If the translation existed it would most likely be listed here:

There isn't a translation for this game on Saturn though; reason being that the game was released in the US on PS1. It takes a considerable amount of time and effort to translate a game (N64, PS1, Saturn and up take a lot more effort than 16-bit titles); usually if a game has seen a US release on one platform there is not much drive to translate another platform. Most translators would probably want to pick up a game that has not seen a US release to bring in something new.

However, I did notice that on December 1st something called Grandia Redux was released... looks to be a patch for the original game that tweaks and changes things up :!:

There's a text script on Gamefaqs. If you really want to play the Saturn version you can read along with that, although the entire game isn't there. That's how I played the game back before the PS1 version existed.

If given the choice, I'd probably play the PS1 version just for simplicity, but I don't know of what downgrades had to be made for the PS1 version
