Um, there's quite a number of the things, but pretty much all of 'em have kinda' flown under the radar. It also depends on how far back you want to go, and whether you'd consider emulation as a route. Anyway, I'm throwing names at you, not links. Little bit of googlefu will uncover everything I've mentioned, though. Translations can generally be found via romhacking.net, except battle moon wars. Quick google'll find it for yeh.
Anyway, I can throw Farland Symphony at you. Relatively recently translated (this year) SRPG. Decent, from what I played of it, but I didn't really get very far into it.
There's a Warsong (Aka Langrisser) PC port somewhere or another, might want to check that. The langrisser stuff in general is pretty solid, but most of it's console.
If you're willing to nab up a PC-98 emulator, there's the Farland Story series. They're not terribly impressive gameplay-wise (imo, of course), but it's decent enough and there's at least 6 games in series. They're kinda' in the same style as Shining Force, iirc. Been a while since I played any of 'em, though, so I may be misremembering.
Might want to check out Fallout Tactics, which I think's been discussed somewhere else on this forum.
Also Spellcross, which is freaking ace. No idea how to find it outside of abandonware circles, though, and probably going to have to run it through DosBox if you do find it. Still, highly recommended.
Battle Moon Wars. Another recently-ish translated. Multicross doujin-type thing in the vein of Super Robot Wars. Fairly solid if you can stand that type of game.
There's a
lot more. Too lazy to spend the couple of hours it'd take to hunt most of 'em down, right now. Maybe more later if other folks don't list out all of 'em first
Go check out gamefaqs and sort by strategy or RPG, check translation and freeware/indie sites, etc, as well. You do have to dig a titch, but it's pretty easy to basically throw a rock at the internet and hit some form of SRPG.
