[WIP] Translations ported from the console version

This applies the German, French, Italian or Spanish translation of the game found on the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

What is this and why would I want it?

The game hasn't been patched on Steam for a long time, at this point it's highly unlikely that the developers will bother adding in the new languages found in other platforms.
You could also say that those same translation are not very good to begin with, and that's the reason why the end goal would be a complete proofreading and correction (already done in Spanish and Italian).

My language isn't in your list, what do i do?

The scope of this project is mainly to put the game on par with the console release by offering the full PAL MULTI5 experience (unfortunately Japanese has to be cut for technical reasons). There are however other patches available elsewhere, check the entry on PCGW[www.pcgamingwiki.com].

Current project progress

Below It's shown the progress for each Language:

	French	German	Italian	Spanish
Text Translation integrated	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Extended font ( Windows 1252 [en.wikipedia.org] )	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Redrawn UI textures ( example [github.com] )	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Translation manually corrected and proofreaded by	-	Markoh00 (partial)	Banz99	Gross-Standards

Current Limitations

Unfortunately, much of the game text (UI elements in particular) is stored as a prerendered texture, and while there is a tool right now that can extract it, it will take more time to replace them into the game. Some text is also stored into the .exe directly, and must be translated manually in each language (work is being done right now on that front).
In the state the project is right now, the main menu will remain the same, to check if the translation has been applied successfully simply start a new game and check Shantae's speech.

NOTE: The game, contrary to its more updated versions on other platforms doesn't support unicode characters (ie. accented letters, or special glyphs (¡ in Spanish is in this category), which is the reason I didn't even bother porting the Japanese translation, sorry). To prevent the game from crashing I replaced the single accented letters "àìòùèé" with "aiouee and ' at the end", and every other non-ascii letter outside that range with "-". I wish I could hack in Unicode support but my knowledge isn't enough right now (help from skilled romhackers would be greatly appreciated).
All of the above has been corrected by the patch released on 26/11/2021. French doesn't have its textures changed as I don't have a way of proofreading the actual text. If some competent translator wants to step in, they can be finished.

How can I help?

If you think like you have enough experience with x86 assembly and/or enough knowledge to work on top of this https://github.com/meh2481/wfLZEx, hit me up with a friend request and I'll discuss the details I know so far. If you are an average user, simply play the game in your language and note every oddity in the text beside those that i mentioned above, reporting them in the comment section.
All of the technical limitations have been lifted, all is needed now are people willing to review and correct the strings and mess around with photoshop files (not essential but would save me a couple hours of work).
Thanks.

Download link and instructions

Link is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bS2UtuQn3bKWMrXn0IQx7MoXADGU1ZFH?usp=sharing. Download the zip file and extract everything in a folder. Run Apply Translation.bat and give it a valid game directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RiskysRevenge).
Then give it a number to apply the desired translation.
To uninstall, right click on the game in the steamlibrary, properties, local files, verify integrity.

Hola, ayer me compre la version de la Microsoft store y podias trabajar para que esa traduccion funcionase en esa version, por lo que vi tiene archivos casi similares pero menos archivos (https://ibb.co/SPfxx3z) y que por lo tanto el peso es de la mitad que el de la version de steam (https://ibb.co/qN4CGxr) . Enlace de su compra de esa version: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nhkjh1vm10p?hl

Muchas gracias!, pude completar todo el juego en español y no tuve absolutamente ningún problema

[sutsuring]

A mi me pasaba lo mismo, pero ejecutando el .bat desde el cmd ejecutando como administrador me ha funcionado perfectamente

[Blisco]

Disculpa, pero al momento de ejecutar el .bat, seleccionar la carpeta de la ruta especificada y agregar el idioma, (en mi caso el español) me sale errores de "el sistema no pudo encontrar la ruta especificada", y también "utils\paktools.exe" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.
El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado.
Seguido de eso, el juego solo traduce los textos del menú a medias y se estropea los diálogos de las partida.
Desearía que me explicaran si se puede solucionar este problema o existe algún otro método para poder cambiar el idioma del juego, gracias por su comprensión

I would really like to help with the missing French textures but I don't know how. Can someone tell me what to do please?

[Stylo "reincidente" Snow]

funciona muy bien

[Jaleczu]

funciona de maravilla, gracias

[Fornicador de medusas]

Bastante util, solamente descarguen el archivo del link del drive, descomprimen y ejecutan el archivo.bat, ahora seleccionan la carpeta "RiskysRevenge" (si no se acuerdan donde isntalaron el juego vayan a la biblioteca, click derecho y ver archivos locales), y eligen el numero de la traduccion q quieren (el español es el 4) dan enter y ya estaría.

[ValHam]

Even though I know some basic French, is it possible to try and proofread the script of the French game and DM you some stuff that needs fixing?

Muchas gracias, Esto es demasiado útil, No se si esto me paso solo a mi pero dejo como dato de que si no funciona la ruta revisa la carpeta en donde extrajiste el archivo y elimina la "carpeta nueva" ya eso un siete esta guía
