Comments: Sky Render lost a portion of the translation, but heā€™s already redone most of it.

Haw! I thought DW3r had been ditched! Whatā€™s the % completion? Is there an ETA for a beta patch?

That RPGOne link is incorrect, it should be http://www.rpgone.net/

Well, there isnā€™t any ETA for it, but itā€™s normal with these things :P. About the completion status, itā€™s at 40% according to the projects section, but I donā€™t know if itā€™s up to date.

Uhmā€¦ maybe itā€™s better to leave this thread only for news and releases and let people open new threads to ask any thingā€¦ what do you say? :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: Fixed the link :stuck_out_tongue:

Hereā€™s a few more in-progress translations
http://www.the2d.com

Name: Der Langrisser
Console: SNES/SFC
Genre: SRPG
Translators: Byuu, D, MoonKnight, others
Original Language: Japanese
Comments: The team is trying to finish up the translation, but people in the community keep begging them to get it done, and the old saying goes that for each time someone asks when a translation will be done, it will be pushed back a day(by that thesis, it will be done by the second Ice Age)
Also, one of the translators released the LangFand00d patch, which is a complete translation that was run through BabelFish on Altavista.net, as an April Fools joke because people kept begging. The LangFand00d patch is pretty incoherent, considering it was run through BabelFish
The Der Langrisser project has been a very long process, and it was started more than three years ago. Currently, the available patches are the LangFand00d patch and the No-Life patch by MoonKnight, which translates the Light Path only.
There has been a large number of people involved in Der Langrisser, and itā€™s had its share of sour moments where files and script were lost, among other things.
One of the translators said that because of the coding in the game, this is easily one of the most difficult projects out there.

Name: Langrisser 2
Console: Sega Genesis/Megadrive
Genre: SRPG
Translators: Byuu, D, MoonKnight, others
Original Language: Japanese
Comments: This is a reworking of the Hiryuu Honyakā€™u patch made to fix the prologue, rework the script, and fix the bugs in the old patch.
The Hiryuu Honyakā€™u patch works on Genecyst, Kega, and Megasis

Game: Ys III - Wanderers from Ys
Genre: RPG
Original language: Japanese
System: Famicom/NES

Translator: Kitsune Sniper
Homepage: http://vice.parodius.com
Translation language: English

Comments: The patch is 80% completed, I canā€™t say much else, I never played the game, I guess the original translation was very bad to have a fan-based one.

EDIT: OK, the translation is for the NES version, previously untranslated :P. Well, at least I know Kitsune Sniperā€™s new comments arenā€™t headed to me xD.

Kitsune translated the Famicom version of Ys III, not the Super Famicom version (so the translation was just translating a game never released in English, not re-translating a poorly translated gameā€¦ still pretty pointless though. =P).

Game: Emerald Dragon
Genre: RPG
Original language: Japanese
System: Super Famicom/SNES

Translator: NightCrawler and other people
Homepage: http://transcorp.parodius.com
Translation language: English

Comments: Gift from Nightcrawler :P. The patch is just a teaser, it mainly covers the menus, read the txt file within the ZIP file to know about known bugs. The game is very nice, and Iā€™m sure a lot of you will enjoy it!
