could you point me to where the progress is located?
All I found is this (google translated) :

5 November 2017
Unpacking game resources - 95%
Redrawing fonts - 100%
Translation of the plot - 2.4%
Translation of magic - 100%
Translation Guide books - 0%
Translation of familiar techniques - 40%
Transfer of inventory - 50%
Redraw graphics - 10%
Translation of animation clips - 100%
Translation of in-game videos - 100%


I don't see where you found 30% for text translation, it's more 2.4%
I added your website to the first post, I just want a confirmation for the percentage.
thanks for giving progress on your project

 

[DmitriyRUS]

You all looked right. 30% is the sum of everything. How much exactly I can not say.

Translation of magic - 100%
Translation of the plot - 2.4%
Translation of familiar techniques - 40%
Transfer of inventory - 50%
Translation of animation clips - 100%
Translation of in-game videos - 100%
This is all text.

if I put 30%, that will give people a very high hope.
what you did so far is very few in all the work you need to accomplish.

you can put a lot of 100% if you want
extracting the video : 100%
decoding the video : 100%
translating the video : 100%
applying the new text to the video : 100%
checking grammar in the text of the video : 100%
reencoding the video : 100%
testing the video on the console : 100%
translating the game plot : 2.4%

See, the sum is even better
yeah, game is 90% completed !

no, unfortunately, the big part is the main script and I think you should base your progress on that only.
or you make it with "bloc" count.

a better way to count is to use how many bloc you translated. a bloc is a "message window" displayed on the screen, it can be up to 3 or 4 lines of text.

the games has:
700 Imagen with names and descriptions (1400 blocs minimum)
500 items with names, descriptions, and battle effects (1500 blocs minimum)
300 skills with names and descriptions (300 blocs for skills name, 300+ blocs for descriptions)
more than 100 special items with names and descriptions (200 blocs minimum)
Main script has more than 34 000 blocs
for a total of 37 700 blocs.

count how many blocs you did :
Skill name 100% ? so it's 300 blocs
Imagen techniques 40% ? let's say 100 blocs.
script 2.4% out of 34 000 ? 810 blocs done.

your real progress is : 1200 blocs out of 37 700, which is 3.18% total (I'll just put 3% in the first post for now. if you can make a proper progress number let me know and I'll update when you want)
it's far from 30%
But keep your head up and do one step at a time, don't lose hope. it's not a race, release it when it's done.

very nice start and preview of your work
There's no trace of residual Japanese (except the intro), you had to find all the needed string to do it ?
I'm sure the text you extracted is not ordered the same way than when you play. you had to search all the buttons and menus, NPC, etc.

anyone interested in getting this game translated into Irish? I have no romhacking skills but I speak Irish and I know another person who'd be down to do the translation aspect with me.

Looking good, man! Every time you get a menu or area in the game complete remind yourself that you are awesome.

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

Italian translation is dropped, no news for more than a year.

 

[Anjiera]

That's unfortunate, but I guess these things happen.

 

[DmitriyRUS]

A good video about the game Ni no Kuni!

 

[Anjiera]

Cool, thanks for the link!

Anjiera, I see you are still working on it, just wanted to express my warm feelings of encouragement in these dark months.

FYI: Just updated the top post on this discussion because...

WE FINALLY RELEASED OUR ENGLISH TRANSLATION!!!! WOOO! It feels so good to be done. Oh, and we also translated the entire Magic Master book. Just cuz. ()

Enjoy!

Also, if you are working on a translation in another language and would like to have our English source files, we can talk about making that happen at some point. Just, let us all have a week or so off of the project to unwind. Ha ha.

Wow! just... wow. The book is a piece of art!

However, a Mite is perhaps not something you wish in your party: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mite&t=ffab&iax=images&ia=images
I imagine a lot of discussion went over this probably, but personally I would have preferred Mitey :-)
