I'm doing an English tranlation of the free tool, "Wolf RPG Editor". You can get details from their home-page,

NOTE: This project is on indefinite hold until I can convince the original developers to let me join their team.



Usage: Just place the above executable in the same directory as "Editor.exe" which you get from the main site and run the translation!

I'm in work right now, so I make this brief.
Blue circled elements are maps names and those names can be changed somewhere in DB - don't remember which DB and Type contains map data however.
Both red circled elements require hex editing skills. Let's start with dropdown lists, shall we?
Each Dialog with list(s) has additional entry in 240 category (I think they're called Binary Data or something similar) with same ID as Dialog. What you need to do is to export this resource to .res file, hex edit all lists elements and then import changed .res file. It can be tricky, so you need to be careful - I don't have time right now to go into details and even if I had the time I don't know if I could explain this clearly enough (even in polish).
Dynamic strings can be changed by directly hex editing .exe file. Problem with this is that string space is limited (that's why "mine" max. speed string is different/shorter than yours). Another problem is that some strings occur two or more times and I really don't know how easy it is to screw something up. But I just started exploring that just yesterday so hope is still strong .
Same thing applies to some static strings, such as Checkpoint / P check in events list, some dialogs title bars, and many more.
Game error points you to Common (not sure) Event 124, line 15 (also not sure), so maybe there you'll find more info on how to repair this. It's possible you translated DB Types when other dialog windows were opened - that can screw things up sometimes. That's one of the possibilities.

I found the 240 category. Didn't realize that was where the drop-down lists were. With ResEdit, it seems that I might be able to edit the entries in there, but I haven't tested this myself. What tool do you use to extract data to .res files and can the same tool be used to import data from .res files as well?
Worst case scenario, if I can't figure it out, I might have to leave translating those sections to you.

Now that you mention about common events, that sounds like something I could explore. It will have to wait till the weekend though, so this could take some time.

Do you know any small games made using Wolf RPG Editor? I think I have enough know-how to try my hand at translating one of those and it might help bring some attention to this project. Speaking of which, when you said that you know how much of a pain it is to translate each and every version of an editor, did you mean Wolf or is it another program? I'm curious.
