Some people here may remember from early this year when I posted a detailed analysis about the dialog text and translations in the NES Castlevania II, a.k.a. Simon's Quest: http://iki.fi/bisqwit/cv2fin/diff
That project has now bore fruit.
I present you two completed projects:
― Complete Finnish translation of the game: http://iki.fi/bisqwit/cv2fin/
― AND a re-translated English version based on the same knowledge. This translation was made really quickly, in just under three hours, which obviously does not include the months of background work that went into the both versions. (The URL is the same.)
Here is a demo video showcasing the first official release.

The niftiest thing: Automap feature. |

Fantastic. Though TASVideos probably takes most of your time, I'm always very delighted to see you hacking.
Very professional. |

| Wow, a English retranslation. I've been waiting for one of these, as I imagine alot of Castelvania fans have too. It'll be good to see the dialogue in a closer translation. |

Just a heads-up: I have done a lot of updates to the translation since my last post here. As of this post, the translation is going at version 2.2.2.
The full list of changes is listed at ROMhacking.net, but shortly, the font now looks nicer, there is a save&load feature, the game can now be installed on a really wide variety of different donor cartridge boards (provided you swap the ROMs for EPROMs), and quite a few bugs have been introduced and subsequently fixed.
Some screenshots:
