We're currently working on a full Story patch for this game, which includes all cutscenes and story related dialogs, as well as all Side Quest dialogs. For now we don't plan on translating unrelated npc dialogs.
UI ONLY Patch Release (21.11.16):
We are proud to present our UI Patch for Monster Hunter Stories!! This "UI Patch" version does not contain any dialog translations. We advise anyone that cares for the full experience to wait longer for a possible localization or a new patch. The current state of the patch has 98+% of main UI and messages completed.

UI Only Patch Download (New 3ds only)
Note: o3ds users have to resort to rebuilding a cia or finding a prebuilt one.
Please look forward to our Story Patch release in the foreseeable future.
A glimpse of the story patch (which has yet to be released):
It seems you no longer have to use a prepatched cia (or patch one yourself) on an o3ds. It was posted a few replies back, but NTR has been updated to work with extended memory games on o3ds, so using the NTR plugin should work fine.Yo how would you patch this on a cia for an old 3ds or a 2ds please help anyone
The NTR plugin itself is about 11kb. The data for live patching the romfs doesn't count, as it's loaded by the game on the fly due to the plugin.Might have to be edited if it's 300kb or over I think to properly work on o3ds. That's what everyone's doing anyways.
So what exactly is left untranslated right now, does the current patch make it playable for someone with 0 japan skills at all?
I would also love to know this as well although no rush to the translaters.can you give a rough estimation on when the patch will be finished?

A glimpse of the story patch (which has yet to be released):
it all depends on the translators, if i had to do a rough optimistic estimate i'd say 1-2 months maybe. It all depends on when we finish the story stuff, how much polishing we will do, how long proofreaders will take etc.
Off topic but any plans for a MHXX translation when it comes out next month?
Glad you guys are sticking to stories.I currently have no plans on doing a patch for MHXX out of multiple reasons. Just a few:
things might change, but right now i'm not in favor of doing one.
- i want to keep my focus on Stories.
- a localization might follow shortly anyway
- using original script from mh generations is trouble (copyright)
- i don't want to do a half assed patch

Still, if you want to patch the cia, I think there's a post somewhere on gbatemp explaining how to patch cias, but you'd have to search a bit. If you want a prepatched one, you'd have to find one yourself too.
