Ronde English translation
輪舞曲 · Rondo
A public beta of an AI-made English translation for Atlus's Saturn strategy RPG Ronde, covering both discs. Dialogue, demon negotiation, menus and the text in the game's images are all in English.
What's translated
All dialogue on both discs (battles, cutscenes, towns and the ending), the demon negotiation conversations, menus, items, spells and help text, stage cards and the images that contain text, such as map buttons, status headers and the name entry keyboard. The only Japanese left is in the captions of a few FMVs.
How it was made
The creator says the script was translated with AI from the original Japanese, following a style guide that keeps names and terms in line with the rest of the Megami Tensei series. It hasn't been proofread by a fluent speaker yet.
Beta status
Only the first three chapters have been played through so far; the later chapters, the second disc, the endings and many demon conversations still need testing. The creator asks players to report leftover Japanese, text overflow, odd lines and crashes on the repository, with a screenshot and the stage name.
Playing it
The project provides its own patcher, which checks your discs and never touches the originals. Use it on your own copies of both Japanese discs (version 1.001) following the instructions in the repository. The tools and text tables are public too, for anyone who wants to improve the translation.
