Text[edit | edit source]

"TextTree" could be renamed to LanguageTree, is more intuitive, the point is every entry here is the "parent" of several string texts, but the entry itself is not a text (is the parent of a group of texts), so is better to use a name more abstract like "LanguageTree"

For a Language first are specified the language_id and the number of "children" text strings

Offset Length Name Example Notes
0x00 0x02 language_id 0x00=Japanese
0x01=English (United States)
0x02=French
0x03=Spanish (Spain)
0x04=German
0x05=Italian
0x06=Dutch
0x07=Portuguese (Portugal)
0x08=Russian
0x09=Korean
0x0A=Chinese (Traditional)
0x0B=Chinese (Simplified)
0x0C=Finnish
0x0D=Swedish
0x0E=Danish
0x0F=Norwegian
0x10=Polish
0x11=Portuguese (Brazil)
0x12=English (United Kingdom)
0x13=Turkish
0x02 0x02 character_encoding Works as a replacement of the BOM
0x00=UTF8
0x01=UTF16
0x02=UTF32
0x04 0x04 strings_number number of text strings for this language_id

Now for every strings_number are repeated 12 bytes to define every string that are references to other tables

Offset Length Name Example Notes
0x00 0x04 label_offset Offset to label, relative of the label table
0x04 0x04 string_length Length of the text
0x08 0x04 string_offset Offset of the text, relative to the text data start address

Adding custom language packs[edit | edit source]

  • PS3MFW_Builder::PSheb_project. Info about the PSheb project needs to be improved, splitted and moved to several wiki pages:
    • Info about .xml modifications moved to Languages page
    • Info about .tcl "language pack" task stays in PS3MFW Builder page
    • Info about replacing or adding characters/glyphs in the official .ttf fonts moved to XMB Fonts page
