McDonald's eCDP English translation
eCrew Development Program · McDonald's eCrew Development Program
A community English patch for the eCrew Development Program, the Nintendo DS training software McDonald's Japan gave to its staff instead of selling it.
What's translated
The patch translates the program's text: the interface, the step-by-step operation guides, the self-check tests and the Challenge the McDonald's quiz, which also gets a new font. Graphics are still in Japanese, and the team says the wording may still change in later versions.
Version history
A first beta appeared on 25 December 2022 and version 1.0.0 followed four days later. Version 1.1.0 fixed glitched video playback, 1.1.1 brought many translation fixes and 1.1.2 (3 May 2023) corrected the quiz results text and a missing score label.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own unmodified copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions in the repository. The repository also holds the translation sources and a script that applies every section in one go.
