Idolm@ster: Starlit Season Unofficial English Fan Translation and Ultrawide Mod [WIP] Thread

[KingKrouch]

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to say that I've managed to pull together some work to figure out how localization strings are being handled in the game, and as a result of it using Unreal Engine 4, this makes the process a bit easy (Although I still need to do more automation to my workflow, such as exporting pak files and converting the csv files I use to the proper locres files).

I suspect I'd have to put together a bit of a team with proper translation skills to pull a proper fan translation off, but I'm not quite ready to do anything yet, mainly because I'm honestly unsure if this game is going to ever get localized, as some folders reference an English locale, but consist of just dummy files at the moment. Right now, this is just a proof of concept.

As for an ultrawide/21:9 patch, I already have one up and running inside of Cheat Engine (Complete with the UI being centered on screen), although I need to get around to doing some C++ related stuff to detour functions to properly implement things. More updates on that part soon.

EDIT: A Prerelease build that consists of an almost complete UI translation is now available to download, alongside patch install instructions, instructions on how to buy the game, and a FAQ section.

EDIT 2: Here is a link to the Cheat Engine table for widescreen support. Keep in mind, that this will only work with v1.10 of the game, and I'll be looking into a patch fairly soon that will automate the process of patching the game's memory.

Even though there would be some probability for the dev to release an update (or for the worst, a standalone game) with official English localization in it. I thought that there would be a local translator that wanted to translate the game to their local language which usually got overlooked by devs or just fixing unprofessional official translations (if it was really released), your work on finding out how the localization works can be used by them, Isn't that great?

P.S Basa Jawa anyone?

Can you make a tutorial on translating the game? I think many people want to translate this game into their language. Anyway, thank u.

Where are you going to publish your work? I'm afraid bandai manco will try to prevent distributing it here.
