Pokémon MindCrystal English Translation
General
This translation is a combination of ripping from the english version of soulsilver (152000/158000 lines) and translation of custom dialogue using google translate and what's left of what I still know from highschool french classes (6000/158000 lines). I tried to make sure that the message of these custom sentences got preserved but I have undoubtedly butchered some custom dialogue. If there's some issue that you encounter in your playthrough such as a typo or an NPC having the wrong dialogue, check the known issues section. If it's not in there already, notify me with the exact NPC, the message that they are sending and, if applicable to the issue, what message they should send. I will look into it ASAP.
The patch includes menu DECAPITALIZATION as well as Pokémon name decapitalization, this is a personal preference of mine.
Guide
1 - Check if the english patch is up-to-date with the current version of Pokémon MindCrystal, if not, refer to the compatability section to see if it'll still work correctly or not.
2 - Correctly patch a
FRENCH version of Pokémon SoulSilver using the xdelta patch for Pokémon MindCrystal that's available on the first page. This will create a new file.
3 - Check if the newly created file is 262.144 kB, if it's not, you've messed up the patching.
4 - Apply the translation patch to the newly created file you just got from the MindCrystal patch.
5 - Check if this newly created file is also 262.144 kB, if it's not, you've messed up the patching (again).
6 - Enjoy your newly created English version of Pokémon MindCrystal :)
Compatability
In general, the translation patch should be compatible with all versions of MindCrystal as long as they don't alter the root/a/0/2/7 file. What this means in normal, understandable English is that as long as an update doesn't add custom dialogue, custom abilities or any other thing that requires a new piece of text in-game to function, it should work. This means that patches that change stat values, wild pokemon data or shop items should always be compatible.
