I remember some guy did this:

-He took the image file (this image file supposedly has the 'written' text instead of simply the letters).
-He turned it into a selectable format, keeping the original format (image > text) by using some 3rd party program made for scanners (or even Adobe can do this, I'm not sure).
-Used google, and a book to best guess the translation.
-Readjusted them back into image format for use.
-Inject it back into the game of choice.

It was for some small H-Game I recall, and it was a while back (like 3+ years ago) so things might have been simpler now. Sorry if I sound flimsy and cannot really help. Hopefully, somone can net you better help.

Cheers mate.

I'll Just respnd in english, as its a little rude if we sit and Have a conversation in Japanese.
Actually Im English living in the UK.
You work in CG production huh? thats cool, Thats what a LOT of us on this forum are specifically trying to get into actually, I am aiming to work in Japan but it all depends what happens I suppose... My japanese is SERIOUSLY rusty recently...I havent had the oppertunity to speak Japanese in quite some time honestly...

on a side note... what does Kuringo mean?, Im assuming GO = 語, but I havent heard Kurin before... though i did 1st think it might possibly be slang for 韓国 but I doubt it.

Anyways, in English this time

By guessing ,it can mean "Americain" in his sentence , but I don't know this word too.

Its can't be a kanji since he writted it on katakana .

[squall789]

Well I googled it but still nothing really. Maybe someone else here might know what it means.

I really hate when I find a single word in a sentance I cant read...sometimes its the most important word...
