Official Community Translation

Dear fans,

The game is released now, and you have possibility to join the translation of the Finding Paradise. This time we've decided to organize the translation, so all languages will be equal in possibilities to translate.

We recommend you to finish the game before starting translation, or at least watch the let's play, so you will know the context better.

We will use several additional tools that will ease the process for you and for us to implement your language into the game:

Discord. This free chat service already has recommended itself not only as one of the best chat for gamers, it has become a great place for coordination and collaboration. We recommend you to install desktop or mobile version, but you can also use browser version as well. Link to download: https://discordapp.com/
SmartCAT. This is modern free-to-use online CAT-tool (Computer Assisted Translation), which helps to increase translation effectiveness and provides lots of great features to ease the process and manage the translation. It's good for teamwork and lone translators. You can register there by yourself as freelancer (https://smartcat.ai) or wait till we register you.

Please join our Discord server https://discord.gg/qfDhhvu. There you will find all instructions regarding registration, information about the process, tips, solutions. Also this is a possibility to meet many translators from your or other languages.

If you are going to use only Google Translate or harm the translation — please pass by. Or Neil will put a roadkill under your pillow:)

Thanks for making the post, Ray!

To the Moon had grown to be community-translated before I knew what was going on, but it worked out well after things were set, because the folks who translated it knew the context of the game and universe more so than a brought-in translation company, and I feel like that may be the best course for Finding Paradise as well.

Once things calm down a bit, I'll be able to help more with setting the infrastructure up as well. And I'd like to work out some compensation for the contribution of folks making this possible, though I believe those who participate in these community projects are fueled by genuine passion about the project regardless.

As for the teams, I think Kyo has Polish covered, and Thunderbird and folks are starting the German project. Wakumei is also starting the French project, though she is seeking help.

Some other folks have contacted me so far as well, and as soon things get a bit less crazy, I'll try to help organize. Thanks everyone!

Hello,
Thunderbird from the German translation team here, everything about the German translation is currently discussed here: http://freebirdgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=6570.0 .
We didn't use SmartCat for the translation of TtM, I will have to take a look if it would make sense to change the workflow used there.
@Kan Is it required for the translation of FP?

@Thunder: It's something that helps for those who'd like, but I'd say if there are other ways that's more suitable on an individual basis, feel free to do it as fit. c:

Yep, it's being worked on as we speak.*

*Figuratively, because it's difficult to translate and write posts at the same time.
