GameCube translations: overview, progress, and recruitment

[NewGBAXL]

I believe there are about 8 Wii translations, and 6 of them were done by @Brand Newman! Much thanks for your time and effort you put into these projects.

Me and @betterdragon2 are working on some GameCube translations, https://github.com/BttrDrgn/GCN-Translations
This is the current list of GameCube translations, not necessarily done by us.

High-priority projects:
Donkey Konga 3 - most of menu & game is translated, except for Dixie's Notes and buyable items.
Kururin Squash! - successfully located all text files and game is mostly translated. Polishing up custom textures.
Giftpia - working on completing and polishing
HomeLand - working on completing and polishing
Animal Crossing e+ - 70%? (Cuyler)
Nintendo Puzzle Collection - translated by Kafke, only Panel de Pon 64
"The Legend of the Quiz Tourment of Champions" (The Legendary Quiz Championship) - uses same formats as Nintendo Puzzle Collection

Easy projects:
The Tower of Druaga - already in English. Needs translated banner/icon/comment, region change.
Metal Gear Solid Bonus Disc - very little text

Anything not mentioned I don't have a strong interest in / not informed.

I want to help translate one of these, or a different GameCube game. What do I need to do?
Message me, lemme know the game, and get the following tools.

A Japanese text editor. It will turn the weird ASCII text into Japanese text.
A TPL editor, converter etc, whatever your preference. Switch Toolbox is highly recommended.
TXG to TPL converter. TXG is a package of multiple TPL's, used in Kururin Smash
gcr (GameCube Rebuilder), edit files in .iso's
some program to make patches (instead of distributing the rom..)


Screenshots/mockups:

I actually just forked PeterLemons GC repo and refactored the entire project to be more modular and better suited for clone-to-build pick up and go type development.

Mainly working on HomeLand but the base is there for literally any game.

Hello, thanks for your work.

I'm looking for the translation of a game, do you know if this game is translated somewhere? it is the japanese version of lost kingdoms 2, but it is not exactly identical and it adds extra content.

I do not know if this has been started anywhere but I can add it to our list for gcn-translations!
