reinserting text back into a visual novel?(tools suggestion?)

[Hime]

HI guys, Himeji here, I kinda got a group of my friends inspired and we decided we will be working on translating a couple of our favorite Visual Novels into English, so We manage to extract the text via Agth and using various resources and dictionaries(and our Japanese teacher lol) to translate them. Now we just don't have a way of re-inserting the text back into the VN. One of my friend is good with tech stuff but he kinda need tools and small tutorials to really get things rolling for him. So any good suggestion or recommended tools? Once we complete our projects I'll uploaded them here for the Anime-sharing community as thanks? ;)

... well, it's a complicated matter, to parse the text back to the game engine, there are various tools and hack to do so but it varies from game to game since it depends on: the game engine, the engine version, and the protection that the game executable has.

Usually, to be able to parse the text back to the game, you must recompile the script to the game engine format, then repack it according to the game engine, modify/crack the game executable file to make it work.

There are also premade tools for popular game engine such as Key's Live (or I forgot the name)

TLWiki is a good start btw

It appears theres a new project around that will make this simple to do according to http://forums.fuwanovel.com/index.p...les-appear-for-any-game-hacked-or-non-hacked/ you will be able to save/edit/load and share full or partial translations of games that can be later used into some kind of translation aggregator window that will auto check a translation file for a correct translation match.
