Translating the Phantom of the Opera Otome Game

So I'm a huge fan of the Phantom of the Opera. I like the books, musicals, and I can even tolerate the movie just to be able to watch my favorite musical whenever I want.

I also really like otome games. I have no idea why... For those of you who don't know, Otome games are dating sims directed at girls. They are set up like visual novels where you choose your own adventure, but the 'adventure' is often snogging hot guys. Or sometimes pigeons... Don't ask...

So, imagine my shock when I found that a company called Mirai Soft has created a Phantom of the Opera Otome game! Before clicking on that link, pleased be warned - there is mild nudity in this game. It's one of those rare dating games for girls where you can not only snog these hot guys, but you can um... well... do other stuff  too

I was so excited that I immediately got this game and all the bonus content that came with it xD But it's not in English, obviously. Usually when I play these games, I find a downloadable fan patch that will magically take out the Japanese subtitles and put in translated English ones. I scoured the internet for a fan patch and didn't find anything. :C

Solution? Make one

Ok, so it won't really be a fan patch, since I don't know how to code. I'm not opposed to the idea, but I did just transfer to a university, so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to learn a programming program or language or however I would go about making a patch. I also haven't figured out how to open the files that make up the game. They're all .H5, and I have no idea what type of program would open them. It's not Notepad, I know that much lol.

If anyone knows how to make patches for games, then I would love to hear from you so that you can either teach me, show me tutorials you used to learn, or even work with me to make one :3

Oh, and I almost forgot, the Phantom's voice is se-ku-shiii! Of course, I think Mr. Richard's voice is, too xD Something about the sadistic characters in this game, they were like "let's get the men with the sexiest voices we can find."
