I won't lie, I had fun while translating, but that was only before the staggering amount of work crept up to me and drove me to exasperation...
It's also fun to be able to share the translated game with a whole new audience.
...but it's so much work. So. Much. Work.
You can do it though! Good luck! I'll be waiting to try the game out! :D
I'm also translating Final Fantasy 6 to Portuguese, for fun, for some years now, just a few lines now and then...
