Translation Description |
Sega Rally 2006, with as much text as possible translated into English for ease of navigation. It was achieved by editing the core asset file, DATA.FAB, with a hex editor; the file appears to be unencrypted, allowing it to be modified.
See the README for installation instructions and compatibility information. You must have a copy of the original game.

Notable translations
- Career Mode intro and profile creation.
- Career Mode top menus (Calendar, trophies, etc.).
- Calendar race names, vehicle restrictions, and rewards.
- Garage and Shop menus, including part and tire names, descriptions, and tuning menu.
- Pre-race splash screens.
- Sponsorship contract tutorials and objectives.
Limitations
- Translations are NOT meant to be accurate. The UTF-16LE encoding format means the *exact* same number of bytes must be used as the original text, and Japanese can fit a lot more information in less space than English (especially without spaces!).
- Graphics that display text (read: not actual text) are not translated. While textures can be found, an easy way to edit them is not currently available.
- Limited testing has been done at writing, and undiscovered bugs may be present.
Tools and Credits
- u/o-marshmallow, inital information on this topic.
- wxMEdit, UTF-16LE support out of the box.
- Durik256p, TextureFinder Python script, and by extension Noesis to run it. |
