nowavewater Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 New to site, I am trying to translate this game into Chinese. It's pity that still no Chinese translation of this game,I guess it's because technical problem, a lot Chinese players can't play this game just because language barrier. I haven't done such work before, but someone at least try. By my understanding, I need find game built-in font first. I used Kotor Tool but I couldn't find font data file. Anyone can help with this? Or please tell me how to start? Thanks in advance.
DarthParametric Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 In KOTOR Tool: ERFs -> Texture Packs -> swpc_tex_gui.erf -> F fnt_console.tpc fnt_credits.tpc fnt_creditsa.tpc fnt_creditsb.tpc fnt_d10x10b.tpc fnt_d16x16.tpc fnt_d16x16a.tpc fnt_d16x16b.tpc fnt_dialog16x16.tpc fnt_galahad14.tpc I have no idea how practical an Asian language translation would be. My gut says not very.
Darth InSidious Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Maybe not using characters, but it should at least be possible to translate into a romanised transliteration. I don't know how readable that would be for an entire game, though.
nowavewater Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks, I think that's what I am looking for. If I understand correctly, to translate this game, I have to translate strings in dialog.tlk into Chinese. Since Chinese letters are stored in two bytes, I need to modify assembly of executable file to read two bytes when the character is Chinese. Then write a program to generate Chinese font data file for this game, then replace original font.
