Sangokushi Eiketsuden English translation
三國志英傑伝 · Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Eiketsuden
A full English machine translation of Koei's Japan-only Three Kingdoms tactics game for the PlayStation, following Liu Bei's campaign from start to finish.
What's translated
Every chapter's dialogue, narration, titles and choices are in English, along with the townspeople's lines, the names and descriptions of officers, units, items and strategies, town and battle names, menus, battle messages, shops, settings and memory card messages. Stat labels and the large text on title cards and maps are drawn in English, using a new proportional font with word wrap. A few long labels are shortened to fit the game's boxes.
Machine translation, beta
The creator states that all of the text was translated by an AI model and has not been proofread by a fluent Japanese speaker, so some lines will read awkwardly. It is a beta: the opening chapters were played through in order, while later sections, a few battles and one ending were only checked by jumping to them, so text may be squeezed or wrapped oddly later in the game. Corrections are welcome.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions in the creator's GitHub repository, which also contains the tools that build it.
