Hey there people!

As you may have known there's a BinderTool which you can use to extract Dark Souls III files, including the text files. These are stored in .msgbnd files. There are 3 files, namely "item.msgbnd", "menu.msgbnd" and "ngword.msgbnd".

ngword -> This file contains swearing and such, so it must be the file that censors names and nasty stuff.
item -> This contains item and spell names and descriptions, nothing else.
menu -> This contains everything else, from menu text to options to text written with soapstone to NPC speech.

I request a tool which can extract said text from these files, put them back in, and then insert it back into the .bdt file, so that the game could be translated.

I've attached these 3 files for everyone to see.

Thanks in advance if you take a look at them.
