Hello. My name is Ivan and I'm from Russia. I really need your help, Luigi. I want to translate into russian language the game "CSI: Deadly Intent". But i can not to open *.ttarch files in this game. I saw that you created extractors for earlier versions of CSI. I want to insert russian text instead english. Can you help me to open and rebuild these *.ttarch files?

oh it's simple, download ttarchext:
http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#ttarchext

now you must launch it from the console or you must prepare a batch file (file.bat) to run it:
ttarchext.exe 28 c:\file.ttarch c:\output_folder

so it will extract all the files contained in file.ttarch (for example CSI5_Miscellaneous.ttarch) into the c:\output_folder (which must be empty).
I'm not a modder but I guess that the files containing the language strings are those with the langdb extension.

now the rebuilding process depends by the game so take the following only as a generic example.

delete all the files in output_folder that you have not modified and launch:
ttarchext.exe -x -b -V 8 28 c:\0.ttarch c:\output_folder

it will create the file 0.ttarch that you can place with the others ttarch archives of the game and should be loaded by the game.
if the game crashes remove the -x option from the previous command.
if the game doesn't load the new modified files then I guess you must rebuild the whole archive or giving it another name.

note that I can't help with modding stuff or info about the content of the extracted files, I work only on ttarchext

personally I can't help, but I can give you a link about a discussion regarding the modding of Monkey Island (same engine, same files):
http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=31135#p31135

I have linked the first post in which there was a reference to the russian language but you should read the whole thread or at least its second half to know everything you need
