Reactions to recent developments
April 29th, 2010, by in Tools, Translation
A sizable number of users on 4chan’s /jp/ board felt upset at TLWiki’s handling of the situation and discussed the idea of a translation wiki that was impervious to cease-and-desist orders. This resulted in the setup of C&Dwiki, which redirects users from Japan to a snarky message. There are currently two new translation projects on this site. In other news, No Name Losers earlier today updated their website with a different YouTube video, as well as a new caption, “A Mystic Adventure!” Furthermore, on the bottom of their website is written “T minus 24 hours”. Lastly, former fan translator and current MangaGamer translator kouryuu started up a thread on our forums discussing the position of fan translations of visual novels.
UPDATE: NNL states on its website that it has canceled work on ef. However, their website shows a “404 – Not Found” when browsed with a certain Japanese proxy but appear fine to several people in Japan who have browsed to the site.
UPDATE 2: NNL states that they actually meant that the ef fandub project was cancelled and not the main project. They have released an installer on their own website and state that the data files needed for the installer can be found “somewhere else.”

Don’t forget Poland!
September 5th, 2009, by in Tools, Translation
In an odd turn of events, a forum member on the gemot has posted an email that he supposedly received from Kiyobee, a person working at TYPE-MOON, in response to a technical question about translating Fate/stay night into Polish. The email was not an official response on behalf of the company, but rather included Kiyobee’s personal thoughts. Judging from the contents of the email, it looks like he personally is glad about spreading Fate/stay night to many people, although this cannot be construed as an official stance on behalf of TYPE-MOON.
