Chrono Trigger Translations
Contents
General Information
Since ROM Hacking became accessible and practical, many fans of the game around the world have started translation projects to port Chrono Trigger to their language. Some were more successful than others, but the most notable translator is bisqwit, whose utilities called Chronotools allow translation into any language by budding ROM hackers. Just make sure you're damn, damn good in C.
Now, enjoy the international efforts of fans, and check out the translations below. All translations are complete unless otherwise noted.
English Retranslation
KWhazit and the Chrono Compendium undertook an English retranslation to clear up questions regarding the original plot of the game. In order to obtain the highest accuracy possible for plot points, the retranslation leaned on the literal side.
See Retranslation.
English Re-retranslation
Doctor L attempted to clean up the Chrono Compendium Retranslation and make it a little less literal.
LethargicOwl Addendum
LethargicOwl then provided an addendum: "This is an updated version of Doctor L’s released translation that fixes many issues and further localizes the text, with the final product hopefully being something closer in quality to an official translation."
Finnish Translation
This was undertaken by Bisqwit, who has some translation tools at his website.
