What is this?
SinoIndo. A website to read the Indonesian translation of SinoAlice story campaigns.
The Story
I wanted a clean place to read the SinoAlice story outside the game. Most sources I found were blog-style with too many ads, or hidden inside Discord chats. So I decided to make my own version, and translate it to Indonesian as part of my English-learning practice.
What I built
- I created everything from scratch.
Tech Stack
- Twine
- Chapbook
- Tweego
One cool thing I learned
I learned many new things in this project: what Twine is, how to host on Netlify, and how a translation project actually works.
The hardest part was understanding Twine. It is made for interactive and nonlinear stories, and I chose it because it matches the feeling of a story campaign better than a normal web framework. But when the content became big, Twine got very laggy. Later I discovered Tweego, a Twine compiler written in Go, and I could work using a normal text editor, which is much lighter. That made the whole process fun and satisfying.
