Translation
As stated above, SD Snatcher was released exclusively in Japan. In the early 1990s, the game was translated by a Dutch group of fan translators called Oasis. Although the quality of this translation arguably was not so good, it enabled many people outside Japan to play this game as well. In 2011, a retranslation project was started known as Project Melancholia. The release of this new English translation was expected to be around early 2012, but has yet to be released.

Famous quotes containing the word translation:
“Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 27:6.
KJ translation reads: Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
