curranty I don't have much more spare time to put on these, maybe later
also I checked your files a little, every file you sent kinda have a little different structure...
and also, looks like you edited DT_WidgetSetting_SelectStory_Episode_PanelInfo file before sending it to me, because some part of it don't make sense (at least to me)

no worries,you did more than enough,thank you very much.
yes,one of the files i have edited with hex editor,but was not happy with the result....utf-16le gives very limited space for english text.i can attach the original one though,but when you have more free time of course.Also,some of the text in the files have utf-16be,some of it utf-16le encoding.Btw,i was thinking,no offence of course,maybe i can donate something for your work,just let me know.
thanx again.

Well, You have edited the file incorrectly, which has damaged it.
And no thank you, there is no need for donation.

so,most of the text replacement works,even in the widgets,but only when the text is "static",as shown in the pics...



The problem is with some of the japanese text,even if i hex edit it,it's still japanese in game,and it's in the same file...





That's how it looks like in game...
