# Ys V: Lost Kefin - Kingdom of Sand (PS2) English Translation
Currently using Sam Farron's translation from his [Translation Series](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoD4gkRCJkUcgfpU5puBqYy5DX-RJK--b) with permission
Currently using Sam Farron's translation as a basis from his [Translation Series](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoD4gkRCJkUcgfpU5puBqYy5DX-RJK--b) with permission.
# How to Help
Since this translation project currently uses an existing translation, it would be helpful to have people transcribing all the text in Sam Farron's playthrough since I'm focusing on the hacking side of things.
**If you want to help with the translation please [contact me!](https://kaisaan.github.io/pages/contact)**
# How to Help
If you want to help with the translation please join the project's [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/TNWGBGpZGN) or otherwise [contact me](https://kaisaan.github.io/pages/contact).
# Current Progress
Script extract and insertion is now done with [acbde](https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1392/) with miscellanous text being patched in with [armips](https://github.com/Kingcom/armips).
