Translating Sharin no Kuni: Himawari no Shōjo to Finnish

[BFlorry]

I'm really just learning things, but I'd like to try to translate a bit of Sharin no Kuni to Finnish (my native tongue). The only problems I think that will arrive are probably with the "Ä" and "Ö" letters. I'd like to translate straight from the English patch, so that next to none Japanese would be involved.

I tried to decompress the patch.xp3 with isani's tools, then translate the 01.ks -file and then repack with isani's tools again. The game opens up fine, but when pressing start, a popup error comes up with the headline "Information" and abstract letters. I've played Sharin no Kuni just fine a day ago, so the game itself should have no problems. Did I do something wrong? If required, I'll post the ks-file I edited.

Please help me, I'd like to get my girlfriend read this piece ASAP, as her English skills are quite nonexistent. :)/>

EDIT: I found out about VNreader, should I try using that rather than going with the whole Kirikiri unwrap-wrap things?

I'm so moved, I'd help you in the actual translating if I knew any Finnish. Hope someone helps you with the mumbo jumbo hacking and editing thingy.

i think so, i think VNR has its strengths and weaknesses. the main weakness is that u need to install the thing. the 2nd weakness is that u have to have internet at the beginning to download the subtitles (but not after uve done it once(?))

but I like VNR because you can translate so much faster than doing it on notepad++, that's one of the main draws for me.

The engine may not like Finnish characters. As it is a lot of them have problems with plain English text, since they were originally designed for Japanese only.

You can try to ask the developer directly with support for VNR, contact him with a more detailed info of your problem and configuration.

The scripts are in Shift-JIS which doesn't support umlauts afaik.

Nope, its Kirikiri , it supports unicode but not utf-8 but UTF-16 Little Indian

if its the engine Kirikiri its possible in any unicoded languages. as long its UTF-16 Little Indian

Thanks. dfallengod is helping me with the case at the moment, so I hope that something good will come out. ^^ (Btw, if you want to, I'd like to have some help in translating the game from English to Finnish.)
