What's new on UTAU wiki

November 10, 2009

Yoshi Kazune has now been updated with triphonic phonemes. This makes him the only other overseas voicebank aside from Camila Melodia to utilize triphones.

For those that do not know, triphones are a cluster of 3 syllables in one phoneme.

UPDATE: If you find a mistranslation, wrong information or inaccurate descriptions, please change it accordingly or discuss it in the respective discussion page. Don't be afraid even if you can't speak English! UTAU wiki is dedicated to bring accurate and correct information, when available. So if you find something wrong, give us a buzz!

We are proud to announce the completion of the translation to English! Special thanks to the UTAU wiki users who contributed, and a certain mianaito from YouTube for contributing his own translation as well!

In response to requests, the UTAUloids Single Language UTAUloids page has been segragated to Japan-made, Overseas-Made, and other series sorting. The macloids are given their own sorting because they are commercially-distributed voicebanks. A series sorting can be allocated if the series has 3 or more voicebanks. It can also be sorted by country of origin if enough information is acquired and has 3 or more entries.

A finalized UTAU GUI translation is now being screened and will be distributed tonight. Details to follow.

November 3, 2009

The A-Loids Kari Lebetch, Trace Webb and Nala Doll have been updated with new information, and the previously non-existing download links have been populated. They are now available for download (cept for Trace, whose link is in the creator's link). Nala is brand new, so check her out!

The profile page for Chii Feirune has been updated with technical information about her voicebank.

November 1, 2009

UPDATES:

1. Propped up page of Ted Kasane, to be the model page for all Fanmade UTAUloid profile page.
2. Siena Kotone has been updated with official support for English and Spanish! This reclassifies her as a Multilingual UTAUloid! Check her out!
3. Amagaku also has been updated and is now at version 2.0

To those who are adding their Fanmade UTAUloids, make sure to follow the reminders on top of the page. Any entries that do not meet the criteria will be removed.

GUI translation of UTAU is being tested before a release can be made. Please note that not all of the GUI aspect of UTAU were translated because some strings were not included in the resource files.

Many people have asked for it. Hell even attempts to hack UTAU to give it an English GUI was attempted. Ameya has been abreast about the overseas UTAU scene, and has released UTAU v.0.2.49 with separated language strings!

UTAU wiki is immediately on the case. However, some translations to technical English counterparts are rather troublesome. For this reason, you are invited to help out in the translation of the GUI strings. Some of the strings are already translated, but others are still unverified.
