This activity_us.le_strings is not the same as the activity_us.le_strings from my SRIV install. It's quite different and about 4KB smaller.

It also doesn't match SRTT or SRGOOH's activity_us.le_strings either - where did you get this file?

That appears to be this translation: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/korean-patch-from-conundrum-한글-패치.14081/ ?

It looks like the way they've added characters to the font isn't ideal - they've hacked in characters at odd spots - my tools won't work with this as it is.

There's actually a South Korean language entry in the game and this could be done more elegantly I think... there's even a charlist file for South Korean... no idea how complete it is though.

edit: There's even a SK font already bundled in SRIV... this could be done quite nicely I think...

edit2: well I can get SRIV to start up using Korean but it won't load my example menu_sk.le_strings file... will have to have a bit more of a play with this...

edit3: Well I can now get it to do this:
sriv-korean-test.png

Which is done with these strings files and a little bit of abuse of the modding patch EXE.

edit4: this is an ugly ugly hack (but it does work)... I've attached a DLL and source code. If you dump the DLL into your SRIV folder along with the menu_sk.le_strings file and launch SRIV with the launch option "-localize_language sk" you should get a game that starts up and will try to load Korean language strings using the Volition provided Korean font. You can then extract US language strings (such as menu_us.le_strings), change the language in the XML to "Korean" and then edit them (hopefully just using normal unicode) and rebuild them into a file named something like "menu_sk.le_strings". Put that into the root and the game should load it.

Something similar should be doable for voice line subtitles too rather than hackily replacing the US English subtitles.

edit5: helps if I remember to upload the DLL files.

If they hacked in characters, does it mean previously translated strings are useless?
or can it be decoded to SK charset?

I can extract the data, but I don't know how to map them to proper unicode characters - and I don't know korean so it makes it doubly hard.

edit: I should be able to make a tool that takes a string file and a list of unicode characters and you should be able to create your own map that way. Slightly nasty but worth a shot.

Hmm.. Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it.

OK, here's a dump of all the characters from the font included in that translation.

There's an image for each character, and a file called "map.txt" - please open map.txt and type in the character that's shown in each image next to the number inside the quotes - so for example 33.png would be:

Code: 
33 "!"

I've already filled in the ones I could do.

Once you've done that, attach map.txt to the post and I should be able to make a tool that can convert the string files provided in that translation to proper unicode for editing.
