I'm streaming this project right now on my twitch page. Currently doing my font creation. You are all welcome to join in! :)
 
All capital and small letters along with their accent symbols done! Now what is left for the fonts is to revise the special characters and create Greek words for "Slot", "Memory", "Card" etc.. I also need to edit the png files to translate them into the Greek language.

Last progress update here:

I watched a bit of the video -- did you guys make more progress?  There are still parts that are bleeding from what I see... some of your text is too tall and going up into the bottom of the other text now (mainly your lower case letters). But it looks like things are getting better!
 
What I need atm is a way to edit the start screen. If I translate the words can someone replace them?  (New game, continue, credits etc) Or at least guide me through to do it myself.

Oh man... I remember there's a thread about that somewhere... let me go find it.
 
These text locate in mngrp.bin
Here is my screen shoot.

By the way, I dumped the text out here, in case you need it.


Code: [Select]
Code: 
#WRITE(MyPtr, $DD6)HAJIMARI<end>#WRITE(MyPtr, $DDA)TSUZUKE<end>
I dumped with Catographer, and you can modify the text and re-insert it to mngrp.bin with Atlas.

Where is this located? Found it. It's in the menu.fs

Thanks 5way!  I just found it myself.  mngrp.bin in menu.fs and you should be ready to go, Leon!

Have you already translated the kernel.bin with Carbuncle for the rest of your translation?
 
Yeah, ready to go... for sure... M4v3R program, ff8msg does not support Greek fonts. Tried to edit the text but it won't save. Program crashes every few edits too and corrupts the file. Also what does kernel.bin contain?

I'm really starting to hate on latin alphabet after all this torture. I find it a lot easier to translate the whole game by myself than mess with the alphabet...

kernel.bin contains all names of abilities/items/magazines/spells -- essentially EVERYTHING that isn't dialogue.  You can use Carbuncle to translate it to your own language and then export it.

Opened Kernel.bin with carbuncle edited the font table on the right column Edited attack=Επίθεση, saved and of course it didn't work.
 
Skyped/messaged waiting for response! Also posted in a Greek forum and waiting for support from people there as well. Time lag is killing me. I want to progress!
