So if you don't know, the Fate/Hollow Ataraxia translation project has been under work for a very long time. Earlier this year the translation was finished, but many of the lines were not validated, meaning that a good chunk of the translation was probably just google translate.
Most of the progress was being discussed on Beast's Lair, which is probably the biggest English TypeMoon community. There was no real "translation group" left working on F/HA, it was basically just a bunch of stragglers. However, Jacktheinfinite101 (a user on BL) was holding the entire project together and trying to validate what was left.
Well, that was until [url=http://i.imgur.com/za9ABTJ.png]gamecreater16 decided to create his own patch of the translation.[/url] The original post was deleted quickly, along with the download link, but it was reuploaded and posted on /a/ very quickly.

Anyway, in the end, the BL thread was locked, and[url=http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/55-Fate-Hollow-Ataraxia-The-validation-and-TL-patch-will-be-finished-when-it-s-finished-Stop-asking?p=1566027#post1566027] jack "dropped" the project[/url], at least temporarily. There is no telling when this will blow over, but it looks like the complete translation is even farther from our reach than it was before.
The game is playable with the translation, however. Most of it is translated decently, though some scenes are downright horrible. For example, I posted a couple shots of Rin's H-scene on /a/, and [url=http://i.imgur.com/3COKcuK.png]this is one of the worst ones.[/url] But the rest of the VN isn't that bad. You can read it for yourself by downloading Jack's incomplete patch (or gamecreater16's, but his requires you to use applocale)
