UmaTL November

Hey everyone!

We've been looking at the survey results with interest, there were a few unexpected stats! It makes us happy that you seem to be enjoying our work though. The survey will run for another week before we draw our final conclusions from it, so take your chance to fill it out if you haven't yet!

When it comes to polls/requests, there were a few answers in the survey which we'll be basing ourselve...

UmaTL Update

Hey everyone, the token has updated early this time and the current one will no longer work. The new one should hopefully last through november though! You can find the URL in the options, that's probably how it will be done for the time being.

UmaTL survey

The team would like to know how you're all using and enjoying UmaTL, what you expect from it, and how you see it continuing. Parts of the survey also function somewhat as a poll, so please take some time to fill it out!

UmaTL October

Umadachi, it is spooky month! We here at UmaTL are prepped to pop out from under desks with translations at the most inopportune times! The team has found some extra motivation lately, in large part thanks to your continued support. This has also caused a few shifts and improvements to the way we work and organize, meaning we'll be able to deliver translations more efficiently so expect to see a nice amount of content coming through. As part of this, we'll be taking up the currently ongoing h...

UmaTL September update

Back to months flying by it seems. Hope rolls have treated you well and you're enjoying the new scenario. Personally I haven't managed to play it yet, so some of the translations might be on the wonky side. Apologies. I sort of completely forgot about anniv and that's affected the schedule a bit but it's not too bad, all in all. Ines will be wrapped up soon and you can look forward to a small surprise in a little while too. Tazuna will follow and then, maybe card stories?

Meanwhile, if ...

UmaTL August update

Hello umadachi. I hope you liked UmaSpot! I know it's been a bit of a slow month otherwise, I'm sorry. I decided (a little too late) to shelf any code changes for the moment and focus on just getting some translations out. The changes will find their way in later! Valentine event should have the final chapter done tomorrow probably, and then be out after proofreading.

The poll wasn't very conclusive, but 3...

UmaTL Poll for august

I'm still a little delayed on story translations due to code (and irl) distractions, but the 2023 valentine event should be out by end of the month, or very early next month.

Meanwhile, here's the poll for what happens after that! For now polls will be limited to already planned (and often started) work as there is a lot, but we will have full suggestion rounds later on.

Introducing Uma Translation Spotlight

Hey everyone, I bring you something a little different this time. 

Translation is rarely an exact science and can pose a tricky challenge in bridging cultural gaps. This is not at all helped here by cygames' penchant for wordplays and finding the most diverse references. 

I am starting a small series on the side in which I will highlight specific instances where Japanese doesn't transfer so smoothly, niche references are made, or simply interesting tidbits, providing the...

July update

Well that month felt like it went even faster.

I ended up stating a lot of the updates in the tl server but to summarize quickly: mdb updates go pretty fast now, a bunch of smaller things were fixed or tweaked, and a lot of prep work is ongoing on the technical side of things to keep stuff running smoothly into the foreseeable future. Oh yes, Hat on your head! has a translation now, you can find it in the translations-extra folder where I'll also be adding othe...

June update

It's strange to think a whole month has passed already but here we are. How have things gone to you? Feel free to share your comments with me here or in DM! It's still an experiment I'm trying to balance.

I haven't gotten as much done as would have liked as I've been rather busy but UmaTL did keep up with game updates and some internal tools were updated, which should help a few things going forwards. And I got some of the management issues out of the way, so that's always nice. Work on...

May update

If all goes well I'll be posting this once a month to inform everyone of updates and news, if there are any.

I'll also be posting the supporter's access here. As I mentioned before, there may not be much to start with and I'm not entirely sure how exactly to approach it yet but I'll likely be spending much of the time I can spend on the patch here for now.

To access the Supporters Edition:

First time setup:
1) Make sure you're on the latest version of the patch by using ...

UmaTL Supporters Edition

Hello everyone!
Thank you for supporting the continuation of the project and the work that has gone into it. It's thanks to you that I am still here, and I want to try to give you something to look forward to.

I have therefore opened a separate branch that is accessible only to you, and where I will be putting most new work (videos and the like will also be posted here on Patreon). I apologize if there isn't much immediately, but you will be able to enjoy any that is, on top of the c...
