I was fiddlin' around in the Data folder and I couldn't help but notice a bunch of string files which presumably contain subtitles (and other junk), so I was wondering, does anyone know how does one edit it, or if there is some common rule to it.
For I have tried simply changing the lines, and Skyrim outright crashes in the main menu.

Any help would be very appreciated.

This is for a personal project, I wanted to make a language pack for my own language

PS. Also, do the files support any sort of UTF-8? Which will allow cyrillic and other unconventional fonts?

You need to hexedit. This won't work the way you want it to, though, since you have to use the same amount of characters per entry. For example, if you wanted to change "Good day!" to "What's up!" you could because they are each 9 characters, but you couldn't change "Good day!" to "How are you?", you would either be extending bits (big no no for compiled files) or overwriting the proceeding bits and breaking the file structure.

That said, I saw someone was working on a string compiler mod. Good luck.
