Xenogears Re-Translation and Script Comparison

This page will feature a comparison between the original Japanese (JP), Honeywell's localization (EN1), and fan re-translation (EN2). The long-distance goal is to help facilitate (interest in) a much-needed script patch for the game.

The re-translation is being compiled by Reichu. When previous re-translation efforts exist, courtesy of the now-defunct Xenotensei and Eye for the Infinite sites, they will be utilized as references or temporary stand-ins on an as-needed basis. (Borrowed translations will be marked with *.) Otherwise, re-translation will be done by Reichu from scratch, with the expected mixed results.

The current priority is simply first-stage processing, since streamlining and editing for fluency can always come later.

General Substitutions
Proper Noun List
Here is an ongoing compilation of -proper nouns- that would presumably be replaced in the hypothetical script patch. "Reason" provides the justification for doing so. Romaji provided for the interest of those who can't read the Japanese.

Original	Romaji	Localization	Replacement	Reason
アヴェー	Ave-	Aveh	Ave	Spelling used on in-game signs.
アクヴィ	Akuvi	Aquvy	Acvi	Used in Perfect Works. Less prone to mispronunciation.
アルル	Aruru	Alice	Aruru	Reversion to original name. As funny as it looks, "Aruru" is actually the name of a Sumerian fertility goddess.
イグニス	Igunisu	Ignas	Ignis	Used in Perfect Works. Consistent with the katakana.
エテメンアンキ	Etemen'anki	Etrenank	Etemenanki	Maintains the reference to the ziggurat.
エメラダ	Emerada	Emeralda	Emerada	Used in Perfect Works. Consistent with the katakana.
エリィ	Eri	Elly	Ellie	Used in Perfect Works and elsewhere.
エレハイム	Erehaimu	Elhaym	Elehayym	Used in Perfect Works.
エルル	Eruru	Elru	Elul	Maintains the reference to the Hebrew month.
オピオモルプス	Opiomorupusu	Opiomorph	Opiomorphus	Consistency with katakana.
カーラン	Ka-ran	Kahran	Carlin	Used in Perfect Works. "Carlin Becker" makes more sense as a name than "Kahran Becker".
カレルレン	Kareruren	Krelian	Karellen	Used in Perfect Works. Maintains Childhood's End reference.
教会	Kyoukai	Ethos	The Church	If I had my way it would be the "Ethos Church" canonically, but, alas...
ゲーティアの小鍵	Ge-tia no shouken	Gaetia Key	Lesser Goetia Key	Maintains reference to The Lesser Key of Solomon.
ゲブラー	Gebura-	Gebler	Geburah / Gevurah	Maintains the reference to the sephirah.
グラーフ	Gura-fu	Grahf	Graf	Used in Perfect Works. Means "count" in German.
ケルビナ	Kerubina	Kelvena	Cherubina	Used in Perfect Works. Maintains the reference to cherubim.
シタン	Shitan	Citan	Shitan	Used in Perfect Works. Looks Japanese or at least East Asian, in accordance with the character's implied ethnicity (cf. "Hyuga Rikudou").
タムズ	Tamuzu	Thames	Tammuz	Maintains the reference to the Hebrew month.
ノアトゥン	Noatun	Nortune	Noatun	Maintains the reference to Norse mythology (Nóatún, which means "ship-enclosure" amusingly enough).
バルトロメイ	Barutoromei	Bartholomew	Bartholomei	Used in Perfect Works. Makes more sense than "-mew", considering the katakana. A legitimate Slavic variation, as well.
ブレイダブリク	Bureidaburiku	Bledavik	Breidablik	Maintains the reference to Baldr's home in Norse mythology.
ヘルムホルツ	Herumuhorutsu	Helmholz	Helmholtz	
ミァン	Mian (small "a")	Miang	Myyah	Used in Perfect Works. Intended to partly mirror "Elehayym".
メルカバー	Merukaba-	Merkava	Merkabah	The spelling "Merkava" seems more closely associated with modern Israeli ordnance. "Merkabah" maintains the ties to the original "chariot" concept.
リクドウ	Rikudou	Ricdeau	Rikudou	"Rikudou" is an actual Japanese surname, congruent with the Japanese given name "Hyuga".
Other Terms
Original	Localization	Replacement	Reason
先生	Doctor / Doc	Sensei	While generally effective, "Doctor" implies that Shitan has a medical degree or a doctorate, which to my knowledge lacks any canonical basis. Normally I would want to avoid sensei in translation, Shitan does have the distinction of being Japanese (in a setting where Terran ethnicity doesn't make much sense, but... I quibble), so retaining the title feels appropriate.

Re-translation
Dialogue will be sorted by chapter. As Reichu's copy of the official script book is still en route from Japan, these divisions may not be completely accurate to start with.

This facility centers around the Emperor

Shitan: 
Originally this was a facility used in part
for the Gazel Ministry's longevity research.
The Emperor, who reigns over them,
is one who has lived on since primordial times
and cannot be allowed to die.

[Many kudos to Numbers-kun for helping to make sense of this part. The first sentence here is so difficult that even Honeywood completely gave up on it, it seems. Some rewriting was necessary due to the bizarro grammar, but hopefully all of the information is now present. -Reichu]

Creatures called humans were born upon this earth.

　その最初のヒトが天帝カインと
　ガゼルの法院を構成する
　老人達なのです。▽

The first were the Emperor
and the Ministry's elders."
Those first humans were Emperor Cain
and the old men comprising the Gazel Ministry.
[It doesn't say "men" specifically, but the original word seems more a generic term for old people, lacking the connotations of "elder". While I personally doubt the Ministry AREN'T all dudes, I may ultimately go with "elder" anyway.]

　エリィ

How could humans live for 10,000 years?

He is a human whose destiny is to never die.

　かつての地上人との戦争……

Once, during the Diabolos invasion... 
the Ministry elders died losing their bodies.
Due to the war with the former surface-dwellers...
or, rather, because of the Diabolos' invasion, 
the old men of Gazel lost their bodies altogether.

　ガゼルの法院は、メモリーバンク

Now, the Solaris governing Ministry

Now the Solaris-governing Gazel Ministry exists on memory banks, each of their respective personalities mere data.

CITAN
"After the Fall, wanting to resurrect
their bodies, and create a
worthy vessel, they transferred a
research facility that was once the
Soylent System on the land to Etrenank.

Shitan:
After the Day of Collapse, they became 
fixated upon their [lost] corporeality.
Desiring resurrection, they transferred one of
the Soylent Systems from the surface to Etemenanki
so that it might produce suitable bodies.

Eventually the facility was no longer only for
the Emperor's life and the Ministry's resurrection,
but it began producing food and drugs
with additives that controlled the public.

Eventually the institution,
no longer limited to researching only
the Emperor's longevity treatments and
Ministry's corporeal resurrection, came
to double as a facility researching
organic weapons, along with special food and
drug additives that would regulate public opinion.

　フェイ達が何気なく

The memory cube Fei and them were using
was meant for obtaining living data.

Of course, the 'Ethos' also sent various data to help."

Of course, various data was also sent by the Church to help.

"Malakh" is the Hebrew word for "angel". The Japanese text makes it clear that the terms "angel" and "malakh" are interchangable, but this is harder to convey in translation with grace. As an artistic choice, I would delay revealing what "malakh" means until the Raziel scene, since it makes more sense for Fei to spell this out for us than for the Gazel, who exist to confuse. The plural form "malakhim" is used here, as we know they intend to make more than one. ...a LOT more. -Reichu

Up until we discovered this, the work was rather crude.

The best we could possibly do until now was 
to apply amino acid solutions to wounded areas 
for amelioration or to seal up any peculiar 
abilities.
I'm sure you've had some exposure to genetics 
when you were in the Jugend.
Each type of those enzymes inside the DNA... 
are also molecular machines that were created 
by nature.
That is, if we are indeed the progeny 
of the very first organism."　
The ones we had prior to that 
were capable of only crude work. 
At most, they could be used on the wounded to 
externally administer amino acids and perform 
reconstruction, or to restrict innate abilities, 
and such like. 
I'm sure even you studied gene structure, at least, 
in Jugend. 
The various enzymes within genes... Those too are 
molecular machines produced by nature, 
you could say.
