Japanese/English interleaved dialogue for language learners
This modification of Neverwinter Nights 1 makes it possible to see the Japanese dialogue together with the original English dialogue.
If you are playing the game in Japanese for educational reasons and find it hard, this modification can help in understanding what's happening in the dialogue.
Installation- Install the Japanese edition of Neverwinter Nights.
- Go to the installation directory you selected.
- Make a backup/rename of the two files dialog.tlk and dialogf.tlk, since we will replace them in step 5.
- Download and open the attached zip file available here at this page. There will be two files available in the archive.
- Replace the dialog.tlk file with dialog-japanese-english.tlk, and replace dialogF.tlk with dialog-japanese-englishF.tlk.
- Start the game and (hopefully) enjoy!
Other information
The tools I've used for making this are open-source at https://github.com/sylt/tlk-utils.
Disclaimer: This might sound strange, but I have not actually tried this modification myself :) I simply let my dialogue interleaving program interleave the English and the Japanese text. I did this on request from user insightfulwhim.
I can say though that my program which interleaves the dialogue did not work as well for Japanese as for Spanish (which is that is originally was for). This has to do with how the program identifies blocks of text. It should be possible to improve though I think. One problem is that I can't read/speak/understand Japanese. Hopefully though, it should be good enough for learning purposes.
If you manage to take a screenshot of this mod in action, please contribute it!
