Hey guys! When the first mod came out for better subtitles (Faithful English Subtitles for Japanese Audio), I was happy as the one that comes shipped with the game fell short of my expectations since I prefer to play in Japanese dub with English subtitles. I only understand a bit of Japanese but I could still tell when the original English translation was off, and it bothered me. However, as grateful as I was for the mod, I found it fell short in a few areas:
Because of this, I wanted to improve on what was built before. After a week of work, I now bring to you this mod! I had a few objectives with this mod:
In case this wasn't already clear, yes, this was done via LLMs. Furthermore, this project was never meant to be a 1:1 or direct literal translation. Having said that, let's now move on :)
So far I'm pretty sure that all story content has been translated as they are all contained in the files bellow (I could be wrong, so let me know if this is the case):
I have opted to not translate Resident_TxtRes for now until I can get around to translating it. I have put it off for a bit as there is a lot to translate (paaaaaiiiiin).

Hey guys!

I only understand a bit of Japanese but I could still tell when the original English translation was off, and it bothered me. However, as grateful as I was for the mod, I found it fell short in a few areas:
- Progress seemed to stall, and subsequently, it was never finished
- Some translations seemed iffy
- It often tried to interpret the sounds that people made
- Sometimes when nothing was said, the characters name would be what was spoken
Because of this, I wanted to improve on what was built before. After a week of work, I now bring to you this mod! I had a few objectives with this mod:
- Improve translations further (sometimes require manual tweaking)
- Try to keep as much as the original intent as possible (while still sounding natural)
- The translations should reflect the personality of the character
- No interpreting sounds, instead display them as they are
- Get rid of characters names displaying when nothing is said
- Fix the song lyrics that Flower Keeper sings in Chapter 12
- Update any errors as I play more through the game
