Sunrise Eiyuutan R English translation
サンライズ・英雄譚R · Sunrise Eiyuutan R
A first public English release for Sunrise's PS2 anime crossover strategy game, made by retro-trans with large language models and then edited, including subtitled previews and song lyrics.
What's translated
Version 0.8.0 puts the dialogue, narration, menus, choices, encyclopedia entries, names and items into English, with proportional fonts and fixes to the layout so lines wrap by the real width of each letter. The interface artwork is translated, the nine next-episode preview movies have English cards and subtitles, and the opening and ending songs get English lyrics with romaji shown above the video while the original audio stays. The patch also removes the black bars that were baked into the top and bottom of the opening movie.
About this translation
The retro-trans project says the text was produced with large language models and then edited, rather than translated by hand by a fluent speaker, following a shared glossary of names and terms. It is a work in progress: the first episode and the main port menus have been played, but episodes 2 to 8 have not yet been checked in order. Playtesting and proofreading help is welcome on the project page.
Playing it
The patch is for the Japanese edition of the game. Apply it to your own copy following the instructions on the retro-trans GitHub page, then start the game from the patched disc and load an in-game memory card save rather than an emulator save state.
