Is it safe to purchase the Five Blooms DLC now?

[DOY]

I'm not really in the loop with this but the recent reviews state that the English translation is incomplete. Is this still the case?

I also want to know if getting this DLC will retroactively enable its content on your current save file or if you require to start a new save.

I dont know about how DLC will affect already existing save, this DLC just adds 5 new girls on random location on the map with their quests. In my opinion DLC worth buying, girls stories ligitimately interesting.
BUT!!! BIG MINUS!!!
Endings of those quests a not translated! Like, you finish girls questlines, they say that they love you and after that nothing is translated.
Its honestly mindboggling, that in our era of free internet translation and basically every second person knowing english, develelopers couldnt spend 5 minutes to translate barely 1 page of dialogs. Amazing

Believe me translation is not as simple as you thought. Even ChatGPT can't give you accurate translation so it is not 5 minutes, it is more like 5 months.

I can agree, that translating to some languages is a bit of a pain. For example if you need to translate from English to lets say, Chinese. You gonna run it on machine translation than find Chinese speaking person to find mistakes. And the only reason its hard is that, you cant understand chinese letters to type into translation software.
But translate to English? Barely one page of dialogs, from their native language? In country where every second graduate knows English?
I speak and freely translate from 2 languages in my head, while my English is self learned. I been reading not translated visual novels, from Japanise via software. Translating is not hard.
Developers must have atleast one person in the team, who knows english. Its kinda required for programming, most of the time. They could ask them- "Hey. how to say "I love you" in English?" or something.
So, no. 5 minutes, is kinda accurate imo.
Besides, lets not forget that on Steam page, game/DLC advertised as translated to english. If you want to sell product, then finish it before releasing it.

I took part in translation work of another chinese game similar to this one and I can tell you it is not only the problem of translating something that you can't find counterpart in English but also software hard-limitation because Devs never thought about publishing this game to foreigners at very first. The game UI is designed too compact to accumulate enough English words for proper-translating. You have to cut it short and simple as hard as you can and even more.

So, No, Impossible, Not Even anyone can do it in 5 minutes.

Well, I don agree. Just to see, if I could, I translated some text myself, from photo, via Yandex translate. Spent like 5 minutes.
If you go to Russian discord for this game, they translated entire game to Russian, via integrating google translate with the game. Can be done by dropping couple of files into directory. It have mistakes, but you can understand the gist of it atl.
If some randoms can do it, what excuse devs have? So, no. But not gonna argue anymore.
Regardless, we can agree, that devs should not release unfinished product, no? I dont see, why we even arguing about it.
Would you buy story based game, that not translated in most important parts?
Finish game first, then sell it.

I use a unity addon in game that auto translates the text highly recommend, it'll just auto translate from google or whatever translator you want. keeps the same text format, font, etc. usually takes like 1 second to hover over an item or text and it'll translate auto for you

If so, where is this amazing auto translator you speak of? Sounds like a game changer for a lot of games.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I use the one detailed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TaleofImmortal/comments/14u4oy6/autotranslate_chinese_mods_to_your_home_language/ And it works pretty well!

yurei is totaly right here they could ask every stupid student to translate it give them some money for it and it would be fine, the point that its still not translated or at the release of the dlc is just stupid, they litllary lost money because of that
