BTW, the guide is missing at least 1 weapon, a set of Twin Claws called Impact Claws.
You should check if they are not in a different name like it happened with me.
i was looking for the twin saber called Ke'nei but in the guide its called Dark blade.
or at least it was called like that at the time:-Dhope it helps.

Old Information from when the guide was still being written:
Spoiler!
Alright, I had mentioned earlier in another thread that because of me trying to help a non-Japanese-speaking friend of mine make the transition from PSP2 English to PSP2i Japanese, added with the decreased likelihood of SEGA of America bringing Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity to English-speaking territories, that I was going to create a Full Translation Guide covering the majority of Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.
I'm going to be using Microsoft Word to write this guide, including screenshots and Japanese text, while posting and upating this thread to track progress on the guide.
The things I plan to include:
· Translations of the majority of all the buttons and menues.
· Translations of basic terms. "Photon Arts", "Save Game", "Network Play", etc.
· Translations of the names of all Photon Arts.
· Which choices to make during storymode.
· The main objectives for Storymode on a chapter-by-chapter basis, and Parameters for getting S-Rank.
· Plot Script, so you'll understand 100% of the story. (That way, all you people whining about "I wanna play the story in English" won't be able to complain.)
· A complete overview and guide (with screenshots) on how Infinity Missions work and how to successfully synthesize missions. (I got really adept at Synthing missions over the past couple of months)
· Translations of Monster Spawn Tables for Infinity Missions (only).
· Glossary Indexes with names of the following translated:
===Inventory Items & Consumable Items
===Names of Weapons (You'll have to look up stats on your own, or the Japanese Wiki)
===Names of Bosses (I don't plan on doing names of basic Monsters. You can figure those out on your own.)
===Basic names and terms of Modules and Lineshields / weaves.
· A 2-page sheet of Hiragana & Katakana Alphabets translated to English so you can read / decipher Japanese on a basic level.
· URLs of places you can go to dig up more information.
With that having been said...
Here's where you guys come in. List off things you'd like to potentially see included in this guide.
In case I miss anything you feel is important, and I'll see about getting them into the guide as I write it.
I figure I'd do this since I guess I need a "follow-up" to the guide I wrote for Japanese Vanilla PSP2 on GameFAQs. That, and I have some time-off from college due having relatively easy classes.
And don't worry, I've done my best to make this guide printer-friendly and saved it into the form of a .PDF file.

The guide will be done eventually, but I felt that this was most important for a lot of you, so I released this first. Don't worry, for the most part I don't need help in translating. I know that "certain people" are eager to try and help, though. I appreciate the concern, but I'm alright.
... Also.
Something important I would also like to note. In order to use this guide I'm writing effectively, and in order to print it out, (if you are running an older operating system like Windows XP) the computer you are accessing it from MUST have East Asian Language Support to be able to view and have the computer recognize the Japanese characters in it. Most of you already have this covered and don't need to worry, but those who don't, I'm letting you know now.
To Enable this on a Windows PC, you may go to START >> Control Panel >> Regional and Language Settings to add support for Japanese there.
Mac users shouldn't have to worry about this, though.
=======
Quoted for those who're still concerned about the English Patch that ColdBird is working in and keep asking me about it:
by the way i like your translation guide put im counting on coldbirds english patch to come out soon cause im not gunna stare at a computer just to look at words lol no offence but

Try using Adobe Reader. If you don't have it, search on google for it, it's free to download.
