Hello! This is a project to translate the game PhotoKano Kiss from Japanese into English. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a ready-made translation, so I decided to do it myself. This is my first experience in translating games, so I will be glad to any help. I also don't know Japanese and don't know English well, so I use an online translator. It would be nice if someone could help with the translation.
At the moment, it is possible to edit textures, partially scripts and an executable file (there are restrictions on the size of the text)

I added files for rePatch for those who want to try.

Updates:
I wrote a lot of scripts to automate translations, now it is enough just to add the translation to the csv file (ex: github /miraspectum/PhotoKano-Kiss/blob/main/text/ID06602.csv), and after the assembly the game files will be updated. It would be cool if someone could translate these files! Also as an experiment made a script that uses Google Cloud Tanslation API. Unfortunately, there's only 500,000 characters per month for free.

Patch files looks like so. Most of all dialogs already parsed with script, there need only translated text.
First columns its offset, second its max text length (if text length has more characters it will be cutted), third column its original text, other columns for translated text (en, ru, de)

Last news:
Using Argos translate, translated ~90% of dialogs. Translation quality is very bad, but you can try to catch the meaning =) Available languages: English, Russian and Deutsch
In git repo i added tutoria how to install patch. Unfortunately, i can`t post any links, because i`m new member

Finally, i can add links)

First off, thanks for the hard work!

I gave it a spin for about 30 minutes - ended up having twice as fun a time due to the god awful machine translations :) (but fantastic to hear it's readily editable now!). Awesome.

After installing the patch and starting the game, it says "this game needs a minimum of 8gb" what? Do I need those 8gb free as a must? or it's not mandatory?

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.

    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
