Vusul Grumkhuth · 04-07-2007, 01:35 PM

hi!
sorry my bad English, im from Kazahstan (there some fffans too) and i wanna translate ff8 (pc-version, in our country impossible to buy playstation, only chines dandy((() in our language. I and my friends done the font and all dialogue-translation and now we must insert our text to the game, but i dont know how to do it, but i heard that there is some soft to help translate dialogues. But i cant find it(((
If there is false can your tell me in what encoding text in fs.files, we will do it by hands((

You'll have to go to another country for that or you could go on Ebay. How's Kazakstan now. I was there when I was six so I don't remember too much of it.

The Dude · 04-07-2007, 01:46 PM

He already has the game. Plus ebay doens't ship everywhere. He's asking if there's a program that can translate the text for him. It's a possibility. One of our techies might know.

Larsa · 04-07-2007, 01:48 PM

Ya that's what I meant. You'd have to go to another country to get that and I don't know if you can get it for free.

The Dude · 04-07-2007, 01:49 PM

You can download those types of programs. As for it inserting the translated text into the game. Again one of our techies would know better.

I know it is possible to change the text like that in older-generation games like FFI to VI, as The Man knows, but I'm not sure about FFVIII. If you're lucky, the programmers have put all the sentences said in the game in a file somewhere on the CD. If you're unlucky, it's hard-coded and you'll somehow have to translate the playstation code back to the original which is, as far as I know, almost impossible.

I tried looking it up on Google, but no luck. You could try asking again on the forums at http://ngemu.com, they know (or should know) a lot more about PlayStation game mechanics than any one of us here do

but that site specificated on PSX romhacking
we want translate PC-ported version. Theres virtual file system and we dont know how to extraxt files from it((
thnx for repplyng anyway

The Dude · 04-08-2007, 11:45 AM

If it's PC ported then it should have a txt. file somewhere in it when you open up the file. I'm guessing but I believe that would be the file that has the text in it that you can alter. Not a hundred percent on it. You'd probably still need a program.

Vusul Grumkhuth · 04-08-2007, 12:07 PM

it is not so simple
all files arhived in one big file and we dont know how we can extract them
theres might be some soft to open it, but i dont know where i can find it

Jak · 04-08-2007, 12:12 PM

So whats the file extension?

Vusul Grumkhuth · 04-08-2007, 12:31 PM

YopY · 04-09-2007, 03:04 PM

Google search for that file extension didn't show up much :/. Tried just opening it in NotePad or whatnot to see if it's really compressed?

Tom · 04-10-2007, 05:05 AM

This may be a bit off topic, but what language do you speak mainly in Kazahstan? Isn't it Russian?

Jak · 04-10-2007, 07:35 AM

Don't they have their own language? like Kazahk or something haha.

Vusul Grumkhuth · 04-10-2007, 09:11 AM
