The future of fan translations is AI.
>>748891510Current frontier models are better than 99% of translators, you have to be insanely picky to actually find any mistakes.If there's one thing AI is good at it's translation.
>>748891510and that is only because it's been hijacked by activists that produce trash in the first place
>>748891862AI can translate individual words but gets the spirit of the translation wrong. All languages have specific contexts and wordplays that create beautiful, funny, or thought provoking effects beyond their facts and when you translate it to another language you can easily lose that by not keeping those things in mind.
Official translators are already using AI. Learn the language.
How does this board not have a marketing as a report option?

>>748892128that's one of the reasons mods/jannies ignore. half the listed reasons in the report screen are a smokescreen
>>748892012Mao has shown us that agentic translations can do all of that better than humans have. The issue with humans doing it is that they will use their biases to pull dumb shit like translating "tsundere" as "fragile male ego" and excusing it as 'specific contexts and wordplays'.
>>748892012>no, I don't want to learn about the intricacies of the word plays from another language while still being able to read it in my own language>I want it to be sloppified into an universal context that will appeal to all cultures at once, yet have the soul of no one behind it
>>748892253I choose OP's death
>>748892012>please let me keep my translation butchering jobActual translators will be fine since it only weeds out the bottom of the barrel localizers
>>748892012>gets the spirit of the translation wrongLocalizers already do this, except intentionally, and politically brainrotted.>All languages have specific contexts and wordplays that create beautiful, funny, or thought provoking effects beyond their factsAnd you'll almost never get that once you've translated it from the original language, so it's a moot point.
>>748892404Does he still make these?
>>748891510Good. I wish a cruel and slow death upon all localisationfaggots.
>>748892012This is very old dogma. large context is THE big feature of LLMs over traditional translation engines. You're not going to get creative prose, but you'd have to feed it something very esoteric for it not to be consistent and legible.
>>748892404Sure, why not.
>>748892404Alright, rolling
>>748892012>AI can translate individual words but gets the spirit of the translation wrong.It is exactly the opposite and you are an ignoramus that doesn't use models. I use models and one of the most incredible things about them is how they do have superhuman pattern matching abilities. The exact thing you are describing is what AI will get more often than a translator will. They suck at being creative but when they are exposed to what was already created they will make sense out of it much better than a human does because that is how they were trained.
>>748892012>but gets the spirit of the translation wrong.Translators also do that, so I don't see the problem here.

>>748892012You're retarded. You're talking about machine translations not AI translations. There is no world where a modern AI "misses the spirit" of translating text. Especially with 1 million context.

>>748893201weebs are literalist shut ins who hate having to infer text, it's not a coincidence that they like ai translations
>>748893201Jesus these localizers are insufferable even outside of their butchering work
>>748893510
>>748893510Every time I see posts like this it makes me think they're false flags from AIbros to make localizers look bad, there's no way you're this retarded and tone deaf and think this is going to get people on your side and not just want them to see you replaced by AI as soon as possible.
>>748892210If localisation is important because of literature you should probably not hire people who are bad at writing and would never be able to get a book of their own published. None of the shit we see in games, anime, and manga would pass for book translations, in fact the very behaviour we see today was decried in literature translations decades ago for butchering literature works out of a lack of respect, a desire to replace it with one's own work, or to appeal to the lowest common denominator (which it often failed at). Absolutely fucking baffling post coming from someone who claims to read, even the dead liberal faggot who worked on one of the best translations of the count of monte cristo shat on people like you.
>>748892012It's funny how this kind of flowery thought provoking critique concerned about the intricacies of the japanese language is exclusively reserved for AI translations and not the politically motivated, spiteful, and arrogant localizers at xseed, marvelous, treehouse, NISA, Shiravune, crunchyroll and so many other studios that butcher the language far worse than AI ever could for no fucking reason and have the gall to brag about it too
>>748892210So important that instead of buying books localized to my language I started buying books in original.Nice self own, faggot retard.

>>748893474I really think the point is not making a specific gacha seem like a good game. The marketing in general is about only 2 things:1. making a person more likely to try out a gacha. it is always good to attract new people into psychological warfare maze that is any gacha2. normalize spending. you keep reading threads with people just saying "I pulled x" like it is nothing. When in reality if you were to sit down and fire up a gacha and thought about paying money for a chance to win a jpg you would just uninstall this dogshit app instantly.

>>748892404hehe
>>748892404rawrollin
The problem of translators maliciously mistranslating jp text in particular is a very old, long standing problem with decades of very visible examples, no doubt AI translations will come with their own problems but these retards have no one to blame but themselves that so many people will cheer at the thought of a robot replacing them.
>>748891510AI is better than localizers, and I say this as someone who hates AI

>>748892938I don't think there's any issue. That tranny wasn't making any progress and clearly abandoned the project, so the guy was in the right to finish it. If he cares about it that much, he can take this to court.

translations are overrated in visual media anywayi played some weird ass game with google translate translation from russian to english, which was barely comprehensible half the time, but the visuals and what's happening let you infer and understand from context anywayllm is so far beyond the baseline needed for enjoyment that translators dont really matter, unless youre super autistic about 1:1 accuracy (but good luck with the translators being neutral lol)

>>748891862>frontierShill.
>>748891862Motherfucker, you DO have to be picky to find mistakes. That's part of the entire job of making a good translation.
Why is there an uptick in AI shilling these past few days?
>>748893685thats a great image. shows that we are winning.keep up the pressure.
if you want to cause some mad butthurt, go and find some incomplete translations stuck in limbo and just publish machine translation patch. It's like a nuke for trannies.
Is there something like mangaupdates for game translations? It may have not been needed before, but it definitely needs to exist now with all of those low effort translations coming outSomething like that for recomps would be great too
>try to translate a H-game that hasn't been translated yet >bot refuses to do the whole thing useless fucking AI, I just want my porn translated

>>748894019I recognize that writing style.
>>748896513It's always nice to light a fire under their ass and see whatever they were hiding. Fate/HA is the biggest case I can think of for VN's.
>>748892210>Claims to read books>Defends localization anywayWay to expose yourself as a fraud.Localization is a disgusting butchering of art, no matter the art form. It takes a work that comes from a specific culture and dumbing it down to foreigners who are incapable of realizing the world is larger than what little they know, when one of the great things about being able to interact with content of different cultures is precisely the fact that it allowed you to gaze upon said culture.Book translation for the most part understand this, it's only for other mediums considered lesser that anyone even tries to defend this shit.

>>748897256Feel free to leave
>>748897332>>748897194Here's a slop bot response given that's what you loveThe correct formal phrase is "might have gone", while "might've went" is a non-standard or colloquial form heard in some spoken dialects.Grammar Rules• Standard English: After auxiliary or modal verbs like have, has, had, or might have, you must use the past participle of a verb (gone), not the simple past tense (went).• Correct Form: "He might have gone to the store." or the contracted speech form "He might've gone to the store".• Dialect Usage: Phrases like might've went or should've went appear naturally in certain regional dialects and informal speech, but teachers and editors consider them grammatically incorrect in standard writing.

>>748892012This is the kind of thing an EOL would say the moment he gets exposed to another language.
Funnily enough I decided today at work to use AI to translate an old GBA game I really wanted to play in english and though it took a while I got the first stage playable in english now. I think I'll keep working on it and release the complete thing in the future but it's surprisingly more work than I thought since I had to correct a lot of issues like text alignments, doublechecking the translations, ensuring that the text input system works and fixing the fonts and etc. Either way I'm having fun and I'm glad AI exists for me to do this because I wouldnt be spending years working on a fan translation otherwise since I'm so busy.
>>748891510Wonder how translators are going to fight this because they can't use the excuse that the translations are wrong since we see what they do already.
>>748897440>there are other ignorant retards who don't know basic English tenses, so it's fine, leave the hecking troonslators aloneMy bad, I shouldn't have expected any level of professionalism from an ESL tranny.
>>748896436Remember when this board had a 24/7 DALL-E general that mods protected and deleted any criticism of, even though actual video games would get deleted and told to go to /vg/ if you made more than one thread a month? It's almost certain that was Microsoft paying to shill AI, and when that general abruptly started getting deleted on sight it's almost certain that's when Microsoft stopped payingWe have a new wave of LLMs and the entire industry is in a precarious state, where the biggest players in the anglosphere can't find a path to profitability and Chinese models with open weights (meaning anyone with the hardware can run them; it's far too much for even a strong personal computer to run but it allows multiple service providers to compete with each other and drive down prices) are catching up and have a far better performance-to-cost ratio, even if they aren't as powerful as the top American models.There's a ticking clock before the bubble bursts (in the same way the dotcom bubble burst where 90% of the people in the field went bust, not that LLMs itself will ever go away now), and they want to try and bring as many people into their systems while they can, so they very well might be paying shills to flood the board for that purpose. It's worked for a lot of other things
>>748897717Thanks for your interesting take my fellow schizoid

>>748897971Everyone has to use standard english at all times. That's his problem.
they speak fluent japanese and you don't. it ultimately boils down to that. the based weebs who did fansub during the 90's and 2000's grew up, found employment, and left the scene. now we are left with the rejects who never left.
A low effort AI slop doesn't stop anyone from releasing a high-quality human translation later if their work is actually superior and they're even capable of finishing a project in the first place. These translator faggots have zero right to talk down to AI or gatekeep progress when their own projects are notoriously slow and constantly abandoned halfway through. Nobody wants to wait another decade for a patch that might never come out when AI tools can get the job done right now even if it isn't perfect.
>>748898586They can make a hundred alt accounts and talk like a hivemind. Think about it. This is someone's livelihood. Even when it comes to manga, they fight very hard to get sites to ban MTL. Because they know they have a captive audience as long as AI isn't doing the work for free.
>>748897675This is why Horii called English a shit language to translate because everyone gets their panties in a twist when someone deviates a little bit via dialect. Never mind the fact you can tell an entire character's personality/archetype with simple pronoun choice in Japan (Watashi, Atashi, Boku, etc) but in English, everyone wants everyone to use the same standardized vernacular.I am not saying that modern DQ or NISA shit is good or necessary. But there is some degree of nuance without resorting to making shit up.

>>748891510Has been for awhile. I've been using AI to translate 5 series from raws and then fix anything that sounds out of place and it's indistinguishable from the official releases. Im not paying them to change things for western sensibilities.
>>748891862>you have to be insanely picky to actually find any mistakesThe problem with modern human translators never was the amount of error they do.It was always their incapacity to not fucking rewrite half the script over their political fixation of the moment.AI could do a fuckton of obvious mistakes and it would still be a decent consideration, just because of that. AI being actually decent at the task is just making it a no-brainer.

I don't give a shit about AI itself, but LBP already translated multiples Tales games in a short amount of time, so taking their current project they were actively working on is just bad etiquette. This guy could've simply translated a different Tales game instead, there are multiples still untranslated.

>ai doesn't get the meaning Niggersaurus, what? For Certain sentences, Claude Opus thinks for like one minute about one sentence and takes the entire story into context, what came before and after that sentence, what would be the best word, what the kanji was, what the most likely translation for that would be. The English translator makes out of this serious sentence a joke, inserting something that literally wasn't in the original place at all. For example Hundred Day Academy literally has them writing something like>Japanese: I know, I know. Let me explain it to you.To>English: let me explain it to you, Clarissa.The Clarissa in question was literally about some old-ass UK television show from 20 years ago or something like that. The reason why they could do this was because this was for a non-voiced text aspect. Nobody was named Clarissa. Yeah, this is apparently totally why we need trannylators. I can just feel that ai wouldnt have gotten that lol.

IMO I think shitting out ai mtl fan translations is going to kill the translation scene. Nobodys going to want to do fan translations anymore because there will come a point to where any authentic TL is automatically accused to being aislop and ignored or ridiculed. Which will kill motivation to do Fan TLs for anything and will eventually kill the scene outright.

>>748904589High IQ actually. We should hang ai users from the gallows and burn down those god-awful data centers. Because AI is going to kill every technological industry out there and force us humans into idiocracy if we don’t.
>>748891862This is partially true, but it has massive caveats: It wasn't true until very recently. Most "translators" were already secretly abusing MTL or doing dictionary hunt-and-peck so the pool is diluted. Most profressional translation is compensated very very poorly and it filters out most of the competent people, who will choose to do it for the love of the game instead; in some cases they will do it out of an agenda. The sum total of this is that most translators were really shit to begin with.Otherwise, yes, it's true now. You won't hear them admit it themselves despite not being able to find work anymore because they are very prone to circling the wagons.
>>748891862the two things slop ai is actually good for are job a CEO would do and translation, with the latter being easily able to change the type of translation you want. I even saw an AI explain a joke that only works in japanese and ways to translate the essence of the joke still into english.But of course these are two positions that have been takin over by mafia-type groups that will never give them out in their lifetimes.The one place AI could be useful and the fuckers that forced this shit on us refuse to

>>748904849The latter, Halo Reach was the first game in the series that actually showed your reticule expanding and shrinking as you fired or stopped firing your gun to indicate that the firing cone where your shots would land was likewise growing or shrinking.Now, if it was just the series showing bloom for the first time, it wouldn't have been as controversial, but the actual way the mechanic worked also changed/got fleshed out for most weapons (I forget the nuances and specifics of this, but I think in prior Halo games it was more of a binary state thing, whereas in Reach onwards, there was more a min and max cap on spread/bloom and as you fired it gradually got bigger), plus precision weapons in past titles generally had very little RNG spread/bloom on them, wheras the main precision rifle in Reach, the DMR, had a lot of bloom when fired more then a few timesAlongside Sprint, Armor Lock, and a few other things, it was one of Reach's most controversial elements

“Horii seems to consider the shortcomings of Japanese-to-English localizations a result of inherent differences between the two languages, commenting, “I’ve come to accept that English is a simple language, so there’s no helping it.” On the other hand, he feels that this issue has been somewhat improved with the introduction of voice acting in games, given that voiced lines create extra room to convey a character’s traits through tone and delivery.”Learn Japanese instead of relying on AI or fan tls.

>>748906489people who rely on this to pay bills will lose their minds. AI is taking a fatty shit on /g/ and /sci/. They can't seem to shut the fuck up about it because it's threatening the value of their degrees and experience.
>>748905773i know they've been continuing to touch it up and they're still working on the PSP version which frankly is a better statement of quality compared to just throwing it out and then bitching about death threats the rest of the timeas for the overall translation quality, i can't say much since i've still got to get through destiny DC before i want to play it, but like i said they've been touching it up with suggestions so the occasional fuckup with the translation tends to get fixed
>>748906489The problem is that AI translation isn't quite there yet so flooding the internet with them is a headache. It has been getting a lot better as the years go on however.The paid advertising Indians will say otherwise in this thread but if you've played ai translated games or read ai translated novels/doujin then this will be obvious to you.

>>748892012>spirit of the translationShove it up your ass. I'd rather have no "spirit" than your dogshit propaganda.
>>748903737They must have an interesting definition of 'advanced economy'
>>748906179>than we havebecause everytime a group starts up trannies take it over. No joke. These fuckers corrupt and destroy every group
>>748895260>two assassins bonding over their job>apparently problematic enough to fucking nuke it
>>748906849How are you going to know if the AI made any mistakes if you don't know japanese and arent familiar with the source material?
>>748906489Reminds me how patches for games would often get instantly abandoned when a new update rolls out because of "private life"nowdays theres always an AI generated patch now when a new update rolls out that often works much better. I dont give a fuck if the patch "steals" code from original patches. I just wish they would stop using these shitty AI generated images
>>748906595>AI is taking a fatty shit on /g/Man that board became unuseable after the jeets invaded
>>748891510>>748891862reminder that real translators work in business or diplomacy.videogame "translators" took jp at their community college so they could watch anime (not the gross stuff tho ew you guys)
>>748907116Then do something to repel them like how chud devs should've added the +NIGGER license to their code if they didn't want troons forking it.
>>748907271Anon, that's what beta testers are for you're supposed to give them to people who know the game.
>>748905784I didn't make the image, I just saved it
>>748892012Unironically true. People let the examples of bad localization trick them into thinking all localization is bad.
>>748907382Im not in any of these groups. Blame them for having no backbone
>>748902251This reads like someone felt personally attacked by Hokuto no Ken.
>>748907403Lmao, you're highly unlikely to get anyone with real japanese knowledge in these groups.The bulk of them are working with the big translation teams or refuse to take part at all. All you're getting someone attempting to put lipstick on a pig.
