Chobits: Chiidake no Hito English translation
ちょびっツ ～ちぃだけのヒト～ · Chobits: The Person Just for Chii
sam8457's English patch for the Japan-only Chobits visual novel on PS2, with nearly all in-game text translated and the anime cutscenes subtitled.
What's translated
About 99% of the in-game text is in English, and the video cutscenes have English subtitles. The voices remain Japanese, and some interface graphics, such as the date bar, are still untranslated. The creator says the script was mainly produced with AI translation and then edited by hand, and has followed up with two releases of spelling and grammar fixes.
The patch comes in two flavors: one with the subtitled videos and a smaller one without them; the creator recommends the version with video. Saves are compatible between patch versions and with the original game.
Known issues
Some lines may still slip through as garbled text; the creator asks for screenshots of any such box through the repository's issue tracker. A couple of quirks, such as a scene that keeps resetting until a few in-game days pass, come from the original game.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese PS2 disc following the instructions in the repository, always starting from the original image when updating. Credit goes to sam8457.
