You can use this script to replace text in Steins;Gate 0 to fix translation issues. For example, the given patches.json will correct the name order to surname first. Here is an exe of the script compiled with pyoxidizer.

To use, either drag the scripts.mpk file from the S;G 0 folder on to the exe or start the exe and follow it's directions.

Committee of Zero has now released their patch for SG0, making this redundant. Go check it out here http://sonome.dareno.me/projects/sg0-steam.html
