Do search around for me, I think I know what I'm talking about. Giving him a link to a text editing utility won't solve all of his problems unless he only plans to do a half-assed translation without any translated graphics also your link won't help him compile a patch once he's done with the translation part and there are many more things I'm bored to type so please think before trying to act like the know-it-all guy.
Well, I never said I am a know it all guy. But again, he asked specifically about pokemon diamond for which I am an expert. Thus, I know how that game works and for all but a few things, say 95%, that will be enough. Once he asks how to translate the few other things I have custom made programs that will be able to help him. Plus, I see alot of your post and I would not had said what I said if I did not think it was appropriate.

I'm warning you though... ROM hacking and translating is pretty hard, especially if you're doing it yourself. It will take you a couple months to translate such a huge game (Pokemon Platinum), so be ready for that. Not only that, but as I'm sure you're aware, translating isn't just opening a .txt file and changing all the English to Portuguese. There's a LOT more than that involved.
PS: I'm sure you know, but the English version of Pokemon Platinum isn't out yet. So unless you can translate from Japanese to Portuguese, you're gonna have to wait until the English version comes out.
