To Love-Ru Trouble Darkness: Battle Ecstasy English translation
To LOVEる -とらぶる- ダークネス バトルエクスタシー
froid_san's English patch for the To Love-Ru Darkness action game on PS Vita, machine translated and then hand-edited, covering the story, menus and items.
What's translated
froid_san's patch covers the character events and home conversations, the story dialogue, the skits during boss battles, the menus, weapon, part and costume names, the tutorials (including fixes to their images) and the credits, plus karaoke subtitles for the opening video. A few fonts were also adjusted.
The translator is open about the method: the text was run through machine and AI translation and then edited by hand to read more naturally, by someone who is not a native English speaker. froid_san made the patch at the request of a friend from the Vita3K emulator community and plans to share the extraction tools later.
Playing it
The patch is installed on your own copy of the Japanese Vita game, following the instructions on the translator's blog. The game is full of fan service and is aimed at adults.
