'''<i>Sekai Project has released the Clannad visual novel in English.</i>'''
=== Announcements ===
 
With a majority of the CLANNAD translation being done, it's becoming quite clear that simply reading the text will not be enough to fully proofread the game. I'll be giving out compiled SEEN.TXT based on the current content to members of the Translation Team on a request basis, meaning you'll have to contact me on IRC for a build. Full-time editors are also privileged to have these builds.
 
   
  +
The Visual Novel ''Clannad'' is also available in the following languages (Note: Translation progress varies for each version):
It's also come to my attention that others are attempting to compile SEEN.TXT builds. These are '''unofficial''' and will be '''unsupported''' by the project. There are many hacks that have been implemented into the game that will crash in these builds, plus they are not using styling, nor are they using working executables that are guaranteed to work correctly. '''ANY REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT ON THESE UNOFFICIAL BUILDS WILL BE IGNORED.''' --[[User:Velocity7|Velocity7]] 20:18, 20 December 2007 (PST)

Someone is going round posting a translation patch that pretends to be the compiled patch from Baka-Tsuki. '''This patch is not real and is a fake.''' Do not download this patch, as it contains malware that can harm your computer considerably. This malware is approximately 110,592 bytes, MD5: 5aef48e051f11cfe97e8e0f46b3cf05f. --[[User:Velocity7|Velocity7]] 18:20, 12 February 2008 (PST)
 
:[http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1398244&postcount=301 Analysis] indicates it's a hoax virus, though obviously a patch shouldn't be 100 KB. Be careful where you downloads from, that's my best suggestion. --[[User:Velocity7|Velocity7]] 17:10, 14 February 2008 (PST)

This is a resurrection of the translation project effort that started in 2005. Originally run by Soulfang, this new resurrection is an open collaboration started by [[User:Velocity7|velocity7]]. As this is an experimental project, people should take heed to how this is being handled. Please see below for more details.

This project is a second-generation resurrection of the translation project effort that started in 2005. The Clannad translation effort was originally started by Soulfang, then resurrected as an open collaboration by [[User:Velocity7|velocity7]] in 2007, and finally re-resurrected for polishing by [[User:Polarem|Polarem]] in 2011.

If any groups are interested in using the script files for their own CLANNAD translation project, such as a foreign language, please contact the Project Administrator. Also, please be advised that, until this project is complete, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or cleanliness of the translation, and therefore advise that you hold off on such requests until that happens.
   
Please note, that Baka-Tsuki hosts only the Translated text, and as such, no images or game files are hosted here.

== Translation Status ==
 
Currently, we are in the '''TRANSLATION''' phase. This means that all files are currently being translated at this time, and when completed, will require revisions/editing for later. There is no ETA on when this phase will be completed. Concurrent phases to complete are:
 
 
*Revision phase - finding untranslated or mistranslated lines, references, etc.
 
*Beta phase - making sure the entire game has been translated with no issues, including game logic, variable references, etc.
 
*Editing phase - final phase, all files can undergo editing to ensure consistency, grammar, etc.
 
 
Please note that, if any groups are interested in using the script files for their own CLANNAD translation project, such as a foreign language, please contact the Project Administrator for permission to do so. However, please be advised that, unless the Revision phase has passed, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or cleanliness of the translation at this time, and therefore advise that you hold off on such requests until that happens.
 
 
== Development Status ==
 
[[User:Velocity7|velocity7]] has recently written a program that will facilitate download of the SEEN files from the SEEN pages on the wiki. It is ''highly suggested'' that you at least follow the Guidelines or use the &lt;pre&gt; tags so that this program may work more efficiently, and thus, allow for the ability to create internal patches for testing.
 
 
We are looking for people who are willing to help deal with the following problems listed below. You should have experience (or willing to gain) experience with the RealLive kepago files, the GAMEEXE.INI, or have enough hacking knowledge to hex edit the RealLive.exe. The items in question are:
 
 
*'''Bugs'''
 
**Return to Previous Selection button is disabled whenever rlBabel is active.
 
**\size{} causes the indentation to screw up if used before a ( or " character.
 
*'''Additions'''
 
**Handler for hypertext, so that instead of using a standard window, a window using the in-game CLANNAD graphics appears with the actual text.
 
*'''Features'''
 
**How to create .PAK files
 
**Search priority for RealLive assets<br/>(e.g., should search local directory then install area, rather than the other way around)<br/>(install area: full means HDD, minimal means CD)
 
**Coding in a handler for making the hypertext blink or highlight when the mouse hovers over the gloss (and when clicked, there should be a handler for the gloss itself, so that it can blink faster or highlight faster, etc.)
 
 
If you would like to help out, please visit the [http://forums.visualnews.net/showthread.php?t=7534 forum thread].
 
 
For people who are interested in the various versions of RealLive, [[User:RasqualTwilight|RasqualTwilight]] has put up a [[User:RasqualTwilight/RealLive|list]] of versions you might want to have a look at.
 
 
== Guidelines ==
 
Generally speaking, the [[Format_guideline|guidelines]] associated with the Suzumiya Haruhi novel translation project can be followed, but there are several amendments that have been made in order to accomodate the unorthodox nature of this project. Please see the '''[[Clannad:Guidelines|Clannad Guidelines]]''' for details.
 
 
'''If you wish to make a translation contribution and cannot abide by the Guidelines for any reason, post the text in &lt;pre&gt; tags, and mark the top of the page with <nowiki>{{Clannad:Cleanup}}</nowiki>. A Project Editor will handle the transfer into an acceptable format.'''
 
 
Pages will be marked at the top, either by:
 
*<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Clannad:Translating|Clannad:Translating]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, to indicate translation is underway. Pages are categorized under [[:Category:ClannadTranslating]].
 
*<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Clannad:Cleanup|Clannad:Cleanup]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, to indicate cleanup is necessary. Pages are categorized under [[:Category:ClannadCleanup]].
 
*<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Clannad:Recode|Clannad:Recode]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, to indicate that the page needs or has undergone Kepago cleanup. Pages are categorized under [[:Category:ClannadRecode]].
 
*<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Clannad:Alternate|Clannad:Alternate]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, to indicate that an alternative translation is available.

This project is a second-generation resurrection of the translation project effort that started in 2005. The Clannad translation effort was originally started by Soulfang, then resurrected as an open collaboration by velocity7 in 2007, and finally re-resurrected for polishing by Polarem in 2011.

Where to Purchase CLANNAD
