There's also some ancient russian patch that was supposedly done years ago.

I say supposedly because nobody actually has it anymore, the only other person I know of that was even working on this was this guy from GBAtemp (after making a thread years ago and decided to just do it himself)

https://gbatemp.net/threads/chaindive-ps2-translation-patch.372603/#post-10786279

He also shouted out the project leader for this translation so there you go. Gally is a real person. Spammer bots lost. Cope and seethe.

Yes, AI translation is generally agreed upon to be better than human.

I just find it interesting how you're unwilling to prove that it's slop. I mean, I'm willing to be convinced if you've got examples of it failing.

How does it butcher everything? I've only seen the 壁に耳あり障子に目あり pun screenshot but in that case, it was an accurate translation.

The translator was posting about his work as far as a few weeks back and the game already supported english (planned for us release)

>>12875925
They only did that out of spite a human translator (Tom) was working on it, and the result was so shitty it defeated the purpose (even the 1996 ps1 localisation was better). There was also another spam "retranslations" of the phantasy star series where the slopper admits in the readme the english version is trash but then goes on to blame the japanese writers.
>>
>>12875903
>accurate translation
no, it's incomplete
and it adds bullshit made up by the AI to sound "logical" that don't make a lick of sense in context
>>
>>12875939
It's a complete english passage that's also a full load of nonsense compared to the original Japanese text.

When people criticise Persona 1 US or Persona 2 PSP they cite things like Maya's poem reference to some French book using the JP quote from the book instead of the original FR quote and the US translators thus missing out (due to their limited culture) that Maya is speaking about herself, not in third person, because the French poem is gendered and about a girl. Or "Mark danced like crazy" which is correct but funny. Or the Snow Queen quest which is fully translated on PSP.

Those "imperfect" localizations still got most of this research and characterization right. Your AI slop "retranslation" which is supposedly "fixing" problems in 1996/2007 localizations (maybe time-traveling trannies are involved you'd say?) doesn't even clear that basic bar of quality and doesn't allow the player to keep up with the story. It's more of the same as other AI slop translations for the like of Gunparade March that has won a sci-fi literature award normally only given for books because it's just that good, but the AI slop MTL makes an utter mess of that.

Of course the MTL slopper would say his translation is the best ever, we're very used to how arrogant translators and localizers can get. But it's rich he thinks he can hide behind AI as a reason why it's the best/why it's shit.

It's a perfectly accurate translation. What the hell are you talking about? lol

It wasn't incomplete. That's what she said.

are we being deadass here? as long as it's faithful to the original creator no one gives a fuck. it's as important as ai coding video games

You are foolish. Not because any of what you said is incorrect, but because you actually spent the time writing two paragraphs in response to obvious bait. The way I see it, either the person you are replying to is trolling (most likely), or they are genuinely so stupid that all of what you wrote isn't obvious to them, in which case they have no chance of comprehending your paragraphs anyway. Either way, trying to explain anything to them is pointless. Next time, just call them a retard and move on. Or, better yet, don't reply at all.

My friend, I actually went back to compare the Japanese passage, just in the off-chance there was something missed in the quote, but no, it was a 1-1 translation of the text.
Can you at least point to the part that was mistranslated?

Sorry niggers, I reject this false dichotomy. I'll take the troon over Claude any day. they can deny it as much as they want, but they still are made perfect in God's image and possess His divine spark like the rest of us.

>>12878501
This but the opposite. I'll take a skill machine over a sinner who offends our Lord with unfaithful translations.
