Eien no Aselia to use Dakkodango’s translation
May 4th, 2011, by in Translation
Dakkodango translation has made a post on their blog stating that now they are cooperating with JAST USA to produce the English version of XUSE’s Eien no Aselia. We sat down with JAST USA employee Shingo to discuss how this came to be. Apparently, JAST USA believed that they would be able to use XUSE’s English translation, but it turned out that XUSE would be unable to offer help in the technical localization process. Having been handed an English script formatted for the PS2 version of the game, the localization company looked into getting it converted and inserted but did not have the resources to do this themselves. Therefore, they approached the fan translators to see if they could lend a hand, and the best option to them was to simply use Dakkodango’s translation scripts as well. When asked for an official statement, Shingo said: “We’re happy to enter a contractual relationship with Dakkodango and compensate them for the work on their localization. Thanks to their cooperation, we’re looking forward to releasing the game earlier than we could have otherwise.”

JAST USA arranging for clean swords
January 31st, 2011, by in Translation
JAST USA announced today their plans to release a localized version of XUSE’s strategy game Aselia the Eternal. The release will be of the all-ages port of the PS2 version, included in Japanese special edition of Seinarukana, and the script will be produced by JAST USA based on English materials provided by XUSE. A complete fan translation patch of this specific version of the game has been available for some time from Dakkodango Translations, and some of the staff may work with JAST USA on images in the game, but the fan translation will specifically not be used, according to the FAQ post on JAST USA’s forums. We sat down with JAST USA employee Shingo for a little chat after the announcement and were shown a sample of the English script that XUSE had provided.
