I've looked into translating the Additional titles, but there are some technical roadblocks. Fromsoft lumped all the game files together and used a proprietary compression format. That makes the files very hard to extract/insert.
There was no need to use compression as the game is tiny so I think they were purposely trying to make it hard to tamper with. They even put some bogus misleading files on the disk whose purpose seems to be to confuse hackers. I would love to translate all the Additionals, but it would be quite involved to unravel them and I want to stay focused on finishing my SoM game for now.
If someone else gets past the technical parts (ie deciphers the compression format) I would try to make some time to help on other aspects of translating that don't require as much focus.
