(BTW, only reason I'm focusing on Elminage games currently, which are simply too big for one person (me) to ever finish, and not already having finished Wizardry Empire 1... well, it's because Helly's translating Empire 1's dialog script. Once that's done, expect that to be done lickety-split).

-- MEANWHILE: I am/will be translating Elminage 2 and 3 using Machine Translation. Why? Because the game scripts are too big, and no one will translate them. Ever. Since it will never be done if I don't do it now, then I will. If the prospect of machine-translated Elminage NPCs telling you to go kill a giant bat in Roipesu Cave makes you say I am a fraud and hack and what-not, then whatevs. If it bothers anyone that much: then translate THE FUCKING SCRIPT THEN. Heh. --

3DS version of Elminage: Gothic -- currently working on replacing as much of the japanese text as possible by simply using the localized English files from the PC version -- [Priority Level: Very Low]

Elminage 2 for the PSP: Work-in-everlasting-Progress baby!

(BTW, notice how the NPC's name still has a japanese character for some reason? Yeah, these are "old pics". I have been making progress, as I said up top, and am learning more and more; i.e. I'm saying I figured out how to fix that in a very arrogant way, heh)

Here's the WIP translations of the Elminage 2 Quest Journal entries. AND YES I ALREADY FIXED WHAT IS MIS-ALIGNED IN THE PIX111! :)

Elminage 3... available on PSP! Yes, why not spend my ample free time doing tiny progress on two games instead of just making tiny progress on only one game? :)

Looking good!! I'd really like to learn how to do some of this kind of translation.. I guess I should learn about hex editors eh?

Anyways, thanks for the updates!
