Japanese Translation Overhaul
Dead as Disco には元から日本語訳が存在していますが、原文のニュアンスを十分に汲み取れていない機械翻訳調の文章が目立ち、口調や固有名詞にもばらつきがあります。
本 MOD では英語原文を基準に、キャラクター性や世界観、会話の前後関係を踏まえて日本語テキストを見直しました。特に台詞や物語に関わる文章は広範囲に再翻訳し、各キャラクターの人物像や物語上のニュアンスが日本語でも読み取れるよう調整しています。
Dead as Disco already includes a Japanese localization, but many lines read like machine translation and fail to convey the nuance of the original English. Character and proper names are also inconsistent in places.
This mod revises the Japanese text based on the original English, while taking characterisation, worldbuilding, and conversational context into account. Dialogue and story-relevant text in particular have been extensively retranslated so that each character's personality and narrative nuances come through more naturally in Japanese.
