Attention bilingual (and multilingual) Rakuen fans: Would you like to help translate Rakuen into your language? We now have an official team managing the process! If you’d like to join, Andrii (the translation lead, who also organized the "Finding Paradise" translations) explains how to sign up in the quote below. Thanks so much for your help everyone^^
Dear fans,
We are extremely glad that so many people want to see Rakuen in their language. That's why we decided to help you and ease all processes, so you can focus on translation.
Currently the game is already translated into Italian, Spanish, Korean and Chinese (Simplified), but all other languages are welcome.
Here is the form to register into translation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0BWr-eZ0zsPRptlcf2nf_E8AiF6L6aiu-JcASxMHN7j3waA/viewform?usp=sf_link
We will use SmartCAT (free online tool) for translation and Discord for communication.
If you're a registered in SmartCAT member, please use the same email and name, I will simply add you to the project.
If you're new user to SmartCAT, please write correct email as you will receive an invitation there. It's better to have ...gmail.com as some email providers do not receive notifications or consider it as a spam.
And here is a link to 'The Leeble Forest' Discord channel, where we will communicate: https://discordapp.com/invite/PDS3ctg
You will see only general channels and welcome page from Translation category, but after submitting the form above you will receive correspondent role and will see instructions and separate language channels.
And please be patient if you don't receive notifications and roles immediately, we will try to do it ASAP.
Get out of the way, Minimori...
Can you believe that it's been almost one year since Rakuen was released? We have some exciting stuff coming up for the one year anniversary (including a contest, updates about new translations and more)! But until then, please enjoy another tiny preview of our upcoming animation project at the link below:
Happy Saturday folks! Here's a teaser of something we've been working on, hehe ^^
p.s. For those who have played Rakuen, can you guess where this is? :)
Rakuen is now available in Chinese, Italian, Korean and Spanish!
Localizations for the following languages are now available for Rakuen:
-Chinese (Simplified)
-Italian
-Korean
-Spanish
Just right-click the game in Steam, choose "Properties" and go the "Language Tab." From here you can change to the language of your choice! A big "thank-you" to everyone who made this effort possible^^
Will Rakuen be translated into (insert language)?
Currently, Rakuen is being translated into Japanese and Portuguese. Of course, we'd love to release the game in as many languages as possible, so if you'd like to help translate Rakuen into your language, please let us know at the Translation thread, or visit the Discord server for more details!
Rakuen and VGM Livestream
Do you guys remember Moonbowmusicmovie? (the really talented Japanese musicians who do video game covers on youtube) I'm joining them right now on youtube for a Livestream~! They're currently performing a variety of songs (from games like Chrono Trigger and Persona 5), and will be continuing their playthrough of Rakuen in a few minutes. Come hang out and chat with us! ^_^/
Puchi would like me to tell you that 2018 is the Year of the Dog, so if you have a special doggie-friend, make sure to give them a big hug^^
Also, folks always ask how they can help get Rakuen out to more people. One of the best and easiest ways is to leave us a Steam a review (even a tiny 1-sentence one would help a lot)! We're so close to 1000 now, so if you enjoyed the game, please consider taking the time to recommend us^^ Every positive review makes a big difference!
Thank-you all, and we wish you a Happy Lunar New Year!
Valentine's Day Cards
We hope you enjoy these Valentine's Day cards featuring Boy/Sue, Kazuko/Kisaburo, and Winston/Gemma ^_^/
How to Participate in the Rakuen Localization Beta!
Attention international fans: I'm excited to announce that thanks to the efforts of our wonderful fan translation teams, Rakuen has been localized into four new languages: Chinese (simplified), Italian, Korean, and Spanish! In order to bring you the best possible translations, we now humbly ask for your help...
For the next two weeks, the new language versions will be available to folks who already have Rakuen in their Steam library. We're looking for a few bilingual fans to help run through the game and report any errors they find. If you're interested in participating in the beta, please read the details below:
How to get the (Chinese/Italian/Korean/Spanish) version:
Step 1: Right click Rakuen in your Steam library -> Properties -> Betas tab -> select 'test - Bugfixes will be tested here first', in the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Under Properties choose the Language tab -> select the language you're testing, and then simply wait for the new Rakuen files to download!
How to Report Errors:
When you're ready to submit your errors, we'd appreciate if you compile them into a single post on the Rakuen Translation thread.
We also have a Discord server where folks can discuss about the new language versions in real time under the #rakuen-chat channel.
Can I help translate Rakuen into (insert language)?
That would be wonderful, thank-you! If you'd like to help us translate Rakuen into your language, please let us know at the Translation thread, or visit the Discord server for more details!
