Quote:

I am trying to translate chinese software,
have to work with uft16,
found simply scripts on this forum how to replace aob patterns
but 1 character in chinese "alphabet" can't be replace easily with latin alphabet,
sorry bad english, I will write example:

chinese "word":

Code:

用
2875

translated:

Code:

Use
5500 7300 6500

I can replace the original character "用" with "U"
but if I try to relace it with "Use" it breaks the software.

I searched more details about the software with windows tools,
and I could find that the words I want to translate are inside
BCGPPropList

other words are inside SysListView32,
but this ones I could change at .exe directly using Hex editor and it works,
I can't find the words/characters inside BCGPPropList before runtime.

found solution, there was byte before each field with length word.
dumb me
