Excited to announce that I was a translator for the official English release of HimaNatsu! Easily one of my favourite titles Makura have ever put out. I can't wait for all of you to be able to spend one final summer in Oboshiro Village.
📢 We are proud to announce that we will be releasing HimaNatsu: Of Churches, Sunflowers, and Long Summers by Makura on 9/10! This title will be available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese! Upon learning that his childhood church is scheduled to close down, college student Yosuke Ashitaba returns to the rural fishing village of Oboshiro. There, he reunites with his childhood friends, all fellow members of the Oboshiro Choir Squad. Now reunited, the group do their best to make their last summer together one they won't forget.

Hope people enjoy! Would like to say that I wholeheartedly support the team's translation. It's fantastic stuff that I feel does justice to the characters and story of Sakura no Uta perfectly. (Also having helped with it myself I can promise a mountain of care has gone into it)

Oh, you can tell how much effort and care was put into it by the fact this famous bit of wordplay at the start of the game comes across like random nonsense in English.

I'm trying to stay out of the discourse surrounding this wave of AI translations as of late but it's hard to when decisions like this make absolutely no sense.

People want to act like it's reached a level where it's surpassed human translation and that's just not the case. Every piece of evidence that's been shown to me to try and prove AI TLs are good has just reinforced my apathy towards them. They're just not well done.

“Son, you’re 8 years old now so dad has to leave to go on an important trip.” “Oh no, that’s so sad! I’m only 8 years old! Where are you going?” “I’m going to walk around the world” “Wow! That’s a long trip! I’m only 8 years old and you’re my father. Are you sure it’s more important than me, your 8 year old son?” “It is, but I’m not going to do it all at once. That’s crazy, I’ll take breaks. I’ll leave and come back to it.” “Oh good, so I’ll be able to see you! That’s a relief, I’m 8 years old and need my father.” “What?? No no no. My self-imposed rules mean I can leave, but I can’t return to the UK. So you’re on your own. I’m gonna chill in Mexico and stuff when I’m not heroically and importantly walking around the world.” “Oh. So you’re leaving me, your 8 year old son, to go on a not continuous walk around the globe just because? And I’ll meet you for the first of 4 times when I turn 14, which is necessary because of the rule you set for yourself? So I’ll barely know you? And you’ll miss the birth of your granddaughter?” “Right. Yes. Exactly. I’ll basically be like Magellan. You get it.”

I helped him set up a ko-fi page and am beginning to spread the word while he's at the hospital with his mother. Anything at all will help immensely while he figures this out. Thank you so much for reading and please donate to Martin if you can. ko-fi.com/martinsleith56

An unusual post for this Bishy. I have a friend who is very near and dear to me that I've known for close to a decade at this point. He is one of the kindest and sweetest, most pure-hearted people I've ever had the privilege of knowing.

Fan translations are some of the biggest shows of love I can think of so it really is pretty sad the entire scene is turning into nothing but MTL left and right so fucking fast, that one twitter account makes me so mad
