Translating The “Dead Rising 2” Trailer

Last Friday, viral trailer from Capcom popped up online. Some believe it’s the Dead Rising 2 trailer. By “some,” we mean “all.” Throughout, Japanese quickly flashes on the screen. What does it mean, though?

Below is a list of the Japanese that briefly appears in the trailer along with English translations:

1. 完治不可能 = incurable

2. 抑制 = control/suppression

3. 屍病 = literally, “corpse disease”

4. 寄生虫症 = giardiasis (backpacker’s diarrhea)*

5. ゾンビ化 = turning into a zombie

6. 感染 = infection

Backpacker’s diarrhea? Heh.

*Update: A more accurate translation is simply “parasitic disease” as Giardiasis is a specific type of parasitic disease. Bummer!
