Well I started translating some of the dialogue in HeartGold/SoulSilver. The dialogue however, is not meant to be a direct translation of the Japanese text, however, for text that was IN Gold and Silver, I translated so that was the same as in the original English versions. For some translations I even use some dialogue from DPP. But yeah, so far only the introduction has been translated, but yeah, it's a start...

Quote:
Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver Introduction Translation:

ふむ ふむ ふうむ……

Some people use their Pokémon to battle and develop
closer bonds with them……

わしは そんな ポケモンのことを
くわしく しるために
まいにち けんきゅうを
つづけている というわけじゃ!
But there are still many mysteries to solve!
That's why I study Pokémon every day!

--------------------------------------

It's a thoughtful gesture of you to do this for people who want to play the games in Japanese. I always got a kick out of their レッツ ゴー! hehehe...

Reread your post, this is dialogue.

Also translated some of the mother's dialogue. Translations, are probably not final BTW. One or two lines might not be 100% accurate at this point.

Quote:
あら [Name]!
やっと おりてきたわね
Oh, [NAME]…!
It's a good thing you came down here.


さっきまで おともだちの
コトネちゃんが きてたのよ
Just a little while ago your friend Kotone stopped by.

なかよしの マリルと
おいかけっこ してたみたい
She was chasing her friend Maril.

そうそう!
おとなりの ウツギはかせが
Oh, I almost forgot!
Our neighbor, Professor Elm,

あなたを さがしていたの
was looking for you.

なんでも あなたに
たのみたいことが あるんだって
He said he wanted you to do something for him.

はかせの けんきゅうじょは
すぐ となりだから わかるわね?
Did you know that the Professor's lab is right next door?

ところで……
By the way......

おうちから おでかけ するのに
わすれものは ない?
You're not going to leave without your things are you?

ひつような どうぐは
この バッグに いれて
Put any necessary items in this bag.

これは あなたの
トレーナーカード……
Oh, and don't forget your trainer card……

ほうけんの きろくは
この レポートに……
You can also check the time of your
adventure with the report.

それから これは
とても べんりなもの……
Those items will be very useful to you on your journey.

とにかく タッチして
つかってみれば わかるから
But, you'll need to understand how to touch to use them.

Interesting project you have going here. Good luck to you - would be quite nice to see what people say. =) (Particularly in the newer instances - I have suspicions dialogue is pretty similar to what it was in GSC for a number of NPCs...).

Yep and it will probably be the most accurate one, as I only copy and paste English text from Gold and Silver, if it the text being translated was in the original GSC.

Wait, you mean Hibiki/Kotone is your friend?
I thought (s)he was just "another character".

Wait, so are you going to actually release a patch or just do it...that way? .-.
If you're releasing a patch, you could just release a beta till X point every time...if not, that's a shame, I thought you meant you'd do that XD
