My account here is new as well but I'm someone who's been keeping an eye on this thread and the restoration patch one for some time now and I felt I just had to comment.
First off obviously thank you to every and anyone involved with this for all the work that's been done so far. I absolutely on principal refuse to play the mess that NoA put out there even for free so this project means a lot to a fan.
Second however is a suggestion. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere (and I'm to lazy to search) but if it makes things easier, I'm perfectly happy with just a plain old text file of the support conversations. It sounds like the hard and time consuming part is actually implementing the translations into the game itself. If that's the case I have no problem having to refer to some document on the side and just matching up dialogue boxes with the file. It probably saves the translation team some time and effort and it should make some of the more impatient or ungrateful fans here happy by at least having something to refer to.
Again apologies if this has already been suggested or considered, I'm just hoping it's a way to make some people happy and avoid any more drama similar to what I saw when the original team called it quits.
