Translated version of Policenauts script

Post by ratperson665 »

As you all know I am going to make an atempt to translate the dialogue in Policenauts. Only problem is I don't know Japanese. Does anybody know of any web sites that have most or all of the script in English? Thanks.

Look here: viewtopic.php?t=6

The reason that the script hasn't been translated yet, as far as I can tell, is that there isn't a dump in Japanese even. While your enthusiasm is commendable, the task you are setting out to do is hardly possible at this point.

If there was a website with the script somewhere, the mood around here would reflect that!

Actually I found a walkthrough that translated most of the script. According to some people on this forum that walkthrough was written by you Osiris. All I can say is THANK YOU! You really have my project a hell of a lot easier!

If you are talking about the walkthrough that I think you are it is just a basic summary of the storyline. Also, keep in mind that you would have to dump the game text and replace it after it was translated, a feat that this site is, and has been working on for some time. In a Kojima game where detail is so important, it would be very hard to piece together the storyline with just a summary and without a somewhat strong background in Japanese.

It was a real step by step walkthrough. And I won’t need to do any text dumping because I'm only trying to translate the recorded dialogue.
It will be a mater of removing audio files, giving my files the same names as those files and insert them into the game.
