Why do we need ANOTHER topic for this?

Why do we need ANOTHER topic for this?

Because none of the other topics covered the File IDs, specifically.

You mean cut and pasters right? I've yet to see someone actually translate the new text, except for me.

 

[ChrisMims]

Or translators, like you, who might need help getting all of the needed info

Well I don't know about others but I'm already up to Ecruteak.

I don't know anything about this file ID stuff, I just type the Japanese text, search it, and replace it with the translation.

The only time I directly cut and paste from DP, is when a file ID has the exact same number of text ID's as a file ID in Platinum. Why? Because that pretty much tells me that that text is directly from the Platinum Engine, so I can use the same exact translations as in Platinum and still be accurate.

BTW, 536 is the upstairs room in Professor Elm's Lab.
