"It Does Not Save Time Or Offer Anything Of Value" - Translator Hilltop Isn't A Fan Of AI

"It does not save time or offer anything of value if every single line needs to be double-checked and re-translated and it reduces the optics of their job to that of 'text janitor.' Real translators have been kicked so hard by AI that you should not blame them for not picking up the sloppy seconds of a chatGPT translation patch. They deserve better."

Released WA1Tools V1.2 on GitHub: https://github.com/cebix/wa1tools

WA1Tools is a suite of command-line translation and hacking tools for the classic JRPG “Wild Arms” on PlayStation 1. It can be used for modding the game, searching for hidden content, and creating fan translations.

Release 1.2 fixes a bug where timer-based events could get corrupted during translation (used in the Adlehyde maps and the Maze of Death).
