==== General - from YouTube captions ==== | |||
The official YouTube video sometimes has community-contributed captions enabled, which can be a good source for fan translations. Unfortunately, YouTube removed the community-contributed captions feature in 2020, so new videos usually wouldn't have translations, because the uploader has to receive a captions file from others, and add them manually. | |||
* Use [https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl youtube-dl] to download the captions file and convert it to LRC. <!--detailed steps TBA, I forgot--> | |||
* Open it in an advanced text editor such as [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++]. | |||
* Use the regex pattern <code>^\[.*\]</code> in "find and replace" to remove all timestamps, leaving the lyrics themselves. | |||
* Copy them to this wiki. | |||
==== Vocaloid / Touhou ==== | |||
* Look for the song on [https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki] or [https://en.touhouwiki.net Touhou Wiki], respectively. The lyrics will be in a table, with three columns: Japanese, Romaji, English translation. | |||
* Copy the table into Microsoft Excel (or equivalents). | |||
* Play the chart video to identify the parts that are cut in the game edit version. Select these lines of lyrics, and delete them. | |||
* Copy the columns one by one into three separate sections, wrapped in <nowiki><pre></nowiki> blocks. | |||
* Optionally, if you feel the page is too long with three sections of lyrics, wrap the <nowiki><pre> blocks in {{Collapsible}} templates.</nowiki> | |||
* Note the source of the English translation in the English section, before the <nowiki><pre> block, outside the {{Collapsible}}.</nowiki> | |||
