Full translation for Katahane released
August 30th, 2011, by in Release, Translation
A group on TLWiki has released two versions of the complete English fan translation for Tarte’s Katahane. Similar to the earlier partial release, they made a natural patch that omits honorifics and alters a few conversations that were difficult to translate into English, along with a literal patch that includes honorifics and does not contain these minor alterations. Looking back to the partial patch, roughly 60% of the downloads were for the literal version, leaving 40% for the natural version. On the TLWiki page, the group notes that the editor believes the natural version “provides a smoother reading experience.” The translator, “Yeah321” has also translated two of the five translated Sono Hanabira titles by the doujin group Fuguriya, is waiting for editing to finish on her completed translation of Heterodoxy’s The Second Reproduction, and is 39% through her translation of Propeller’s Ayakashibito.

Twin partial patches released for Katahane
April 10th, 2011, by in Release, Translation
A fan translation group on TLWiki has released two partial patches for Katahane. Both of these patches cover the first of two “Shirohane” story arcs along with the entirety of the “Kurohane” story arc with the exception of a secret ending that is only available after completing the full game. These two story arcs make up roughly two-thirds of the text in the game. The two patches each use a different style of translation, the first being the Natural patch, which does not have honorifics in the text and has “a handful of conversations involving nuances of the Japanese language rewritten.” The Literal patch on the other hand does include honorifics and does not contain the minor alterations in that are present in the Natural patch.

Stalled Katahane translation resumes with a new translator
June 20th, 2010, by in Translation
After a previous attempt to translate Katahane stalled back in January on the TLWiki, a new translator, Yeah321, has decided to pick up the title from where the previous translator stalled. The old translator, “I failed jp302″, translated roughly ten percent of the trial version of the Katahane between December 2009 and January 2010 before deciding he was in over his head, and Yeah321 has began translating from this point. “I failed jp302″ has joined in this new effort to translate the title once again, this time as an editor instead of a translator.
