Genghis Khan: Aoki Ookami to Shiroki Mejika IV English translation
蒼き狼と白き牝鹿IV · Aoki Ookami to Shiroki Mejika IV · Genghis Khan IV
A beta English patch for the PlayStation version of Koei's fourth Genghis Khan strategy game, with every message, biography and menu in English through an AI translation.
What's translated
All of the game's text is in English: historical events, court and feast scenes, reports from advisors and envoys, diplomacy, war messages, the scenario openings and endings, and every ruler and general biography. The scenario data, from generals and consorts to cities, goods and technologies, is romanised or translated, and names the game invents during play are drawn from English name pools. Menu graphics such as the title menu, map tabs and war commands are redrawn with an original English font, and a proportional font with word wrap replaces the fixed Japanese one. Name entry uses a Latin alphabet grid.
Status
The creator is upfront that this is a full machine translation by an AI model that no fluent Japanese reader has proofread, so expect odd wording and the occasional wrong term. It's labelled a beta: the main screens have been played, but not every event or battle screen has been seen yet. Version 0.9.1 fixes the digit cursor in number entry dialogs.
Playing it
The xdelta patch goes on the first track of your own copy of the original Japanese disc; follow the instructions on damon-daemon's GitHub page. Saves are shared with the Japanese game.
