It's been a while since our last update so it's time for a rare progress report.
Just a reminder the patch will be released as a complete patch and not before, currently we don't have a date for when this will happen and we are not ready for beta testing yet.
As always bear in mind that this is all still work in progress and don't get too hype
we still have loads to do; about 8000 files to go through and the technical issues that brings.
Extended look at our latest progress prepared by MrFwibbles
Here's a list of what has been translated/inserted/fixed since the last update:
