RPG Maker in Custom Endangered Language

[tecuexe]

Hello newbie here,

I'm hoping to make a game in RPG Maker XP but in an endangered language I speak. I know Under Tools --> Database --> "System" I can change many words like "item" and "equip"

but how could I translate other parts of the game? For example "Save game". 

Thanks!

This might get a bit complicated, but you should take a look at the script editor in RMXP.

Go down to "Scene_Title" and change the purple text on lines 37, 38 and 39 to read whatever you need it to.

Ohh thats not too complicated then. 

Thanks!

You can do the same with other "Scene" entries to change things like save menu or game ending vocabulary. Just make sure you keep the quotation marks ("text") and only edit the purple text inside those quotation marks.

Good luck with your project!

One additional advice:

You might find some texts that contain special codes like %s (I don't know XP, but in Ace there are a lot such vocabs).

In that case, the %s is a placeholder for some other text like a name or a value - usually it's obvious what will be there from the rest of the text.

You need to keep the number of %s in each string identical, but you can move them a bit to fit the language.
