Better English Machine Translation for KK v5
This is a greatly improved machine translation of the parts of Koikatsu that aren't yet manually translated. While these translations are not as good as hand-made translations and still have some very obvious issues, they are much better quality than the usual online translations. As a bonus these translations are entirely local, so no internet access is required.
The areas this improves the most are H scene subtitles and dating events (from AfterSchool expansion). You need to have KK_Subtitles installed to see subtitles in H scenes.
Thanks to STN for help figuring out what needed to be translated and to Anon11 for testing.
What's new?
v5 - Fixed options having "OPTION:" text at the start
v4 - Fixed choices having "CHOICE:" text at the start
v3 - Fixed freeze at end of wedding scene
v2 - Fixed character names being incorrectly shown as [name] or variations thereof in some events.
How to use?
This is included in HF Patch, you don't have to install this manually if you install the patch. Note: Make sure to turn on KK_Subtitles if you want to see translated subtitles in H scenes.
If you don't use HF Patch then make sure your game translations are up to date, and download the latest attached archive and extract it directly into your game directory. Remove the "BepInEx\Translation\en\RedirectedResources\assets\zzz_MachineTranslation_v1.zip" file if you have it, or you might still get outdated translations.
Notes
You can see what version of HF Patch you have by opening the game launcher and looking in the bottom right corner.
If you don't see subtitles in H scenes then you either don't have KK_Subtitles or it's disabled in plugin settings. If you don't have this plugin, either reinstall HF Patch and enable it on the "mods to install" list, or install it manually from here.

If these subtitles are saved client-side, where are they stored? And can they be edited/tweaked? PS. Thanks for all you do!
They are client side, it's just text files inside a zip archive, you can edit them with any text editor. Check the translation github repo for more details and latest translations.
I installed the patch and have kplug on it, so how do i update?
If you have HF Patch already then just download and extract the file attached to this post.
Hello, would a French translation exist for the game? If so, how to activate it with the patch ?
Open game launcher and click the French flag to switch the language. Note that the translation quality is likely to be pretty bad since it'll use google translate.
where can I put for the subtitles? They do not come out, not even the option
You need to have KK_Subtitles installed to see subtitles in H scenes. When installing the patch remember to turn on KK_Subtitles if you want to see translated subtitles in H scenes (off by default).
how do you enable subtitles for H scenes

Wow, the translations are so much better! Kudos!
Do we need to unpack the ZIP file inside the nested assets folder, or is that unnecessary?
Nah, no need. RR will index the textdata into memory right from the zip archive, for AT to pickup and parse into the game. just drop bepinex folder into game directory as is, and you're gtg..
