As title says, is there any way to translate Katana Zero?
It's a Game Maker game but Undertale Mod Tools says that the texts are stored into the game executable.

Is there any way to edit it instead use an hex editor?

I second this request… Wanted to translate this game in Italian.

I'm afraid our only chance is to contact the devs directly:

Try aluigi's exestringz. https://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm#exestringz

I tried aluigi's exestringz. Text file extracted successfully. But when I repack, .exe file dosen't open. I'm glad if you help me.

https://mega.nz/#!jdxWxYJT!dc7g2yfFnpv3 ... U2CPUXKYvc

contains .exe and text files.

Try "remove all the strings you don't need to change, remember only to remove also the __________ line above each one of them".

I'll try it. Thank you for help me.

I tried exestringz but it doesn't work. This tool not open.

So, there's a working solution to translate this game and recompile the exe correctly?

No you can't: you have to stay in the given bytes in that case.

I translated English lines but the game didn't open. I uploaded original .exe file.

Essentially, exestringz tool works as expected (example 1, example 2, example strings.txt). Also, it's completely cross-compatible with any supported characters - for example, you can paste japanese string into english phrase and it will work.

Possible solutions:
1) Import only edited strings, not the whole extracted file.
2) Don't re-import updated strings.txt into already modified exe. Always use original exe file.
3) Don't use characters which game doesn't support. Though it should support almost all characters, maybe except some vietnamese. Not sure about that.

I did all you said. I deleted the extra lines. I didn't use my language's characters. I always used original exe when I import translate into it. But it dosen't works. When exe file' size increases, game dosen't open. I uploaded my incomplete translation. I'm glad if you help me.

@galiali: For example, don't use line breaks for actual script in the txt, it will break importing process.
Instead of:

_____________system_stuff
Hello!
My name is...

you should use:

_____________system_stuff
Hello!* My name is...

or something.

Also, you can check script for proper tags. For example, "[y]text[/]" will make your text yellow, but strings "text[/]" or "[y]text" most likely will break the game (due to opening/closing tag missing). Or some other complicated tags, I didn't reseach it that close.

Try to import at least one or two plain strings to make sure it will work. If it will not work, that means you're doing something wrong with the whole re-importing process.

@galiali
Were you finally able to translate the game? I'd like to translate it into Italian.
