Description (last modified by legluondunet)

Hello,
someone has translated Teen Agent in french.
I joined you the patch fr from Ghylard.
This patch is GOG compatible.
One applied you can play Teen Agent in french on Dosbox but not with ScummVM.
Do think you could support it to play Teen Agent in french with ScummVM?

Summary: Teen Agent french translationTEENAGENT: French Translation Support Patch

IIRC Teenagent embeds all the strings in the game executable, which must have been patched here. This would need a fair bit of work to add this support.

Indeed, I checked the attached file. It is an innosetup bundle (use innoextract), which has TEENAGENT.fr file which is renamed to TEENAGENT.exe during installation.

Somebody needs to extract the strings from this new executable.

I don't know if that can help. The french translation is in the *.exe file and not in the data files.

It is possible, but tricky. I have taken a look at the modified executable and the strings are visible in the data segment. If they still start at the same offsets, then we could duplicate the string data into the teenagent.dat file and switch based on language. If they are moved around, this could be tricky. However, I did fully reverse and document the dseg offsets a while back in: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/teenagent/resources.h
