Below is a list of AliceSoft translation projects with links to their most complete translation offerings if applicable.
Official Translation Partnership
AliceSoft is partnered with English eroge publisher MangaGamer for western localization.[1] Production status for all of MangaGamer's titles (including those not from AliceSoft) can be viewed on the project status page of their official blog.
With the announcement of Evenicle 2, AliceSoft has begun direct publication of games to the English market, though several titles, including the Rance series, remain in production at MangaGamer.

Ongoing Fan-Translations (non-Rance)
Henderopa! (31.27% TL, 0.00% Edited)
A free doujin restaurant simulator from 2011. Protagonist (Hikari) is an isekai character living in the Ranceverse, making friends with characters such as Copandon, Maria, Shizuka, Leila, Julia, and many others, as well as cameos from non-Rance Alicesoft titles. Japanese DL: here
Mamanyonyo
Image work 100% completed by Vicusdanielson, programming work 100% completed by RottenBlock. All text in common between Widenyo and Mamanyonyo has been carried over, leaving the gameplay 100% translated. That leaves 33 H-scenes, only 5 of which have been translated (15%).
"Mamanyonyo - All Done But the H" patch is available for download (no H-scenes).
Translation of trial versions
Rance IX: The Helmanian Revolution Technology Test / Benchmarking Tool
The benchmarking tool of Rance IX (which is really just a technology test to verify if your computer could run Rance IX) was released by Alicesoft and translated by a member of the Rance Translation team on October 13th 2013. You can find a link to the fully translated copy here. If, for whatever reason, you want the untranslated version of the software, you can find a link for it here.
Other Translations
Evenicle Rance
A pre-order bonus for Evenicle, essentially a demo that puts Rance in Aster's place for the duration of Chapter 1. A number of cameos from later in the game make minor appearances. A translation by Douzo and lad translations was released to pirate sites on April 7, 2019, and does not appear to have a central site. The translation translates only the in-game text - GUI elements, including skills and equipment, are untouched.
Due to it's pre-patched nature no link can be provided.
Evenicle 2 Rance
A pre-order bonus for Evenicle 2, once again putting Rance in the main protagonist's place for the first chapter. Translators unknown, please edit if you know them. Released on January 1, 2020. The translation translates only in-game text - GUI elements, including skills, equipment, and in-game signs, are untouched.
Due to it's pre-patched nature no link can be provided.
