Over on his blog, Carpe Fulgur’s Andrew Dice has typed up a lengthy feature offering insight into the localization process of their games. Included in the post are some very detailed explanations about the localization choices made while translating Recettear, both in general and specifically with regard to certain characters.
At the end of the post is a link to a demo for Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters, which you can try out. The full version of Chantelise will be released through digital distribution services for the PC on July 29th.
