Fuck. I wish to god we could translate this stuff.

"Tickling Adventure Tales" is probably how the title translates to English.

Engine used to make it is the Wolf RPG engine. More info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgYkcf7GvKo

Many untranslated games can be played with an automatic (though poor) translation using a combination of ITH (grab text to clipboard) and Translation Aggregator (automatically translate clipboard contents). Old tutorial on how to use them, might be out of date.

However, ITH plays pretty badly with WolfRPG, in a few ways, so it's not really practical for this game.



It would be great if someone manually translated this, and the other Wolf RPG games.

Here is what you need to get started translating those games.


Tools for Translating Wolf RPG Games

• WolfRPG Game Contents Extractor (clean 3rd party utility)
• Wolf RPG 2.10 Editor in English for using on extracted game data. (clean fan translation)
• Wolf RPG Editor 2.10 in Japanese (official download). You need this to copy and paste text out of the events, if you're translating manually from within the editor.
• Wolf RPG Translator. Dumps text so you can translate it with other tools/
• Untranslated Tickling Tales Adventure game data, extracted by the above tool.

General Translation Tips

To get an overview of what something says, use Translation Aggregator to translate the text on multiple translation engines. Even though http://translate.google.com and SysTran are good, sometimes the other engines catch stuff. You can also install ATLAS translator (detailed instructions courtesy of AnimeWatcher) which give you access to things like custom dictionaries. If someone made a custom dictionary for tickling games, it might help cut down on silly translation artifacts like laughter / vocalizations being mistranslated as weird words. For example, in Google Translate, "haha" shows up as "mother," and you'll see other words clearly out of place, like "baboon" or "cormorant." Google Translate has a "phrasebook" feature that could help solve the same problem, though.

Sometimes, those translation engines will not recognize a word, due to conjugation or relative infrequency. Two things are very helpful.

1) Manually pull up http://translate.google.com, use line breaks (press enter!) to separate a word from its context, and to click on it to see alternate translations.
2) Check a different dictionary for the word. The two following dictionaries are useful:

• Jeffrey's Japanese<->English Dictionary - Gateway
• Jim Breen's WWWJDIC

If you need more help with the translation, post questions.
If you need help staying motivated, you can make a thread about the translation project and people will probably check in and encourage you.

Game will not display japanese fonts... any fonts :/
Funny because in the past I did not have this problem with other RPG makers.
Running on Win 7/64
I have Japanese Language pack installed.
Can someone give step by step instruction of what to do?
That would be great XD

Most straightforward way is to temporarily change your system locale to Japanese.

AppLocale might fix it, too. Less straightforward to set up, but if it works, it'll save you having to reboot to switch between system locales.

Thanks a lot Lurk !
Changing system to Japanese location worked

You're welcome.

If anyone knows of a good way to batch-upload .txt files to Google Translate's Translator Toolkit it might enable getting a shoddy translation of the game online pretty quick.

Most promising thing I've seen so far is https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell. Can probably write a script to go through every file in the patch directory and run it through a translation service.
