HI, did game work fine before you installed translation?
Read how to activate game in first post of this thread.
Thanks. May be later, Hardest Interview is still not 100% translated, there are small number of texts in UI that need to be translated.

English translation is updated to Update1. If you've already installed TheHardestInterviewET.zip then you only need to download TheHardestInterviewET_Update1.zip and unpack it into the game's folder, overwriting files.
Update1 downloadl link:
What changed:
- translated most UI texts that were still in Chinese to English
- language selection in Settings now properly shows "English" instead of hieroglyphs
Update1 downloadl link:

Can someone check if they have the same video problem with the translated version ?
I wonder if it's a common issue or my download was corrupted.
This is Gracie (girl 2 on page 13), the video is for Question 23, third conversation prompt.

if you are sure that it was question 23, then here is the video file for it. No artefacts for me.

That's the video, but the problem happens in game, with the Unity files.
Even after downloading the entire translation archive again and replacing the files, I still have artifacts in game.
This happened with other clips, but I didn't remember which girls and questions at the time.
Either the files was broken when you were rebuilding the contentn for Unity, or the zip archive itself is corrupted which could have happened during compression or during upload somehow.
The easiest method of confirming would be to start the game and check the video there.
Alternatively if you don't have the girl yet, you can create a sfv/md5 checksum file for the whole content folder and share it here so we can identify where the problem is.

Here's my save file in case anyone wants to try it.
Just make sure you back up your own files before you use it.

this has nothing to do with save file of Blades1138, you had lag because game was recreating cache in deleted folder in Appdata.
corrupted archive is out of question because .mp4 file I attached above was extracted from \Content\Model_065\Asset\dlc_model_065_asset_assets_all_71b45590f0131628d924b5feadb4e4c3.bundle that was extracted from TheHardestInterviewET.zip that I downloaded from the link in first post of this thread. So whole chain was checked. I always download uploaded file again to other folder and binary compare it against original file I was uploading. So, .zip is intact. MP4 files inside . bundles are intact too, I've extracted all .MP4 from all .bundles from TheHardestInterviewET.zip and binary compared to .MP4 extracted from original game .bundles.
But as we already know, unity game doesn't give a fuck about files inside its game folder. It always uses __data files from "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\Joybrick_The Hardest Interview". I took __data file from that folder for Model_065 (Gracie), unpacked it with same tool I was using to replace subtitles, its called UABEA Avalonia and extracted Q23_065.mp4. And indeed it has artifacts. I binary compare it with Q23_065.mp4 from dlc_model_065_asset_assets_all_71b45590f0131628d924b5feadb4e4c3.bundle and it is different. Some chunk of FF FF FF FF ..... was inserted into .mp4 from __data file from Unity cache folder.
So what's happened? I think problem is in the tool compression method. All .bundles are compressed. To replace subtitles or even open any bundle and see what is inside, the tool decompress .bundle file into memory. Then, when changes done, it gives option to save .bundle in uncompressed form or also compress it to reduce disk space. As original .bundle files were compressed, I also compressed modified .bundle.
Then, the game opens .bundle file from its game directory , decompresses it into memory and then COMPRESES IT AGAIN and puts as __data file inside Unity cache folder in appdata. Original .bundle files decompresses and compresses again fine, because original .bundle file was properly created by Unity editor during the game's development. But UABEA tool most likely fucked something up in .bundle header or somewhere else, during its compression so this compressed .bundle file leads to situation where __data file created from this .bundle in Unity cache folder MAY have some .mp4 corrupted.
I deleted unity cache and put uncompressed translated .bundle for Gracie inside the game's content folder, and there is no artefacts. So unity is okay with modified but uncompressed by UABEA .bundle files. I'll decompress all translated .bundle files and reupload whole translation.

I assumed the problem was caused by the de/compression used for the translation process.
I didn't expect that the files in the archive are actually fine, but the game corrupts them when it builds the cache.
Props for managing to find the root cause, that sounds like a brain burner.

Oh, hi! Sorry for keeping you waiting. On the first attempt, I didn't even try to start the game before installing the translation. I tried to run the game without translation on the later attempt, but I was still stuck on the loading page. guessed I have to ask in the original post then,

Hi, I just downloaded this today.
I did a 2nd interview with this specific girl and when entering the phase where she show you a normal video with a outfit, a glitch occurs where the music and the girl's movement is bugged. At the moment of choosing any option, the screen is loaded with the options there.
I tried to close the game, but when I come back I start again at the beginning of the interview and the same error occurs again. It also happens again if I select the option to end the interview.
In the first interview I managed to obtain all the rewards without any error.
