[RMVX ACE] TRANSLATING GAMES FROM JAPANESE

Posts

Pages: 1
Hi
I downloaded RPG Maker VX Ace to start making my own games (or just have fun with it), I also wanted to look into translating lesser known Japanese games to English. I don't know how to get started though, someone said I need to put the game into the engine and it's ready to go ''duh'', which was very unhelpful.
Any help would be really appreciated, I have looked for tutorials but nothing comes up.
Thank you

I'm certainly no expert on the best method to do game translations, but, it seems to me that, at least with RPG Maker engines, a good place to start is with translating the database entries. As for dialogs (either found via cut-scenes of just normal NPC talk), I would ask the author (authors?) if a game script exists, and try to translate that rather than go event-by-event.
