I want to translate the Touhou games into cantonese and I have no idea where to even start. Have any of you made custom tables for foreign scripts? Apparently some people already translated the games into Thai and that sounds like a lot of work

I have no idea where to even start

Back in my day, we used a free Hex Editor to open the file, and just scrolled until we found interesting text, and switched it.

I'm sure there's better tools now, though.

The tools will be fairly specific to the game you're hacking. For example, a lot of tools exist for GBA Pokemon games, but something like porymap won't work for another game.
