English translation help x.x

Hi, I’m Crimsondeath, the modder of Neon Lightning Force OpenBOR game. I think the game has a good reception here (thanks), so I'm about to release an english version that I did for the game, here some screenshots:


The translation is ready but the problem is that I'm not sure if the game has some grammatical errors. They're 9 game cutscenes(including intro), around half hour of story.

So If you know someone avalaible or you want to help me, please, send me a PM, It's all right if I can ask help in forums for game translation? (like I did with the game description).

Thanks and greetings

I think I can help with this. Do you have the game's dialogue in a word file that you can send over? Or do you just want me to download, play it as it is now, and make notes as I see them?

Hi, thanks, the cutscenes in OpenBOR are generally animated gif (the editor don't have "textbox" by default), so I have the dialogues in PSD files (don't worry they aren't rasterized, so you could change it just typing).

Note that the Arcade font is too big for the textbox, so you need to write short words if you have to change something (same issue I had on spanish version xd).

You can make notes too, In that case I just send you the animated gif cutscenes, so you see them, make the necessary corrections and send me screenshots where I have to change.

Still need help with this? Also, if the font's too big, maybe choose something else.

The fastest way to do this is if you take all the game's text, throw it into a Word doc and send it to me. If I have to change an entire sentence structure, I'll try to at least keep it within a similar length of the old one.

If Dyhalto can do this job, I don't think I need any more help (maybe for my next game). I would like to change the font but Openbor require indexed graphics to run, other fonts gives me antiliasing when I resize them, Arcade font was pixelated so is the ideal. Thanks.

Ok, I'm going to do that, soon I'll send you the text.
