Editing TRA files.

[saulob]

Ok, I searched and no luck. So there goes my question:
Is it possible to edit the .tra files ? The already translated files.

I mean, I just want to edit the game text.
It's an old game and I couldn't find the translation.txt files... So no luck at all making new translation for it.

So, is it possible to editing on the had way ?

Thanks.

Nope I am afraid, you need the source translation file for that matter.

More precisely, you must be trusted by the creator of the game to make a translatin.

You see, TRA is a file of compiled translation, so that no one apart from the game author or their trusty translator (who should really have their original TXT translation) could read or change a text. That's like a game .EXE file of compiled game data and code. And you are not supposed to change EXE really; the same applies to TRA.
