Legend of the Galactic Heroes English translation
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu · 銀河英雄伝説
A complete English patch for the Super Famicom Legend of the Galactic Heroes fleet strategy game, made with heavy AI help by minhnhattonthat.
What's translated
According to minhnhattonthat's repository, version 1.0 covers the whole game: the story text of all three scenarios and the battle cut-ins, names, ranks, ship classes and command labels, the battle banners and scenario title bars, and the title screen. The staff credits were already in English and German in the original. A new pixel font is used for the English text.
How it was made
The translator says openly that the work was done with extensive AI assistance, so expect machine-translation wording here and there; corrections can be reported through the project's issue tracker. The repository also holds the full script, a glossary of names and terms and the tools that build the patch, so anyone can check or improve the text.
Playing it
The patch goes on your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom game (an unheadered dump); follow the instructions that come with the release on the project page. Start from a fresh boot, since save states made with the Japanese game will show wrong text.
