a translation is more of changing the data that gets loaded by the game, a save file is a bunch of values that get read by the game, a translation is a simple change to the data inside the game, it has nothing to do with the mechanic that the game uses to load the save data, which concludes to a "YES", the jap save is compatible with the translated game.
if you mean localized games, then yeah, they change the mechanic to avoid people from transfering saves from one region to another.
Well the oreimo translation project is a fanmade translation and the savegames are not compatible.
Thanks a lot for starting this project! I'll love you when you finish the translation. 
Is there already a party translated version download? I'd love to try it.
You have my respect, please don't stop

There is not a partially translated patch available. Right now the ones we have made for internal use break a whole bunch of things in the process.Thanks a lot for starting this project! I'll love you when you finish the translation.

I can figure that saves can break if character sets are edited or names are hacked so they can be longer etc.
They don't break stuff, they improve the game! : P
"Hey, do you know Argus?"
"Yeah, they developed SAO, right?"
"I think they cut corners when developing it."
"Nah, that's just your imagination dude."
Just found the IndieDB page, the concept art is making me laugh a lot.
Seems nice, didn't knew there were so many SAO fan games.

That one looks a lot better than any I've found so far. Guessing the translation group will finish before them, though
