[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

It was kinda annoying to press '2' all the time.

Odd... do you remember which scene that was?

Oho, I found the likely typo! The translation of this line:

!sd@　私たち全員はそういう認識だったでしょうがッ！！」

Has !s instead of !sd.

That would explain the problem for sure.
Mind you, it should have reverted back to normal mode within a few pages, when the next "instant text" gets turned off. But yeah, it'll be good to get that fixed.

Nah, it's not to set-up the mood or anything, because 3 days ago, it was at the normal speed that actually made it better. Now the movements are so fast, that it doesn't really appeal at all :\

I'm wondering out of curiosity, what kinds of bugs will happen if you run Umineko on Windows Vista/7 without having the computer in the Japanese locale? The game was installed in Japanese, of course, but it current is not in the Japanese locale.

Anyway, I noticed on the error screen that pops up, if I right click, and hit "Title Back", or "Load", I can play the game without any problems so far. In fact, it's gotten me past the problem I described above, although in a roundabout way.

EDIT: Nevermind, next time I try something, I'll go more than a few pages. It appears that, like it was stated, the BGM can't be played. Fail. *facepalm*
EDIT2: Or maybe it can be... I think my computer's bipolar right now. Or maybe that scene just didn't have BGM.

[Roto]

If you're not running in Japanese locale, some BGM tracks will play (the ones with only ASCII in their names) and some will not (the ones with SJIS characters in their filenames.)

I think this will be fixed in an upcoming version of ONScripter-EN... I think the bug has been found and fixed but there hasn't been a release that contains the fix yet.

[Nadeor]

Saw this a few days ago on SOSG and so I decided to translate this:
This is the promo text for the valentines event: Butterfly kiss episode 1.5 - (episode 1: Anecdote)

I've taken out EP6 characters due to spoilers control
it's pretty interesting, generally love letters written by the furniture and witches
See if you can find your waifu here (for me asmo-chan of course XD)
If you look at the texts carefully enough, you will find that they correspond to the characters pretty well

Spoiler for EP1-5:

To the master of the fragment, the great lord:

It's the time of valentines again, and as the leader of the seven sisters of purgatory
I hereby present to you this chocolate, and my vow for eternal obedience

~Eldest of the seven sisters of purgatory: Lucifer, with love and loyalty
P.S. If there's anything you'd like me to do, I will be willing to turn into a chair, a candlestick, a cat, a carpet, a furniture, and even a slave, so please order this pathetic furniture around as you wish

=====================================

To the honored lord who must've gotten chocolate from others:

Although my chocolate is only one of the many that you have received, I still have poured my heart and effort into making it
Even if it's just an insignificant one in a huge pile, it doesn't matter
(Nadeor: I sense yandere...=_=)
This message is from one pair of the countless eyes fixed to you, that lunatic one with the color of envious red
Forget-me-not, ohehehehehehe~

~Second eldest of the seven sisters of purgatory: Leviathan, with love and jealousy

============================

To the master of the seven sisters, the almighty lord:

I have predicted that my foolish sisters must've included some rude words in the letters
But, the fault is not theirs
It's all due to that I have not taught them well. Please accept my apologies

And also, have your harsh remarks at me if you wish...
Any strong words, I can take, because I am prepared for them...

~Third eldest of the seven sisters of the purgatory: Satan, with love and regret

=================================

To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:

I have sent many chocolates to many males, but they are demon chocolates designed to make the men into lazy swines
But your majesty has always fixed yourself into working
So this is not a trap to sloth, but a real valentines chocolate from me

~Fourth eldest of the seven sisters of purgatory: Belphegor, with love and respect

======================================

(Mammon's omitted due to the OP)

======================================

To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:

I believe that your majesty deserves the best of the best chocolates
so I spent many time looking for one that suits you
and after countless tries, I have found that best one

~Second youngest of the seven sisters of purgatory: Beelzebub, with love and cocoa

P.S. The best of the best chocolates is really the best! It's so addicting that I can't stop myself after the first bite
...I have accidently ate them all, my apologies
so here you go, the second best-tasting chocolate

=======================================

To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:

I have melted my love into this chocolate
No, if possible, I want to become your majesty's chocolate
If that can be done, I will be able to lie on your majesty's warm and soft tounge, enjoying the sensation of your mouth to its fullest

~Youngest of the seven sisters of purgatory: Asmodeus, with love, passion, and melancholy

============================================

To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Siesta Guards

Thank you very much for all these times
I wish to make handcrafted chocolates and send them to you, but due to the chocolate terrorist attack last year, the headquarter forbade us to make chocolates
Therefore I have picked the best one which I thought would fit your majesty the most
It would be my greatest honor if you can taste it

~Siesta 45

===================================

To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Siesta Guards

The friendship chocolate of the roses, is the shotgun of the valentines
The true love chocolate that guarantees a perfect strike, is the sniper rifle of the valentines
And the chocolate I've sent to you...what of the valentines is it-ne?

~Siesta 410-ne

================================================== ==

To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Siesta Guards

Along with the blessings of valentines, I've included the love and respect for your majesty in this letter
The chocolate that accompanies this letter has passed the department's inspection
please enjoy it without worries

~Siesta 00

============================================

To celebrate valentines, and show my appreciation for all these times, I hereby present to you this chocolate
But, when it's valentines, I like to receive more than to give out chocolates
I like chocolate, because I'm a kid
(Nadeor: Dlanor's definitely on my loli list)
I don't like hot chocolate, because I spill it easily
...and I can't really wash it off
If Gertrude sees this letter, she will force me to rewrite it
...how burdensome
so I secretly sent this out before Gertrude can take a look at it

~Chief inquisitor of Eiserne Jungfrau: Dlanor A. Knox

===========================================

Report: Today sure is cold
bid my wish that your majesty may hold on to good health
hereby present my blessings of St.Valentine's
and alongside a piece of chocolate full of love and respect

~First-class priest: Gertrude

P.S. I've recently made a cat my pet, it's really cute
Which one does your majesty like more? Cats or Dogs?

================================================

Report: Days still has yet to warm itself, and early spring has paid its first visit,
at this time of enjoying the warmth of heater, I bid your majesty greetings and fair wish for good health
The delinquent who dared to disrupt this day of last year has been taken into custody
I have with me the sense of a law enforcer, carrying on my daily duties

~Third-class Priest: Cornelia

The Inquisitors are with the habit of formal writings
If the letters are of great difficulty to read, my apologies
(Nadeor: It sure is hard to translate this letter...spare me of the grammar-nazing)

===========================================

HAPPY VALENTINES, ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND, WHAAAAAAAAAAAT AAAAAAA PIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!

Just to let you know, I have eaten that pile of chocolates mailed to you
If you ever let me catch you, you are DEAD! I will let you know that you will never be able to receive chocolates from girls, EVER!

...But oh well, I really do pity your pathetic look
so here you go, I have saved you a piece of chocolate, be grateful of my kindness~!

I, I was thinking...of making you a handcrafted chocolate, but mines tasted too good
It would be a pity to send it to you, so I ate it myself
If it's for you, I think a chocolate bought elsewhere will be good enough
(Nadeor: Tsundere much?)

~Golden Witch: Beatrice

======================================

To onii-chan:

I think onii-chan has already received tons of chocolates
Most of them are probably just trying to catch your attention, so don't get all excited about'em
Unlike back in onii-chan's time, girls nowadays send chocolates to even just normal friends
My chocolate is handcrafted, and for some reason I've shaped it into a heart
but don't overthink yourself into it...there's nothing special behind it

~From your cute little sister: Ange

...I'm not good with translating stuff into English, especially in the middle of the night
I just hope that it's understandable
Hope you guys liked it, and a late happy valentines to all Umineko fans
(P.S. There's still white valentines next month, right?)

These were written by Ryukishi, correct? (I have no idea what SOSG is.)
They're all so cute ^w^ /

EDIT:
Something I found kinda funny **EPISODE 6**:

Spoiler for Ep.6:

If we assume these are all being written to Battler (the master of the fragment), then Beato is a jealous waifu

Sorry if I can't mention Ep. 6 here. If that's the case, I'll move my comment to the Ep. 6 thread.

[moichispa]

oh, thanks for the translation but this is the correct place to post it? I wonder...

[theacefrehley]

Thanks to Nadeor's post... when I went' to check in the usual source...
I found a bunch of new booklets


The last one I had read was 「Arigato for 556」（2009年8月）
And now I find:

# ひぐらしのつどい３配布小冊子 (Higurashi Get-Together 3 Booklet)

* TIPS「新人司祭コーネリア」（2009年9月） (Cornelia, the new priestess)

# GATE stalemate配布小冊子

* TIPS「勤労感謝の日の贈り物」（2009年11月） (Gift of Thanksgiving Day)

# コミックマーケット７７配布小冊子

* TIPS「ゲームマスターバトラ！」（2009年12月） (Game Master BATTLER!)

# Butterfly Kiss Episode1.5配布メッセージペーパー

* バレンタインメッセージペーパー（2010年2月） (Valentine Message Paper)

The first 3 are quite big... Like a small/medium size chapter of Umineko

I believe so, they are written by Ryukishi
SOSG is the chinese forum which I go on pretty often

The tips here were 2nd-handedly translated, it went from Japanese -> Chinese first, and then I translated it from Chinese -> English
I tried to hold the most of its meanings, so my apologies if I mistranslated anything

And also, I can't seem to find other threads that supports this little note
So sorry mods if this is not the right place...no banhammer plz

[Jan-Poo]

Very nice! If you find more translations please don't forget to tell me ^^ I have updated my list


EDIT:

And please someone needs to make a fanart about that Eva!!!

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Okay, I haven't been so active checking for translation updates. But, is there a EP 5 patch that is working with EP 6 yet?

Not yet, but you can expect it to be released in the next few days according to chronotrig's last post.

More like a few days ago. Meanwhile, at Witch Hunt... XD

Just kidding, I know it's really hard to translate stuff, especially when the coding is all screwed up.

Really looking forward to it. Especially since I got rid of Ep5 a few weeks ago and am now itching to read through it again >.>

[ShinseiTom]

I saw that there was an update to ONScripter today, that says something about "embedded “ons-en” icon for Windows, a few minor features, and some bugfixes, like for Japanese filename handling on Vista/Windows 7."

Is this the magical fix for Vista/Win7 systems we've been hoping for, or am I just jumping the gun a whole lot?

As my first post I would just like to extend my gratitude to the wonderful people at Witch Hunt who selflessly take it upon themselves to allow different people to enjoy the masterpiece that is Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Simply put, thankyou for allowing me to experience this series in all it's entirety.

[chronotrig]

We now have an Episode 6 compatible patch right here.

As previously mentioned, only EP5 and the EP6 opening (the prologue, not the movie) are translated. Also, we don't have a Mac version posted yet. If you just can't wait to start using it on Mac, grab the Windows patch and stick this in it (if you don't know what this means, probably best to wait for the installer).

Also, we're experimenting with a new direct download link for the patch. If it's slow, unavailable, or makes something unspeakably evil happen, please let us know.
