I have been trying to find English translations for some really cool-looking foreign games I saw on social media. It seems like a lot of the best art comes from non-English speaking developers, but playing with a translator app is a pain. Is there a specific community that focuses on fan translations or official English releases? I want a site where I can easily see if a game has an English patch available. Do you know any reliable groups that do this kind of work?
If you are looking for translations, https://f-95zone.com/ (https://f-95zone.com/) is the place where most fan translation groups actually host their work. There are entire threads dedicated to "Language Patches" where you can find English, Spanish, or even Russian versions of popular games. I often follow specific translators on that forum because they do a much better job than any machine translation. The site makes it easy because they usually put the available languages right in the thread title or the main description. If a game is only in Japanese or Chinese, you can usually find a request thread where people vote for an English patch to be made. I have seen many projects get translated purely because of the demand from that specific community. It is a very collaborative environment where people volunteer their time to help the scene grow. You should check the "Translation" tags in the game search to find exactly what you need.
This is exactly what I was looking for because manual translation apps are just not it. It's cool to hear that the community is so active that they actually take requests for new translations. I'll definitely look for those specific language tags in the search bar. Thanks for the help with finding a way to enjoy those foreign titles.
