Title: How to translate FF8 to other languages
Post by: N4ndø on 2006-07-16 23:17:16
Yo,

I'm new in this forum but I need help in the translation process of FF8 to Brazillian Portuguese, and yet this topic can help other people over the world who wishes to play this fantastic game in their own language.


All help will be appreciated!!!

(Sorry for my english, 'cause I'm brazillian and don't know much about writing in english, just reading...)

Wrong forum, a moderator needs to move this, as it's more Tech related.
Also try using the search button.

I think you're wrong, Cyb, 'cause this subject is very interesting (not for americans and other people that speaks english) for the people all over the world that wants to play this game (just like others games) in the natural language of their country... I just wanted to join all the possible info about this subject in one topic, so the people will not need to do lots of searches or to read topic by topic... Just one topic with full information would be GREAT!

Sadly no one is helping... Poor lucky of mine...

Cool idea N4ndø  :-) I don't know anything about extrating the dialog files and stuff, but I'm from Brazil too, and I think my english's not that bad at all. (I'm 14 yay) If you need help translating stuff I'm in  :-D

1) It's been asked before. Hence use the Search button
2) It's been answered before.  Use the Search button.
3) Try Romhacking.net (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/) as start to search for such information.
4) See the tech forum, as this has to do with programming and the internal functions/inner workings of the game.
5) My response said nothing about the subject being wrong, just it's location.  I find it an interesting subject myself, although you do seem rather biased and defensive, my response has nothing to do with it's validity.   Information regarding this eventually will end up in the Q-gears and the wiki here as well.  Relax no one here is out to kill your ideas.

To answer your question, No game specific tools exist too my knowledge.  You'll have to make them yourself or you can look for them using google or at other forums.  There were several polish, hebrew and Russian translations going on last I checked.  Use Google to look for such things.

Cyb, I'm REALLY sorry for my bad expression with your argument... This happened 'cause I have just a little practice in writing in english... I'm good on translation... I just want to say that no one who has the knowledge about the whole process is helping me... But you're right to move this topic to other session... I've made a mistake thinking the subject of my topic is related to Game tweaking...

If you know anything about the subject, help me, please. If you don't, but also know someone who knows how to do it, please let me know...

And one more thing: I'll try that web site you've spoke above! Thanx for the info!

My apologies!

Peace!
