HI i a new member to this form
i got hooked oh Pal 3 some years back but had to quit because it took
too long to pass everything when u can't read what ur suppose to do.
i was happy when i found a english demo version for Pal 1 (thank u translaters) but it was too short and i finished it in one hour. i checked the pal-eng form and it said that the full version is in the making and is asking for help from the general fans. i would love to help but i can't find where to do so. Can anybody help.

Hi there! Welcome to the forum =D
Unfortunately, that demo game thing seems to be discontinued :/ It hasn't been worked on for a very long time..

They updated their blog here: http://paleng.blog.com/

But it seems sort of "too little too late" since there doesn't seem to be much of a response. Seems like they're asking for the whole fan community to help. I would, but well...I can't.

So umm how do u actrually translate the thing, i mean the technality of it.
do u find the script some where in the game? I figrue we could shove the whole thing through Free translation.com or someting then correct the grammer mistakes bound to be there.

Updated? That's unexpected. We'll just wait and see if they are actually serious about the project.

Yes, that would be a way to translate it, although machine translations still require LOTS of hand corrections. For the technical part, you need to reverse-engineer the scripting system and the indexing system of the game so you can swap the chinese text for the english text...
