Guild Wars 2

I want to start a fan project – translation of Guild Wars 2. Why? I know many players, who left game not because they didn’t enjoy it, but because they couldn’t understand the plot or descriptions of skills. Translation itself is a huge undertaking , but we cannot even start until we will extract the text files from the game and prepare them for translators.

AN is busy making new story and updates, so they cannot help with translation. I am not IT specialist, so I was wondering if it is possible to extract the files from gw2.dat, translate them and then send them back to AN to add them to the game.

The project will surely require a lot of hands to work on it, but I see no sense in making a website and assemble the people if we cannot even start the work. Could someone say if it is possible to do so or it will require the developer’s help even to start.
