Well, first off, not all people here speak English. Secondly, people can still advise you even thought you don't try to translate into English, since it'd be the hacking side not the translation side mostly. Thirdly, you won't get help without formulating a particular problem and providing enough data, be aware of that. Other than that, there are lots of people who would be more than willing to help you, I'm sure of that. It's just that the most general questions usually get the most general answers, so they won't help much.

What are you confused about, what have you already tried, what have you learned to be where you are now? To implement a VWF, it is usually required to have a lot of ASM skill! Also, what did you find out in those six months? It would be good to know what things you have discovered and related to each other so far, just a big overview, mind you, just to know where you are at.

Also, translation hacking is always different. Some things are really easy on one platform/ in one game and mind-bogglingly hard in the next. There is no magic solution to all your hacking problems or something.
So, I think you should start with something that you could not achieve alone and ask for specific help here if you really want to get a feeling for this.

Yoy may not have noticed, but the game has already a VWF built-in. It's visible clearly from your pictures, because the sizes of the kanji/kana don't add up - notice how マルス is wider than タリス by some pixels. Also, when you edited the K, it was drawn into another character, namely シ. So you only need to find the width table and adjust it properly to make it work!

Your idea with two (or more) versions of the same letter is not good. It will require you to write a program that measures it all and is reduandant as the game obviously has VWF capabilities!

Also, you will either need to dump the script yourself, or get a script in such a format that you can reinsert. It is generally a bad idea to translate the script only to find out that there is no automated way to put it back into the game! A lot of translators and hackers already had this issue, so don't let it happen to you, too!

As for Atlas, I'm sorry, but I'm not knowledgeable about this. I only had to dump a whole script once and programmed my own dumper/inserter for that. However, there are many people here who use it quite regularly and if I'm not mistaken even the creator of it! So chances are good somebody else knows!

So keep your head up and try to find that width table. Even if you do not know assembler, you can always run some basic tracing/breakpointing and get yourself familiar with that at least! If you're on windows, pick up Geiger's SNES9X with debugger (here)
Set a breakpoint on read to the text you are currently working on, say on 0x71A42, that would be the タ from the second line's タリス. You have to figure out the addressing mode of your rom for that (HiRom, LoRom, ExHiRom, ExLoRom, etc.) and convert your data file offset (0x71A42 for example) into the addressing mode of the system and mapper of the game. Then you can set a breakpoint on read to it.
Then you just have to play the game until that text line comes up, the debugger will hit a line of asm and you will just go from there. Usually, what would be happening is, that it reads the hex code for タ, 0x60, and then calculates various offsets for its graphics (the actual gfx 「タ」) and then at some point it's width. When you are at that point, just note down the offset of the table and you're set!
