bin_win32\interface\character.ctx = character infos
bin_win32\interface\equipment.ctx =item infos

they are hex files you will need a editor if yo can't see on the bi_win32 then you need to unpak files see modding post on the forum there you can find unpak programs

I extracted the 4 data.pak files (data_win32.pak, data1_win32.pak, data2_win32.pak, data3_win32.pak), but none of them contain these two ctx files. Am I missing something?

So that's why I couldn't find them. It's a lot like the textfile of Just Cause 2. Do they contain UI texts as well?
Hm, ctx_magick.exe somhow doesn't work on my 64 bit Win 7. It says it's not compatible (I have turned off UAC).

okay here what you need to do make .ctx file work for ctx_magic.exe (I have experienced that problem at first :P ) after you extract your .ctx files just right click>properties>change open with section to ctx_magic.exe (I have multiple hdd I use it in D: but be sure dont use in c:\program files or c:\program files (x86) some problems may happens there)

Tried it, same error. Even tried it on a fresh WinXP with Virtualbox, but there the ctx_magick.exe just hangs, does nothing. Weird... Could somebody upload the two directories with the extracted ctx files somewhere (like mediafire)?

Win 7 64 here and works fine with command line, but that's not the point. Here's the vanilla interface folder. And btw what language are you translating to? Just curious.

English to Hungarian. At least I would like, haven't done translating in a while now.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad, I would like the CONVERTED files from the interface directory. Ctx_magick.exe won't work here :)

What was happening when it wasn't working? If it is a technical problem with my code, please make a trouble ticket on the github page.

I have a problem.

After I changed the equipment.ctx with the help of ctx_magick.exe in a txt file and edit equipment.ctx.txt I know no further. :(

What do I have to do to the changes to take effect in the game?
Where do the copy txt file, or do I have to back into a ctx file to convert and if how?

Thank you for your help

Run the tool on the txt file. It will be compiled into a ctx file.
