ROM Hack FFIII - English Translation Patch

[Jojjy Ugnick]

hey so where's the patch?

 

[KeYbLaDeXaLcHeMi]

So what does this patch tranlate exactly?

If it's just the menus, that's good enough for me.

I can't wait to try it out once I get my flash card back.

update on first post

 

[Sick Wario]

much thanks to kalimero for the translation!!

 

[Bladedaos]

just tryed the new version, everything looks great! thanks a lot!

 

[BoBMang]

Awesome, great job.

I just got to the part where you can assign jobs to characters... that part doesn't seem translated yet.... maybe next patch?

Is there anyways to quickly extract the Japanese text from the game (like, for example, auto searching and replacing the hex for each character)? I'm sure these guys would appreciate it:-

So we could have a faster translation...even if it isn't a patch.

Do you understand the absurdity of that? How would hex editing individual Japanese characters lead to an auto-translator?

You must be under the impression that the Japanese language just has a different looking character to replace each letter in the english alphabet. This isn't the case, and an auto translator for Japanese to english will never word.

He never said replacing the Japanese into English in his post. He said hex.
I think he's refering to someone making a script dumper. You know... to dump the script.
Since maybe, you know, that ff3trans.pbwiki can use it to speed up their text translations.

And I know you know what dumping the script mean, I mean you, you have experience in rom translation right?

Are you connected with these guys? You can extract the rom with nds-tool and look at the msd files. Script is all in there.


btw: New Patch Update (see first post)

You misspelled "Thief" (as "Theef"), but very nice anyway. Thanks.

LOL..that is funny. Don't take it to heart, author. We do sincerly thank you for this.

 

[kalimero]

Haha nice find. There could be more of this so beware!

 

[jeffkong]

this really is incredibly helpful

kalimero, how are you doing this translation? If this proves reasonably easy, I might dabble in translating say, menus in Jump Super Stars, it sure beats memorizing them

but menu/item translations are very useful in RPGs,
I don't have to tell how many times I've mistaken Phoenix downs, thanks!
