Currently, the patch is incomplete, but a preview version is available here.[drive.google.com] This patch should work for both the Steam (both the Chinese and international versions) and non-Steam versions of the game. Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

How to install: Extract the archive to your game directory (\steamapps\common\Chinese Paladin 5 Prequel) and replace original files (backup recommended if you plan on playing the game in Chinese, but the files can be restored through verifying the integrity of your game files).

How's the translation?

Thank you, djlpap! It's been my plan to work on 5 after the prequel, but I've not made too much headway. Appreciate your work! :Mormolia:

Hi Mew, I'm glad I found this post. I've actually also partially translation PAL 5 (not prequal) when the game was not available on steam yet. I'm not a Chinese speaker but I had help from family and friends. However, I haven't worked on it for the past 3 years. I would love to share the work and perhaps you or someone else can pick it up or at least translate more of the script.

It contains the modified data folder with partial translated script. The tool I wrote to edit the script xml, a modified font file and the partial translated script and my translated word documents. Hopefully they can be useful.

Its about 20% of the script that has been translated, so very partial but In terms of game play, its about 3-4 hours worth.

Hey there, this is going to be a long-term project with no definite date of completion. I tend to make some progress when I have large chunks of free time, but real life hasn't been giving me enough of those lately. :ALsleepemoji:
