Wow, that's so cool! Did you know in the KR version of TL, they have a blind date feature? It's similar to where a Mii set up two Miis, expect it's the Mii themself that is doing a blindate with another Mii! I heard there's an eng fan translation of it somewhere, but I figure I'll let you know.

Hello, I wanted to try my hand at translating Tomodachi Collection: New Life into English since I love the regional differences in the game. But I like being able to understand what I'm reading most of the time lol. Right now, I've translated a good chunk of the message folder's game.bin (mostly system files, map information, the tutorial, etc.), to where I can play for a bit before needing more work.

Here's all that editing in real view, I'm not encountering that many problems with Japanese exclusive-stuff like blood types or the island naming scheme.
For a rough draft, it's looking pretty good so far to me. I'm also trying my best to keep the integrity of the original text without it being too lengthy.

Also, I do know I could just play the NA or EU version, but I like projects! Maybe I'll release this as a kind of patch one day, similar to how theres an English translation of the original Tomodachi Collection (I believe).

What I have fully translated right now includes:
  • Album
  • Birth
  • Birthday Party
  • Child
  • City Hall
  • Clock
  • Distribution
  • Edit
  • Friendslist
  • House
  • Song
  • SongG
  • System
  • Time
  • Tutorial
  • Wanderlist

Soon! I'm still working on this, and college is about to start back up after today so progress may be a bit slower.
I do hope I can release this by June or July, I'm very excited to share this with others!

Screenshot dump for those of you who want to see how things look in-game + notes :

Oh if you're wondering why "itadakimasu" is not "thanks for the meal," I thought it would a bit awkward since Miis say that even when given medicine. So I used a more literal meaning to get around it for now.

And! The happy birthday song has lyrics here! Such a small detail but I prefer it to the humming they used to get around copyright troubles in the other versions.

(Bonus dialogue I couldn't get to naturally trigger is in attachments, didn't want the post to be too long.)

if you dont mind me asking, how are you able to modify tomodachi collection: new life with kurimuu? it was my understanding tht you need a rom of the game to extract the files from, but i couldn't find one. Did you find one? or did you dump it from an official copy?

Unfortunately can't link it here :(

I dumped the rom using HackingToolKit3DS. I actually don't even own a 3DS anymore!

that's looking really good :)
i fell pretty unpatient to see the result once the initial version release (especially see Tomodachi Life (finally) get his sequel on Switch ^^ )
 
awesome to see this is still going strong! also i had to get a new account since i couldnt log into my old one for some reason. glad to see this is still up regardless! also, don't feel like you need to push on, especially if you're busy. im glad you're working on this a lot but just remember to take breaks!

I am working on it when I can :)
I was not expecting to be so busy, so I'm not sure I can predict when I can get a release out.

It certainly looks like an English version now though!
