You are wanting to translate English to Spanish?

Unfortunately, there was never a large translation scene on the NGPC.

As of recent years, WyndCrosser has been the most active. Just see:
http://www.romhacking.net/?page=translat...ssearch=Go

Maybe we can get him here to talk a bit.

You are going to want to read something general to get an idea of the techniques/effort required.

The article links to Tile Layer Pro. http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/108/ We used it for the Cardfighters translation graphics. I would guess there's something newew/better, but this one supports Neo Geo Pocket.

You will want to look into the tools Atlas and Cartographer. It also seems there's a newer one named Kruptar.

Here are some links that may or may not be of use:

A huge information!

Yes, I want to translate to spanish some roms like Evolution or Card Fighters, someone RPG..

I read all pages as you say to me and finally with the HEdit of Yurisoft I can translate roms.

It's true that the ngpc scene is nearly to end..but people as us make it a little durable.

Thanks Flavor!!
There is a Portuguese translation of card fighters 1&2. I think that it could be a good basis for Spanish or at least help you a bit.

Ehmm..I think that is more easy translate english games to spanish than portugese to spanish, because the differences in language are huge.

I would like will be able translate from jap to another languages...but...not is a easy work..For the moment I'm translating Evolution to Spanish. You and your languge partners have good luck hehehehe, a lot of games has english as primary language!
Well, yes, maybe the language isn't better, but the guy has some good tools for Cardfighters.

You will start with Jap and translate to Spanish? Would you also translate Jap->English?

hopefully I can translate jap to english, but I not have the skills to do this :-( Let me check the portugese translations, maybe will be useful to use.
