Hi everyone,
I introduce myself: I am Jenbrother and I apologize already.
I know I will not be able to do a professional translation.
The reasons are many:
- I work alone by choice and necessity
- I’m not a professional translator
- I have a limited knowledge of the Japanese language, although refined in the years of hard amateur work
-The Harlem Blade internal code is really … complex.
Although today we aim at standardization, in 1996 everyone had their own proprietary protocols, including video games.
To make it very short and without going into technicalities, I am translating the game with strong limitations.
I must respect the length of the original text and then make a large adaptation to the original text, as well as distorting the punctuation to avoid incurring graphic bugs.
Aware of these limitations I invite you to stay tuned, the work proceeds well and the motivation is not lacking.
I am working on the NEC PC9801 version of the game released in 1996, with the intention of adapting this translation also for the Microsoft WIndows version of Harlem Blade.
I conclude by reminding you that the English translation of Harlem Blade is a non-profit amateur work.
