Convert Japanese Console Language to English Method.

[shadoking]

@gavinlai - No change after executing sdcafiine as you instructed.

@peytonzhu - Can you please elaborate on the specific sequence of steps required?

 

[shadoking]

@gavinlai - Let me retract what I previously wrote. The console appears to be mostly in English now after a reboot. There are a few places in which the Japanese text remains but it seems to be mostly working. Thanks a lot.

that is normal. we know where most of the language parts are, but not all of them. there are a few other files you need to replace to make it almost completely English, but I'm not sure what those files are, nm, here they are.

I should point out that @gavinlai's original procedure may have worked. There's some Japanese on the main screen so I might have mistakenly thought the language switch did not occur.

@godreborn - Are you suggesting that people replace those files with the ones decrypted from Nintendo? If so, I am not sure what to do with Hmb.pack. I don't see a decrypted version of that file.

 

[godreborn]

just use jnustool. it should decrypt for you. those are the only four files I know of for converting the language. there are a few spots that are still in Japanese afaik, we don't know where they're located I guess.

Yes, not fully English. If you just overwrite 10040000 and 10047000 language file. It just effect at WiiU Menu and System Settings.
If you use parental control and daily log, you can try overwrite 10048000 (Parental Controls) and 1004C000 (Daily Log).

I think most of people just need 40000 and 47000 enough.

@gavinlai - What was the purpose of executing SDCafiine? I see that it modifies files on-the-fly but I don't understand how you used the tool.

For my understand, use sdcafiine will load the sd file instead of mlc file, like ftp upload file to mlc overwrite file, just not permanently, so after reboot need to run sdcafiine again.

This method often use for game translation file. Maybe you should read the sdcafiine official readme for detial.

WiiU Menu Chinese language file released ver 1.0 today. The authod recommend use sdcafiine first, because it's safty than mlc overwrite file. But I like permanent method, so choose mlc overwrite file.

Just for your reference, maybe not 100% right, lol.

Instale todo, luego me fui a configuraciones y al salir de configuración tiramisu se reinicia y magia el menú aparece en inglés, espero alguien pueda subir los archivos para dejar en español la consola, muchas gracias

 

[godreborn]

use jnus tool if you want it in Spanish, if I'm reading that right.

Have you seen my jnustool tutorial step 7 photo？

You can see have different language folder, you can copy Spanish folder's language file to mlc.

Stupid question, i just put the same "AllMessage.szs" from "wiiuusa\DecryptFiles\content\UsEnglish\Message\" to all the paths
For some reason i though it was a different "AllMessage.szs" for each directory\folder specified below.
Example:
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050010/10040000/content/JpJapanese/Message (WiiU Menu)
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050010/10047000/content/JpJapanese/Message (System Settings)
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050010/10048000/content/JpJapanese/Message (Parental Controls)
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050010/10049000/content/JpJapanese/Message (User setting)
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050010/1004C000/content/JpJapanese/Message (Daily Log)
/storage_mlc/sys/title/00050030/1001500a/content/JpJapanese/Message (Friend list)

In official mlc different title AllMessage.szs maybe different, but actually you can use the same AllMessage.szs (e.g WiiU Menu's AllMessage.szs) file to overwrite. In my Chinese WiiU Menu, I am using the same Allmessage.szs file to overwrite all path, it works fine.

Okay my Japanese Wii u is mostly in English now. But any Wii u game either on DVD or from "Wii U USB Helper" (regions is set to 119). comes up as Japanese. Is there a solution to fix these English games to run in English?
very much appreciate any guidance.
thanks
