Let us translate! [Animal Crossing: New Leaf Translation Thread]

[mattmagician]

Hey there! So, some of you may have seen the videos that Saratoga's been uploading.

That said, this is a thread for translations. You guys post stuff you find, and we'll do the best we can to translate.
I'll be editing them into english. I'll do my best to work with Saratoga and provide great translations for you all!

Here's the ones we've done so far. :>

This looks like a pretty neat thread

There's quite a few people working on translations on youtube. I found one doing a voiceover, and about two others doing English subtitles

Can I tell you how awesome you are? Thank you so much for doing all these translations for us. Being able to actually understand what's going on just makes me more and more pumped up for this game.

98% of it is all Saratoga. I'm helping with images where I can, but the videos are all her. She's amazing :>

If it's requested, I could probably work out a voice-over version of the Nintendo direct, but I don't see the need for it.

 

[Dylab]

wow thi is great thanks for this!

 

[Pudge]

Wow, thank you guys so much for doing this! Is there any chance that you could possibly translate what's on the AC Japanese website? It looks like the site has a lot of info, but I can't read it.

 

[Jennifer]

Thank you for the translations! Hope to see more from the site

Looking at the first picture, those are actually the same eye styles with different eye colors so it'd be neat if we can actually change eye color in this game too.

I've been watching these. They're very helpful! Thanks a lot.

 

[Fennec]

Thank you for the translations. They were super helpful in understanding the clips!

Hello, I am the one who has been translating (my boyfriend has been the editor, so he really makes the videos shine I think ). I'll do any print translating that you guys may want done, like images from the website or scans etc. I don't think I can manage long interviews or articles or anything like that, but stuff from the website or tweets is perfectly manageable!

 

[tsukune_713]

awesome job on them
the videos make much more sense now
thank you

 

[Pudge]

I figured I'd post this... It's the full Direct video translated to English. It's only 1 part.

[Anna]

Thanks very much, very helpful

 

[Berry]

Thanks for the video! It's nice that there are going to be more than 2 multiplayer games. But I guess the others are just bug and fishing tournaments? Or they put in more creative ones

Yeah I wonder what all the games are going to be...

Heya! So today the official Animal Crossing site was updated and now we can find somewhat that looks like a calendar on one page. I would love to know what we can expect concerning holidays and so on. Could you please help and translate it?
Find it here!

September 3rd: "Grass Day" A day where everybody picks the wild weeds in town and tries to beautify it up. If you go and pick weeds from another village, Rainy (the character shown) will reward you with a present!

December 24th: Christmas. Santa's helper Jingle will come to your town! Try talking to him while wearing a Santa Claus outfit...

Thank you for translating! On the website, there's a section that talks about the different town types. Could you translate it please?

Here's the image from the site:
