this entry is of life-shattering importance

[antoj]

does anyone on my flist know japanese/kanji and would be willing to help me translate something? I:

i don't have it yet... BUT I WILL SOON cuz i am a giant nerd as soon as i sell like 2 more of my games i will have enough game-sold munz to buy the japanese version of infamous.

AND YES I KNOW IT'S ONLY SUBTITLED......!

but i want to re-translate the subtitles back into english to see if there are any hidden lulz.

if not, how can i look up what kanji means? :\ I can probs translate the hirigana enough to slap it through a google translate (AND GET LULZ LIKE "Call McGrath have the ability to kick a bomb explosion deliveries.") but idk how to read kanji because i am a nub.

also i just wanted to say for the record i feel lied to by sucker punch. ): (spoilers: nothing happened)

which is why i will send them me having 4 different copies of their game when i get the japanese version. i try too hard on everything shut up

also is the australian version of the game different from the EU/NA one? :D

I know the kanji for "fire"... if that counts for anything. >_>

Good luck on finding a translator. If you do find a translation site for kanji, could you let me know?

i doubt the australian version is different unless they CENSORED IT DUE TO OUR LACK OF AN R18+ RATING *INSERT RAEG ABOUT MICHAEL ATKINSON HERE*

but it's only rated M so it wouldn't be

idk unless you want one with... the australian ratings logo. :'D

Ahh, I've completely forgotten everything from my japanese classes except for some hiragana and katakana :/ jisho.org can probably help you out, though. D:

It's pretty easy to figure out what a kanji is if you can point out the radicals... :O spoilers: I cannot. My bro knows that shit but I DOUBT HE'D WANNA HELP... FFFF.

Most games have hiraganas above the kanjis in subtitles so hopefully this will be the same. D: OTHERWISE... idk. :C

Random stalking! I am lazy and probably don't want to go through all the trouble of doing a whole translation job unless you want to commission 8D; but, if you want to do it by yourself as far as kanji goes, you want this! Denshi Jisho Kanji by Radical (http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/)

Basically, radicals are the little parts that make up the kanji. So, for example, if you want to find out what the kanji 路 means, you would go into that, click on the picture 足、夂、and 口, and voila! it will give you a link to all the info about the kanji, and you can click "words containing" or "words beginning with" to look it up. (This one actually narrows it down by radical, so as you click, the possible words will be narrowed down as well.)
