Celeste Irish Translation, Update #5

It is good day to be not AI!

Wasn't in much of a drawing mood today, but I still wanted to put something out. So here's a quick drawing of my kitty as a lil' goober, their name is Josie :)

saw this in an epiphany

This little guy popped into my head today and I had to draw him. Hope he makes your day better.

Think I might start a collection

I was genuinely having an awful day today and ngl the booping turned it right around. I love this so much. (Just in case you haven't seen my previous post, I am very much open to spam booping please and thank you.)

Howdy folks! I got bored, and wanted a way to improve my Irish skills, so I decided to start TRANSlating the game Celeste into Irish!

I started the project yesterday (2nd of August as of writing) after discovering just how easy the game is to translate.

Right now, I've only got the opening text, main menu and base settings page complete. I'm gonna keep working on this whenever I can, and I'll provide updates along the way!

Additionally, I want to make it clear that I am not fluent in Irish (Pretty far from it tbh) and I started this project to help improve my skills while engaging with something I love. With that in mind, I can't guarantee that all the translations will be perfect and there'll probably be a good few mistakes around, I'm just doin' my best out here.

Finally, I might release a demo every now and again for anyone who's interested, if you wanna follow my progress, actually check out the translation if you know any Irish, or just go "hehe" at the funny words you can't pronounce or know the meaning of, I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm planning to release something when all the menus are translated and chapter one is complete.

Stay safe and have a good one!

Where did he get that shirt. I need it for like, everything I'll ever do.

Only the whole number 4 no longer exists. Numbers which contain what was previously four, such as 44 or 2.4 are fair game, as they in themselves are not equal to 4*.

*As in the past tense. Given that no number can be equal to 4 on account of the fact that the number doesn't currently exist and for the foreseeable future.

In short, yes. Please also note that any numbers that contain what was previously four will now be referred to as three(two). For example 14 = Thirtwoteen

!!! NUMERICAL ALERT !!! The number 137 has CHANGED. It is now 174.

!!! NUMERICAL ALERT !!!

Celeste Irish translation, update #3

Hey again folks! It's been almost a week since I last posted, but I'm glad to say that I'm feeling a lot better now and slowly getting back into my usual routine after gettin' real sick. That aside, now that I'm feeling better, I will be resuming work on the project! I wanted to provide a quick overview of how this entire thing is being done, so here it is:

Pretty simple stuff, all of the game's text is stored in a single text file in the game files. Everything near the top of the file is used for things such as menus and UI. The bottom half (With the dividing line) is where all the in-game dialogue is stored. Given how the file is formatted, I'll be doing all the non-dialogue stuff first, I also have no intention of making any texture changes, as they are not done in any other language (with the exception of Japanese in some places). Plus, I don't really have the technical know-how to get the game to swap textures depending on language :,) All that being said, I'm hoping to release something soon and I would like to gradually release more and more of the translation as I work on it for y'all to see where I'm at and potentially provide feedback! On the topic of feedback, I've also been thinking about opening an email for it when I release the first build, so that anyone more knowledgeable than me can correct my mistakes (which there will most definitely be!). The first build I put out is going to be a complete non-dialogue translation, pretty much everything in terms of menus and UI will be finished. After polishing that up a little, I'll move onto the dialogue. Anyways, that's all I had to say for this update, apologies for the long post and lack of stuff to show, I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things and I hope you'll all enjoy what I put out. Stay safe and have a good one!
