*update*
Okay guys.

I've run into some road blocks with the translation. I can't find the text for the ferryman nor the the sign in stage 1, I also can't find the text that's on the billboard in stage X. These are the only things I'm missing inorder to make this a complete translation patch aside from the title screen, but that would be extra icing on the cake and is the least of my worries at the moment.

I've been considering asking for help on romhacking.net but before I do does anyone here have any idea/clues that might point me in the right direction?
It be a shame to bring the patch this fare only to stop at 95% because of something as little as this.

Also, does anyone have an idea what these are? I found it when I was editing all the title cards, it looks like it belongs to stageX (I don't think ever shows up though). I also can't read Japanese so does anyone know what it says?

[BlueBMW]

just a quick translate came up with this lol:

"God gave you an example from Chika"

It was suggested that maybe it should have been:

"God gave the power of example"

[Burnt Lasagna]

"from Chika"?

I Googled that and according to Wikipedia it's Japanese name that means 'God is supreme'.
...still doesn't make any sense though.
EDIT:

It was suggested that maybe it should have been:

"God gave the power of example"

That makes a little bit more sense.

"Kami yo chikara wo atae tamae"

I had to do some reading, but I now know what this means. Yo is a vocative particle, mostly used in more archaic language, kami is god, chikara is power, and atae tamae means something along the lines of dedicate or pledge, and it seems like there might be an assumption that you are pledging to those you care about. So this is "God, I (assumed) pledge this/my (assumed via particle wo) power," where the dedication of said power MIGHT be to God, but also might be to those the speaker cares about. It might be a pledge before God, in a sense, rather than to.

I believe that Chris Covell(?) once posted a translation of the text in Stage X.

Does he have this text in his translation? Where is this translation exactly?

[spenoza]

I think you'd be pretty well off with "Before God, I dedicate my power!" or something along those lines.

It came up in a thread on Pcenginefx. I remember something humorous.

Indeed, but a more literal translation was closer to "Before my God, my Liege, I do prostrate myself and lay fallow."

The Japanese team was going for a very medieval flavor, possibly pulling text from medieval Germanic sources.

Literal translation, or transliteration, sucks. I don't like it when people take too many liberties with translations, but I've started to realize that sticking way too closely to the original in form and flow can cause readability problems.

"God! Give me power!"

...is an accurate and economical translation of that. It's not awkward or funny or anything. It's pretty much what you'd expect someone in a Japanese game/anime to say right before they power up for some big fight. Taking it a step towards sounding more poetic might turn it into "O Lord, grant me strength!" or something.

This sounds exactly like the level names for stage 2.

The stage name for Richter is...
"God, Grant Me Strength"

While Maria's is...
""O Lord, Give Me Strength"
