Need help translating.


Mr. Krystal

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to translate 4 speech parts of Krystal from Dino to English. Since I only have the audio, I can't just read the text. All my efforts have failed, I just don't have the ear for it. Any help deciphering the words would be appreciated:

Galleon:

Between "The CloudRunner told me about you, the evil General." and "Bad luck, General. Maybe next time!"

Talking to someone on the Gallon. From tone of voice, it may be to the small, caged dino near Scales' cabin. This character also has a speaking part that was not used.

MP3

Syllables:

Ah Loo Vey Ka Roop Voo Cad Oo Rek Ke Ash ("Voo" sounds like "Poo" at normal speed)

Sounds Like:

Alu vay karoot poocad urick keeash

Alu veh caroop pucad ooric ciash

Krazoa Palace (Part 1):

After "I wonder if this is where the distress signal is coming from?" and before "Was it you that sent the distress signal?"

From the name, it appears that she is speaking to someone outside the Krazoa Palace (before she goes inside).

MP3

Syllables:

Am wich u kay se as ba ga to

Krazoa Palace (Part 2):

At some point afterward, but before the end of the game, Krystal says two phrases that are quick, maybe two or three words long.

MP3

1. Syllables:

Shay newk dan

MP3

2. Syllables:

Ek tay ak

Problem is, they don't always speek it how it sounds. For example "the" routinely gets spoken as "kay-oh", even though it would be spelt "kxo". Not that you could easilly pronounce "kxo", but that's the kind of problem you face.

Currently, this is the only one I can get with any kind of certainty:

A'cc te ak = I'll do it

First one:

Alo wek u rut voocadw ureik kxaj

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

Second one (not 100% sure on this):

Am weadw ke xout adjato

"I'm going to head inside."

Third one:

Je nxuk den

"So, what now?"

Fourth one:

Acc te ak

"I'll do it"

The trick is don't go for every single word. Figure out what the main words are and they'll pretty much give away everything else. Then check it. Having a translation program helps, as it removes the manual letter-by-letter hand translation.

Pronuciation rules obviously exsist for dino, but I don't think they have been published.

Thanks! That's all I needed translated. I'm working on a web-based translation program. Let you know how it comes out.

What are you writing it in? php? Perl? ASP.NET?

I've written one in Bash script before. Of course that's UNIX-only and not web.

:lol::lol::lol:

You aren't paying much attention are you? I already posted it on the fanwork section: http://localhost/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=967. Yes, it's in PHP, but it was originally made in perl. I'm having some trouble with ', ", and characters. Maybe you can help?

I took a php class this semester (finals week already :twisted: ), so I may be able to help.

What kind of trouble are you having with the quotes?

Do you have an aim address, I could discuss it directly. This really isn't the place for it since, I think, this topic should die now that the topic has been accomplished.

Thanks, but I already have a way to translate the text, I just couldn't tell what they were saying on the audio.

I think he hacked into an SFAd ROM or something. That's probably why he has no subtitles.

That's it exactly. And, I'm going to drop a little hint here and say, expect something special, related to this, coming soon.
