IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a makeshift patch created from the demo patch and the translation files posted by the translator
when he announced the translation was stalled. (http://libraryshepherd.tumblr.com/post/118659990435/absence)

As such, please don't bother the translator about the inevitable brokenness of this patch as it's not his fault. If you
encounter bugs or other problems you can instead send an e-mail to vdz@stack.nl and I'll see if I can fix it (no
guarantees though, I just hacked this thing together).

I'm not entirely sure how much this patch translates exactly. What is most likely translated:
- Entire normal common route
- Kana normal route
- Ureshino normal route (unedited?)
- Part of Shirasaki/Mochizuki routes (unedited)
(based on https://i.imgur.com/tFQVCT7.png)

This makeshift patch was released on May 11th, 2015.

Below follows the original demo readme:

==============

Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai Demo Patch Readme
--------------------------------------------------------

a) Introduction

This english translation patch is for the regular edition of Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai. It translates all the scripts up
till the end of the trial edition of the game, as well as almost all system messages and some images. Most menus on 
the system config screen remain untranslated.

---------------------------------------------------------

b) Applying the translation patch

1) First, ensure that the game works without the patch installed. Run the executable and ensure you can start the 
game in Japanese.
2) Back up the following files in the game folder, and place the backups in a separate folder: data01000.arc, 
data02810.arc, sysgrp.arc, sysprg.arc, system.arc.
3) Extract all the files in this archive to the main game folder. Overwrite files when prompted.
4) If you do not have the SimHei font available, install it.
5) Start the game. If the window title shows the name of the game in english, the patch has been applied.

-Note: The patch will turn all Japanese characters into unreadable text. If you wish to switch the font to something
that can display Japanese characters while maintaining the translations, restore system.arc to the original version.
However, much of the english text will be so weirdly spaced out as to be fairly unreadable if you do so.

-Note 2: This patch has only been tested in Windows 7 with Japanese locale.

--------------------------------------------------------

c) Differences between patches/game versions

You cannot use  translation patch of the trial edition with the regular edition of the game, or vice versa.

There are slight differences between the translation of the consumer edition and the trial edition (mainly a handful
of different lines), but in general, if you have the regular edition available, it is the better one to use. If you do not
have either edition and wish to give the patch a try, you may download the trial version from August's official
website (http://www.august-soft.com/daito/download.html) and use the translation patch for the trial edition.

Saves from the regular version will be usable once the full patch is released. Saves from the trial version cannot
be ported over to the regular version.

---------------------------------------------------------

d) Known bugs

-Some letters, especially capitals will overlap slightly with each other. 
-If you load a saved game which was originally played in Japanese, the first line you see will be gibberish. The next 
line will be in English as normal. The same happens if you load a save game which was originally played in English
after removing the English patch files.
-Voice Auto option in System Config doesn't work. This seems to be a bug with the original game.

---------------------------------------------------------
