Project Threepio (Star Wars OOT subtitles) — Page 8

Project files have been updated to version 6.1 (original post has been updated as well). Please PM me for the temporary download links until the files are available in a more permanent location.

Rough summary of changes:

- Added Cantonese (scaled/verified), and promoted Mandarin/traditional from unverified to scaled/verified--big thanks to Laserman and none for this!

- Minor quality improvements to other scaled subtitles (Japanese and Thai).  Honestly probably not that different from 6.0.

That's it!  No changes from 6.0 for any other languages, or any text-derived subtitles at all.

If anyone is planning any exciting global travel, there were strong indications in another thread that there were GOUT releases in Greece, Turkey, and Russia.  I also speculate that there may also have been releases in South Korea and Israel, perhaps elsewhere.  Any of these would be in a good position to help us out with a number of our not-so-well-supported languages.

Now seeding at the spleen :)

Thanks--could you nuke the 5.1 torrent?  That version really does have some problems I'd rather not have floating out there.

Also, apparently version 6.1 got in under the wire to be included in Despecialized 2.5, so hurray for that! My metal body was fast enough, after all!

It must have been close!

If you knew the speed and quality of my Internet connection, you'd be even more amazed...

Yeah, my uploads weren't exactly speedy either, if you were in the same country I could have walked them there faster :)

I'm still working on ESB and ROTJ Polish subs - I'd say I'm halfway through. :) I can PM you with links to the rest if you want.

Okay, since the Polish updates are still not trilogy-complete, but we now have verified subtitles for ESB, I'm doing something a little different.  Rather than incrementing the whole project version for this, I'm just making a "Polish Language Pack" available as a separate download.  Then when we get updates for the whole trilogy (and hopefully Indonesian subtitles as well), THEN I'll increment the project version.

We'll see.  This is a bit of an experiment.  So if you want the best Polish subs, you'll need to get Project Threepio v6.1 and THEN get the Polish Language Pack for ESB (PM me for links).  I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much.

EDIT: Oh yeah--and thanks to Feallan for his continued help with this.

The Polish pack now includes minor updates to the Star Wars subtitles, so if you want Polish subs, this is what you want to use for now.

The problem is/was that I don't have a very well-defined set of style guidelines for subtitle submissions, and some of them (maximum line length and maximum number of lines) are really important for good-looking graphical subtitles.  I was able to correct the ones I had without knowing Polish (and Jedi doesn't have many long lines so I'm not concerned about it), but when I do push out the next version of the project, it will have a set of basic instructions for making subtitles, with style guidelines and better subtitle templates (instead of having to use the English full subs as templates, which can lead to a few other problems).

PM sent!

Does anyone have any recommendations for file hosting services?

My requirements:

1) Web-based upload and download, no client required.

2) Anonymous downloads permitted.

3) Not too obnoxious with the ad and attempts to get you to download software (iLivid, etc).

4) Decent file sizes permitted for non-paid accounts.

I know I'm probably a few years too late on this bandwagon, but Rapidshare just got too obnoxious to use anymore.

I would recommend Google Drive, it seems to fit all your requirements.

Thanks, I'm testing this out now.

FWIW, I got some Latin American Spanish subtitles, but I'm suspicious of them and would like someone to double-check them if possible.

Star Wars and Empire both seem good quality, and mostly match the Castilian subtitles except for the odd word or phrase here and there, as I'd expect.  The problem is that they had a few Special Edition lines in them, and for those, I just copied over the Castilian text.  Jedi is nothing at all like the Castilian text, has Special Edition lines I pasted over, and was missing all of the subtitled lines, which I also pasted over from the Castilian.  I suspect it's not as well-done as the other two.

Anyway, if you're interested in checking these out and offering corrections, let me know.  Incidentally, Latin American Spanish has the weirdest language code so far: es-419.  The UN apparently has numerical designations for super-national regions, and 419 is the one for Latin America and the Caribbean.  The source for these files is Argentine, but I'd like them to be as "neutral" as possible.

Heh, I usually use more specific terms like "es_MX" (most Latino Spanish dubs) or "es_VE" (Batman TAS) or "es_CL" (I've got some translated anime songs that were recorded in Chile), or very rarely "es_US"...

Haven't ever heard before of a generic abbreviation for Latino Spanish o.O;

I opted for es-419 over es-ar for kinda the same reasons I opted for zh-yue over zh-hk for Cantonese.  Languages don't stop at political borders (some moreso than others), and if there's a code that reflects that, I'll use it.

But yeah, it's odd, but apparently it's a real code.  And at least according to the Internet, it's possible to do "neutral" non-country-specific American Spanish, and that's what I want for these if possible.  They might not be there yet ;)

:)

Also, Polish audio is now on Myspleen.

FWIW, the MySpleen thread is here, for this project and other goodies.
