Cubsitting Simulator translation volunteers?

First some good news:

I feel so stupid right now. I knew Inkbunny could block tags, but that doesn't block your own images 100%, so that's why I couldn't log into inkbunny before. Turns out, chrome can blanket block images for specific sites (chrome://settings/content/images), which I only figured out when I wanted to write an own extension to block images. Bad misterfluffums, bad.

Inkbunny looks like crap without images, but at least I can respond to people without any risk now.

Anyway... A while ago I encountered a translation of CSS into Spanish, and got quite giddy someone liked it enough to translate. ...Until I found out the link that was provided was basically impossible to download, so probably a scam. From that point on I started playing with the idea of making official Cubsitting Simulator translations.

Therefore I wanted to poll:

What do I need?

Someone willing to correct MTL into a language of their choice. Bonus points if Spanish, Simplified Chinese, or French.
Fair warning: There's quite a variety of fetish material in the game and obviously Leonard is a boy, so it would be best if you'd be willing to translate a bit of gay content even if you're not gay (for instance). But if you don't want to / it makes you uncomfortable, just let me know which kind of content you'd rather not translate and I'll try find someone else for that part. I'm grateful for any help I get, so I won't complain about you setting boundaries on your help.

How much time commitment is required?

Just what suits you. I'm developing 0.5.0, which is going to take ages to finish, and if you don't have the time anymore I can always take a look if anyone else is interested in continuing where you left off.

What do you get?

For one, my eternal gratitude.
A bit more concrete: Your name will be listed in the credits, you'll get a shoutout in the main post every time I make a new version, and if there's a scene you'd really want to see added to CSS I'd do my best to include it (not scat,vore,inflation,mpreg, etc). There won't be monetary compensation, 'cause I am not earning anything from CSS, and judging from the TOS of patreon, subscribestar and unifans that's not going to change in the future :p

What skills do you need?

- You'll need to pick up very basic git knowledge. Get changes from a central point, commit your changes, push your changes to the central point, nothing more fancy than that. Obviously I'd be helping you set it up.

- You'll need to download the Ren'Py SDK and learn how to jump to specific scenes so you can test your changes. We'll be working on a version with sanitized images (all images of nude cubs will be replaced with their clothed counterparts) due to circumstances, but that wouldn't impact the translation proces itself. When it's time for release I'll just copy all translation to the non-sanitized version.

- Relative fluency in the language you're translating to. I'll be providing MTL hopefully to save you some time, but I can't make any guarantee about the quality.

- Extremely rudementary coding skills. Basically, characters like Vi have a dynamic gender, so some sentences might look something like "[char._They] looked outside, and straightened [char._their] [char._dress]", which would get automatically changed into "She looked outside, and straightened her dress" or "He looked outside, and straightened his clothes" depending on the chosen gender of 'char'. Similarly there are some functions for plural / singular variations. If your chosen language also has gendered features, we'd have to discuss a bit how to best implement it. Obviously I'd also be helping with this part.

I thought 0.4.14 would be the final version?
I like working on CSS too much, so no, not going to be the final version! I just still can't make any promises when 0.5.0 will come out.

Last warning: If you're helping out, I am afraid you'll get exposed to spoilers :p

If there's anything unclear, please let me know!

I'm not much better, English is spoken by 1.5 billion people, and my native language by a bit more than 30 million :P
It's pretty fun though that you have MTL tools for Ren'Py. I'm just worried that the MTL will sound very clunky, so that's why I prefer a human looking it over.

I'd say english is already fine since english is quite universal, that's why most foreigners games and vns are being translated or already being made in english.

That's me saying as a foreigner that has english as second language, learned all by my own. :P

Indeed exactly why I'm not making CSS in my native language :P
Also because somehow porn in my native language sounds very silly. I seem to be so used to English in porn that translations just sound weird.

But honestly, I see quite a bit of porn games getting translated into Spanish, and that just feels awesome, having a multilingual porn game :P

I can't read porn on my own language as well, it would make me cringe in some dialogues xD

Btw just had a suggestion idea for a character to your game: An orphan you find at the neighborhood so you let him (I suggest a boy so there'll be more boys options) stay in hide at the house where you feed him and buy clothes to him, and maybe he starts calling you "dad" and you think about adoption; and the vixen girl can pretend to be a sister to him. It'd be quite a wholesome route if you write that way x3c
And at the end, he can either escape to Venezuela with you or the mother finds out and the vixengirl defends him to be adopted by the mother. Up to you to decide

Anyway the idea is to introduce an orphan character where you can take care of them while playing the game with the other kids
