Hello!
I'm completely new to rom hacking in general, but have a very analytical mind good at spotting patterns. I'm trying to translate an old GBA game from japanese (knowing my kana and a lot of basic vocabulary/syntax really helps). With just some tutorials started last night I'm at the point where I know where all of the creature/item names/script are, how it's organized, and can start manually translating (abridged to fit the space of the japanese text though). I've already gone through all creatures and half the item names, and tested script edits to make sure they work. It's just thousands of lines to do manually.
So I'm here to reach out to some of the people who worked on the game and then dropped it nearly a decade ago, to see if they have any of that translation started or any insights for more efficient ways to do it.
Need a total of 5 messages before I can PM them, so....
