Romanization / Transliteration Guides
From Redump Wiki
The purpose of this page is to document the redump standards for handling Titles which need romanization or transliteration.
Generally speaking, discs with non-latin or non-roman titles must go through a process called romanization or transliteration (not translation!) in order to create a main title. The exact method differs by region. Specific regions and examples are listed below:
Contents |
Japanese
- Japan is by far the most abundant region in redump in terms of discs needing romanization.
- Redump follows something very close to modified hepburn romanization in order to create standardized Main Titles.
- We are working on a detailed guide for this - WIP version here: GUIDE

Russian
- GOST 7.79-2000 is the official standard of the Russian government for romanization. For redump purposes, we use System B (without diacritics)

- Note: 의 (ui) at the end of a word can act like a possessive and becomes hyphenated when it follows a noun, see: http://redump.org/disc/42201/
- Note: Spacing is circumstantial and may need more discussion on a case-by-case basis.
