Just out of curiosity. The english patcher up there. It dumps a file with untranslated text, alot of it. I have a program going line by line and translating it into english right now, one I made my self.

Has this been done before? If not, why not? Is this going to cause issues? Are the reasons to not doing this? If there's not, should I release it and the program?

There is really a reason. If it was that easy, we would've just Google translated it and copied it all over. We're going for more professional translations. However, you can release yours and see what happens.

If your line parser can translate the text, to understandable english, by all means, share this with us.

this could be invaluable to this project.

The only reason why we haven't done that, is what was mentioned before, any translator used unless it knows the context and dialect, translations will be shoddy at best.

But go ahead, post what you've made.

and if it's an .exe, please provide a

virustotal.org scan as proof, people are fairly jumpy on this forum, well any forum really, when it comes to downloading .exe's.

Its a jar, but in that case I will add a gui, language to language selector and progress bar.

I feel as if badly translated text from a automated system is still better then none at all.

If I set the priorities to make it so the hand translated is given priority over the automated then the result should be a fairly decent system. When corrections are made by hand, push it over to the higher priority.

This also adds translations beyond english.

It will come in jar and EXE simply for cross compatibility. I will pack the final translations separately.

Virus scans will be included if they must.

The program is simple, line by line, translate uninterrupted blocks of Chinese chars. Yes not all Chinese chars are detected, but I can work on that, or someone else can, I will release the source as a donation to the community.

Oh and this is set to work with only the Hong Kong version, so it will need slightly recoded to work with the others.

oooo, it's java, that's some wonderful stuff,

the english translator we have is coded in VB++

I could of done this before, but alas, the translation was the only block.

I'd love for you to release this, java is powerful scripting language.

If you could, think you could keep it was using too much of the JVM? as a fellow user of Java, i know that java, unless told to, with use lot of memory through JVM.

sounds legit to me ..

Well I have it running and since the translation API I am using is the bottle neck in the program I do not see any massive amounts of usage. .3% of a 8 core 4ghz cpu and 560 mb or ram. Not to bad.

I have no idea why'd you post this and this alone, it doesn't really add anything to the thread.



Not many people here have, fairly good computer, octa-core 4ghz, it's some pretty beastly power, i have a hexcore myself, but i'd average that most people have a dual core or a quad core, nothing over 2.8GHZ

But it seems you've already made sure there isn't much usage for the jvm.
that's good.

But if you add, all the other features, it might start scaling for bad computers.
But i don't think it'll matter if you're just going to dump it all.


But when you're done, i'd love to see this.

Well I a working on the GUI right now. Shouldnt take to long, but I am running of a generator so I may have to go for the night, but regardless it will be posted by tommorow night.

Currently it will support translation to 64 different languages.

64 is pretty extreme for what we got now, what IDE are you using?

there is only currently

Japan
Korea
Hong Kong
Taiwan

those are the current servers running dbo.

the program might be amazing for other uses though.
