Good table for translatorsweissvulf2017-11-01Version 1.0

A good simple table file that covers everything you're likely to encounter while translating or extracting text from a SHIFT-JIS encoded Japanese game.

A table encoded in SHIFT-JIS (as this one is) is vital to specific translating operations such as re-inserting text dumped in SHIFT-JIS format. The other SHIFT-JIS table currently listed here is encoded in UTF-8 which makes it unsuitable for such operations without a fair bit of hassle.

ShortcomingsTauwasser2009-09-14-

The file has some wrong mappings and at least two kanji characters of the basic Shift-JIS set are missing, due to their late introduction in JIS X 0208. The table file itself features only the basic Shift-JIS set.

It does not cover any extensions which would be needed to view files encoded in CP932, the Microsoft Japanese codepage, correctly in all circumstances.

These shortcomings have urged me to create a new table file featuring a full set of mappings that is compatible with CP932.
