Are all the translated blocks already inserted back to the game?
Do you rebuild the game frequently to see if it works and the conversation flow is fine, or do you re-insert only part of it (only the tested portion) and will have to merge them all before release?
Our current process grabs all of our images and text and crams them into our current patch file. We patch a clean rom with our xdelta file, so we always get the latest version of everything.

I actually own the PS3-version, but i want to wait so i can play this first ; )

You can play the PS3 version straight away, it's the same game with a bonus part at the end. ;)
There are some differences here and there, but it's not another story/a prequel-sequel.

same for me :)
I tried beginning of both, and I decided I'd play DS version first.
And I have a lot of other games to play while waiting, so it's fine waiting again few months.

seriously why takes so much time? there is already ps3 eng version so you just need copy and paste texts.
it's not as straightforward as you may think, there's tons of things to take into account, besides the story differs in some points, look at this thread: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/998014-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch/66220419 beware of spoilers though.

And that's just the peak of the iceberg:

graphic translation
The Wizard's Companion Book is also different

That's hilarious. The number of things that are not even similar between the games from a technology standpoint - designed for different screen sizes, TV vs small DS, and the battle system is totally different and the plot is significantly different, so... Yeah. That was probably the funniest thing I've read in this entire thread, so at least there's that.

If it was even remotely possible we would have done it already. Don't worry we're taking all the shortcuts that we can.

at any rate I played the DS japanese version (bought a copy) and while it looks GORGEOUS on my 3dsxl,
it feels like i'm missing 90% of the atmosphere due to not reading kanji.
When ni no kuni 2 comes out i'll buy a ps4 for it, and once ni no kuni 5 is out on ps6 in 2030 I can when I'm old and gray perhaps play an english rom of the DS - need to buy a backup ds machine in case the current breaks down.

FYI: If you're interested in seeing the sprites and backgrounds for the DS game to see just how nice they are, you can check out this rip on spriter's resource:

Also! I'm back from vacation, so I'll post more regular progress updates here.
