If your talking about "Eiyuu*Senki", There should be an interface patch out, but it's not a complete translation. The game is going to be sold for playstaytion in the near future in english  though. However, needless to say the H-scenes are going to be cut.

A company (Fruitbat Factory) is officially localizing the PS3 version for NA. There's a rumor that another unidentified company has licensed the PC version but nothing has come of that so far.

do you think they could use the ps3 version for a pc translation?

It's theoretically possible but not very likely. From the rumors it sounds like two different companies have licensed the two different versions. What the company who licensed the PC version would have to do is basically pay Fruitbat to license their translation of the PS3 version and adapt that to the PC version. They would still need to translate the bits that are different (like h-scenes). I don't think it's very likely because 1) it would be kind of unprecedented, I don't remember that ever happening before, 2) it can be surprisingly hard to get two completely different companies working together like that, 3) it would almost certainly be cheaper to do the translation yourself or contract some random TLer from the community to do it for you, and 4) the rumor has it that the PC version was actually licensed first so they may have already started on their own translation.

 

That's if it's happening at all. Even if the rumor is true, the likely candidate for the PC version is JAST. JAST is slow as molasses.
