Translation Variants #1

Open zklm opened 4 years ago

Basic idea would be to have multiple translations available for each chapter. There could be a variant for original (no modification) TLs and another variant for TLs which have consistency modifications. This would then allow the user to choose which TL variant they want to use for each VN by exposing some config options in userscript/standalone/etc.

Method 1 - Split Directories e.g. /en/xml/{translator}/{variant}/ Reliable but leads to lots of duplication

Method 2 - Custom XML Structure

<speak chara="_Shakespeare" original="...「Destiny」? 「Valkyrie」? What's that?">
    ...「Schicksal」? 「Valkyrie」? What's that?
</speak>

Cleanest method, but some of the VN's JS would have to be customized for variant translations to be loadable.

Hi zklm, I'm very interested in your project and your translation variants idea. I also want to suggest that you should extend your work to other languages. Since I've already translated some of the chapters in Seven Swords into Vietnamese up to now. It would be great if I can add my translation to your fantastic work. Looking forward to hearing from you.
