Was this ever translated into English? Seems to have an official(?) Russian translation

And there's a Spanish version up on archive.org:

There was apparently an attempt to translate it at the Codex, but it came to nothing. I'm surprised they didn't just translate it directly from the Spanish version.

Looking for a copy of the Russian version if anyone knows where to find it

How easy is it to translate? Are there direct files or is it more complex?
Stuck at 99.9%

I suspect a mix of direct files and some embedded, using the Spanish version atm. Appears to have been professionally translated, it's odd that it got a russian and spanish translation but not an English one

Here's the manual, translated from illegal alien speak

Droiya appears to (somehow?) mean Icarus, by the way. The first game was in English and its title was 'Icarus' instead of 'Droiya'.

I see there's some text files in the MAP directory:
Event.dat (not a textfile itself, seems to be scripting, but has text comments. Can't figure out the encoding)
Prologue.dat (spaish)
TEXTDATA.DAT (somehow related to textdatam.dat)
textdatam.dat (appears to be the KR original?)
textdatas.dat (spanish version, GUI stuff maybe?)

Quest/Quest.qst is a binary file with embedded spanish strings

Bunch of the files in the Gui directory have embedded strings

[edit]
Passing this off to a friend to translate

There are screens with Russian(?) text. Surely there are Russians who could translate it into human speech?

But why would they share this breakthrough with us?
