FAQs and Tutorials / Tools for Translating Final Fantasy Games – A Comprehensive List

« on: 2025-07-25 14:40:40 »

Hi everyone,
I’m starting this thread to collect information about which Final Fantasy games have tools available for fan translation. The goal is to create a central, easy-to-navigate list showing which titles can be translated, what tools are available, and which teams or communities are working on them.

This post will be continuously updated over the coming days with links to tools, translation projects, and relevant resources. If you know of any tools, teams, or methods used for specific FF games, please share them here!

Let’s work together to build a helpful resource for all Final Fantasy fans interested in game translation.

« on: 2013-06-07 19:53:31 »

I didn't say I wanted to translate it to English. The problem is, is that it's not in Basque.

Also, it appears on a Brazilian site they have translated FF9 into Portuguese, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?

My first task is to locate the font file and create a text table. So far I'm stuck.

Can you send me that site where they translated the game?

Thanks for your work! : )

What do you think about FFIX? Have you ever checked that?

« on: 2013-06-07 18:28:03 »

90% of my private messages here are started with something like "Hello. I'm from Brazil and I want to translate FF8 into Brazilian Portuguese." How many these translation projects you have?

As for translation conversion: as soon as I finish the third version of FF8 hardcore patch, I will be working on Total Editor for FF8 - for texts, graphics (even multipalette TIMs), saves, backgrounds, kernel and menu, for PC and PSX version.

Are you finished the translation successfully? Will you make the tutorial?

Can you see any possibility to a translation? I want to make a hungarian translation.
Can you extract the dialog? Can you drop me the correct path to the extractor?
