Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a program, a storage medium, and an information processing device. [Background technology]

[0002] The present invention relates to a game image translation program, a game image translation system, and a game image translation method for translating text in a game image.

[0003] In recent years, with the increasing globalization of the game industry, a single game title is being played all over the world. For example, even if a game developed in Japan is released to overseas markets as is, if the game content is in Japanese, players who cannot understand that language will not be able to enjoy the game properly. Therefore, a process called localization is essential to ensure that a game can be played properly in different countries and regions.

[0004] Game localization does not just adapt the game content to a specific region or language, but also takes into account the entire gaming experience, including cultural nuances, local customs, and humorous elements within the game, ensuring that players in each region can enjoy the game to the fullest.

[0005] Game localization is not just translating a game, but also understanding the game's worldview and rules and conveying them to players from different cultures. This makes the game accessible to a wide variety of players, allowing many people around the world to enjoy the same game.

[0006] In the past, the process of translating game image text involved game companies outsourcing the translation of text, and translators and proofreaders translating and editing the text. The game company then reflected the translated text in the game, and typically conducted quality testing (LQA: Linguistic Quality Assurance) on the actual device, including the translated text displayed in the actual game images. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2008-520043 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] For text translation of game images, a translation tool has been proposed that generates grammatically correct text in a target language based on a text template and context in the source language (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0009] However, even if a translation is grammatically correct, the text in the game is so diverse that it was thought that there was a possibility that the translation content and the consistency of the game's worldview might be affected.

[0010] In addition, the time and communication costs involved in contacting and coordinating with external translators and proofreaders could lead to delays in translation projects and misunderstandings. Furthermore, the complexity of collaboration between internal and external translators in the game company could make it difficult to maintain consistency and quality in the translation content. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] A program for causing a computer to execute a method for translating / editing translated text contained in each game image, the method including the steps of: loading, in an electronic terminal device, a game program including translated text data, a management ID for the translated text data, and game images; associating the loaded translated text data and game images with the management ID for the translated text data; and outputting the translated text data and the game images to the game terminal device and the electronic terminal device, or to the electronic terminal device. Effect of the Invention

[0012] Therefore, the present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a translation program that realizes efficient translation work that has a consistent feel to the game world in the text translation process of game images.

[0038] <1.1 Configuration of the Electronic Terminal Device 200>

[0039] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an electronic terminal device 200 included in the system of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic terminal device 200 includes a communication IF 208, an input unit 210, a display unit 206, a storage unit 204, and a control unit 202.

[0040] The communication IF 208 performs processing for the electronic terminal device 200 to communicate with other devices. The communication IF 208 performs transmission processing on signals generated by the control unit 202 and transmits the signals to the outside (for example, the game server 100, the game terminal device 300). The communication IF 208 performs reception processing on signals received from the outside and outputs the signals to the control unit 202.

[0041] The input unit 210 is a device for inputting instructions by a user who owns the electronic terminal device 200. The input unit 210 is realized by, for example, a mouse 2102, a keyboard 2104, and a touch-sensitive device 2106 in which an instruction is input by touching an operation surface. The input unit 210 is also realized by a microphone 2108. The input unit 210 converts an instruction or voice input by a user into an electric signal, and outputs the electric signal to the control unit 202. The input unit 210 is not limited to physical operation devices such as the mouse 2102 and the keyboard 2104. The input unit 210 may include, for example, a receiving port that receives an electric signal input from an external input device.

[0042] The display unit 206 is a device for presenting information to a user who owns the electronic terminal device 200. The display unit 206 is realized by, for example, a display 2062, a speaker 2064, etc. The display 241 displays data such as images, videos, and text in response to control by the control unit 280. The display 2062 is realized by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, etc. The speaker 2064 outputs sound in response to control by the control unit 202.

[0043] The storage unit 204 is realized by, for example, a temporary storage unit and a long-term storage unit, and stores data and programs used by the electronic terminal device 200. Specifically, the storage unit 204 stores, for example, a first application 2048, management ID information 2046, translated text information 2042, and game image information 2044. The first application 2048 is an application for remotely communicating with other terminals and realizing data synchronization between terminals. The management ID information 2046 corresponds to a specific management ID and the corresponding translated text information 2042 and game image information 2046. The management ID information 2046 is information including information that specifies a visual display in text in a game image. The translated text information 2042 is a phrase in a first language before translation and a phrase in at least a second language after translation. In addition, the game image information 2044 is an image used in a game.

[0044] The management ID information 2046 is information that specifies a visual display of text in a game image, and includes the following information, for example: the x coordinate of the text in the game image, the origin position of the x coordinate, the y coordinate, the origin position of the y coordinate, width, height, font name, font size, degree of scaling, whether rich text format is supported, horizontal position designation (centered, etc.), vertical position designation, character spacing, line spacing height, whether automatic line breaks are applied, rotation position on each of the x, y, and z axes in the game image, minimum font size, maximum font size, etc.

[0045] The control unit 202 is realized by reading a program stored in the storage unit 204 and executing instructions included in the program. The control unit 202 controls the operation of the electronic terminal device 200. Specifically, for example, the control unit 202 fulfills the functions of an operation reception unit 2022, a communication control unit 2024, a translated text display control unit 2026, and a game image control unit 2028.

[0046] The operation reception unit 2022 receives and processes operations input by the user from the input unit 210.

[0047] The communication control unit 2024 performs processing for the electronic terminal device 200 to communicate with other game terminal devices 300 operated by remote communication in accordance with a communication protocol. The communication control unit 2024 is realized, for example, by the first application 2048 being executed by the control unit (processor). For example, the communication control unit 2024 transmits data based on a voice input from the microphone 2108 to other game servers 100 and game terminal devices 300 communicating by remote communication. The communication control unit 2024 also receives data transmitted from other game servers 100 and game terminal devices 300, converts the data into voice, and outputs the voice from the speaker 2064.

[0048] The communication control unit 2024 also transmits text data input from, for example, the keyboard 2104, the touch-sensitive device 2106, etc., to other game servers 100 and game terminal devices 300 with which it communicates via remote communication. The communication control unit 282 and the communication control unit 2024 also receive data transmitted from other game servers 100 and game terminal devices 300, converts the data into text data, and outputs the data from the display 241.

[0049] The translation text control unit 2026 performs a process of analyzing management ID information, text information, and game image information included in the game program, and providing the user with an extraction based on the analysis results. The translation text control unit 2026 is realized, for example, by the second application 2050 being executed by the control unit (processor). Specifically, the translation text control unit 2026 performs, for example, the process shown in FIG. 3.

[0050] <2. Operation> The operation of translation text control unit 283 when remote communication is performed by the translator / proofreader will now be described.

[0051] Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the translation text control unit 2026. The translation text control unit 2026 shown in Fig. 3 has a game software data recognition unit 2030, a game image extraction unit 2036, a text information extraction unit 2034, a management ID identification unit 2032, and a translation database generation unit 2038.

[0052] The game software data recognition unit 2030 reads game software data. The game data recognition method is a game text translation and editing program that works in cooperation with an existing game development engine.

[0053] The game image extraction unit 2036 extracts game images contained in the game software data. Specifically, the game image extraction unit 2036 outputs, for example, only game images from the game software data.

[0054] The text information extraction unit 2034 extracts text included in the game software data. Specifically, the text information extraction unit 2034 extracts, for example, language information of the text displayed in the image in the game software and information specifying a visual display of the text in the game image.

[0055] Examples of information specifying a visual display of text include the following information: x coordinate in the game image, x coordinate origin position, y coordinate, y coordinate origin position, width, height, font name, font size, scaling degree, whether rich text traces are supported, horizontal position designation (centered, etc.), vertical position designation, character spacing, line spacing height, whether automatic line breaks are enabled, rotation position on each of the x, y, and z axes in the game image, minimum font size, maximum font size, etc.

[0056] The management ID specification unit 2032 specifies and assigns a management ID to each of the text information extracted by the text information extraction unit 2034 and the corresponding game image of the game image extraction unit 2832 .

[0057] The translation database generating unit 2038 generates a list of texts to be translated. Specifically, for example, the translation database generating unit 2038 generates a list in which management IDs, text information (language before translation, language after translation), and game image information correspond to each other, making it easier for translators / proofreaders to translate and edit.

[0058] The game image control unit 2028 controls the output unit 206 to present various information to the translator / proofreader. Specifically, for example, the game image control unit 2028 causes the display 2062 to display a text list generated by the translated text control unit 2026. In addition, the display unit 206 causes the text information (pre-translation language, translated language) generated by the translated text control unit 2026 to be displayed on the image of the game terminal device 300.

[0059] FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing how the translation text control unit 2026 generates a translation database that links management IDs, translation texts, and game images from game software information.

[0060] The translation text control unit 2026 acquires game software data (including text information and game images) in response to a read start signal transmitted from the electronic terminal device 200 to the game server 100 by the game software data recognition unit 2030 (step S11). The game software data recognition unit 2030 reads the game software data 500 in response to the read start signal.

[0061] The translation text control unit 2026 performs a management ID assignment process by a management ID specification unit 2032, a text information extraction process by a text information extraction unit 2034, and a game image information process by a game image extraction unit 2036 in parallel with respect to the game software data 500.

[0062] The translation text control unit 2026 extracts text information included in the game data by the text information extraction unit 2034 (step S12). Specifically, the text information extraction unit 2034 outputs text information to be translated based on, for example, input game software data.

[0063] The translation text control unit 2026 extracts game image information including the text contained in the game data by the game image extraction unit 2036 (step S13). Specifically, the game image extraction unit 2036 outputs game image information related to the translation subject based on, for example, the input game software data.

[0064] The game software data recognition unit 2030 assigns a management ID to the text in the game image based on the result of analyzing the game data (step S14). Specifically, the game software data recognition unit 2030 determines whether to assign a management ID to text information extracted by the text information extraction unit 2034, for example. The management ID assigned by the management ID specification unit 2032 is, for example, information that specifies the text information and the visual display of the text in the game image, and includes the following information as an example. Information includes the x coordinate in the game image, the origin position of the x coordinate, the y coordinate, the origin position of the y coordinate, the width, the height, the font name, the font size, the degree of scaling, whether or not rich text trace is supported, the horizontal position designation (centering, etc.), the vertical position designation, the character spacing, the line spacing height, whether or not automatic line feed is performed, the rotation position of each of the x, y, and z axes in the game image, the minimum font size, and the maximum font size. For example, when the management ID specification unit 2032 determines that the text information is not subject to translation and proofreading during the game and that a management ID is not required, it ends the processing for the read start signal.

[0065] The translation text control unit 2026 links and links the management ID created in (step S14), the text information data in (step S12), and the corresponding game image information in (step S13), and creates a translation database (list) (step S15).

[0066] When the translation database is generated by the translation text control unit 2026 , the game image control unit 2028 causes the display 2062 of the display unit 206 to display the generated translation database.

[0067] Fig. 5A is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of a translation database included in game software data displayed on the display unit of an electronic terminal device, Fig. 5B is a game image 2070 with which the translated text of Fig. 5A is synchronized.

[0068] The control units of the electronic terminal device 200 and the game terminal device 300 exchange data through their respective communication IFs. For example, image information and operation information for a certain game is sent from the control unit of the electronic terminal device to the control unit of the game terminal device. The control unit of the game terminal device updates the image of the game based on the received information. As a result, new image information is displayed on the display unit of the game terminal device. At the same time, the control unit of the electronic terminal device also updates the display unit of the electronic terminal device based on the received information. In this way, the screens on the display units of the electronic terminal device and the game terminal device are displayed in sync.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 5A, the translation database 2039 includes a synchronization button, a management ID, and a set language (first language, second language). A check box is provided to perform synchronization. The synchronization check box is checked when the second language of the electronic terminal device is to be displayed on the game terminal device. The management ID is a management ID for identifying text and game image information during the game. The set language is the setting of the language displayed during the game, and one or more languages ​​are set.

[0070] In the example shown in Figure 5A, "jp" indicates Japanese and "en" indicates English. Although Figure 5A only shows the first and second languages, columns corresponding to the third and subsequent languages ​​such as the third language are also included. In addition, a checkbox is provided for each management ID to confirm the implementation of an LAQ (Localization Quality Assurance) check. LAQ is a quality test on the actual machine of the translated text implemented in the game.

[0071] In the example shown in FIG. 5A, after the game software data 500 is loaded into the electronic terminal device 200, a management ID, a first set language ("jp"), a second set language ("en"), and check boxes for LAQ are displayed as a translation database.

[0072] According to the example shown in FIG. 5B, when any one of the translation database management ID, the first set language ("jp"), or the second set language ("en") displayed on the display unit 206 of the electronic terminal device 200 output in FIG. 5A is selected, the corresponding game image is displayed on the game terminal device 300.

[0073] According to the example shown in Figures 5A and 5B, electronic terminal device 200 and game terminal device 300 are synchronized in real time, and when a language obtained by translating the first language is input into a text portion of the second language of electronic terminal device 200, the translation is reflected in the text portion on the image of game terminal device 300. For example, although Figures 5A and 5B are synchronized, since none of the synchronization checkboxes have been checked, the display text of Figure 5B corresponding to management ID "1234abcd" No. 1 in the translation database of Figure 5A remains "Good morning" in the first language. The timing of synchronization between electronic terminal device 200 and game terminal device 300 can be set manually or automatically as desired.

[0074] Figures 5C and 5D correspond to Figures 5A and 5B, and when the top sync checkbox in Figure 5A is checked, all the sync columns are checked. Synchronization means that the first language ("jp") of the settings is replaced with the second language ("en").

[0075] In FIG. 5C, all the synchronization columns are checked, and the management IDs "1234abcd", "4321dcba", and "5678efgh" are synchronized with the game terminal device in FIG. 5D, and the corresponding first language is replaced with the second language. Specifically, the first language "Good morning" of the management ID "1234abcd" in FIG. 5D changes to the second language "Hello", the first language "Good night" of the management ID "4321dcba" changes to the second language "Good Night", and the first language "Goodbye" of the management ID "5678efgh" is displayed as the management ID "5678efgh" because the second language is "blank (not entered)". During synchronization, if the second language column is blank, the management ID is displayed, but when text is entered in the second language "blank (not entered)", the synchronization checkbox is checked, so it can be confirmed that the input content is immediately reflected in the game terminal device.

[0076] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which a game image 2100, a translation database 2039, and an application section are displayed on the display unit 206 of the electronic terminal device 200 on the same display 2062. In the example shown in FIG.

[0077] According to the example shown in FIG. 6, even if the game terminal device 300 is not present, the game image and the translation database are stored in the same image, so that the translation / proofreading results can be confirmed on the game image while performing the translation / proofreading work.

[0078] 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list of game images that require translation displayed on the display unit 206 of the electronic terminal device 200 of the third embodiment. Game images are omitted in blank fields.

[0079] 7, the text to be translated can be easily found from the game image 2070. This allows the translation text to be found quickly even in game image information that cannot be reached without complex operations, which not only improves the efficiency of translation / proofreading and LQA but also makes it easier to translate in line with the context.

[0080] According to the example shown in FIG. 7, a management ID input section 2047 is provided, and when a management ID is input into the management ID input section 2047, one or more game images 2070 corresponding to the management ID are hit and displayed.

[0081] 7, the language filter 2056 can select the language of the translated text being displayed. For example, the language filter has selection fields for "All Languages" (first and second languages ​​before and after translation), "Japanese" (first language), and "English" (second language), and by selecting one of these, a game image 2070 in which the selected language is displayed can be displayed on the display unit 206.

[0082] The language filter 2056 has three options, for example, "All Languages," "Japanese," and "English." At this time, a game image 2070 corresponding to the selected language option is displayed on the display unit of the electronic terminal device 200.

[0083] The example shown in FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a game image 2070 and a translation text input section 2072 displayed on the display unit of the electronic terminal device when one game image is selected from the list of game images of the third embodiment.

[0084] The example shown in FIG. 8 is a diagram of the display of the display unit 206 of the electronic terminal device 200 that is displayed when one piece of game image information is selected from the list of game image information 2070 displayed in FIG. 7.

[0085] 8, the display shows the selected game image information and text information in that game image, and on a portion of the outside (surrounding) of the game image, a translation text input section 2072 which is a translation / proofreading portion that can be translated and proofread, and a game image 2070. The translation text input section 2072 has a selection field for selecting the source language (first language) and the translation language (second language), and each has an input field.

[0086] In the text information portion of the game image in FIG. 8, text in the original language (first language) is initially displayed in the game image. When a portion of the displayed text information to be translated is selected, input fields for the original language (first language) and translation language (second language) of the selected portion are displayed in the translation editing portion on the display. When the translated text is entered into the translation language (second language) that corresponds to the selected original language (first language), it is immediately reflected in the text information of the game image 2070 in real time. As the translated text can be confirmed on the game image immediately after translation, the game world is consistent and the translation work can be performed efficiently.
