Non Directional Translations's
Gundeadligne
DvD completed a lot of graphics hacking for this translation, before it had to be abandoned. All of the graphics behind the original text had to be regenerated to allow English text to be put on it. DvD recreated the graphics and added the new text completing a very tedious task. Unfortuntaely it hasn't been released yet and probably never will since the official translation can now be purchased. :(
