NewSuperWario2 With MKDSCM, open Main2D_xx (xx replaced by the language you use) and open common.bmg.
You'll see all the names of the characters, tracks, cups... this is only for the names that appear in-race.
To change the names on the menus (if you r saying the big names on the character selection screen) you have to open CharacterKartSelect.carc and open this pallete: select_character_gp_m_o.NCLR, now open CharacterKartSelectXX(xx like always is the language) , double click on select_character_gp_name_m.nce.ncgr and select_character_gp_name_m.nce.ncge, and you'll see the names, so you have to export the image (select_character_gp_name_m.nce.ncgr) , now edit it without changing the pallete.
Now select File>New>NCLR,NCGR,NSCR, select the image, and if you did it without fails, you only have to replace character_select_gp_name_m.nce.ncgr, and test if you did it good.
I think this is the method that used SYStEM fot MK0.

Pipsqueak737 How can I change the language from Japanese to English? When I replace the file, it's still in Japanese.

Change the DS or emulator firmware's language setting. if that doesn't work, then the Japanese version probably doesn't have English.

MKGirlism The Japanese MKDS supports only Japanese in-game, so changing the DS or Emulator Language won't help.
