Use this script:

Code:

# Forza Horizon 3 STR
quickbmsver "0.8.1"
get NAME basename
string NAME   ".txt"
savepos CHUNK_OFF
idstring "\x00\x03\x02\x00"
for CHUNK = 0 < 2
    # the first chunk of strings are the values, while the second one are the id/type
    if CHUNK == 0
        get DUMMY long
        get CHUNK_SIZE long
    else
        math CHUNK_SIZE = 0
        cleanexit   # you don't need the ids if you want to translate the game
    endif
    get CHUNK_DATA_SIZE long
    get DATA_SIZE long
    get STRINGS long
    savepos TMP
    xmath BASE_OFF "TMP   (STRINGS * (4   4))"
    for i = 0 < STRINGS
        get DUMMY long
        get OFFSET long
        math OFFSET   BASE_OFF
        slog NAME OFFSET -1 unicode
    next i
    math CHUNK_OFF   CHUNK_SIZE
    goto CHUNK_OFF
next CHUNK

As written in the comments there are 2 sets of strings: values and ids.
If you want to translate the game you need to dump only the values which is the default action of the script.
Use the reimport mode to reinsert your strings back in the STR files.

Sorry, unfortunately I could not. Could you give a little more simple explanation? This is very important for me.

• open the generated txt file with an editor
• edit the strings you want without making them longer than the originals
• click on reimport.bat and select the SAME script, file and folder you selected for the extraction. I repeat, the SAME.

Unfortunately I can't help you in real-time.
It's very simple: if it doesn't work it means you made something wrong.
quickbms tells you if reimporting was successful.
