Hacking Has anyone tried to Russian English patch for "Air" with the English script?

In case this isn't common knowledge, there is a russian patch for Air (Vita version). Since the Vita version seems superior resolution and UI wise compared to the old 640x480 PC version, I wonder if anyone tried to replace the Russian text of that patch with the English fan translation for PC?

Edit: don't know what went wrong with the thread headline, it should mean...

Why would you want to translate a Russian translation to English, if the original Japanese translation already exists?

Because the game isn't in English on Vita, only in Russian

Great, but why would you want to translate from Japanese to Russian then English? It makes no sense. You'll only create more confusion and errors.

They don't. They hope to rip the Russian text out of the patch files and replace it with a pre-existing English patch that was used for the PC version. They're hoping to use the Russian patch as a vessel for a different translation since a big part of translation patches is the technical hackery used to make them work. No idea if that would actually work though.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Well OP, I think it is possible, you just need to take a look at the patch files and replace them with English (as well as potential graphics and CGs). This idea could be an easy job, but it could also be a lot of manual work.
