Super Robot Taisen Z English translation
スーパーロボット大戦Z · Super Robot Wars Z
Retro Trans's English patch for the first Super Robot Wars Z on PS2, machine translated and then edited, with English interface art and a new title logo.
What's translated
The script has been translated in full, along with the interface artwork and the title logo. Gundam names and terms follow the official English series profiles, and all of the in-game DATA HELP descriptions were checked against the Japanese. Patches are offered for both the original release and the later The Best edition, which is still marked experimental, plus an optional sharper texture pack for PCSX2.
How it was made
The Retro Trans project machine translated the script with large language models and then edited it; human proofreading is still under way and only a small share of the lines has been reviewed so far. Not every route has been playtested. The team has published its full toolchain, including a script that shows the Japanese and English side by side from your own disc, so players can judge the translation and suggest fixes.
Playing it
Apply the patch for your edition to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the project page. Start the patched game fresh and load a memory card save rather than an old save state.
