As you all know I am going to make an atempt to translate the dialogue in Policenauts. Only problem is I don't know Japanese. Does anybody know of any web sites that have most or all of the script in English? Thanks.

The reason that the script hasn't been translated yet, as far as I can tell, is that there isn't a dump in Japanese even. While your enthusiasm is commendable, the task you are setting out to do is hardly possible at this point.

If there was a website with the script somewhere, the mood around here would reflect that!

Actually I found a walkthrough that translated most of the script. According to some people on this forum that walkthrough was written by you Osiris. All I can say is THANK YOU! You really have my project a hell of a lot easier!

Which one? I know I helped out Gordon Wallis with summarizing the story, yeah.

If you are talking about the walkthrough that I think you are it is just a basic summary of the storyline. Also, keep in mind that you would have to dump the game text and replace it after it was translated, a feat that this site is, and has been working on for some time. In a Kojima game where detail is so important, it would be very hard to piece together the storyline with just a summary and without a somewhat strong background in Japanese.

It was a real step by step walkthrough. And I won’t need to do any text dumping because I'm only trying to translate the recorded dialogue.
It will be a mater of removing audio files, giving my files the same names as those files and insert them into the game.
