I am not a native speaker of English, so I will not be able to do the translation, after I finish editing the executable file, I will post it so that anyone can do the translation.

you will not need it, you will need to write ASCII characters.
I haven't finished finalizing the executable yet, but if you need it to check the translation, I can post it.
the unpacker of *.MRG files is also ready, but there is no packer yet.

No need I am not a translator finishes it and then we can test it

Are the .MRG container/archive files using compression for any of their assets? If so, have you identified the algorithm?

When I have some spare time, I was going to write an extractor/rebuilder for the dialogue text .MES files. For all of my translation projects, I write a script extractor that produces spreadsheets, which makes it very easy for a team to collaborate using something like Google Docs. This method also allows for the preservation of things like control codes, and any other formatting quirks that must be re-inserted back when the rebuild is done.
