hey Hasel thanks for your amazing work in translating the the vn. Never hoped that the psp version would ever get translated... I was thinking since nowadays almost everyone has smartphones so wouldn't it be convenient to translate the android version of steins gate to english? Although the android version already has a eng translation but it isn't complete and full of typos and errors... Since I don't have any knowledge about these type of things, can you do an good english translation of the android version of steins gate? (if you have time that is) El Psy Congroo...

Sadly, I'm not going to do that.

I actually used the available Android translation as the main source of text for this patch. This reduced the worked greatly, since Android translation followed the word-for-word line-by-line translation (+-3 lines in some files).

The translation of the Steam version isn't like that. I don't remember the exact numbers, but the Steam version is about 100 lines shorter than the original Japanese game ONLY in the Prologue chapter. Imagine how much work would it be to adjust all ~180 scripts files if there is so much difference? This is also the reason why I didn't use the Steam English translation for this PSP patch, there is just simply too much difference and too much manual editing required.

I hope you aren't too upset by this.
