Can someone tell me where I can find and edit the text files? I really need to change some stuff in the german version.
The textfiles

Which text files?
As far as I know the installer places files in
- The install directory
- The My Games directory
- C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout3
If you are refering to the esm (elder scrolls master files) or esp (elder scrolls plugin files) TESsnip is currently the closest we have to an editor.
If you are refering to the xml files controling the UI, you have to use either Timeslips or ScripterRons utility to extract them from the bsa. After that any simple texteditor (notepad) will do.

I mean the weapon names, dialog text and so on.

That kind of stuff is going to be in the ESM file which is basically a big archive of settings. I don't think anything other than the Construction Set was ever created to browse and alter individual settings for Oblivion, I could be wrong though. Things like TESsnip let you tweak entries but I'm not sure on what kind of scale.
Hmm so not possible at the moment? This is bad, because some german translations are a bit... unfitting.

Given that Timeslip were able to add a new weapon with TESsnip, I'm quite sure that it would be possible to edit names of items and similar. It may take some time to figure out how to use it, and understand the file structure.
Best of luck! And be sure to backup Fallout.esm before you start.

Hey Lexx, i got the same problem.
I wanted to make some little fixes on Fallout 3's french dialogues.
So far, i could locate the Dialog lines with fomm and TESsnip (thanks a lot Timeslip), but i couldn't understand what is shown and how can we modify the dialog lines.
=> Dialogue lines seems to be in Fallout 3.esm\GRUP (DIAL).
EDIT : I've managed to make it work, but i haven't tested it in-game yet.
OK, when you have opened GRUP (DIAL), you see all the dialog trees listed : Double-Click on "GRUP" just after the name of the Dialog Tree (like DIAL (PLAYERLOCKEDOBJECT) and you will see some new entries "INFO"
Each "INFO" is a dialog line, when you click on one "INFO" check on the bottom left of the screen in the "Name" column, you will see DATA, QSTI, TRDT, NAM1, etc...
Double click on NAM1 and you can edit the dialog line !
Now, maybe someone could help us to make a new .esp file which will only contain the modified dialog lines instead of editing the whole Fallout3.esm

Hmm. Is a esp file needed for this? Or could it also stay in the right Fallout 3 folder, like the other available mods are doing it?
