Why does your post upset them so much...?

>>51271663
Because, most of regulars of VNTS's thread don't want to read about AI slop. Also, kill yourself, AI shill.

>>51271677
Then filter it, dumbass

Is it too much to ask for a bit of nuance? While three to four fags have ruined /vn/ now and turned it into /mtl/ general, VNTS edMTL only lists high-effort edited MTL projects where the vast majority of work is manual proofreading and editing just like with traditional translation, the only difference being that a pretranslation stage is performed using LLMs. It's no different from what official translations have been doing for years now, and it's the best translation older works will ever get. Notably, the list doesn't include those gross bulk automatic MTLs by certain people with mental issues who don't actually read VNs.

>>51271679
Then don't post it in the first place, retard.

>>51271708
>It's no different from what official translations have been doing for years now
No, they haven't. That's a retarded gambs sponsored conspiracy theory.

No need for "nuance". Make this the thread for human translations, like it always has been, and send all the AI shills, to their own thread.

Yeah it's quite good. That guy put waaay more work into his patch than most MTLers right now. Goes to show the autism Muv Luv fans have.
https://files.catbox.moe/bfwxjh.mp4
There's some voiced dialogue at the end here without on-screen subtitles, but if you bring up the backlog you can see a translation for the lines. That's probably the biggest problem.
It's a pretty strong tour de force of just how good modern MTL is really. I'd like to see someone try to muster a serious critique of its translation.

>>51273621
Stop shilling AI slop in this thread. Fuck off to your own thread, you retarded rat.

>>51273621
The actual ridiculous part is how many translations are coming out. I'm tracking them, and all it took was me not paying attention for a day and I almost missed this one.

>>51273779
Serious question: Are you a translator or alternatively someone who works for a localization company? Because otherwise your like obsessive crusade against MTL here makes absolutely no sense.
In general people are motivated by what benefits them. And MTL being human-level is something that is VERY beneficial to almost everyone. The average person, upon being told that LLMs now translate better than most humans, will be highly motivated to confirm this and celebrate that shit is now balling for them. It is hugely beneficial to basically everyone that every game is going to instantly get high-quality translations now.
The only people NOT benefiting are human translators and those working for publisher companies. That's the only type of person I could imagine coping this hard about reality and making it like their mission to lurk this thread 24/7 just to rant about MTL whenever they see it. What normal person is told "Hey you can play all of your hyped JP vinnies with good translation quality basically instantly now" and starts spazzing out about how that's cope and anyone saying so is a retarded rat? Obviously that's not what a normal person does. That's what someone with their career on the line does.
Why are you trying to lie to people and convince them to work against themselves? Are you trying to take their money? I posted 3 images of a pretty good translation plus a video demonstration the title + image translations in addition to a chunk of the well-translated intro. What are you posting to argue against it? If MTL is indeed so bad, and the translation is so slop, how about you post a critique of its accuracy or some grammar mistakes or whatever else? Why not attack the actual translation instead with a real analysis? I mean if it's so bad it should be easy. Why do you instead just opt to try to shut down any conversation on it, like you're terrified of people talking about it and finding out the truth? It's very uncanny, as if your livelihood depends on people not noticing this.

>>51273621
It actually took a long time for codex to get a translation working for the 12 minute audio only recap montage in the intro, so for tiny little background screams like this I didn't think they were super necessary to have TL'd. The game had no scenario files for audio only shit like that, it was a problem for the original ML alternative translation as well during audio only speech scenes they just have a text file for you to read since they couldn't fully figure out the engine. Just rugp engine things.

>>51273824
Yeah realistically it's not something many fan translations would handle either, and it's super minor, so it's hardly even like a "MTL problem" so to speak. I only mentioned it to demonstrate my good-faith. I noticed later the backlog also doesn't have wordwrap sometimes, but that's also pretty minor.

I actually just kept reading after initially downloading it because it read so well and the start of the game is so good. Very fine work. Schwarzemarken is a real kamige and it's good Westerners can finally experience it. I didn't actually realize until now just how good of a VN it really is, crazy they were doing this in 2015.

>>51273834
Yeah, it's a great VN. The second game should hopefully have less little issues like that since AGES 7.0 seems easier to work with than rugp so far.

>>51273800
>Serious question: Are you a translator or alternatively someone who works for a localization company? Because otherwise your like obsessive crusade against MTL here makes absolutely no sense.
No, I am not. Most normal people don't want to read soulless slop. You just can't see it, because you are the one who has a lot on the line as an AI shill.

In truth, the real reason for why I keep posting about this, is because VNTS's threads always were about tracking human translations and their status, with discussion relating to it. It was NEVER about MTL. It was this way, until that "edited MTL" shilling cunt showed up a few weeks ago. I just want all the MTL discussion and shilling to go to its own thread, so we can keep having VNTS's threads as they always functioned.

>>51273865

>>51273800
While I appreciate the sentiment, you seem to be missing the point of translations included in the edMTL list: their value comes from human proofreading and ensuring that the intended meaning comes across.
I keep hearing praises about the advances in MTL but let me tell you as a practicioner this is just absolutely laughable and something coming only from people not actually reading shit.
In any narrative text, there simply is much more context than can be gleaned from local text places. Such as idk when you as a reader are supposed to share knowledge with a character that the protag doesn't have, enabling a delightful ambiguous dialog. Edited MTL makes an effort to preserve the twists, humoristic climaxes, mystery, literary/word puzzles, puns, citations, and countless other features of prose. You can talk about MTL mumbo jumbo all you want, in the end nobody wants to read what nobody bothered to write.

>>51274056
Actually it's just anime porn. You should check yourself

>>51273945
I don't visit these threads but it seems like AI roaches have taken it over. When did this happen?

>>51274072
More like luddites are whining

>>51274072
A few weeks ago, when that retard, first posted that "edited MTL" crap. Ever since, there had been more and more AI shills, coming to defend their AI slop. If they want to shill AI MTL on the board, let them only do it in a containment thread.

AI truly ruined 4chan. Ever since it was made, there had been entire threads and even boards, that had been shat all over, due to them. One of the main reasons for why /r/ was shut down, was not the deepfake laws being waved around, but the fact that that entire board devolved into a wasteland of making AI slop porn, out of random photos of onlyfans whores. It was downright unusable for its original purpose. Just look at its archives in the last few days of it. /h/ had been becoming worse and worse, as well, since the AI spammers, got to threads, like LGD. Honestly, if it was up to me, I would ban all AI from the site. /trash/ is the only board where it belongs.

>>51273928
>No, I am not
I don't believe you. Normal people are happy that MTL is good now, and certainly not hyper-aggressive about it. That's why so many MTL patches are coming out lately. The normal person's response is to start MTLing games they want to play while celebrating this new world we live in.
>is because VNTS's threads always were about tracking human translations and their status, with discussion relating to it. It was NEVER about MTL.
That's because MTL used to be bad. MTL is now better than humans. Don't you understand the fundamental difference here? The meaning to having a VNTS cleared of MTL was that there was no point listing bad patches not worth reading. But MTL is now significantly better than most of the patches included here. For example, it tracked the Aiyoku no Eustia patch despite it being made by people who don't know Japanese, and that piece of shit ended up with a 20% error rate containing grievous errors every 5th line or so. THAT is slop not worth reading. Whereas now MTL like Schwarzmarken is like 99% accurate if not more and reads fluently, an excellent patch. The logic in keeping MTL out of this threads is now reverse; you would now be excluding high-quality patches, to keep focusing on mostly low-quality slop, simply due to tradition. And, bizarrely, you would be getting aggressive and insulting towards people recommending the high-quality work. This can only mean one thing: a shill.
>>51274056
>their value comes from human proofreading and ensuring that the intended meaning comes across.
This is intuitive, but not true. 99% of the value from "edited MTL" in 2026 comes from the MTL itself being highly accurate and fluent on its own terms. The human editing barely adds anything; it makes sure there's no immediately broken aspect like wordwrap, but that's mostly it. MTL is now accurate enough tis DIFFICULT for humans to improve upon it on average. You have to be pretty skilled to do so. At most, a human proofreading pass may like fix 1 in 100 lines? 1 in 200, 300? That's nothing to sneeze at, but the bulk of the value comes from MTL naturally.
>In any narrative text, there simply is much more context than can be gleaned from local text places.
MTL is now intelligent enough to search the entire and pre-read entire scripts to preserve ambiguous dialogue and, by itself, preserves twists, humoristic climaxes, mystery, word puzzles, puns (if explicitly prompted to do so), citations, and so on.
You are mistaking how much impact human editing is having if you think all of those elements are coming from the humans reading it. They aren't. MTL can do almost all of that on its own now. The human is more like looking for random machine schizo moments like lines getting eaten. That's, indeed, just how insanely good MTL is nowadays, and why people getting aggressive over MTL and calling those recommending it "retarded rats" are blatant industry plants trying to save their hide.

>>51274056
>>51274252
And for the record, I do recommend continuing to only recommend human edited MTL for the sole reason that technical issues can be severe otherwise, but the actual translation barely needs a human touch anymore as unbelievable as that is. Professional translators all agree in private.

>>51274252
>I don't believe you. Normal people are happy that MTL is good now
That world in which you believe in, does not exist. I don't work in the industry, and never had, my Japanese is still mediocre, and yet I and many other people refuse to touch MTL slop. Just go on r/visualnovels. Every post relating to MTL is met with overwhelming hostility. You might say, that "those are just dumb reddit pleb". The thing is that your entire argument here hinges on the support from that "pleb". Which simply doesn't exist.
>MTL is now better than humans
It is not. No matter how hard you shill, and prophesy its greatness.
>simply due to tradition
And that tradition means a lot, to me and most other oldheads of those threads. If you want to enter your new delusional age of MTL utopia, go ahead, but do it in your own thread. Fuck off from the VNTS thread.
>recommending the high-quality work
I lol'ed.

>>51274284
>reddit
I won't say those are "dumb reddit plebs," but I will say reddit is fundamentally terminally online people who indeed use a site where the dumbest most populist opinions get upvoted. Also to my knowledge most of the MTL posts there are from MAO who are overtly combative and get a negative response in turn, chill MTL patches from random people don't get particularly much hate.
>It is not. No matter how hard you shill, and prophesy its greatness.
You are simply wrong and you can check. Have you checked? There's no prophecy here, or shilling, it's just factually that good now. You can check with any game of your choice, just throw its script into Sol or preferably Astra and see its output. Maybe if we lived in a world of hyper-competent human translators with perfect Japanese and amazing prose it wouldn't be, but as it stands the bulk of translators, especially VN fan translators, suck at both languages they're working with and put out very low quality work. It makes no sense to blindly defend low-quality amateurs putting out bad work while aggressively attacking machines that put out better, more accurate, more fluent translations.
>And that tradition means a lot, to me and most other oldheads of those threads.
Trying to disguise shill behave behind oldhead-ness won't work. I guess it was a mistake for me to use the word "tradition" because you can try to associate it with noble behavior. Obviously your motivating factor is not just "tradition" because you are blindly attacking MTL in general as a concept and denying its quality, instead of just saying it doesn't belong here by tradition. If you kept it to just saying you don't want MTL here because it's not traditional, that's one thing, but you won't stop coping about it "actually being bad" and all the praise being cope.
>>51274331
You're right that the words of ecelebs doesn't count on its own. But what does count is the mountain of fucking evidence.
500 lines from Lupercalia comparison - https://files.catbox.moe/kyepgb.xlsx
500 lines from Aiyoku comparison - https://files.catbox.moe/q6v4st.xlsx
500 lines from from Asairo comparison - https://files.catbox.moe/muhggn.xlsx
And, as shitty as they are, Mao has thousands of comparisons too https://mao-tls.github.io/white-album-2/script/?route=intro&script=1001&compare=todokanai
I can also generate infinitely more evidence as needed.

On top of all that, like I said. I posted a clip of the start of Schwarz >>51273621 alongside three screenshots.
There is a mountain of evidence proving modern post-Sol MTL is insanely good and consistently outperforms, at the very least, fan translators. You don't have to "trust" anyone. The evidence is right there.
Meanwhile, what concrete rebuttal are you providing? You didn't provide any critique of the Schwarz translation. You haven't actually critiqued anything specific at all, you just blindly call it slop and bad. If it was so slop, again, it should be easy to critique, but you seemingly can't do it. That's what settles this argument. MTL has a fucking mountain of evidence. You have jack shit. And you call anyone disagreeing with you a rat to hide the fact you have skin in this game and don't want people MTLing games because it's bad for you.

really aint that hard to just scroll past posts you don't like instead of having a meltie

>>51274352
Not the guy you're responding to and I only looked at lupercalia, but I have to admit the Sol TL reads much better. Especially the hamlet scene in the middle of the comparison.

>>51274397
Yeah, after all the Lupercalia guy MTL'd it since the fan TL was so low quality it initially made him drop the game, but he still really wanted to play it. Quite a few MTL coming out are just by people annoyed at shitty fan TLs they had to deal with and wanting to experience the game properly.

Top professionals working hard will still beat out MTL but it's not even a contest when the average fanTL quality is so low and marred by comprehension issues to begin with. People really don't realize just how far MTL has come with the latest LLM models. My indignation here is mainly that VNTS would follow and religiously provide updates on god-awful fan projects simply for being human, yet when objectively superior MTL patches come out suddenly everyone is shouting about slop. The disconnect here just makes no sense. It's like actual slop-eaters suddenly throwing a fit at a proper meal because they've never seen one before and don't care to lift their head out of the trough.

>>51274417
What game is the example in the image?

>>51274421

I was MTLing it because it's Chinese and the only existing TL is that shitty MTL.

>>51274422
Are you planning on releasing a new MTL patch?

>>51274531
Yeah. Although the phrasing "releasing a new patch" maybe gives it more fanfare than it deserves considering a machine does 99% of the work. I'll play through it but it's not like I know Chinese. (I did have a Chinese friend confirm the accuracy of the opening though, not that I really doubted it at this point).

It's an RPG maker game and not really VN related though. I just posted that image because I was testing Xiyan earlier and it felt like a pretty stark example of how much better 2026 MTL is than earlier MTL. I have to imagine people shitting on MTL in this thread and elsewhere have the left image in mind without realizing that as of July 2026 MTL actually looks like the right image.

>>51274538

>>51274575

Your entire argument hinges on the populist support of MTL, though, retard. You may prophesy MTL's greatness all you want, but it doesn't change the fact, that besides AI bros and shills like you, the majority of people are hostile towards the idea of AI replacing anything. The idea of AI replacing anything is very unpopular, outside of the tech bro bubble.
>instead of just saying it doesn't belong here by tradition.
If this is the idea in which you believe in, then so be it. Either way, MTL should strictly be posted in its own thread. This is thread is for human translations ONLY, because "we are dumb non-enlightened oldheads", as you see it. Again, if you have such a problem with people being against MTL posting in the VNTS's threads, MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD. There you can prophesy about MTL's greatness all to your heart's content. Stop raiding our thread with your AI bullshit.
>But what does count is the mountain of fucking evidence.
This is just a dry comparison with no explanation for why the MTL is superior. In fact, the MTL text often reads pretty badly and stiffly.
>I can also generate infinitely more evidence as needed.
I don't want any more "evidence" in this thread. Save it for your own thread. The problem is that you are spamming VNTS's thread with this bs to begin with.
>to hide the fact you have skin in this game and don't want people MTLing games because it's bad for you.

I thought evidence had shut you up, but I guess you're a sore loser.
In your reply, you have yet to provide any meaningful rebuttal, and you outright say you do not want more "evidence." You are clearly afraid and want people to shut up instead of talking about the obvious truth.
Just vaguely saying "the MTL often reads badly and stiffly" is not a rebuttal. Putting aside that human translations often read badly and stiffly, including a fuckload of lines in the comparisons I included, the MTL still overall reads very fluently. You are just making stuff up - you probably did not actually closely look at the evidence, or maybe you didn't look at all, and you're just imagining what would be there. Let's see an actual compilation of awful MTL lines (from Sol/Astra) next to fan translators doing better instead of this vague posting garbage. I post literally, cumulatively, thousands of lines of evidences, videos from games, screenshots, etc. You post a single unsubstantiated sentence. The cope and delusion here is just unreal.
>>51275758
We can respect fan translators for supporting the VN scene while also acknowledging their work is fairly low-quality overall (some obvious exceptions like the excellent Grisaia patch). By and large fan translators are amateurs with little language knowledge, we know this, every fan knows this, it's just common sense. For instance, something I keep bringing up is the horrible Aiyoku no Eustia fan translation. It was done by someone who barely knows Japanese and made a grievous error every fifth line. Literally 20% of the entire work consists of translation errors. The work done on that translation is almost downright offensive to the game itself and is a slap to the face of the entire community subjected towards reading it. But just because it's a human translation, it gets to be followed by VNTS and worshipped by people like you, while an MTL which is objectively better and actually does the game justice gets called slop for being MTL. That simply does not make sense.

All in all, the anti-MTL sentiment is so genuinely delusional and lacks so little evidence in its favor that I maintain anyone expressing it is an industry plant and shill. The only people who would look at high-quality MTL at their fingertips and try to convince everyone it's slop not worth playing are those with skin in the game. Publishers who want money from people and desperately, fucking desperately don't want who they view to be sheep to realize they don't need to wait 10 years for middling products anymore.

Like come the fuck on. Human fan translation in the middle, raw Sol output on the right.

The human translation
1) Makes mistakes on literally every line
2) Is completely nonsensical ("I wonder how abnormal is the diagram that makes this practical"?!?!"
3) Reads like shit

The MTL
1) Does not make mistakes
2) Makes sense as a result
3) Reads fluently

That's just all there is to this. Even raw MTL output generated in seconds is, at the worst, comparable to output that takes humans years to slowly throw together. But at best it completely fucking stomps the language amateurs that try to get into translation despite starting language learning a year or two ago at best. You have to be a damn good professional with like a decade of experience to even come close to matching MTL accuracy nowadays. That's just how it is.
>>51275840
>I just use AI to my advantage, as any rational human being would.
Exactly. Every rational human being just sees MTL is good and subsequently translates or plays their favorite game. That's all there has to be to it. The only ones spazzing the fuck out and trying to prevent any discussion of MTL at all while denying its quality are industry plants who are working to their own advantage by trying to keep people paying for their shit. No rational human wants to deny themselves infinite, instant quality translations of whatever they want. Unless they make money off people not having infinite, instant quality translations.

What I don't get is this bizarre refusal to even allow discussions at all. It, indeed, is not hard to just scroll past MTL releases or discussion if you don't like them. The obsession with refusal to allow anyone to discuss MTL at all and try to keep the residents of a thread ignorant of it is what really elevates this to shill behavior. Normal people just ignore what they don't like. Insane industry plants try to prevent "sheeple" from learning the truth at all by controlling discussion.

The VNDB admin is dead. Don't take them not changing how they handle MTL as some kind of statement on it. Although yorhel would probably still be against changing anything, you can't really say it for sure. Not that it even matters that much but I think eventually he would have to succumb to pressure and at least let people search for MTL releases. But he's dead now so it's possible that nothing is gonna change for a long time - mostly because his sister doesn't know jack about visual novels and she has probably has the final word on everything.

You guys do realize you likely only have a finite window were MTL of Visual Novels is affordable, right? The pursuit of AI is a giant money pit, do you really think they won't eventually price gouge the end user to make up the difference? Enshittification is inevitable. Sure, the models might get better, but the everyday man is unlikely to have unlimited access forever.

>>51276148
AI would have to get 1,000x more expensive to cost more than hiring a human to translate, and even then humans would be hundreds of times slower.

I think it is possible that AI will jack up its costs, but we can look at the technology and see that old models consistently grow less expensive, and newer models can accomplish better results than older models for cheaper. So while nobody can predict the future, for MTLing to become totally inacessible:
1) it would have to get over 1,000x more expensive
2) technology would have to completely stop advancing
3) the law of accelerating returns would need to be falsified for the first time
3.5) aka Moore's fucking law would have to become untrue for the first time

All in all, I wouldn't bet against AI, but I would definitely encourage prudence; getting a MTL out for your favorite kamigem now is not a bad idea at all.

>>51276192
>Why then even post updates for it anymore? What's the point?
For now, there are two limiting factors
1) Most people don't know that modern LLMs (since July 2026th) are equal to or better than human translators. This is VERY new, so there are VERY few people using it.
(I was actually just talking to a long-term associate of mine who MTLs Chinese web novels day in and day out; I asked what model he was using, and he said Google Translate. Then was confused when I started talking about GPT since he couldn't find a browser plugin for auto translating web pages with it.)
2) Right now, there is a time lag; if you don't want to pay for credits directly, then OpenAI currently limits your usage by the week. It may take GPT 24 hours to finish translating a VN, then you're out of usage for a week. So 1 person can only TL like 1 VN per week or so on a base plan. There's more nuance to this, but this isn't LLM model general after all so I'll leave it at that.

So basically it takes an individual a week or so to MTL a VN, and right now there are not many individuals translating with MTL. So the trickle is slow. Especially with utter retards like some of the fine residents of this thread shouting nonsense and trying to quash discussion of it. However, I estimate in 1-2 years that both of these problems will be a thing of the past; almost everyone will know LLMs are insane at translation, and the time it takes to translate will go down as well. (E.g. just today Sol just got 2x as fast so maybe that one week figure is now 3.5 days).

And indeed once we have hundreds to thousands of people MTLing instead of just a dozen, then there will soon no longer be a point to VNTS. Outside of throwing a bones to humans. Every VN will have a high quality MTL within a week of launch, and all old VNs will be MTL'd for the heck of it by anyone who cares.

you lol'd because you are a low iq luddite who never modded a game yourself. now that MTL is pretty much instant/free, 90% of the time goes into editing the game/engine/assets and proofread, and it's a LOT of work if you don't wanna half-ass it (hence: passion)

I know that many people like Sora the most in nine, and I like her too, but Noa is such an amazing chuuni. Need more chuuni girls in my VNs, desu.

I agree with this and I think it's gonna be the future. The idea of unedited MTL being good is still gonna be far away. Mostly because I don't think Sol/Astra level models are gonna be available for free for a while if ever, so there's always gonna be a relatively smaller pool of people translating, although it will still be much faster than before AI existed.
For that reason and also because of what you mentioned, because it's not le 5 minutes in Astra meme and you still need to do some work to make something that would be considered good. Maybe AI will get even better but I have doubts

And while this does sound like "prophecy," understand LLM advancements are rocking the entire world. There was a study that showed Astra was in a position to replace 20% of all online jobs. They are killing coders, they are killing mathematicians, they all killing financers, and more. If you are in a NEET bubble where you just play vinnies all day it sounds like out of nowhere people are swearing up and down that AI is magically good, but outside of this bubble everyone in every industry is talking about AI and being shaped by it. This is, broadly, a technology as world and culture shaping as the internet. That vinnies can now be MTL'd with high quality near instantly is just a side consequence to the world shifting.

google "law of accelerating returns" and you'll understand how low iq your current stance is

It's funny, the other retard is against AI, but you're retarded the other way where you think it's the next coming of Jesus.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. The idea that AI will continue to become better and better with no ceiling until it's literally God is not gonna happen. And people having access to these powerful models forever and cheaply is also in question. Furthermore, there are no "accelerating returns". It's just AI. That's the tech. And it's very possible that we've just about hit the ceiling on it. If we did already hit the ceiling on it, that's plenty good enough for 90% of visual novels, but making patches for 90% of visual novels is another thing entirely. There are thousands of them. Finally, there's also the censorship aspect. Right now, the powerful don't like loli at all. So that already owns your retarded "translation is over!!!" meme that you keep spamming

Ayane is justice.

that's not what i said. what i said was:
>Argument to moderation (Latin: argumentum ad temperantiam)—also known as the false compromise, argument from middle ground, fallacy of gray, middle ground fallacy, or golden mean fallacy[1]—is the fallacy of assuming that the truth or best solution always lies in the middle of two opposing positions.[2]
