The (Japan-only) Corpse Party game for 3DS is a port of the PSP game and the PSP game was localized. So we already have a finished English script. We just need to copy that to the 3DS game.

Can anyone who knows about hacking do this? It shouldn't be difficult?

Your title has pissed me off and I hate you for it! I came here expecting to see a patch for this game and was like, "YES! YES!" Now I am upset because there's not a patch and I hate you!
edit: Satan agree with me

You mean Corpse Party BloodCovered: ...Repeated Fear? Well yes there was a official translation for the PSP and IOS. The 3DS version wasn't translated so you'd have to find a way to extract and modify the games script. It's still going to take a lot of work because I'm sure you cant transplant the English PSP script into the Jap 3DS game. Everything would have to be typed in manually and maybe other modifications need to be done to get the English script to fit where the Japanese script was. Then there is the Japanese image files will either have to be remade into English. I'd talk to the person who did the SMT Persona 2 Innocent Sin translation and maybe he/she could help you out other than that id just get a PSP or even PPSSPP.

Yup, the 3DS and PSP versions use completely different data types. The text box also has much harsher text limitations than the English PSP version, meaning either the game would have to be completely rewritten for things to fit, or there'd have to be in-depth hacking to either change how the font works, or add more dialogue boxes.
And that's not even taking into consideration some of the custom additions made to the English PSP version, like subtitles for sound-only dialogue.

Then there is the Japanese image files will either have to be remade into English.
That'd be the easy part of translating it, honestly. It wouldn't require any additional hacking just to translate images.

But they even localized both PSP games when the console was dead.

Still, someone should start porting the PSP translation to 3DS now. It can't be THAT difficult.
It came out in 2011, the PSP was still going around that time.

The mods shamefully changed the title. I know that there is a fiinished translation and I know that somebody needs to work on this already! NO EXCUSES!

They changed it because it's not a fully translated version of the 3DS version, it's the PSP version. Therefore the title was extremely misleading and even clickbaiting.
Now, if you can move the text from the PSP version to the 3DS version, that would be different story.

I can't because I'm not into that stuff, but I know people who are. And they should do it NOW! For the sake of the community!
