The time has finally come to take on the ultimate adventure of translating Yo-kai Watch 4 ++ for the lovely Yo-kai Watch community! If you aren't aware, I have already translated Yo-kai Watch 1 for the Nintendo Switch and it was a treat and my first introduction to this amazing series and community. If you haven't already, go check out that awesome project at the link below!

CREDITS:
Mad shout outs to MasaGratoR for his help with creating all the tools needed to make this mod possible. And mad props to all the amazing and talented modders that have joined me on this massive translation endeavor to finally localize YW4 into English! Without these guys and all their hard work putting in all the long hours with me, this project would not have been made a reality. I'm talking about you, Light, Sofuto, MegaCatYu, RSM, Inochi-PM, Emanuele, Ruby, Miken, Rena, The YW Italian translation team, and EVERYONE ELSE that has ever worked on or in someway contributed to this mod project! It's here and very much alive, thanks to the work of everyone involved!

Alright so for the first progress post on this project I've got a question for all my fellow modder savvy friends out there. The main files for Yokai Watch 4 ++ are .cpk for compression and then when extracted it's g4pk files and g4mt files. Anyone familiar with these file types? With Yokai Watch 1 I used the Kuriimu and Kuriimu2 program for all the translations and packing/unpacking file management. Was hoping to do the same with this game. Could anyone assist me with some knowledge or point me in the right direction for the correct way to go with these file structures? I've got the games files extracted and found the folders holding everything I need but no idea how to once again go about these file formats. Thanks in advance for all the help my friends!
