My dad agreed to play undertale for the first time but there is a slight problem, he only speaks hungarian sould I translate the texts live or is there a mod that translates form english to hungarian?
Toby only wanted a Japanese translation specifically because Japanese RPGs were his main inspiration when making the game so Undertale would work well in Japanese, I believe. But that doesn't stop us from creating fantranslations and Toby supports the practice! š
The way Toby handles translations is unusual, in the sense that he puts a lot more effort into it than is normal. Different languages have different rules and different cultures on what certain things mean, so just translating literally causes problems. Even putting in some amount of effort to fix these problems, meaning is oftentimes still lost. It takes a disproportionately large amount of effort to make a truly faithful translation that correctly translates all intended meaning to the new language, and that is what Toby does.
It's why the japanese translation of Deltarune is treated as a valid source of evidence for theories independently of the english version; you would never see this in any other setting.
It's also a major reason why we're still waiting for Deltarune chapter 5: the english text is largely finished, but the japanese text isn't.
Unfortunately, this means adding more languages is simply impractical.
I went and asked Gemini Pro 3 and GPT 5.2 three lore questions, who built the core, who is Sans's brother, and as a bonus question, why Toriel left Asgore, I'll relent that ChatGPT got the "who built the core" question wrong (it did say that Gaster building it was a "popular theory" though) but other than that both models got the questions right. I used lmarena so I can only share the convo as a screenshot.
Either way, what I take issue with is not whether or not people *like* AI or use it for day to day stuff, but rather when people spread outright misinformation or outdated info. Like, if you aren't aware of what this technology can presently do, I think you're doing a disservice to yourself. Like, there are people who think all AI generated images made in the past year have a piss filter (when it's just one model that does that) or that they still gets hands wrong all the time. They're gonna fall for AI generated stuff.
Interesting, so you need to pay 20 pounds a month to stop ai from telling you misinformation. I guess that proves the theory that billionaires want to wealthgate knowledge somewhat then.
translate it live
did the same with my dad
he grew up on 90s games and discovered it himself
i translated the dialogue for him since we're russian and if he just played in english he wouldnt understand the jokes, the lore, everything else xD
Tnx, I'll try
Isn't there a specific russian Undertale version though?
nope
there's multiple translations and they're all shit xD
I'm surprised there isn't more proper official translations for the game considering how popular it once was.

If you google undertale hungarian translation mod you might find something due to how popular the game is
just chatgpt to enchant your brainĀ
Nooo, that will break so many dialogues bc the ai doesn't know the lore
It doesn't know shit. You'd have better odds using the famously scuffed Google Translate than a hallucinatory AI ramblebox.
nor does it get the jokes and puns (humor)
It knows the lore quite well actually
When I asked it it claimed Dr alphys made the core and is sans's brother
How long ago was this? Did you ask ChatGPT or is this a google search summary thing?
I asked gemini on thinking mode. Every answer was either completely wrong or had major plot spoilers for all routes. It's a lose lose.
share the convo link? Also, if it had major plot spoilers, it does mean it knows the loreā¦
But if I tell it to not spoil area x instead of not mentioning it it says stuff that is misleading or wrong
And I'd rather not link my personal Gmail to a complete stranger
