Hello! Sorry that there aren't any tools to modify MCD files now, but there's a reason for that:

MCD files are rather annoying, because they are accompanied with a texture that contains all the characters used. When used in game, the game takes these characters and writes out text with it. However, since MCD files rarely contain the full alphabet of the language, you’d have to squeeze in characters that are missing in your new translation, or just remake the texture entirely.

While it is technically possible, the process of modding MCD files is a pain to go through, which is why I haven’t made any good modding tools for them.

I am planning on making them moddable in the near future (stay tuned!), though I can't provide a concrete release date for it.
