I wasn't happy with the English in the existing Nayuta no Kiseki fantranslation, so I used their publicly available tools to make my own edit. Initially I only wanted to only fix various inconsistencies, nonsensical lines, and the awkward direct-from-Japanese punctuation and sentence structure. Since I can read zero Japanese, I started out by using Google Translate and Linguee for help on trying to gauge what the more confusing parts were even trying to say, and editing the rest of the English myself. But in addition to some parts simply not making any sense, I later noticed others had made some modicum of sense, but the online translators (especially after discovering DeepL, which lets you manually fiddle with alternative translations) made much more sense than the original. It seems that knowledge of the context is something that the original English writers were missing for much of the dialogue. Some of the more drastic changes in meaning have been things taken almost literally from these online translators. I ended up also changing the rest of the text to whatever I, as a native US English speaker, subjectively think might sound better, taking into account the original translation, any new machine translation(s), and what I knew about the context. But I'm not a big creative writer, so I think it still might be drier and closer to literal Japanese compared to most previous official localizations: lines with simple phrases or sounds in Japanese like eh or naruhodo are replaced with simple phrases or sounds in English, rather something potentially more expressive, meaningful, or entertaining. However, now I believe the English to be actually comprehensible. For instance, yappari is no longer almost always 'as expected,' even when one of the many alternatives or similar English phrases make more sense. But again, I don't even know Japanese, so maybe I just made everything worse, especially for anything more nuanced. I would appreciate reporting of any issues: technical bugs, mistranslations, lore inconsistencies, or even just general English weirdness and typos. I've fixed a number of mistakes, but it is possible that I missed some. There are a few remaining issues.
