Another Century's Episode Portable English translation
アナザーセンチュリーズエピソード ポータブル · A.C.E. Portable
An English patch for the Japan-only PSP entry of the anime mecha crossover series, covering briefings, mission radio chatter, battle subtitles and every menu.
What's translated
Around 14,200 lines are in English: the menus, hangar, shop, options and help, the in-mission HUD, pause menu and objectives, all 64 story briefings, the radio dialogue of the 88 missions, the subtitles for voiced lines in battle, the manual, prologue and staff roll, and the names of every unit, pilot, weapon and series. The spoken audio stays in Japanese with subtitles, and text drawn into images is not translated.
The first pass was machine-assisted and the script was then corrected by hand from players' bug reports. Version 1.3 translates the names shown when you lock on to enemies and objects, adds objectives and messages to the missions without radio dialogue, and fixes several menu and description errors.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own dump of the Japanese UMD, following the instructions in the creator's GitHub repository, and runs in an emulator or on a modded PSP. The repository also holds the translation as plain files and the tools to rebuild it, so others can correct lines or make a translation into another language. Translation and tools by Azzulin (figordo4), with testing by the community.
