i dont understand why hes being rude. i just wanna give it a go since he's angry there is a machine translation.
Well you have to think about how he had a proper translation in the works which was pretty public but now an MTL have been posted which means a large majority of people will either just play it as it is or never touch the game ever again due to MTL so overall making his work "worth less".
And even though the current translation have missing parts in it which might hold off people from playing it and instead wait for the more proper translation. People seemingly offer to help to patch up the current MTL version to a level where most people could play it with more ease which means even less people will be interested in his efforts.
And to add the cherry on top, after you didn't read his comment about continuing to work on this and getting a personal response to inform you (even after he said he rather not continue dwelling here further) to see that you are one of the people who are helping the MTL be playable for more people, would low key feel like being betrayed probs.
I think I would also feel quite shitty.
I'm not sure how much he is being paid
if being paid for it at all, but if someone would release an MTL for the game I am
putting hours, days, weeks, months into and people instead of holding off, they make the MTL just more playable.
I would probably never translate anymore if I'm not getting compensated properly.
And again the "teamwork effort" might sound noble, but you are putting help in a supposedly "wrong place",
and once again MTL or even lines posted into a more proper translator source like deepl (website) it still gives sheit translation, we are not there in space and time where this could work so do not suggest a proper translator to "work" with MTL.
