Translation Game - Dragon Quest IV - Michibikareshi Mono-tachi (Japan) - English - PS1

[DQMaster]

Hi everyone, I've been studying and creating Python scripts with AI assistance for months and I've made great progress towards translating the PS1 game Dragon Quest IV - PS1
The biggest problem I'm having is re-inserting it; that's the biggest challenge. I've tried all sorts of testing methods, using various AIs, but I haven't been able to do it. I would appreciate any help with the project.

Here's my repository on GitHub: https://github.com/DQ-2025/PROJECTDQ

Any help is welcome.
All the texts are translated and are in the folder:
Translation_files: file name:
translation_csv_limpo.csv (
They are all translated already, but a slight review is needed, as I couldn't translate some specific Japanese texts correctly (more or less 87000 translated texts)
In the tools_output folder: are all the extracted and decoded texts with their correct paths, more than 91,000 texts.
Progress:
Extract text → DONE (dq4_extractor_with_mapping.py)
Generate CSV → DONE (generate_translation_csv.py)
Fill CSV with translations → DONE, need review (Excel/LibreOffice)
Validate translations → RUN load_translations.py
Inject into ROM → RUN dq4_advanced_real_injector.py
Test on PS1 emulator → FINAL STEP

Read the readme (It's in Brazilian Portuguese, but you can translate it into English to understand).

All the tools used are in the tools folder.

Hi and kongratz for your work, did you try romhacking.net too? It's a good place to try a chance at it, perhaps the help might come from there. (Or here too or both ).
