The Japanese version of this game was recently released. And guess what? Being the curious person I am, I decided to dump the game files and guess what I found. English files.

For Pioneers of Olive Town, we had wonderful volunteers (@JokerD @ehnoah) who were successfully able to create an English patch so using their work as an example, I have decided to create a patch as well.

The patch was fixed mainly by this wonderful person named Raugo.

YUZU USER MINI GUIDE:
1. Right click game in Yuzu list and choose "Open Mod Data Location."
Folder will be like "AppData\Roaming\yuzu\load\
0100936018EB4000"
2. Extract the zip file and place the patch in this folder.
3. Right click game in Yuzu list again and choose "Properties."
You should see it already checked in the window. "patch | LayeredFS"
4. Make sure it is checked, hit OK and then run the game as normal.

RYUNJIX USER MINI GUIDE:
1. Right click game in Ryunjix list and choose "Open Mod Directory" Folder will be like "AppData\Roaming\Ryujinx\mods\contents\0100936018eb4000"
2. Extract the zip file and place the patch in this folder.

SWITCH USER MINI GUIDE:

1. Extract the zip file and place the romfs folder into atmosphere/contents/0100936018EB4000

Pass: raugo for patch.7z and aespa4thgenleaders for Patch Creation.7z
There are other languages available as well; download the patch.7z for the English patch and the Patch Creation.7z for other languages. Make sure to read the steps in readme.

One last thing and the most important one: support the devs by preordering/purchasing the SoS games if you’d like to see the series continuing in the future!

all you need is standing in the text.
there are 2 passwords (1 for each archive)
and in the readme inside the archives is standing how you use it for ryu, yuzu and switch

I'm Thai but I can't find any Thai language patch. Is there a Thai language patch? Please, please. Thank you very much.
Sadly, Thai is not available. You will find the same languages that any other first party Switch game would have. Many demand for languages such as Portuguese and Thai from Marvelous but all we can do is sit and hope they localize one day.

Please support the devs and purchase the game after wherever you get the game files. This series needs it the most at the moment for it to keep going on.

I hope so. I love A wonder full lite very much. I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a memorable childhood memory. I love Harvert moon and Story of season, but unfortunately it's never available in my country's language. since the birth of this series

Thanks for this. I'm glad I thought to randomly check up on this to get the text wrapping fix. This is awesome.

Side note: I wonder why they keep leaving full localizations in their much earlier Japanese releases. Weird.
Because it seems they tend to work with global release in mind, but something comes up, they can't do that and they are afraid removing those files will break something, so they leave them (for now if they plan to do it at some point). It's much easier to just force in code language without touching rest of code (if compiler will detect that code for other languages is not in use, it may remove unused code automatically - but this depends on many factors) and files.

This is not a rare occurrence in such cases.

Interesting. Someone on one of these teams must be quite optimistic considering these games have always released earlier in Japan, and the powers that be have yet to allude to that changing. Yet the fully-completed localization has been included in the past three main entries for this series. In all honesty, I was asking about the likely unknown "something went wrong"—thrice in a row—part of that, but it may simply be something we never find out.

Out of curiosity, are there other franchises have done this multiple times, even if non-sequentially? I wasn't even aware this happened until 牧場物語.

It's not always related to English language, and more often it's about ports of games to other platforms. From franchises f.e. Little Nightmares, WRC and Saints Row on Switch don't support officially Polish language though they have fully functional translation files included with game. I have unlocked Polish language in around 100 games on Switch with just IPS patches (including Saints Row 3 and IV) and multiple with exefs/romfs mods (including Little Nightmares 1 & 2; WRC 8, 9, 10, Generations)

Thanks for the info.
Can the save data for this be transferred to English release later?
For what it's worth, I did that successfully with Pioneers of Olive Town using JKSV. This is a different game though. 50/50?
