==Translated Names==
==Translated Names==
In early versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'', some [[Rhythm Games]] were given new names rather than being directly translated. As the translation project started prior to the release of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', most of the names differed. Newer versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'' have since adopted the official names. This list is only of the names that differ from the official localization, including those from before ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' was released.

In November 30, 2016, a patch was developed for ''Rhythm Heaven Silver'', simply titled {{Nihongo|Rhythm Heaven Silver Patch}}, which would dub [[Marcher]] and [[Space Dance]] properly, with voicework reused from ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', though [[Marcher 2]] was left untouched.

Forks

In November 30, 2016, a patch was developed for Rhythm Heaven Silver, simply titled Rhythm Heaven Silver Patch, which would dub Marcher and Space Dance properly, with voicework reused from Rhythm Heaven Megamix, though Marcher 2 was left untouched. It can be downloaded on Reddit.

In April 16, 2019, a fork named Rhythm Paradise Silver[13] which seeks to translate Rhythm Tengoku into French would have a gameplay video released of ShaffySwitcher getting a Superb on Trio Clap Clap. The project was led by the previously mentioned ShaffySwitcher with assistance from FireChat. Presumably, it was downloadable on Github, but the link has since been taken down.

In April 17, 2020, after the release of Beta 10a, WindowsTiger released a Korean patch named Rhythm World Advance (리듬 세상 어드밴스?, 리듬 세상 Advance) that translates the game into Korean. It is available to download as a patch on its Tistory page. Notably, it has a Korean translation and dub for WISH Kimi o Matenakute, likely the first time an entire vocal song for Rhythm Tengoku has been dubbed and modded accordingly.

In July 27, 2024, a trailer for a Russian translation, aptly named Rhythm Tengoku Russian Translation[14] was released by Pishuter, a casual, budding Youtuber with a focus on modding. The game chosen to showcase it was Night Walk 2, which was given the name Noch Progulka 2 (ноч Прогулка 2?, Night Walk 2), giving others a good idea of how the project would have looked like. It has since been cancelled for unknown reasons.

There is also translations for both kinds of Chinese[citation needed] that were released and are presumably playable, but there is currently a lack of information surrounding them.
