Nobunaga no Yabou DS 2 English translation
信長の野望DS2 · Nobunaga's Ambition DS 2
damon-daemon's AI-made English patch for Koei's second Nobunaga's Ambition game on the DS, with the story, menus, tutorial and redrawn graphics all in English.
What's translated
Story events, dialogue, advisor messages, battle text and officer biographies are in English, as are the menus, commands, the in-game help and the tutorial. Officer, province, tactic and tea ware names are romanised from the game's own readings. The Clash of Warlords mode is covered too. Buttons, titles, banners, tactic cut-ins and the staff credits are redrawn with an original English font, a variable-width font with word wrap handles the text, and naming a new officer or army now uses a Latin letter grid.
Status
The creator states plainly that this is a full machine translation by an AI model, not proofread by a fluent Japanese reader. Version 0.9.1 fixed a possible crash on the formation screen caused by over-long warnings, and 0.9.2 cleans up garbled buttons when judging captured officers. Some long names are shortened to fit the game's boxes.
