Please tell me the tools to use, too.
I personally use JPEX FFdec to translate / alter in-game data, T-pals rely on more advanced ways, sore wa watashi ni totte roketto saiensu, but the software I use doesn't really have other language settings on it aside from the few given upon install, you might have to pick up some english just for that software's sake, unless your native language is supported.
My partials are always censored, the T-pals do that pixelation removal and make it a separate version, so there is one (hopefully) for both types, as not everyone might enjoy the other version.
Indeed, I don't know how you do it when translating, but I have more than once found that your partial just had sections of it explode on contact. It must be a skill there to keep us on our toes
ok understood, thanks

Happy to see another person interested in translating JSK games. Where have you looked so far to find your Elven knight game updates? Also, what tools have you tried using for translating?
I found a MEGA link on PornHub that had a bunch of games and partial translations of them, including some by Icevail. (I think it said Elven Knight's last update was from April 3rd of this year.) I tried using JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler v11.3.0 and exporting all the text and ActionScript, but there's so damn much, it's really overwhelming...I honestly have no idea how to sift through the 707 total files generated from that to find stuff that would be relevant for dialogue translation.
Icevail is a bit of a masochist in how he translates JSK's games. Directly editing ActionScript files is both difficult and potentially dangerous. We have developed (by we I mean Tengux) a few tools to help extract the dialogue out of the SWF files and into a single CSV file. This CSV file can be edited with any cell based editor. Microsoft Excell and Google Sheets are some examples. Google sheets are preffered since they can be shared online and easily collaborated on. For actual translating I'd suggest giving DeepL a shot. It's an AI based machine translator that has given some impressive results. But before any of that, I'd highly recommend going over the
It's great to hear that you're back safe and sound Tengux. No need to jump right back into working on your parser. I think you earned a bit of R&R after that work trip.
Thanks a lot, I'll check Tengux's GUI text parser out. I'm pretty sure that PornHub link was really just the huge Mega link that's linked to in your guide. With any luck, I'll be able to get a couple translations done in my free time. And if not, well, at least you know one more person was interested.
