About this mod Machine translation
An English translation (or at least an improvisation) of Vicn's mod GLENMORIL.
GLENMORIL is Vicn's second large-scale mission mod, the spiritual successor to VIGILANT and a (possible) prequel to UNSLAAD. It's also still heavily under development, with only step 1 completed as of this writing. Just like VIGILANT, it's also originally only in Japanese (or Google Translate the curious English concept, if you're brave enough).
So I translated it. For now, here's everything.
Just like my old version of VIGILANT (before the voiced version), the same little disclaimer still stands: I don't actually speak Japanese. ...please don't run away.
I swear to you, I didn't just throw a bunch of English words together and hope it came up with some vague meaning. Even for completely amateurish works, there is a lot of translation work. Of course, it's not perfect, and most likely I translated something or worded it in a weird way, and then I took some creative freedom and improvised a little here and there... but it all makes sense (at least it should). You can follow the story without any problem (at least I'd like to think so).
If you still need convincing, here's what it says in translation (with a very outdated description):
Spoilers: Show
Well, you get it now.
I hope you can try my translation. If you find any errors or know something about how to translate better, please let me know. Especially if you actually speak Japanese, unlike me.
Update 23.8.2017: Since version 0.3.1.1 the translation is no longer so amateurish, thanks to the excellent Kachua and Logeres who checked it and corrected my mistakes. These have been corrected. :) See the changelog for more information.
Update February 8, 2017: The correct translation for the Act II introduction is now available. For GLENMORIL 0.4.2.
Update 19.5.2017: Updated translations for GLENMORIL 0.5.0 and added more corrections via a123999.
Update 25.6.2019: Updated translations for GLENMORIL 0.60.0.
UPDATE 28.2.2020: Updated translation for GLENMORIL 0.70.0 (first SE version!)

The mission begins at the Gate of Phorcas. Look for Brandt and Lallana.
enjoy.
Classic version
Q: Do you have permission for this?
A: Vicn allows anyone to translate his mods, so yes, I do.
Q: So, what is actually translated?
A: ...Everything is currently in the mod. real. This includes books.
Q: I found a translation error.
A: Great, please tell me where you are and your suggestions on how to fix it and I'll be happy to correct it for the next update.
Q: Is the translation final so far?
Answer: Unlikely. Things may change based on how well I understand the first version of the translation, what new content comes with each update of the core mod, and my understanding of mod-specific lore (and shout-outs to other titles). More like, things will change. Don't pay too much attention to the text - this translation is as much a work in progress as the mod it translates.
Question (inevitable in the future): GLENMORIL has just been updated. Can I still use your translation?
Answer: No, absolutely not. My translation is a replacement for the original Glenmoril.esp and I will have problems if I use my .esp with the newer .bsa. At best, you'll lose all the new content that was added along with the update. And in the worst case, you get CTDs and corrupted save files. Wait for me to update the translation - I will update it even if it takes some time (depending on the volume to be translated).
Q: Dubbing, please joke!
A: Hold on to your horses, Glenmorrill isn’t even done yet. It's not even in alpha! The voice version will be available after the mod content is completed and the translation is completed. Not anytime soon.
What you absolutely need, without any exceptions:

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
