Software: MTK Patcher

How to translate Jefferson's programs - TuToRiAl


It seems that all Jefferson's programs are packed with .exe packer called UPX.
So, first you need to download it from : http://upx.sourceforge.net/#download



For our example, we will change a one program string called "Principal" in program mtkPatcher v0.12 beta.

To do this, we need to have a program for that purpose, I love to use a program called Resource Hacker, you can download it from : http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/

But you will not have access to all resources of program (in our example mtkPatcher v0.12 beta) if it's packed, so you need first to unpack program's .exe before you open it with Resource Hacker.

To do this, follow next steps.

1.) Unpack both archives.



2.) Copy file upx.exe in the same folder where mtkPatcher is.



3.) Now, run upx.exe with Command Prompt (START > All Programs > Accessories > Command prompt) and unpack mtkPatcher.exe with UPX using the -d parameter.

e.g. upx -d [file_name]

You also need to know few basic commands for Command Prompt.
These are:

cd..       is equal to button in Windows Explorer
cd         is equal to double left click with mouse on folder
[hdd_partition_letter]:         change to C partition start path (e.g. C: or D: or E: etc...)

It means that you need to know how to come to right location with Command Prompt where upx.exe and mtkPatcher are.

When you come to right location, unpack .exe with command described above.



4.) Open mtkPatcher.exe with Resource Hacker



5.) Now, we need to serach for right string (in or example it's "Principal)





6.) First, we will come here, but this is not what we are looking for, we are seraching for captions, so, click Find Next.





7.) This is what we are looking for:



8.) Now, change the string "Principal" (in our example we will change it to "Example"). Then click Compile Script button, and we can save the changes.





9.) We can run now mtkPatcher.exe to see the changes.





10.) For the end, we can pack back the .exe file, so it will have smaller size.

Use again UPX and Command Prompt, next command that we will need is:

upx [file_name]








------------------------------------------------
I hope that you will understand the whole process.

Now I'm waiting for new english versions of Jefferson's software 

GOOD LUCK!
