And I think the result really is better if the game is translated by someone
who is able to, instead of a computer. I already said I'm interested, but
the problem of the text data storage is my problem as well.
Besides, the problem described with the huge amount of text might be
connected with the fact that Shalom is a 256kB-game. Exceeding this will
possibly cause problems (I don't know the details, however). The fact is,
that English translations of the Japanese texts generally consist of more
text.
