Re: BK games
There is an instructions file which comes along with the dictionary that tells you where to put it once you've installed Bk3, but it's pretty much as you guess, you just bang it in the game's data folder and hit play.
It will even auto update for you too.
Shadowline and dreamy train are both worth it, and yes, that counts the price required for shadowline.
the translation is garbled in a lot of places, and certainly a lot of the emotional beats of Shadowline's story, or the descriptive passages of Dreamy trains trains would benefit from some attention. However, it's more than possible to get a good idea of what is happening, and play the games successfully, both of which are extremely good quality and very addictive.
Other Japanese games which you might consider are the very extensive demo of Planet saga, Galaxy laboratory's next rpg following shadlowline, which expands the gameplay quite a lot, but is not yet complete, and which works fine with JGT, Komandoh,fun robot smashy spinning action, and again fully JGT friendly.
Also note that komandoh 2 from Nyanchan games, sequel to Komandoh, bigger and more complex but quite a bit harder (I'd recommend playing the first game first), has had a full translation by an English speaking developer (though there are still a couple of dialogue boxes in Japanese).
I'd also recommend trying breed memorial and audio strike. Both have been translated using Google translate with a bit of grammar checking. The text is more readable than the direct google translations you'd get with Jgt in games like Dreamy train, but not as good as Komandoh 2 or Bk3 which have had far more work put into their translations, both are also very awesome games, being the most complex audio space invaders shooter and a very fun an detailed monster care and battle game respectively.
