strange way to put it, but ultimately, I decided having no voices would be better.^@^ br ;その理由はボイスが無いと、脳内イメージ力によって、 ;プレイされる方が「無限の理想形」 ;を、想像できる可能性があるからだと考えたからです。\ ^This is because I believe the player can imagine endless possibilities using his own imagination if voices are removed from the game.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Concepts During Production~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;ならば、同じ原理で…^@^ ^Then, by the same reasoning...^@^ ^Should art also be as minimalist as possible?

And so on.^@^ br ;　※シナリオについての、アリ・無しの概念とは…^@^ ;アリ＝状況や心情を、全てｏｒ必要以上に書く「小説タイプ」 ;無し＝最低限度の文字だけで表現する「脚本・詩タイプ」^@^ ;　こんな↑感じだとお考え下さいませ。\ ^* In the plot's case, the ``having'' and ``not having'' would be...^@^ ^``Having'' means that we know everything, or more than is needed, about the circumstances and feelings surrounding the plot, like a novel.^@^ ^``Not having'' means being as sparse as possible, like a script or a poem. ^@^ ^Please think of it along those lines.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Concepts During Production~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;以上のことをずっと以前から考えていたので、 ;今回、試しにやってみようってのがキッカケでした。\ ^I have been thinking about these things for a long time, and this time, it was a chance for me to give them a try.\ goto *tc12 *ns02 ;★そして　制作後の感想です\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Afterwards ~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ About The Art~i =0~!sd br ;☆絵について^@^ ;思った以上に、絵を使ってしまいました。^@^ ^I wound up using more than I thought I would.^@^ br ;当初の予定では、 ;もっと黒と白だけのつもりだったのですけど…^@^ ^Initially, the plan was to use just monochrome...^@^ br ;純粋な小説家タイプの書き手さんなら、 ;そうなったのかも知れませんが、 ^Perhaps, if I were more like a novelist type writer, it might have turned out that way. ;自分の場合は、絵もテキストの一部って感覚が、 ;身に染み付いているようです。\ ^But I guess the notion that the art is part of the text has been ingrained in me.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Afterwards ~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ About The Voices~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;☆ボイスについて^@^ ;最終的にボイスも用意することにしました。^@^ ^Ultimately, I provided voices for the project.^@^ br ;あくまでも、無しと比較する為に用意したって意味なので、 ;色んな意味で「違和感」を感じて頂けると幸いです。^@^ ^They're only there to provide contrast against the unvoiced version, so I'll be happy if players feel a sense of ``unease.''^@^ br ;先にボイス無しでプレイしてから、ボイスアリをやった人と、 ;先にボイスアリやってから、無しをやった人との差とか。^@^ ^For example, the differnces between those who first played with unvoiced then voiced, and the other way around.^@^ br ;その両者の、違和感の格差を知りたかったのも、 ;今回、無しの為にボイスを用意した理由の一つでした。\ ^Wanting to know the differences in feelings of unease between the two was one of the reasons I had prepared both ``with'' and ``without'' this time.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Afterwards~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Conclusion~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;☆まとめ^@^ br ;そんな訳で、元々のコンセプトであった、 ^That was the original concept behind this work. br ;可能な限り情報（主にボイス・絵・文）を削り、 ;読み手の方の、無限のイメージに期待するって方法。^@^ ^A way to cut out as much information as possible (in the form of voices, art, text), and rely on the reader's unbounded imagination.^@^ br ;「原理」としては正しかったと思っています。^@^ ^I believe that the ~i~principle~i~ is correct.^@^ br ;でも、この理想形を追求する為には、 ;自分では、ちょっと無理があるように思いました。\ ^But in the end, having what's necessary to chase after that ideal may have been a bit beyond me.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Afterwards~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Conclusion~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;ストーリーとかエンタメ性とかって以前に、 ;根本の問題として、脚本家・詩タイプのライターではなく、^@^ ;小説家タイプの書き方をする方のほうが適任かと思いました。^@^ ^Before even discussing ``story'' and ``entertainment'', as a fundamental issue, I felt that the writing style of a novelist was the most suited, as opposed to a scriptwriter or poet.^@^ br ;絵が無いならば、文字情報は、たくさん必要。 ;逆に言えば、文字情報が少ないならば、やはり絵は必要。^@^ ^If there is no art, then much more textual information is needed. ^On the flip side, if there is very little text, then more art is needed.^@^ br ;当たり前のことですが、やはりそうなんだと思います。 ^It's an obvious thing, but I believe that's how things are. br ;ものすごーく、時間をかけて、 ;練り込みに練り込みを重ねたら、分かりませんけど…\ ^Though perhaps if one spent a great amount of time reworking and refining things, it might be different...\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Afterwards~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Conclusion~i =0~!sd br2 120 ;自分の場合も、そのへんの理由から、 ;やっぱり、絵がないと辛いって感じで ;当初の予定より、絵を多めに ;使用してしまうことになってしまいました。 ;（ホントはもっと白・黒だけのつもりだったんですが…）^@^ ^In my case, for those reasons, it was felt to go without artwork so I wound up using more art than I had originally envisioned.

For one thing, two translators worked nearly independently of each other on this piece. For another, whether you choose to go with the voiced or the unvoiced version makes a huge difference. For you see, Tomo Kataoka originally wrote this piece with the intention of introducing dilemmas that are generally not explored -- although the powerful potential has probably always existed -- in this particular genre of (slightly-)interactive entertainment.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Translator's Note (gp32)~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^We feel relatively justified in our choice to make it such that the voiced version should have one translator, and the unvoiced version should have another. The results are divergent in more than one way: at the trivial level, Peter's British, and I'm trained in American English.^@^ br ^But beyond that, I find that our two versions read quite differently -- in some ways, radically so. At the same time, I feel that there is no incongruity in my saying that both versions are equally faithful to the text. So do as Tomo Kataoka suggests -- read the voiced version and then the unvoiced version (or vice versa, as per your preference) -- and see if you don't come away with a more complete understanding of the piece than you would have been afforded otherwise.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Translator's Note (gp32)~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^For all the budding translators out there: it may be instructive to depack 0.txt from nscript.dat~%90~*~=0~ and see for yourself some of the different ways that two different translators might tackle the same sentence.

I have a certain amount of sympathy for that view, particularly when the game's text uses the least foreigner-friendly script in the world.

The original scripts from back when Haeleth and gp32 released their version back in 2005 is still intact.^@^ br ^gp32's version should be exactly as it was in that 2005 release. br ^Haeleth's version is also from that release, but we both went through it again and corrected a number of errors and style issues that we identified. br ^My own version is essentially a re-translation from scratch.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Translator's Note (Agilis)~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^Back in 2005, on pretty much a whim during graduate studies, I thrust my head into being a visual novel translator. Not knowing up from down, I had picked Narcissu, and was working independantly writing into a simple RTF file. I didn't even have any intention of making a patch, just a simple book-like thing to give to a few friends.^@^ br ^The end result is still available on my site, frozen in a snapshot, complete with the huge amounts of gross translation errors I've comitted in those days. I leave them up as something of a reminder of how bad I was back then, and how far I still have to go even now.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Translator's Note (Agilis)~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^I had my old work lying around as scripts which I could have inserted in here, but ultimately, I had made too many errors and was writing in a style targetting a different medium. It was easier to not have to ``correct'' all the old, and just build it again from the ground up, using the skills and experience I had gained since then.^@^ br ^One advantage of this was that by this point, I've had worked on the script off and on for over 3 years now, and had already spent many hours pondering on scenes, imagery, wording. All that prior thinking made the new translation process that much smoother, and hopefully the end result that much better.\ ^!s0~i %120 x-20 y-40~ Translator's Note (Agilis)~i =0~!sd br2 120 ^I'm sure that in a few years, I'll look back at this work and find a million things that could make it even better.

No such direct repetition is possible in my translation because the first "It was the time of year" has to be interrupted by the "still", which can't be repeated.

Unless I'm mistaken, the ambiguity does exist in the japanese, though the english rendering leans towards the 'wrong' interpretation more than the original, while the '人' makes it go the other way. still, I'm loathe to sacrifice the loss of it ;== I'm not quite convinced there's any significant ambiguity there in the Japanese. Certainly not for the reader, who will recognise 優しくて良い人だからよ as a direct quotation of Himeko's words. And I don't think it's really ambiguous for Chihiro either, is it? -- she must realise Setsumi wouldn't say such a thing of herself. ;-- while I agree with that readers whould recognize it as Himeko's words, I don't think Chihiro would automatically realize that Setsumi wouldn't say such a thing about herself. It should require her half a moment's confusion to orient herself since the line falls out of thin air after she's wondering about Setsumi. if you pull out the reference to Himeko's words, which Chihiro never heard, and just come to the sentence without too much character context (since Chihiro doesn't really know Setsumi well) then I'd like to believe it's the sort of parsing mistake that would pop up... ;== Okay, I see what you're saying now.
