On the 27th of July 2019, Robert of Normandy, previously credited for ASM Hacking in the 2014 revision, launched a separate updated version of the translation after work on the 2014 revision halted.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Robert of Normandy|url=https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/88484-fe3-translation-patch-bugfix-update-current-version-020/|title=FE3 Translation Patch "Bugfix" Update|site=Serenes Forest Forums|published= July 27, 2019 |retrieved=January 23th, 2021}}</ref>This updated version mainly focusses on polishing up the script and fixing remaining bugs, as most translation work had already been done in the previous revision.

There are multiple current patches of note for ''Thracia 776'', each with a different focus. The first and the least-known one is a menu patch by ''Luxifer Angel'', last updated in 2003, which translates only the menu text and leaves the dialogue untouched.<ref>{{cite web|author=Luxifer Angel|url=http://www.romhacking.net/translations/624/|site=Romhacking.net|title=Translations - Fire Emblem: Thrakia 776|retrieved=May 22, 2012}}</ref> The other, more known patch was the work of ''Shaya'', which translates most of the game's script, but some of the menus are left untranslated and in a questionable state. It was last updated in 2008, with ''Shaya'' claiming no intent to do so again because of the interference of life. The ''Shaya'' translation has been criticized for its lackluster and sometimes erroneous script, occasional out-of-place jokes or references, the poor quality of its menu translations (such as some of the options being displayed as garbled text), and having bugs (notably including a crash when hovering over certain units in [[The Baron in Black|Chapter&nbsp;24]]).

There are tentative plans for the Project Naga team to eventually create a new patch after completing their work on ''Genealogy''; so far, this project has progressed no further than preliminary hacking experiments by ''DDSTranslation''.<ref>{{cite web|quote=Someday... <!--https://t.co/RdAGrVE1nQ-->|url=https://x.com/DDSTrans/status/723716186383388672|title=Puppypizza on Twitter|author=DDSTrans|site=Twitter|published=April 23, 2016|retrieved=June 30, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|quote=So far, the game's code seems identical to FE4.

In June 2017, ''ChimeraHardline'' posted a new menu translation patch on the Fire Emblem subreddit.<ref>{{cite web|author=ChimeraHardline|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/6ds5sm/thracia_776_complete_menu_translation_patch_with/| site=Reddit|title=Thracia 776 complete menu translation patch, with double-roll RNG|published=May 28, 2017|retrieved=July 5, 2017}}</ref> This patch is similar to the {{FE4}} patch by ''Project Naga'' in that it has a variable width font for all menu items. ''ChimeraHardline'' has announced that he intends to insert a translated script in his patch at some point in the future.

At the time, coming off the heels of the attention garnered by [[Roy]]'s appearance in {{SSBM}} and the international release of {{FE7}}, it was assumed and hoped by some that an official translation of ''The Binding Blade'' would soon follow. When such a release failed to eventuate, a fan translation project began, developed by ''DarkTwilkitri''{{'}}s "DTN Translation Division". The patch was first released in 2005 under the title ''Sword of Seals'', with development continuing until 2007 and the last stable release being distributed in 2006; progress ended in 2007 when the members of the team found less and less time to work on the project.
