Marie & Elie: Futari no Atelier English translation
マリー＆エリー ～ふたりのアトリエ～ · Alchemist Marie & Elie: Futari no Atelier
An AI-made English patch for Gust's Japan-only WonderSwan Color Atelier game that pairs Marie and Elie, with a new variable-width font and official Atelier names.
What's translated
The full script is in English: story events, town conversations, requests, tea parties, gathering trips, battles, the endings and the item and character encyclopedia. Menus, item and equipment names and the speakers' name tags (redrawn as graphics) are translated as well, and a new proportional font re-wraps the dialogue. Where Koei Tecmo's English Atelier releases already named a character or place, the patch uses that name; the title logo stays in Japanese.
How it was made
The creator states that the translation was produced with AI: Claude translated from the Japanese, ChatGPT reviewed it line by line and Claude checked the review. The author calls it a personal project, shared as is, and notes it hasn't been played through to the end yet, so reports of untranslated text or glitches are welcome. Version 0.9.3 fixes the status screen profiles and the outing screen.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese WonderSwan Color game, following the instructions on the release page. Made by mariovirgili.
