Title: Looking for someone to translate goemon snes box descriptions.
Post by: Violet Rosery on February 04, 2019, 10:21:24 AM

I am planning to do all 4 main snes goemon covers, I have a bit done on 2 and 3 so far.
Would anyone be interested in translating the back descriptions for the 4 games?
Even a rough translation would be fine, I usually rewrite them varying amounts.
This is all 4 back covers in an album.

Worst case scenario I can come up with new descriptions from various writings on the games online.

But at the very least I need this lantern from the 3rd game translated, so I can put english on it.

I did customs for 2 and 3 and kind of came up with my own back text based on what I could find online summary wise.  I think the text from 2 actually came from a English repo cart / box combo.

I appreciate it, but I would prefer to be closer to the original descriptions if possible. Unless they turn out to be really boring.

LOL yes yes, this is a mistake I make all the time.  English is my primary language and I still can't do it right :P

I've always hated the abbreviation repro.  It just doesn't sound right.

He wants his cart taken away, come on.  It's already bad enough it's being repo'd

No.
It's the repo that sounds wrong:

Repro = Reproduction.  :D
Repo  = Repossession.  :'(

Reminds me of the topic I made on this very subject a while back. I don't really say either abbreviation out loud, though in my head, I tend to say repo.

As an IT person I hate when people swap Disc and Disk.
