Nage Libre: Seijaku no Suishin English translation
ナージュリブレ 静寂の水深
A full English translation of Varie's 1995 card-battle strategy game, from the opening morning scene to the staff credits, proofread by hand.
What's translated
The whole story is in English, roughly 2,300 lines of dialogue and narration from the prologue to the ending and the staff credits. Menus, saving and loading, the birthday and club selection screens, the shop and stage preparation are translated too, along with the card-battle commands and messages, level-ups, the PAGER windows and every character, enemy and club name.
How it was made
This is the translator's first project, and they are open about the process: a first draft combined their own translation with machine translation, AI tools helped identify kanji, decode the text format and build the insertion tools, and then every line of dialogue was proofread and corrected by hand and the game was playtested. Reports of mistakes, with a screenshot, are welcome on the project page.
Playing it
