Help needed: "Shanghai Dynasty" translation

Post#1 » Wed Sep 22, 2021 2:11 pm

Anyone willing to help on optimizing the recently released English localization prototype of "Shanghai Dynasty"?
https://hiddenpalace.org/Shanghai_Dynas ... _prototype)

According to the build date it should be based on the Japanese retail version of the game, which means the prototype itself should be complete. The remaining problem so far is the poor English here and there (grammar mistakes etc.). The hacking process would be fairly easy - I've already done some tests and managed to change some ingame text succesfully.

Barriers I'm encountering are:
A) I'm not a native English speaker - so, I think I could somewhat improve the tranlastion in places, but... it would be quite stupid to pull something off and still not to have a proper translation in the end.
B) I only know how to play "Shanghai" (game modes 1-4). I don't have the slightest clue how "Mah-Jong" (game mode 5) works...

So yeah, anyone up for the task?
Basically it would require to go through the game, to take notes of existing text lines that sound awkward, and to come up with better translations for them.
