chunks of text missing?

[Quark]

some parts of the text seem to be untranslated and are rendered as a bunch of question marks. first found an instance of this during day fourteen of saber's route. has anyone else had this issue with a line not rendering in english text? are there other instances of this? does anyone know a way to get around it, or are there mods to fix it?

its a game script issue, they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and hardcoded the string to always be japanese.

i'm not aware of any other instances of this, I think this might be the only one.

at least it's only the one line, but it's still pretty embarrassing for a supposedly professional localization to miss something as big as that lol. you can never expect much from aniplex in the way of quality though

hopefully a method of fixing it pops up soon, i was looking forward to reading this together with some friends at some point and would prefer they get the full experience

yeah, fixing it is definitely possible, but just releasing a small mod to fix a couple typos is probably not worth it

so if there's gonna be a mod, it'll be part of a larger patch. because there sure are a lot of typos in the scripts

good to know im not the only person who came across this, for now it just seems like you're going to need to look up the scenes from older versions to get the gist of the missing line

here's the text for it from this version.

spoilers, obviously
Those few knights who remained loyal to her, died. The only two left standing in the end were the king and her son, Mordred.

I feel like I remembered it showing up properly translated in the log, too, so that's weird.

i actually checked when it happened to me and all that was there was a blank line you could select in the log

nah, it shouldnt have showed up

what they did is, they, for some reason, commented out the localized line (they have system where all lines with $$$message$$$ get replaced by the lang you're using) and only left the Japanese line in the script file.

so this one line in the game is just hardcoded to be Japanese. I assume someone just messed up while debugging something.

Aniplex doesn't translate scripts in house. They send them off to a third party to do that who then sends the scripts back when they are done. Aniplex hasn't done translation work in house for a good while.
