Oda Nobunaga Den English translation
織田信長伝 · The Legend of Oda Nobunaga
Koei's chapter-by-chapter tactics game about Oda Nobunaga gets a beta English patch, an AI translation that covers the whole story, the items and the menus.
What's translated
Every event script is in English: dialogue, narration, chapter titles, place captions, battle goals and choices. Officer and item names are romanised (long vowels get macrons, so you'll read Saitō Dōsan and Kyōto), item descriptions are translated, and the menus, shop and blacksmith screens, settings and battle messages are all done. Screen labels and the floating battle labels are redrawn with an original English font, and a proportional font with word wrap replaces the Japanese one. The title logo and the movies are left as they were.
Status
The creator labels this a full machine translation by an AI model that no fluent Japanese reader has checked, and a beta: the main story has been played through to the Honnō-ji ending, but most of the alternate chapters that follow were only checked as text. Frequent updates have fixed layout and display bugs reported by players.
Playing it
The xdelta patch is applied to the first track of your own copy of the original Japanese disc (not the later budget reissues); follow the instructions on damon-daemon's GitHub page.
