FFE may not be coming to NA for years. An english translation of the menus would be terrific and of course greatly appreciated by us all.

Quite a bit more needs to be translated before it can really be enjoyed by non-Japanese readers
First 50 minutes of gameplay

 

You mean you don't know which files to translate or you can't find this game?

 

I'm quoting this from another forum which I can't mention here

 

This look familiar to anyone?
http://pastebin.com/mEPHFN7a

 

I made a dumper and put it on pastebin just now?

It's file "0641427059" in the romfs.

 

Warning: Spoilers inside!

 

Well, if you want to accomplish literally everything I have accomplished:

-Dump the romfs the same way as any other 3ds game.
-Notice that the creators compress their files, but that they are kind enough to use the type of compression as a magic for the first four bytes of every file (seriously, files start with "blz", "none", etc).
-Decompress files using a blz tool I downloaded from the internet.
-Notice that file 0641427059 looks like a bunch of japanese unicode.
-Notice that there are four bytes that don't look like text before every string.
-Make a quick dumper to convert it to text, post in this thread.

I've also found a darc with some bclims, but haven't really put much effort into finding anything else:

yeah i think ucs-1 / utf-16 (LE iirc)/ unicode is commonly used on 3ds games ... and also is default format on font tool from SDK. i already done with FL, and HM Stuff, maybe i will poke around on FF:E on this night and continues to XY/ORAS stuff.

 

Some of what you said was confusing. You may use this convert the bclim image format https://github.com/kwsch/png2bclim

 

Did you guys make any progress? I could help translating some of the stuff. I really want to play it in english!

 

Anyone still interested in translating this game to english? Most likely there will be no official translation for a long time.

I dumped all of the text from the game to excel and uploaded it here for everyone to read or download:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t8d_OWXF8hlipob4dAWsQOPdu9iK0Cdx7WP2HV9SkgI

It's simply to much for me alone to translate it with just google translate, 15264 text entries, both story and menu mixed.

It contains all the text from
"/message/message.textres" (hash: 3985733386, Retail + Update 1 v1056 + Update 2 v2096)
and
"/message/message_home.textres" (hash: 0641427059)

There is no text limit and it's easy to insert text back into the game, by modifying the game's update (which is just 5 MB), so a almost legal translation is possible since we don't even need to modify the game, just a small update file (-> works with retail cards).
