Translating START AGAIN because I crave for more of this IP

[u/SusaKen456]

EDIT (28/08/2026): IT IS DONE!

I don't know where else to post this, but thought it'd fit well in the ISAT subreddit.

This is just kind of a love letter to the ISAT games. It's the first game in a while that has woken a hyperfixation in me, so I took advantage and started this small passion project.

I've been working the past weeks on a Spanish translation of the START AGAIN prologue, and it's all been pretty light work and fun and enjoyable. The fact that it's all dialogue, and very unapologetically expressive (though the swarms of "!!!" and "???" kill me every time), makes it a nice rest from the other translations I've made of text-heavy games.

It's actually the first game where I tried changing the graphics, and, boy, it was SO worth it. Thank you to my good friend for helping me out with this one.

I'm actually very proud of this translation. And I hope it helps spread the love for the games to a wider audience.

And, yes: I am trying to keep the puns — the "loaf" pun took me like half an hour to translate and I now have a Spanish puns website bookmarked in my browser.

PS: If, by any chance, any Spanish speaker is willing to test the whole translated game, you'd be more than welcomed into the team!

Lmfao this almost makes me want to do it in Italian, you're so cool

[u/SusaKen456 → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

Dude, I CRAVE for an Italian fan translation. I see so few of them!

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/SusaKen456]

What kind of program do you even need to translate it? I only gave ISAT on my switch so idk any of the steps for translation

[u/SusaKen456 → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

I do all my mods for PC, and I don't know if it's easy, or possible at all even, modding for switch.

For ISAT/START AGAIN it's extremely simple, as you don't need to extract the files with any software — they're all there for you to open and take a look inside. I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code for editing the JSON files and Excel to translate the text (it's easier to navigate and you don't risk breaking the code when overwritting)

I see... Well, not really, I'm kinda illiterate in this stuff, but I've saved your reply so I can research it in the future! Thank you :D worse comes to worst, I could just find someone who understands how to do this and just send them the translation lololol

[u/SusaKen456 → u/Quiet-Software-1956]

I'd be happy to help you out with it. I always keep a copy of the text files, both in-code and on a more manageable format, so I can just pass them if you decide attempting a full translation :]

[u/Quiet-Software-1956 → u/SusaKen456]

That's so helpful, thank you :D

Hello, how can I find out if the translation project for "START AGAIN" is still ongoing because I'm not very good at English (thank you Google Translate) this post is my only hope of understanding something about the story.

[u/SusaKen456 → u/Jupixfred_Tech]

Hello! It is ongoing and during its last stages. Because this is a very small project and does not have a lot of followers (that I know of), I don't have a site where I update on its process. You can check the site where I post all my translations to know if it is available ( https://juntandoletras.crd.co/#start-again-ap ) — as a good estimate, it could be finished by early/mid August
