Translating the pronunciation guide in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
I want to translate TL:LTD, and aside from the frighteningly wide range of text the game has to offer, there's one larger issue I have to deal with: the pronunciation guide.
I want to translate the game into Irish, and there are some sounds in there that I think I can take from other languages (like ch from German, gh from French, etc.), but there are other things like palatalisation (think the c in cat Vs city, but with every single consonant & consonant cluster) that I don't think I'm going to be able to borrow from elsewhere.
This is partially a language "purity" issue, I know many people wouldn't even hear or know the difference, English colonisation has hugely fucked over the unique aspects of our language, but if I do get to translate it, I want to do it *right*, I want to be able for people to hear words pronounced correctly. But, more importantly, it's a technical issue, because if there are sounds missing, I have no idea how to add them in; I can't get away with recording it myself, I need a programme to say it.
Has anyone done anything even remotely similar to this? Doesn't have to be the same language or the same level of complexity, I just need to know if I'm going to have to make this work from scratch.
