As we had known, nnl started translation for ef -a fairy tale of the two- 2 years ago. It had ran well, with about 16% translated in the first 2 weeks (IIRC). But not long after, nnl confirmed that the project died, since the staffs were busy with their own life.
And just a few days ago, I crossed into a translated ef -the first tale- executable! It seems that nnl secretly working underground (or maybe just I didn't know) and just released the translation few weeks ago. Nevertheless, the patch bring a hope that ef would be translated in near future.
The patch only contains chapter one (Miyako's route). But it's a standalone executable, means people without the original ef copy, could play the game. I'd still recommend you to try it though (since it's Makoto Shinkai drawing!).
