Video games you would want to translate yourself

What video games would you want to translate yourself if you had the skills

 

[OmegaPunch's iconOmegaPunch]

The Summon Night games from 1-4.
There hasn't been any English translations for these games for YEARS and I don't think they're getting one any time soon.
So, I decided to learn Japanese so I can play them and ( hopefully) give them an English translation so everyone can enjoy them.

I've slowly been trying to translate Ocarina of Time into Swedish through the Ship of Harkinian version. So far I only know how to edit the text boxes since it's just a giant document, but it's been a dream of mine since I was little to translate a Zelda game.
The swedish letter Åå doesn't exist in the fonts it seems, so I have to settle by using Ââ (which isn't a letter) because it's easy to mistake it for Åå at a glance. It's been super fun so far, but quite a challenge!

Letters Ä, Ö, and Å are probably hard to put into old video games

I'd also want to translate the Black/Matrix series, as it's made by the same developers of Summon Night.

Ah I see now that you're finnish so you'd be accustomed to them aswell.
Ää and Öö works fine since the omljud ¨ symbol is standard for almost every keyboard and font type, so that's no problem generally, but there are so few languages in the world where Åå is used, so I'd have to inject a font that supports it, then (if I remember my brother correctly) find a way to make it so that they key would call for that glyph instead of a blank space which it is right now.
Hopefulle I'll figure it out one day.

All the Boku no Natsuyasumi games that haven't been translated. It's a crime they aren't easily accessible in all languages

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the first game to get an English patch, so I can play all of them

 

[thanonyx]

All of them, every single one, in every spoken language on Earth. That way everyone can play every game ever made, just 100% access to the entire human race. I want everyone to be able to enjoy any game they want without having to worry about language barriers.

I remember this game did have an English translation project, but it was abandoned or it's stuck

I really want to do a Brazilian fan translation of Okage: Shadow King.

 

[Aisf]

The Doko Demo Issyo series. Since the company that owns the series isn't interested in America.

 

[taigaisak4]

Minus 8 for the PSP

i´ve never played it but the art style seems soooo good, it would be awesome to translate such a niche game like this

I used to watch a former-friend's daughter play that game as a kid. She loved it!
