Translated Terms of Usage of Japanese blogs

slimmmeiske2 · 2014-05-30T22:27:42+0900

From time to time, topics show up asking if this Japanese site states that their resources can be used commercially, or they're looking for the author's name, so they can credit them properly. However, sometimes their terms are complex enough that google translate isn't able to do his job. That's why I figured it might be a good idea to translate their terms to English. In case you are looking for the terms of a site not mentioned here, feel free to comment and link the site. I will try and translate them as quickly as possible. If you want a speedy answer it's best to PM me. FAQQ: Is it possible you haven't translated [Z]? A: Yes. I've done over 100+ sites now, but I'm nowhere near done I'm afraid. ;.; Just comment here or PM me (in case you want a faster reply). Q: What are these spoilers in your translation posts? I can't read them! A: And you shouldn't have to They're the original terms copied over from the translated site/blog. This is proof in case the site/blog decides at a later date to change their terms or if they decide to close down/disappear forever. Q: I can't find the resources on the site./The first post says this site has [X], but I can only find [Y]. A: Feel free to PM me and I'll point them out for you~ Q: The terms mention I should credit them, but doesn't really state how... A: There's a number of ways you could go. The safest way would be to use the author's name, site's name and site's URL when crediting. However, there's nothing wrong by just crediting the site or author. It's really up to you in the end. Q: Does optional mean I shouldn't credit them? A: On the contrary, it just means that legally you're not required to do so. I find it common decency though, to give credit to these artists/scripters; you'll probably have some resources where you'll be required to credit anyway. Q: Could you check if has gotten back to you about commercial usage? A: Of course! Feel free to PM or comment in this thread. Since I use different methods for different sites, it's hard to keep up with it.

Not really the topic to ask this, but short answer: you search around and see if you can find it, if not well just make it.

Sorry! I just figured out that there might be million of spriters out there! o_O At first I thought of hundred entries but...

Well, even so. If you wanna make something, you can still make it, even if it already exists. I know there's lots of Little Red Riding Hood sprites out there, but I'm still making one. ;)

Marquise*, Slimm is right, this is not the place to ask this sort of question. Hijacking other people's threads is against the rules, next time please make your own thread in the appropriate section of the forums.

I'm sorry Granny, but that site simply does not have any terms to translate. The only thing it mentioned is that for the sprites, you need to own RMVX. I thought the read me file in tileset zip would have terms, but it doesn't. (It only has info about the tiles and how you need to use them.)

Hey, these translations have been most helpful, I have a couple here and would like to see if it's okay to use that way they can be properly credited.

I, too, would really love to thank you for doing this, because I can't read Japanese and I love the talented Japanese artists... only I don't wish to upset them by not following their rules. So, thank you very much! You are a blessing to the community! I feel that people don't get told this enough.

Just dropping by to say thank you very much for all the work on this thread. Yet again it has given me exactly the information I need and which I could never have found on my own. A real service to us all.

What about this site?

http://dispell.net/

It's listed in Granny's Icon Lists as "Shanghai Alice", but I don't see that or "Dispell" on your translated list.

Thanks!
