I've translated the story guides and recipe lists up to chapter 2. The Japanese names of items are listed the first time they show up so you can try to match characters, though eventually I'd like to put in the proper icons. Chapters 3 and 4 should be coming within the next few days.
Man, the most time-consuming part is actually looking up the English names for items taken from other DQ games.
Good stuff this should help out new players.
