NOTICE: New language support in my work
🕑 Added 2022-05-08 14:00:09 +0000 UTCHi, patrons!
I get a lot of requests for multi-language support. But unfortunately, I didn't have enough time. However, it seems like a good opportunity for that.
Proofreading
Overall, the amount of text in my works is increasing (especially the MEO series). So, this month, I have decided to proofread the text on my work(I'm not native English). One of the patrons agreed to help.
New language
Therefore, I decided to do the work, including the new language, along with the proofreading work. It won't take up much of my working time.
The procedure is as follows.
Before that, I need to find out which language you want to add to my work. So I want to ask you that.
- 1. First, I would like to ask what language you want. (until May 12)Please leave a comment. If the language you want is left in the comments, please do not leave duplicate comments again. This is only to create voting options.
- 2. Next week, we will start the poll. I will include all languages left in this post's comments as the voting options. This poll will be open to all patrons.
- 3. The language that received the most Patron's choice will be included along with English in my future works.
When and How
When: If possible, I will include a new language in my work this month(MEO2, full set) or next month(MEO3, MSG4, or FL7).
How: For new language support, I may need your help. I will ask you for help after the poll is over. Of course, there will be some benefits for those who help me.
ETC
Effect on working time
Already I spend a lot of time proofreading the text myself. However, it is not enough for us to rate and revise my text by myself. This co-work may reduce this time. The translation work will incur additional work time, but it won't be very time-consuming. Also, I will try to reduce it if possible.
Distribution
Because proofreading and translation work is collaborative, it can inevitably affect distribution times. In such a case, I will first distribute the unmodified version(no proofreading or no second language) and then redistribute the edited version afterward. Therefore, there will be no significant difference in distribution time.
Previous work
I am not currently considering adding a new language to my previous work. However, the digest may be included to understand the story, like in the ES series.
3rd supported language
It seems that we are not at the stage to consider it at this time. First, add a new language, and after that, I can think about it.
Thank you! 😊👍

Hi, Aaron Yang. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I can understand the concerns of the patrons, who are already familiar with English, like you. As I have mentioned several times, adding a new language will not negatively affect the quality and quantity of my work. And I am not usually the one that handles translation and proofreading of new languages . I will find someone to help with that. My work for adding a new language is that write the text a little bit faster for translation and make a distribution for a new language. So I think it won't require me a lot of work time. And I considered a few dialog designs. Speech balloons are one of them, but my conclusion is that they don't fit well in 3DCG. Or, like a game, the text could be concentrated at the bottom, but that form was not good either. So at the moment, I am not considering any different text designs. However, if I have a good idea about it, I'll try it. Thank you!

Hi Jared, it's a good thing to have multilingual support, but I don't think it's a very necessary work compared with plot and dialogue design and CG production. Besides, it will involve your extra time and energy. If there is anything you can do, mabey you can make the English text of each issue into a TXT file separately to facilitate patrons to use Google to translate them. What do you think? Good luck!

My top priority is to have enough working time. If I feel that adding a second language is causing problems with the quality and quantity of my work, I will stop it or find another way.

I am using the translation. I don't think you should be wasting your time.

This month, I have decided to proofread English text in my work(Not by myself). It will make the text in my piece a little more natural and rich. And I'm sure the second language support won't adversely affect the quality or quantity of my work. I hope you understand that. Thank you!

I'd suggest just English but make it very well written.
