appear to be a complete success in that regard. Hopefully, we won't run into this with RB3 but if we do we have a means of combatting it going forward.
That should be the last patch for RB2 for now. I need to get some additional materials for any future patches but that will require some time.
As it stands with the new year incoming we can now focus all of our efforts on RB3. The entire script has been uploaded. It was a massive undertaking, to say the least.

>The entire script has been uploaded. It was a massive undertaking, to say the least.
To further elaborate on this, the main issue here was google docs, since it runs like ass when trying to load the R;B2 script, even on chromium-based browsers. So for R;B3 I had to separate them into ~50 scripts per file.
So, while translation is ongoing for R;B3 I'll be looking into other solutions for hosting the files that have similar or better functionality than google docs provides.

Retranslation Update for January 11th, 2016
Latest on the next Retranslation. The good news is that we have made tangible progress on the RB3 side of things since RB2 was shelved. The prologue is more or less hashed out (although I'm sure we'll run a double check), and we are moving into Chapter One.
So far, the text troubles in RB3 seem to be basically islands of loosely translated text in between parts that aren't really that bad. Additionally, there's a lot less lines that have been utterly transformed into something that completely diverges from the original intentions in Japanese…but there still is a fair amount of Neptune meme speak that, while it gets the point across, is still cancerous. However THAT chemo is proceeding apace.
That said, the pace is still somewhat slow as schedules have not lightened up as much as we had expected after Christmas and New Years. Obviously since he HAVE gotten some work done it is better, but even with another couple translators joining, we still have people getting slammed up. As a result, if you can translate Japanese, we are definitely looking for your help to take the pressure off of the situation. The more people we can organize, the quicker this can get done.

Retranslation Update for January 22nd, 2016
Since the last update, we've gotten through a lot of Chapter 1. Neptune's lines are a lot less cancerous at this stage. Also Arfoire got singed by the "bad localization" fairy, however we are taking care of her as well.
We've also been experimenting with scripting to make the translation process a little easier.
We are still trying to see if there are any translators who would like to assist, but also on that note we have made some progress with two more people joining the team since the last update. One of them has in fact been very aggressive with the work during this period.
I suspect Chapter 2 isn't too far off at this pace. I've looked ahead to future dialogue and I've seen a few pages towards the end of the dump that are in native Japanese to this day. Very interesting indeed.
That's it for now. We are moving softly on…

Good to hear on the VII front. There's been a screenshot or two floating around that got a few people concerned, but I'm waiting for the final product release to see what is up for sure.
Anyway, I'll give you a mini-update since it seems like my estimate on Chapter 2 was accurate; we just started work on it today. In fact we had a very complicated chat over the Sadie nickname (which Neptune starts using in that chapter).
It might seem like an obvious problem but in truth it wasn't so…and changing it could have introduced other issues later on. Anyway, we've resolved it and are getting on with additional work.

Retranslation Update for January 28th, 2016
Another week or so, another update.
Last week I stated we would be moving into Chapter 2 soon. This was proven accurate as the very next day we started work on it. We've gotten half-way though it so far.
We also started making working builds of the RB3 Retranslation as well. No, you can't have them. With that out of the way, we are already coming up on a problem that we did not run into until late in the RB2 project. There's a technical issue where, if you put down to many characters of text in a scene, it causes the dialogue to go crazy and no longer render. This became a problem in one scene already.
However we are not helpless in regards to this. While I knew we had some good translators on the team but I had no idea that they also had some /tech/ background as well. One of them is currently making a tool to supersede the current editing tools available for the Neptunia engine, one that will allow us to change the number of characters we can use in total, in a scene. Very handy.
One of our other translators also wrote a script to import the Japanese RB3 script into an Excel spreadsheet, which I am personally importing into the current documentation we are using to help translate the game. While there's a few things I have to worry about for editing purposes, it's going to make the whole process a lot simpler going forward for everyone.
I'm not sure when we will start getting to Chapter 3…at this speed I'd guess we'd have a good shot of hitting by this time next week. Maybe sooner. However, the updated Neptunia editing tools will slow us down a little, but they are desperately needed. Not only for us, but for others who want to use our projects as a basis for other translations as well (like from English to German, or French for example). Also our Editor, the one who did so many story scenes for RB2 and RB3, may find it of use as well.
More information as it comes by, but we really are entering a very interesting phase right now.

I'll ask, although I don't think it'll be a problem. It's going to at least cover the text document format for the game; at the very least, it should allow us to adjust the "character ceiling" (so to speak) without having to use a hex editor.
It's obviously still in development, so more news as it comes along…

Alright, it's ready to put out there. We made a new tool for the Victory/Re;Birth engine. It's called STCM Editor, it's basically a new text editor that replaces NR#_STRTOOL - the text editor that more or less comes with Kitserver (which is needed to run things like the Retranslation). You can pretty much throw STRTOOL straight into the trash with this out.
The reason for making this was as I stated earlier; the current tool was more or less a hack that didn't always put the text back together the right way once you edited it. This would basically cause the game to flip its shit during a dialogue scene.
We didn't have this problem too much in RB2, but we encountered it right away in RB3. So we made this to finally stick a fork in the issue. Aside from being able to edit text, you can also further take apart the CL3 file, run a file analysis…it's just most powerful all around.
Also, while the readme says explicitly it's for RB3, it'll actually pretty much work with every Neptunia game starting with Victory going forward, at least if my tests with the ReBirth series as a whole are anything to go by.
If you have any bugs to report, post 'em here or in the generals on /v/ or /nep/.
Thanks to U3Shit for taking the time out of translating RB3 to make this.

Retranslation Update for February 4th, 2016
Well, we had a mini-update about two days ago, but I think it's about due for a full update on the projects as they stand.
First off, spent a couple hours in GIMP tonight working with the logo for RB3, in order to get it up to the same spec as the logo that Editanon did for RB2's retranslation. This is what I managed, I don't think it looks half bad honestly.
Anyway, that's not the important work. That's the retranslation itself, and it's still going…a bit more slowly this week since one of our more prolific translators on this project, U3shit, decided that the old text editing software for the Re;Birth (or should I say Victory?) Engine needed to die, so he wrote a replacement tool for it. It's already seen about 2 revisions since release, and in general is a lot more careful about repacking text than the stuff that came with Kitserver.
This new tool is important as, especially with RB3, there's a lot of stuff in these files aside from dialogue scripts. Already in one 3D scene, we encountered a bug that had to be adjusted for, regarding the titles of the Seven Sages. Additionally, this new tool goes a long way to solving text additions breaking the game. It may have even more features as time goes on.
As it stands though, we are still on Chapter 2, but we are getting towards the end of it. Soon it'll be done and we'll move on to Chapter 3, although the ETA on that is unsure. However it should be within the next week or so. I am attempting to corral extra translators for this as we speak.
I'm also working on updating the RB2 project. I was not anticipating this, but the new tool plus the discovery of an improved font has lead to new possibilities with the script in both games that we are considering. As it stands, I'm making corrections that were previously impossible in RB2 thanks to these timely developments. I view the upcoming 1.4 patch however as more of a test of the technology improvements we have made to deal with RB3, rather than a strict patch for RB2. Basically it'll be an excellent torture test for these additions.
That's all for now. If you want to help translate, give us a buzz as always. However, if you can't make time to work on this whole project, please consider helping out with the Hello New World translation going on in…

Retranslation Update for February 10th, 2016
So last week we published a tool to help work with the RB3 dialogue. Since then it's been updated a bit, and just today a few small patches were added to allow it to screw around with Effects-related CL3s. This adds a little more flexibility in some areas, including those relating to emoticons and Nepstation. Not that I foresee us using them for this project, but you never know.
Anyway, Chapter 2 is processed and we've moved onto Chapter 3. We are still quite early in that chapter and have recently taken on another translator, who is sort of feeling out the project right now. Hopefully this will make everything go a bit faster on this front, as the technical side of this project has slowed down translation a bit (as stated earlier).
As far as RB2 goes, I'm still working on repacking all the text from that one. It's gone much slower than I was anticipating as I've run into some commits that we did for v1.0 that never made it into the subsequent patches for one reason or another. However, I have finally addressed this and have made the script more consistent overall going forward in this regard.
Bear in mind that, due to this "fine tooth comb" approach to RB2RT v1.4 that I am taking, methods to speed things up like batch processing are really not appropriate at the moment while I re-document everything. However, I feel as though I can get this out for Valentine's Day.
Rather amusingly, some people had pointed out some typos that they had thought we had made on Steam earlier. However in some instances, they were in fact errors in the vanilla script (although there were others that were errors on our end as well). I'm not really surprised as RB3 has a number of misspellings itself, so it'd make sense to see that here as well given the similar personnel involved in both games.
Finally, we've at last had a member step back from these projects. Known around here generally as Editor or Editanon, he was instrumental in compiling the script for RB2RT in its early stages back into the game. However, he has indicated elsewhere that presently he no longer is able to contribute those skills to the project. Fortunately, everyone's familiarity with the internals of the Neptunia Engine have improved substantially since our very first public release (especially evident in last few updates), but his contributions at those nascent stages were very valuable indeed. Hopefully he'll stick around and unleash more Neptunia mods and OC here in the future; it certainly seems like that is a strong possibility at the moment, most agreeably.
So that raps up the last week or so of work on this. As always, if you can translate or code, we could definitely use your help.

Retranslation Update for February 18th, 2016
This week is a little slow, at least in view of the last few weeks. On the RB3 side of things, we are still working on Chapter 3 due to scheduling issues with out non-/tech/ translators, and further software development from those who do have that background. That said, we are over halfway done with that chapter, although the worst parts of it should be those last few scenes (which all nearly all quite long).
However back in RB2 land, things have been very busy indeed with the release of v1.4 of the retranslation. I'm happy to see no reports of any technical difficulties with it so far, this bodes well for RB3 when we implement the tool there.
As far as the RB2 project, it'll be on the backburner for a bit as of this point, but we have a clear roadmap for v1.5. It should have a substantial focus on new script revisions, particularly on the side scenes of the game. While the most important of those scenes (the ones with CG or extended sequences) have been well treated, there are numerous unvoiced ones that could do with some some expansion. Several of these will when 1.5 is released, although this will likely be sometime after RB3RT is out.
As usual, we are always looking for more translators. If you want to pitch in, get a hold of us.

Retranslation Update for February 25th, 2016
Things are still going a little slowly on the retranslation side, although tool progress is still proceeding apace. The latest versions of STCM are now capable of editing some files that the previous STRTOOL could only do in a very hacky way in a relatively clean manner, so all and all our editing options are increasingly robust.
Also it's been a long time coming but we are reorganizing the RB2 translation documents we've been using for the last 4-5 months or so. Our previous solution was getting so slow that it was impossible for some of the translators to open. Now with a revision of the documentation, it's looking much nicer…and working better as well. Once the comments for 1.5 are dropped into it, I'll be able to unleash it onto our translators once again, although I've personally had some IRL issues to work through that have delayed my abilities in that regard.
Also Chapter 3 for RB3 is nearly done, but we've also taken time to reassess our older work as well this week. We did another pass of Chapter 2, and we should have a discussion of some of the proposed changes for that this weekend.
So a few updates, things are still coming together slowly.

Retranslation Update for March 2nd, 2016
So STCM is still being updated with new features, but we have made some more progress with the RB3 project. Chapter 3 isn't done, but we made more progress in it. Some of us have skipped ahead though and have worked on some of the later Chapters in the game, however. So we now have a fair amount of work done for Chapters 4 and 6.
So, rather a lot of work has in fact been done this week! Also we have the Japanese script on the same page as the English script throughout the entire RB3 documentation now, so this should speed up future efforts significantly.
As we are working on the script and starting to get halfway or more through it, we are starting to confirm some a strange observation about RB3 that we were running into earlier; it doesn't seem to be actually as bad as RB2 is. Neptune's translation is about as bad, to be honest, there's rather a lot that's fairly close to the original meaning. Or in the case of some of the memes that are in fact in there, having been treated the same way they were treated in VII (perhaps somewhat less elegantly this time, however).
Lemme put it to you like one of our translators did to me recently. If you've played RB3 already, you probably are aware of the scene where Vert asks MAGES, "When does the narwhal bacon?"
Fairly cringe-worthy, but it's a line meant to replace what is in fact ALSO a meme.
Some background: in 2002, a Japanese 2ch poster started a thread stating something along the lines of "NullPointerException is now Nurupo", with an ASCII character saying that. The very next poster posted an ASCII character whacking the previous one, with a "GA!" sound effect. So, when someone says "Nurupo", you respond with "GA!"
This meme, being of 2002 vintage is almost "All Your Base" era. It is REALLY OLD. But it got picked up in Steins;Gate around the time the very first Neptunia game was released (in a similar scene), and given what company MAGES represents…
…so the "narwhal bacon" usage was meant as a replacement to deal with the issue, since a lot of the meaning is lost in translation. And since Nurupo is used as a greeting, as Narwhal has been in the past, this makes some sense. Also though it's still not the most appropriate meme to replace it with for a variety of reasons. So we could fix that aspect up a bit.
In any event, we are running into these situations every so often. I guess in terms of RB3, the image of Neptune blabbing out ">memes" is much more appropriate for this one than we initially realized.
Thus, we have a goal for release right now; chemo obvious screwups with other characters lines (and to be fair we have run into our share of those as well), and also de-retard Neptune. This should make the game - generally - a lot more playable than it is now.
So, with that out of the way, we'll get back to work.

56239b No.2857
Incidentally, this is also the reason that I'm not contributing nearly as much to the RB3 project as I did to the RB2 project. Unlike RB2, which literally changes several of the characters personalities and in some cases the meaning of the scene entirely, RB3's problems mostly boil down to wording choices.
Most of RB3's problematic lines fall into the "This is technically okay, but sounds kinda funny" or the "This isn't quite accurate, but it captures the spirit of what's being said." categories. The few that aren't are mostly Neptune's lines, and even then it's still mostly an issue of word choices.
It's just really hard to summon that same drive when at the end of the day all you end up doing is making minor edits.

Long story short, last month has had many things in real life occur of import that basically I don't know what is going on with the project at this point. This situation is projected to remain as such for the indeterminate future, but for practical reasons it simply means less updates, and less verbose ones when they do pop out.
I know some more work is going into the new tools, but as far as script progress I really couldn't say much other than a chit-chat with one of the translators last night indicate things are still happening, albeit slowly.

However more interestingly within the last few weeks U3 has made further refinements to his Neptools package and has devised a method with which one can open the RB3 Retranslation (or indeed any mod for and of the RB games) that completely bypasses Kitserver.
This is good as Kitserver, from what U3 has seen poking around with it, is just as hacky as the original set editing tools we used back in the RB2RT days. In fact, I believe we discovered that Kitserver has a memory leak, which might impact game stability over time. I for sure verified that the Kitserver program itself is only about 5kb in size (most of the 200kb that you see is in fact the PNG icon imbedded in it). So having a potential replacement for it is rather nice, all things being equal.
We will for sure include this in RB3RT. As far as how this is impacts RB2RT, I am thinking of releasing a "1.41" patch very soon that implements this new functionality. There would be no content changes but it might make the retranslation easier to install and manage for people. Of course if anyone likes Kitserver for some reason they can continue using 1.40; either way the experience would be largely the same for now.

It's going to get a little faster in this particular thread soon though with VII announced for PC.
I thought it'd be MONTHS before it'd get ported…

Retranslation Update for May 11th, 2016
Yes stuff is still actually happening, I'm just not really posting about it.
But first off to fully confirm what I said in the other thread I'm the new BO for /nep/; not a duty I was anticipating handling but I'll do my best.
Anyway that's sort of academic in regards to the state of RB3RT. In a discussion I had with one of our translators a night or two ago, they are at the end of the game now in terms of looking through the script. While that seems pretty final, keep in mind that RB3 has a lot of post-game sidequest material too, which is also going to be looked into. But in terms of the main story we are plugging along.
As we go along in the game, there are many parts where it is much better, but we still run into the occasional Doerr flair. For example, rather than say "children", we have "miniature adults". What is there that's taken too loosely is generally better hidden than it is in RB2, but still there are some winners.
As far as the technical side of things the new asset hooking system U3 has designed seems to work well with RB2, so I think I'll release a new version of RB2RT with that going for it quite soon. After that, and RB3RT getting a little more firmed up, we can go through some areas in RB2 again for a potential 1.5 release.

Eagerly awaiting the re-translation of Re;Birth 3. If you guys don't release it, I'll probably never play Victory/RB3.
The work you guys do, out of passion for the games - I can't describe how much I appreciate it. Hope you guys aren't killing yourselves over the project. Take it easy!

It's not too bad although I've had a lot less involvement in it the last two months for IRL reasons, but I'm trying to get my personal momentum back.
Hopefully babysitting this board will refocus my attention on Neptunia a little more, although the situation that distracted me from it is still ongoing.
The other team members are working on it here and there too; it'll definitely get released, so that run-through of RB3 is something in your future.

Retranslation Update for June 24th, 2016
A lot has happened since the last update.
For a start, RB3's main game script has been repaired. Overall the changes are probably less dramatic than RB2's repairs but still you should have a benefit of a less moronic Neptune.
The DLC material still has to be done, but that can be included at a later date. As it stands, with a conversation with the translator working on the DLC, RB3RT is largely is good to go.
This leads to the next announcement, that the guy working on the DLC is our last dedicated translator at the present time. Our other one, who did a stupendous amount of work on RB2, is stepping away presently. He's done a hell of a lot of work and really RB2RT would not have been possible without him.
Of course this gets into a larger question; once RB3RT is done (inc. DLC), where do we go from there? I don't have a really good answer for that at this time, but really it's not something we need to think about until we get RB3 is squared away.
In any event, I still want to release v1.41 of RB2RT first as it uses the new launcher that we will use with RB3RT. The main problem now, with both games, is largely both on my end as I need to scrape together the time to compile these two releases and get them out to everyone.

Well, now you have another reason to be happy.
v1.42 of the RB2 project is out!
Basically people with old computers can use the new launcher now. The script is all text files now, so you can easily get at them.
The mod size is also much smaller now too since most of it is now in plaintext. And since everything's much smaller, we've returned to the ZIP format again.

v1.422 for Rebirth 2 is released!
Basically we are doing the script a new automated program but that caused crashing related problems due to the old shared translation file we used having bizarre formatting and errors. However that's been fixed.

Retranslation Update for July 12th, 2016
Well, we were hoping to get the RB3 project out before VII was released, but several things pushed that back.
For a start, we hadn't released a version of any retranslation with Neptools for the default launcher over Kitserver. Once we included it with RB2, we ran into a few unanticipated problems, but fortunately they were quickly corrected. The upside of all this is when RB3RT comes out, we won't have those problems at launch for that production.
A bit more troublesome is the final editing pass. As you've probably sussed out from reading the last couple of updates, I had more or less had little to do with the project for a 3-4 month period, taking a necessary hiatus just after a period of trying to expand the team and get it done a bit faster. That didn't really pan out and as a result progress was slow.
On top of that, we only recently were in a position to include the DLC in the retranslation, and since then all the dedicated translators have left the project or at least gone on hiatus of their own for awhile. So that part, outside of obvious repairs, is pretty much virgin territory for us. It's also a full fifth of the game.
And, since I was away, I was unable to keep track of all the changes to the game's script. So until I go through it and double-check everything, I don't feel confident enough to release it just yet.
But I am getting what is done cleaned up and ready for release. Grammar errors, a few extra repairs, and so on. So far the Prologue and Chapter 1 are gold and I would have no problem with them being out in the public domain, after a few days of extra cleanup.
However, I wouldn't mind having some extra help, especially since my real-life situation is still far from resolved. If anyone – preferably with some Japanese experience – would like to help edit this and finalize any outstanding issues with the script…or even better do that AND also retranslate the DLC…that would be very handy for us.
Anyway, I'm going to get back to editing in a moment and start on Chapter 2 cleanup. I'm tempted to do a livestream or some kind of recording of these early parts, but I'd rather devote the time to getting this out the door unless some more people start helping out.
ALSO…Neptunia VII is now supported by Neptools! It's a little untested, but if you wanna mod the new game, it's now possible. Pic related.

Thank you so much for all the hard work on this. I found a lot of the dialogue in Rebirth 2 intolerable so have been waiting for the retranslation of the third game before playing it. I'm really looking forward to getting started and being able to experience the game as the original writer's intended.

No problem, but we aren't done with either yet.
I'm made a dedicated thread for the new project for the time being where you can report issues or whatever else related to the patch you want to report.
In fact, here's a new version. Posting it here to make sure it gets maximum pickup.

Retranslation Update for September 14th, 2016
We are still here. It's been an interesting couple of months as the release of the latest patch as generated a lot of interest outside of Steam, and here.
While there's no new patches for either Rebirth projects brewing at the moment - although I'm looking for more personnel, particularly translators, as always - there's been one VERY INTERESTING development, which you can see elsewhere on this board.
The Rebirth 3 patch has been ported back to the Playstation Vita. I don't know how well it runs, but I've seen the screenshots of it working on actual hardware so its true. It's damn true.
I think this is one of the first mods of it's kind for Vita, with both custom text content and brand new graphical content. So this is very interesting indeed.
Word on the street is that a similar release for Rebirth 2 is imminent. So very soon, our Vita brothers will be at parity with their PC brethren.
There's more on the way, but this is interesting enough to mention right away. In the meantime, keep watching this space…

Unfortunately, you're not missing anything by not playing Rebirth 3 though, Rebirth 1 is pretty much the best game in the entire franchise and it doesn't need a retranslation, Rebirth 2 is only worth it if you like cunny and think that piracy is a necessary evil.
