Dictionary - Font

If you need to replace some strings (like & to á), create a "FONT_%GAME%.map" (Replace %GAME% with the name game will you translate (NOA/NOA2/BR/ATSO)) file on the program folder and put "Value original"="Value replaced" like this (&=á) and Alucard will replace the strings.

Dictionary - Character names

With Alucard, you have the posibility to get all character names for the translation and make it so easier! First, export a file and open it with Poedit. And you have this

Do you see the hex value? Now, go to the game and reproduce the game situation with the text displayed

And now, create a "%GAME%.map" (Replace %GAME% with the name game will you import (NOA/NOA2/BR/ATSO)) file on the program folder and put "Hex value"="Name" like this (00=Sophie) and Alucard when you are exporting the files, you now have the characters names on the translation!
