Hello fellow Hunters,
i'm back with the ambitius dream to translate Monster Hunter Stories including dialog. Some might remember the
MHX patch which focused on menus, items etc. only. This time we want a more complete package, but for this we actually need some good translators.
Sadly we lack these translators right now, so this project lives or dies with this recruitment post. The tools and scripts for making this patch possible are already done, now we just have to get to the heavy work.
So if you like to contribute and make this patch a reality please contact me detailing your motivation and japanese skill level a bit.
Update:
Nope, this project is not dead. We're still looking for translators tho, the more the merrier!
We're currently working on the UI and image assets we have to translate. There's a long way ahead of us for sure. We might release a menu-only alpha patch when we're done with the ui.
Here are some screenshots of the current state:

Progress Report (18.10.16):
We're done with the majority and most critical UIs and Battle related dialogs.
We're currently working on Skill and Item descriptions (around 30-40% atm). And will then move on to tutorial texts and story dialog.
The plan is to have at least the tutorial + maybe the first chapter done before doing a preview release.
Progress Report (27.10.16):
Hello Hunters....I mean, Riders! Here's our status update!!
While we are still working towards our original goal, things have been slowing down due to our teams current state.
We are currently cleaning up overall UI/Skills/Item entries in preparation for a Preview patch. Please note that if you wish to experience the full Monster Hunter Stories RPG, we recommend to wait further until we progress through the dialogues.
UI Patch Release (21.11.16):
We are proud to present our UI Patch for Monster Hunter Stories!! This "UI Patch" version does not contain any dialog translations. We advise anyone that cares for the full experience to wait longer for a possible localization or a new patch. The current state of the patch has 98+% of main UI and messages completed. Here are some more specific notes on what to expect.

I want to highlight the effort the team put in their
freetime, especially the dedicated translators without them this would not have been possible
Download v1.1
On the future of this project:
Due to the team's efforts slowing down a lot there will be no major updates in the near future. To make decent progress again we need new translators.
