Doraemon 2: Animal Wakusei Densetsu English translation
ドラえもん2 アニマル惑星伝説 · Doraemon 2: Animal Planet Legend
An AI-assisted English patch for Epoch's 1992 Doraemon adventure on Game Boy, covering dialogue, menus, gadget names and the logo graphics.
What's translated
Version 1.0 puts the whole script that the translator could locate into English: conversations, menus, the names of Doraemon's gadgets, signs and the end credits. A handful of graphics were redrawn in English as well, including the title artwork and the logo on the gameplay HUD, in a style that tries to match the original Game Boy art.
The translation was produced with AI assistance, so expect some wording that a human editor would have smoothed out.
Fixes
The release also deals with several problems that appeared while inserting the text: spacing in dialogue boxes, empty dialogue pages, a hang when items are returned, and freezes reported in the Star Ship section and the ending.
Playing it
The patch goes on your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the steps in the translator's README (it expects the original Japanese release). The translator notes that targeted tests passed but a complete playthrough had not been done yet, so a few untranslated lines or bugs may still turn up.
