Translation to Brazilian Portuguese

[LexSeifer]

There's lots of good romhackers comunities and foruns in Brazil, and there's some eforts to translate this game. But the great major ones are good enthusiast, with some lack in language knowledge and translation, resulting in great mistakes in grammar or semantics.

Me and my brother, and four more friends minor moders are wanting to reunite to translate this game to our language, in an organized way, and after some time we found that this comunity have great tools to help us in our efforts.

I wanted to know if tools like FFTacText is recomended to a project of translation, since there are some issues, like accented words/characters. Other doubt: one column in the application shows "width". This represents the maximum number of characters in that line?

We'll be gladly happier if you people answer our request, and we are translating based on the FFTactics complete patch.

thanks!!!

FFTactext would translate the abilities, characters, weapons, items and things like that. You are going to need Xifanie's event compiler, and decompiler, which can be very hard to get right. It might be easier for translations though.

Ill will look for it, but might i ask you where to find this event compiler/decompiler?

Thank you, philsov.

It's a great tool, and we have started our project.

There's only one problem, concerning the accented vowels, like "é" and "á", or the letters like "ç", that are used in our language. The only way to do that is by hex edit, or can i do with some graphic way?

A topic on how to deal with this: FONT.BIN (help)

[LexSeifer]

i always got this mesage when i try to use Event Compiler:

"Access violation at address 00404752 in module 'Event_Compiler_2.01b.exe'. Read of address 102AFFF8."

what could it be?

[philsov]

can you copy/paste your config.ini contents and your event.txt?  Please spoiler them.

edit:  config.ini should look something like this:

[Settings]

spoiler

TESTEVT='TEST.EVT'
TEXTFILE='event.txt'
Offset='00004000'
MultiCompile=0
PSP=0
Rip=1

[LexSeifer]

Here's my config:
