Arabians Lost: The Engagement on Desert English translation
アラビアンズ・ロスト ～The Engagement on Desert～
An AI-assisted English patch for the PSP version of QuinRose's otome visual novel Arabians Lost, covering the whole script, the nameplates and the system menus.
What's translated
Every scenario line of the game is in English, more than 35,000 records across all routes. The character nameplates, which are images, were redrawn in English, as were the title screen, the save, load, options and recall menus and the system pop-ups. Text is wrapped by whole words so nothing gets cut off mid-word.
How it was made
Protoxid built the patch with a pipeline that ran the script through a large language model, guided by character notes and a glossary, then checked the engine tags and names for consistency. The release is labelled a public beta: the game can be played from start to finish, but expect the stylistic rough edges of machine-assisted text. The translated script files are in the repository so players can suggest corrections.
Playing it
The xdelta patch goes on your own copy of the Japanese PSP game (the version the README names), following the instructions on the project page.
