Zelda's Adventure Remastered - Projet portage & traduction !

[Hrvg]

Do you really think it's necessary to translate the wind directions? I mean... I could, but shoud I?

I thought the letters/symbols came from the TTF or OTF fonts. If you want the game in French... Yes; you have to change the letter W to O.


Je pensais que les lettres/signes venaient des fonts TTF ou OTF.
Si voulez le jeu en frqùançais... Oui; il fqut modifier la lettre W par O.

JappaWakka and Hrvg

Yes, I mixed up East and West. Sorry, I'm tired.
Oui, je me suis trompé entre Est et Ouest. Désolé, je suis fatigué.

Yes, Hrvg is right, whenever possible everything must be translated.
Including the drawings, such as the cardinal points. I know, I know... it's work.



Voici la liste : / Here is the list: https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?c...cxjE2jX75OHIsV


C'est un simple fichier Libre Office avec deux colones. Tout est traduit proprement. J'ai mis un slash lorsque nous hésitons encore entre deux choix.

It’s a simple Libre Office file with two columns. Everything is translated neatly. I put a slash when we are still hesitating between two choices.

JappaWakka, Please I'll let you update the Excel file, because my computer doesn't like Google links, so it messes up.

Je pense qu’il y aura des images très dures, voire impossibles à traduire. Je parle des panneaux d’indication avec le nom des lieux. Ça semble très petit et parfois en diagonale.

I think there will be some very harsh images, even impossible to translate. I'm talking about the signs with the names of places. It seems very small and sometimes diagonal.

Avant de traduire les dialogues, j’aimerais préparer "dégrossir" le jeu. C’est-à-dire terminer les menus, finaliser le tutoriel et définir les images qui peuvent ou ne peuvent pas être traduites. Cela me semble important.

Before translating the dialogues, I would like to prepare and "rough out" the game. That is to say, finish the menus, finalise the tutorial, and define the images that can or cannot be translated. That seems important to me.

Here are the rest of the map names


And here is the exit menu with the longer translations

EDIT : Threepwang, également dans ton UI String.odt (il s'agit d'une direction, non ?).

Good catch
Also, apparently removing the letters from the compass was easier than I thought, badabim badaboom:

How did you change the letter W into an O?


Comment as-tu fais pour changer la lettre W en O ?

Ah, well in photoshop I used the... what was that tool called again lemme check.... ah, the "spot healing brush tool" to carefully erase all the existing letters (in Dutch, South is Zuid, so I thought I'd just erase all of them just to be sure).
I also just saw that the images have more than 256 colors, lemme fix that. I want to keep the amount of colors to that 256 color limit as much as possible.
But I quickly realized that the font is pretty much the same as the map title in the top left, but 1 pt larger, so after that I just had to draw the new letters roughly in the same spot using code in GameMaker.

EDIT: Voila! The world/shrine map backgrounds now use max 252 colors apparently lol

I thank you for your reply. I thought that images (maps, menus or other) used TTF or OTF fonts, because the letters are drawn as they appear in the images.

Je te remercie pour ta réponse. Je pensais que les images (carte, menus ou autres) se servaient des fonts TTF ou OTF, car les lettres sont dessinées comme sur les images.

Through reverse font searching, I found the exact fonts used in Zelda's Adventure for the UI. In GameMaker, I select those fonts, and upon build, GameMaker turns them into Font Images, which look somewhat like in this preview:

I need to make a separate font asset for each size, because as I just found out, scaling a font down doesn't work as well as scaling a font up. I might also have to create 2 additional font assets to use on lower window sizes than 3x because subtitles are more readable when the font scale is as high as it can be.
Apparently I also messed up the scale calculations for the subtitle font because on lower resolutions, the subtitles are huge!

I have trouble understanding... For example, the letter W that you replaced with the letter O. Did you draw that letter O, or did the letter come from a font?

J'ai du mal à comprendre... Par exemple, la lettre W que tu as remplacé par la lettre O. As-tu dessiné cette lettre O ou la lettre vient d'une font ?

Sorry for the confusion. It was a letter from the font. "Drawing" in game development usually means taking something (text, an image, or even a 3d model if a game has that etc.) and displaying that onto the screen.
Btw, just fixed the issue of the Remastered Mode tooltip and subtitles being scaled incorrectly. It required me to now have 6 copies of the "subtitle font" asset for each possible window resolution lol. Luckily they're very small in filesize so it's not a problem I think.
I still need to check what happens to the subtitles when I turn on Full Screen mode. Haven't tested that out yet.

Salut les amis, j'arrive ce matin et je vois que ça avance à grand pas ! C'est vraiment bien !
Hi friends, I arrive this morning and I see that it's moving forward at a great pace! It's really great!

JappaWakka As Stamparade said, you need to add an "e" to "droite" because "flèche/Arrow" is feminine in French.
Comme l'a dit Stamparade, Il faut mettre un "e" à "droite", car c'est "flèche" c'est féminin en français.



Le menu SAUVEGARDER est parfait !!
The SAUVEGARDER menu is perfect!!

Les points cardinaux en français sont également parfait !! Je suis content de valider le verbe Sauvegarder dans la traduction.

The cardinal directions in French are also perfect!! I am happy to approve the verb Save in the translation.


Je m'excuse, mais serait-il possible de mettre les articles définis à gauche de Temple et non en haut à droite.
C'est pour aligner le texte. C'est mieux en français. Pardon d'être aussi pointilleux

I apologise, but would it be possible to put the definite articles to the left of Temple and not at the top right?
It's to align the text. It's better in French. Sorry for being so picky

Temple
de l'Illusion

Temple
de l'Air

Temple
du Destin

Temple
de l'Eau

Temple
de la Force

Temple
du Feu

Sur les conseils de Stamparade et Hrvg et aussi pour une question de place, j'ai harmonisé la traduction du fichier :
On the advice of Stamparade and Hrvg, and also due to space constraints, I have harmonised the translation of the file:
Temple de la Force
Temple du Feu
Carte de la Force
Carte du Feu
Boussole de la Force
Boussole du Feu

Il ne reste que deux choix à vérifier. Dans le menu ‘Setting Game’, il y a une option ‘Remastered Mode’ et en dessous, ‘Subtitles/Sous-titres’. Il faut valider par ‘Off’ ou ‘On’ en anglais, mais pour le français, que préférez-vous : ‘Avec’ et ‘Sans’ ou ‘Oui’ et ‘Non’ ?

Après cela, nous aurons terminé les menus !
After that, we will have finished the menus!

Merci à vous, l'avis des membres de l'ATP est un plus

Bonjour à tous, je vais revenir lundi. Vous n'avez plus besoin de mes fichiers
en rapport avec les fichiers du dossier Cutscenes ? Et en parlant de dossiers,
je vais procéder par dossiers (pour les srt et les fichiers audio) pour être sûr de
ne rien oublier.

Hello everyone, I'll be back on Monday. Do you still need my files related to the
files in the Cutscenes folder? And speaking of folders, I'll proceed by folder (for the
srt and audio files) to make sure I don't forget anything.

Salut Ulyssom,

J’ai déjà tes fichiers cutscènes, il y en avait deux : Cutscene_Intro_fr.srt et Cutscene_Shrine_Earth_fr.
J’ai vérifié les deux, donc c’est bon.

Ok, tu as raison de procéder par étapes. Tu peux également prendre l’ordre chronologique du script en ligne.
Mais attention tout de même, car ce script contient apparemment des erreurs de transcription.

Je te souhaite un bon weekend
