If anyone wants to fill out a file like the one I've attached to this post (looks like below) I can immediately turn that into a translated version of any game. All that is except for the built-in menu text which can be Japanese or English (in a matter of weeks the menus should be fully translatable)
I think Todd would like to see Dark Destiny translated into Japanese as soon as possible (if possible) also. If you just want to translate a little bit to see how it goes that's ok to. I will upload a translation file for any game that I can. I can also post the tool I have that generates that file if anyone wants it (I think it will be on John's website any day)
PS: Dumping your text this way is also very handy if you need to proofread what you have. You can search thru it / spell check it / generally have an easy time reading everything from top to bottom. And the comments should be enough to easily find the text in the editing tools so you can correct it.
