Narcissu Editing Guidelines

Comments
Use ; to comment out a line of text. When you translate a line, comment out the Japanese and English text so that we have it for reference. ;あんなにうるさかった蝉が鳴き止む頃. \ ;It was about the time of year when the cicadas finally start to shut up.\ `Hampir tiba saatnya Jangkrik untuk berhenti berderik.\ If you want to leave some notes, put them in comments after the English text. ;あんなにうるさかった蝉が鳴き止む頃. \ ;It was about the time of year when the cicadas finally start to shut up.\ ; Nggak yakin kalau hasil terjemahannya seperti ini, tolong dicek ulang! `Hampir tiba saatnya Jangkrik untuk berhenti berderik.\ Take attention in using the comments tag, there is a differences between ( ' ) and ( ` ). If you type the input directly from the keyboard you'll get ' instead of `, this will surely make the program not recognize the line. Make sure you copy ` instead of having it inputed directly. Don't forget to add \ in the end of the line!

I don't know if wheter there is a problem in opening the script if you don't have East Asian Language support in you computer, I recommend you to install East Asial Language support or use an uplocale if you use Microsoft Windows Vista / 7. Don't do so, you'll probably only see subliminal font that you don't recognize.

Name
Do not translate character names. Its obvious isn't it?

Word Wrapping
For the most part, please follow the orginal word wrap format. The inserters will be able to take a long line and automatically perform the necessary word wrapping thought, but we won't get the aesthathic feeling. There are, however, some exceptions.

Location Names
Do not translate location names. Its not nice to see foreign places named in our local form.

Specific Translations
There is some known problem with the 006b.txt and 007c.txt scripts that happenly a big file chunk that can't be uploaded here. So we need to partioned it in smaller parts.

Progress Report
Please note, since I can't upload BOT script that automticaly change the progress count in our progress note. I hope you do the precentage manually (according for the line you've translated in a section). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Discussion Board
You can always start a Discussion in every page needed to discuss something that you'd like to discuss.
