I don't speak italian either, but I'm pretty sure that's French. For example, Italian uses a lot more vowels at the end of words, and "chat" is French for cat. It's gatto in Italian. Sadly, I don't speak much french either...

Just type the text into the Google translator...

Yeah, that's french.

Here you go

The tragic and astonishing story of Feanor, the little ball-like (=globuleux?) cat.

In autumn 2000, a friend offered me some kittens, which a homeless mother cat had given birth to in his living room.

"Aaah, I want them all"

At first I chose Fleya because she immediately came towards me to climb on me.

"Hi there, little one"

After that, it was Feanor's turn. He had enormous round/ball-like eyes and was too cute. I called him "little ball-like".

Once the kittens had been chosen, one had to wait for them to be weaned off their mother before taking them home.

Replace "super cat" --> "tremendous/great cat"

Thank you! Here you go.

Very cute.

It's about...brain damage?

>>4016
That's what's cute about it.

>>4008
Gonna do any more? These are awesome.

There's still a few kinks to work out, but nothing insurmountable yet.

Well, THAT was fast. :)

>>3979

You're not likely to get it to work without hacking the text engine to support more characters per bubble.

>>3981
Worst comes to worse, we can just paraphrase dialogue that won't fit. gbatemp seems interested in getting on board, so there may be workarounds yet. The game was only just leaked yesterday, after all.

>>3982

Paraphrasing will simply not work, you can give up on that idea right away.

You'll need to find out if the text engine uses a hardcoded width or not. If it doesn't, you can replace the font with a narrower one. If it does, you'll either need to disassemble the thing and change all references to the width, or you might possibly pull it off by creating a font of two-letter combinations.

You'll probably also need tools to take apart and put together .kds files. They don't seem too complicated, though.

Just for the sake of it.
Apart from the error in the 4th image everything seems to be fine, for now.

Fixed it.

Nevermind, I have given up. There's too many errors for me to fix.
http://rapidshare.com/files/148041199/crap.rar.html
If anyone wants to carry on, replace the font with Doki's and hex edit the file. After "I forgot to tell" everything fucks up and I can't fix it. in b4 massive sage

Kumatrans is still alive, at kumatrans.wikidot.com
And we are currently in need of an advanced rom hacker to implement Variable Font Width into kumatanchi.
We also could always use more translators. Thanks.

damn I would have loved to see this in english

hope it will be translated soon though

>>837

I think you may be the first person to ever think Kusomiso was actually hot.

>>838

You're stalling!

Maybe you should try to arrange a collaborative translation?

Oh, it's uhho! I've been looking for this.

No. 1836 says "No prob."

here's some japanese that i noticed it must have been difficult to read.
yes, very bad handwriting.

the salad was so good that she had a 4th helping.^^;

I second this request

I remeber seeing these pages on guro chan I think, I believe this limbless girl was only a minor side character in a manga, and these pages were something of a omake. So these might be the only pages with her. I how ever do not remeber the name of the manga...

There was another posted to 4chan. I took their translation and edited it here. Sorry, I didn't keep the original.

>>2304
do you know what manga?

I assume it's super rare, but it wouldn't hurt to ask for more?

I agree, Someone needs to make one.

I found a Manga here:
hxxp://blog8.fc2.com/t/torotei/file/backbeard_img.htm

Thirded...
we need like a wiki or somethin...

I do believe the giant eyeball creature is known as Blackbeard. His daughters name I am unsure of. Also, they fight pedophiles.

>>2757

According to somebody on the requests board, Her name is Beako (ベア子).

It's "Backbeard", not Blackbeard.

Hey Cosmo Gunny, where did you put 2chgrounds?

There appears to be a collection of 44 of these at:

http://torot.net/main/comic/backbeard/beamite.htm

Originally, Backbeard was the nickname used by a notorious critic of lolicons, who's name was derived from a monster in European mythology (the giant eyeball thingy).

Not surpisingly, they made a meme out of it, as well as a -tan mascot, Beako, who is supposedly Backbeard's daughter, and frequently voices the tagline "You Damn Lolicon!"

Anyway, would like to bump to see if anyone's interested in translating these.

>>2757
the funny thing is that I have seen some loli flash about that anti-pedo loli.

omfg. moar.

Is the original Kuso Miso technique translated?

>>3409
me too, I want to know

Dude, the last post was over 7 months ago.

yes, I know but we really need this translation, every cult mangas needs to be translated

>>3818
this has been translated for, like forever

thanks

>>3751
No problem in the translation.
But,it has made a mistake in the position of the characters.
Look at the frame 2
Nagato and Kyon are in the same room.
OK?

×Haruhi: Hey, Nagato, don't look over here, okay?
○Kyon:Hey, Nagato, don't look over here, okay?

×Haruhi: Mm, okay then. (Oh yeah, why does he wear glasses?)
○Koizumi:Mm, okay then. (Oh yeah, why does he wear glasses?)

>>3741
adding two >> carrots will link to the posts, for future reference, unless you're doing it on purpose which I guess is fine too

>>3756
Aaah, thanks, didn't notice that Nagato was in the room with them. Explains a lot.

>>3757
Thanks for your advice.
I'm from 2chan. I did't know the proper way on this board.
Now okay.

>>3743
Kyon:How long I believe in Santa Clause? Maybe you're not interested in this question,
Kyon:But I'll answer the question, How long I believe in the old man dressed in red is clear? I say with certainty, I never believed in Santa Clause.
Kyon:I remember a man in a Santa costume appeared at the Critsmas party of my kindergarten, but he was not real. And then, to live only by working in a day a year is impossible.I never believed in Santa Clause.
Kyon:On the other hand, a long time, I believed in arean lives,time travellers, ghosts,monsters,espers,mysterious criminal organization,and such heroes on annimated TV programs.
Kyon:Probably just because I didn't want to accept our real world.
Kyon:At that time, from the bottom of my heart, I really wanted to see arean lives and so on.

>>3744
Kyon:Having leaned much about the laws of physics,I can't watch TV programs about UFOs or ghosts so zealously as before.
Kyon:Arean lives？　They cannot appear in evelyday life！　But….I hope slightly them to appear～.I'm already grown up enough to have a common sense.
Kyon:Around the time when I left junior hischool,I left such childish dreams behind and got the ordinary way of thinking instead.
Kyon:Without any deep emotions I become a high scool student,and…
Kyon:I met him.
Haruhi:I graduated Higashi junior highschool and my name is Suzumiya Haruhi.

>>3745
Haruhi:I'm not intersted in ordinary people.
Haruhi:If arien lives, time travellers, espers are here, come to talk with me.Over.
Kyon:--What kind of joke?
Kyon:A pretty dumn handsome boy was he.

>>3746
Kyon:Everybody thought he was just kidding.
Kyon:But he didn't mean to say jokes or gags.
Kyon:Haruhi is always really serious.
Kyon:My first encounter with him is as such.
Kyon:I hope it should be a minor matter.

>>3747
Kyon:When he keeps silent, he is really a handsome high school boy.

Haruhi:Are you from a different planet?
Kyon:No, but….
Haruhi:But what?
Kyon:…. Not especially.
Haruhi:If so, shut up. What a waste of time.

Kyon:I happened to sit on the seat next to him, so I wanted to make friend with him. It might be natural.
Taniguchi:If you get attracted to him, I say.
Taniguchi:Don't dare !
Taniguchi:I went to the same junior high school with him for 3 years.
Taniguchi:So I know how geekly he is.
Kyon:Certainly, his self-introduction was very unique.

Taniguchi:For me, who is the better？
Taniguchi:In this class, my recommendation is
Taniguchi:Asakura.
Taniguchi:He must be one of the best 3 boys among all the 1st-year male students in this high school.
Kyon:Have you finished checking all the 1st-year male students?
Taniguchi:Yeah.I classified them into the A to D grades. I memorized Ithe names of all the grade-A-boys.
Kyon:Is he classified to the A grade?
Taniguchi:AA＋．He must have a nice personality!

Kyon:Those time, Suzumiya Haruhi didn't seem so eccentric as now, and I could easily keep a tranquil mind.
Kyon:But the bizarre behaviors of Suzumiya Haruhi began to stand out little by little.

>>3752
Kyon:…Koizumi?
Koizumi:What?
Kyon:For now,I'd like you get off of me anyway.
Koizumi:It may be impossible.
Kyon:Well…,so….
Koizumi:A problem.Troublesome.
Kyon:…

We are told that Emma lives in "Marylebone Street". As it happens, there are THREE streets of this name, in the Marylebone quarter... so which one is it?

These days, that "High Street" is Marylebone High Street, while the perpendicular Marylebone Street is now just New Cavendish Street. However, there's also a Marylebone Lane and Marylebone Mews.

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.520157,-0.150343&spn=0.004723,0.006091&hl=en

Yes, but at the time of Emma, New Cavendish street was just the short bit between Upper Marylebone Street (UMS) and Greater Marylebone Street (GMS).

Marylebone Lane (ML) is also visible in that map, in >>780 above. It's the twisty lane below the "Great" in Great Marylebone Street.

In other news, has anyone noticed that the estate of the Jounes' has moved from being a large palatial house, obviously located inside London's boroughs, to a more country-estate type of place?

Looky, looky: picture from volume 1 page 31 and from Episode 2 of the anime.

Obviously, the animation crew felt they wanted to emphasise the wealth of the Jounes family.

BTW, can anyone recognise the Jounes estate in the anime? I've been browsing pics of stately homes for the past couple of days, and I haven't found one that looks just like that - though several have come close. I suspect that it's an amalgam of several.

Seen during Emma's and William's chat near the end of ep. 4, the Prince Albert Memorial was unveiled in 1876 by Queen Victoria, as a memorial to her late husband, Prince Albert.

The architect was Sir Gilbert Scott, and the monument features the sculpture of numerous artists.

http://www.speel.demon.co.uk/other/albmem.htm

Here's an actual photograph of Regent Street (the long, curved street on which part Hakim's and William's elephantback excursion took place). The picture is from the late 19th century, and is therefore from Emma's time.

Note the extreme similarities between this picture and the anime's rendition - the animators have seen this exact picture, I guarantee it.

Designed between 1811 and 1830, by John Nash (with inspiration from the Rue de Rivoli in Paris), Regent Street and Regent's Park were intended to provide a residential quarter for the increasing number of affluent Londoners.

Umm... I'm actually in London right now. I was wondering if the area of Marylebone was destroyed in the Blitz. Maybe I can take pictures of where Emma supposedly lives. And of course I'll take the usual pictures of Hyde Park and stuff.

This is where you'll find the various Marylebone streets nowadays:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.518845,-0.149927&spn=0.003868,0.006387&hl=en

FON would place Emma's place a bit further west, though: See >>777 for more discussion.

By all means go have a look, and tell us.

Only distinguishing difference is the missing window in the tympanum (which in itself was a pretty strange thing for Morland to put there).
Déchy [10660721ff] has enough material for it to have possibly served as a reference, however it's most likely a false positive, heh.

Dear Iitran translation group,

Greetings. I am researching the Marylebone area you mention and would love to know the source of your map (File: 1114526878236.jpg) which is a very beautiful one.

Many thanks,
Hilary
