New collaboration site and Kisaragi no Hogyoku translation announced
August 8th, 2010, by in Translation
In response to the ongoing cease and desist orders issued from copyright holders with regards to visual novel translations as well as some of the reactions from the fan translation community, a new project collaboration site by the name of Proper-permission has been set up. This Redmine instance is aimed at hosting translation related projects for which project members have obtained permission from the copyright holders of the original works. In a post by creator Agilis of the site, the first project to be hosted on this site would be a collaborative translation of Waitingforyouguys’s Kisaragi no Hogyoku, an iPhone adaptation of a web novel. An English translation of the trial version is currently available from the original creators.

A patch and survey issued by Sekai Project
August 1st, 2010, by in Release, Translation
Sekai Project has released a new patch for School Days that translates everything through chapter three of the game out of six total chapters. The patch comes in two flavors: an installer that installs the original game, the Japanese update patch and the English translation patch and a standalone installer just for the translation patch itself. The project team also mentions that they’ve been in contact with 0verflow since Anime Expo and wanted to help them with some information. Thus, they would like everyone to fill out their survey on content restrictions, pricing and distribution format. The information from this survey would be used to guide 0verflow in any plans to publish overseas.
