Problem editing RPGVXace data

[mikesmith123]

I haven't had an issue editing in game text until now. It's an RPGVXace data file, which I assume is rails.
I'm able to find the character text, rewrite what the characters say. Save. Then the game fails to run.
If I use Translator++ the file with the texts isn't visible.
I'm sure the answer is something obvious to people who use RPGVX Ace, but the game author has admitted in the README that they had made spelling mistakes, but it was too late to correct it once the game was finalized. I'm not sure they can edit it either.

What would be the best method of changing text without causing an error?
It does not appear to be encrypted.

Does this happen if you just open the file and save it without editing?

It is possible that the text editor you are using is converting special characters into something else once you hit "save", and that could be causing the game to stop working.

You should try using different text editors to see if you find one that doesn't rewrite over the special characters.

This could also be an issue with your system not supporting some japanese characters and saving them as something else after you open the file, if that is the case installing the japanese language pack could fix that.
