So, as some of you may have heard, Key recently confirmed at Animaga that an official English edition of Summer Pockets is now currently in production. So the obvious question now is, what does this mean for the fan translation, and Alka Translations as a whole?

Hey all, just a quick little addition to our social media outreach. Constantly checking the site on your own can get tiring (I’d know, I used to do it all the time before I became a member of the team!) so we’ve gone ahead and set up a Twitter profile. Those of you who use Twitter can give us a follow and turn on notifications and you’ll be notified any time we make a post here, so instead of having to keep up checking this site, you’ll know right away when there’s news, announcements, or translation progress updates!… READ MORE
Hey all! Some of you have noticed a couple pieces of Japanese text managed to sneak through into the Shimamon minigame.

Thank you.… READ MORE

I haven’t posted an update in about 2 months, so I thought it was about time to do another one.
We have finished translating all of the Shimamon images and most of the mini-game.
We are almost done with the common route – only 547 lines left. We are planning on releasing a common patch when we finish editing all the text and getting the Shimamon game working perfectly.… READ MORE
