Did you not mistake the game you were talking about? HeL is mostly text-based from my research so there shouldn't be that many images to translate. In any case the tool to modify images is ALDExplorer and for text/code it is alice-tools.
By the way I translated HeL some, and trying to edit the text now. I'll probably upload the slightly edited MTL soon, even if I like the game and want to fix the text some more, there's just too much.
PS: Do anyone want to help with fixing this? I can provide original->translation scripts in plaintext DSV/CSV format that can be edited even in notepad, also Python tool to reapply them to decoded game files and explanation how to build those back into the working game, if needed.
Most problems of the translation come from SFXes, too long translations and text lines being split midway so MTL-engines did not get those at all.
What is translated: story text, location names, monster, item and skill names, some of the speech bubbles. Intro level story text is checked manually.
What is untranslated: names above story text (IDK where are they, variable names maybe?), player stats (they are probably inside ex blocks of flat.afa, IDK how to repack them back), some menu stuff including in-game menu items (same as previous).
What is translated but needs to be manually uncommented one-by-one: hero bubbles in the stats screen, story progression choices.

Here is translated EX file for the map names/items/skills/baloons and also translation scripts.
I will send link to translated AIN file (story translation) to people who'll help with the scripts for now (at least 300 lines fixed; so if ~60 people do that the translation will be complete, lol).
What requires fixing, any of this will do:
Scripts (csv files) can be edited even in notepad so literally anyone with access to computer running Windows can do it.
Edit: Removed since there's an official translation now.

What requires fixing, any of this will do:
- Sound effects, they often consist of repeating characters or pairs of characters. When not fixed they sound entirely dumb and out of place, googletranslate's transliteration field made readable should be enough;
- Split multiline sentences, as they often are quite incomprehensible or wrong, they need to be joined and fed into translate.google.com / deepl.com, I don't have real hopes for manual translation here;
- Lines that overflow over story window should be moved to the next/previous line of the same dialog or shortened;
- Lines that overflow system windows or bubbles need to be cut as much as possible keeping some semblance of original meaning.

Just a reminder for everyone.
If you already have a save and put the english Items translation in the game you'll need to start over a new save for the items name/descriptions to appear in english.
I've also seen this happen with Gears of Dragoon EngUI patch... I don't know what it is with rpgs and saving the item database together with the save.
