ReyVGM Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Could anyone translate exactly what these lines say? シナリオ終了ターン 第１部 総ターン数 On the script page it says "turns taken" and "total turns", but google translation has a bit more to say about that and I was wondering if someone could lay down the actual translation, if possible. Also: 個人戦績 計45名 戦死0名 Thanks in advance! Edited September 27, 2016 by ReyVGM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'd be genuinely surprised if it was anything other than a more long-winded/proper-sentency way of saying the exact same things as the provided translations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Well, that's exactly what I would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionordeQuester Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Could anyone translate exactly what these lines say? シナリオ終了ターン Well, the first one is easy. シナリオ is just them stealing the English word for "scenario". It's a Katakana word, which means it's a word that originated from another culture (they do this because English words look as fancy to them as the name "Mitsurugi" looks to us). 終了 is a noun that means "end", or "termination", and things of that source. And finally, タン is just them stealing the English word for "turn". So the first one would come up to something like "Turns Taken [at the] end [of the] 'scenario'" (it's possible that the word "scenario" here was localized as "Chapter" in the English releases). So the first one is "End Chapter Turn Count". Next... 第１部 総ターン数 I'm not entirely sure on the first symbol, but...I believe 第１means "premiere, number one, big cheese", things like that, while 部 is simply a counter that you attach when a number is meant to signify the quantity of something (Japanese don't have plural word forms, so they need to attach these counters whenever they count). 総 means "all", or "total", and other things of that nature, ターン数 is the English word for "turn" again, but with that "we're counting something" suffix attached to it again. So I believe this one would translate into something like "Grand Total of Turns Taken Overall" or something...so yeah, it's the kind of thing that would sound awkward as all get out when translated too literally. 戦死0名 戦死 means "killed in action", so this here's saying that nobody died. I don't know the other two phrases though. Edited September 28, 2016 by FionordeQuester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetragrammaton Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 シナリオ終了ターン = Scenario turn end 第１= the first or number 1; 第2 = the second or number 2 If this is FE3, 第１部 is more like book 1 総ターン数 = Total turn count 個人戦績 計45名 戦死0名 = You have 45 characters and no one dies.

Vaikanfu Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'd be genuinely surprised if it was anything other than a more long-winded/proper-sentency way of saying the exact same things as the provided translations. In both versions of the patch, it's weird glitchy text. I believe they did a mock up of what it would look like translated but it wasn't implemented into the patch yet. Kind of nice to see a more elaborate breakdown of what it is, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks everyone, but what about 個人戦績? That appears before the epilogues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Individual battle records? As in the records for each unit maybe? Context is a big thing for Japanese. Edited September 28, 2016 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Translation says " personal records". On top of the epilogues it shows the battle records for each character, so yes, that one is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Are you using Google translate or something similar and using our posts to confirm? I don't recommend that practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I meant the translation patch that says "personal records". Here's some of the stuff. Pretty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 ...as a translator, I'd actually change those in the patch to match what we have in FE today when they show total turn count. Literal translations are awkward. Like, look back at the first FE6 English patch support conversations type of awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've just started playing the FE series. Never played the original FE6 patch, but I do like translation consistency though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReyVGM Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I did this. I'm going to try to find someone to do a new text translation for it since the one on the patch (and on this site) has a bunch of mistakes and weird wording. I used the english font already included with the game (which is pretty much the same one used in Zelda LttP), and I don't know why wasn't this font used in the first place since it permits more dialogue per text box. I guess they had their good reasons. Edited September 28, 2016 by ReyVGM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReyVGM Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Can anyone check if the character titles during the epilogues are fine, or if they need a better translation? I know that "Julian’s Bro Ricard" it supposed to be "Julian’s Little Brother, Ricard". Are there any other truncated instances? *edit* Someone checked them already.

Topaz Light Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 There's no space between "heart," and "I" in Medeus' dialogue; might wanna fix that. Also, I'd make it just say "Chapter X" instead of "Chapter #X", since you generally don't say, say, "chapter number five"; just "chapter five".

It's fixed now. Thanks. About the # sign, I just wanted it to be closer to the Japanese version, but after doing it and looking it at it, it's too difficult to go back and modify everything now.

Is this going to extend into the perfect ending chronology from the end of FE3 if both books are completed with no casualties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yep, everything. It's going to have a new translation too. Hopefully VincentASM will feature it here once it's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyVGM Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Can anyone translate what this translates to, specifically? ぜんターンすう That should mean "total turns" or something like that, but why does it say "Zen"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
