Hello! A few weeks ago, a semi-English patch was released that translated the items, accessories, and abilities in Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission. While this patch makes the game playable (with the help of a guide), it did not translate new attacks, enemy names, garment grids, dressphere menus, the main menus themselves, and a lot of other content. Here are some screenshots of the new patch 
Fortunately, a new patch is in the works that will translate the items, accessories, abilities, auto-abilities, enemy attacks, character attacks, enemy names, will include brief item description, menu info, and other cool things. Unfortunately a full-blown translation is not possible since Japanese letters take 1 byte, while English letters take 2 bytes. By simply swapping to English, the game data itself becomes larger than it originally was and does not work. This will result in some text being removed, but most item and abilities description will be included and shortened.
For those of you who did not know, X-2 International was released only in Japan and included a ton of new content. This includes 'Creature Create', where you can capture and raise creatures/npcs and use them in your party!! They gain levels, can equip accessories, etc, learn their own abilities, and can be taught different things depending on if you 'feed' them items or accessories!! This also includes former party members from X - Tidus, Auron, Lulu, and Kimahri. Seymour, Trema, Lucil, Elma, Yaibal, the Crimson Squad, the Syndicate, and many others can also be captured. Nearly every monster in Spira!
Another thing International includes in 'Creature Create' is the Coliseum, where you can compete in team battles and Battle Cups. In the Battle Cups, you can compete in 10 tournaments, all which must be unlocked, and you can win some extremely good items. Notably, 2 of the games new superbosses are fought in the later tournaments, and Tidus, Auron, Seymour, and Strongest Shinra can only be obtained by beating them in the final cups. Some of the tournaments are the Youth League Cup, the Aeon Cup, the Demon Cup, Strongest Shinra's Cup, and the final Farplane Cup.
As more infomation becomes available, I will post here. I will not be including any of the patches here themselves. If you want more info, please visit X-2 International's respective gamefaqs.com page.
