E.V.O did, but apparently it was "infamous for having a poor translation", even though absolutely nobody I ever knew or talked to who played this game ever cared about it.
This Mega Man X3 retranslation looks worthless. It's just one of those otaku-shitter rewrites where everything needs its "original, unfiltered Japanese terminology".

The difference is Star Wars was written by English speakers, so their 'random' references actually make some modicum of sense. This is not the case for the Japanese. There is no 'musical' theme in these games other than their names. They are arbitrary and stupid. Megaman is objectively a better name for English speaking audiences.

Oh come on reploid is totally what the Japanese were going for there. You can technically get "replioid" out of the Japanese text since there's several completely plausible ways to transliterate Japanese texts, but you can often get what they're going for. Like for Repliforce the direct transliteration is "Repurifōsu". Now, did they just randomly decide to add "fosu" to the word or were they going for "Force"?

Sometimes you screw up with these kind of guesses (FFT translation for instance thought "breath" was "bracelet").

There is a time and place for them, and you're delusional if you think otherwise. I've laid out my thoughts on the matter, I have nothing else to say.

Hondoori corner put out retranslated scripts for X1-5, MM7/8/GB5
DuoDynamo does the same for X6
Only translation guides.
https://hondoori.wordpress.com/
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2BrAclSWcpMXlnX0h3NGM1aHc

Cpacpcom retranslated X series officially for PSP remake series, but canned it.
Only their MMX1 was published, then reused for iOS. Those scripts were ripped as well.

Zynk Oxyde (exiled from RHDN by resetera) used one of those scripts for Mega Man 7, which is missing all optional lines from the "localization". Justin3000 made a patch for MMX3 with playable Zero and a variable width font for use with "future retranslations".
Of course, Rockman and Forte got a fan translation that's much superior to the official one (which was very likely machine translated, but that might be more "localization flair" that "needs to be kept in" according to some)

Then, someone else reinserted the Hondorii translations for X2 and X3.

Then... comes a "relocalization" author.
You see, when EOPs used to take an already translated game and shit it up with made up shit, they used to call that a "rewrite" but no one would bite. So the new word is "relocalization" to make people confuse it with a "retranslation" (usually a romhack with the exact opposite goal) so that it gets more downloads, and if anyone complains they'll get a rant that's "how localizations are supposed to be".

This one took the MMX1 English rom and rewrote a bunch of it with stuff he found in the translations and then his own "interesting" writing.
Not content with that, he took the other two legit retranslations for MMX2 and X3, undid their title screen restorations, reintroduced all the changed names, chunks of the US dialog, his own dialog... to make them "relocalizations".

All of that for games light on story content...
The absolute state of pro-localization autists.

>this new translation
I hope whoever inserted it reworded some of this shit because it doesn't sound natural at all. Just compare this
>Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Take this X-Buster upgrade. The upgrade will increase the strength of your charged shots. You will be able to shoot 2 charged shots at once. If timed correctly, you can overlap the shots to create a single cross-charged shot. The upgrade will also allow you to charge any special weapon.
to the "retranslation"
>Dr. Light: X, enter this capsule.
>I grant you the Arm Parts which further power up your charge shot.
>You’ll be able to fire two charge shots and furthermore, by overlapping the two charge shots they’ll power up into the scatter shot, Cross Charge.
>And you’ll also be able to unleash more powerful attacks through charging all shot types.
It says the exact same thing but the wording is much more stilted, why would any native English speaker find this to be an improvement?

You're right. We need new Megaman translations that replace "Roll" (wtf is that shit) with Megagirl.

I made a thread on /v/ about this earlier, but I'm officially doing towards a translation of Tomato Adventure. No, I'm not the Legends of Localization guy. No, I'm not the guy who posted some comment on Youtube. I'm just someone who's bored during the quarantine and hasn't much better to do with their time.

With the limited tools and knowledge left behind when Clyde abandoned hope for this game, there's an abundance of glitchy shit that makes it very non-cooperative and doesn't make me hopeful that I alone will be able to complete the code and tech related parts.

I already have somewhere in the ballpark of 50% of this game's known text translated, but the real challenge is getting it into the game without horrible glitches.
So far, I've encountered many points where the game simply soft locks (usually before a cutscene) and I have to savestate in from a state made with a clean JP rom to advance further.
Also, the text has a lot of really bad errors and glitching, especially when invoking any sort of size change or effects. There are typographical errors here and there as well, but those are easy to correct in comparison.

Are you going to submit your translation to the Resetera Committee of Relocalization™? I hope you're not thinking about releasing it without our seal of approval.

The Viewpoint2064 prototype got translated.

If SJWs don't agree with the decisions made as part of the translation effort, they can write their own if they wish. I'm open to criticism which is backed up by facts, but not that which is steeped in opinion.

You won't be singing the same tune when we get Patrik Klepek to write an article on your translation choices, or Tomato to dissect your efforts on his website.

You should localize instead of translate, using random guidelines adopted by Nintendo of America more than 15 years ago. I mean, in the off chance that you actually get a job localizing stuff. And even if you don't, having the Resetera Seal of Approval™ means you won't be attacked by your choices. Win-win, don't you think?

The issue there is the game has a lot of spots where it's voice only without text. Adding text where there originally wasn't any can be quite challenging.
