for being an Eddie fan tell me the name of the Rom you wanna translate, Rom patches are Not illegal, so I can provide you with the patch if its possible

there are language packs online that are very easy to find. Just search for those on google.

If you want a translation, make sure your ROM is OK (check with NSRT (http://nsrt.edgeemu.com). If the ROM does not have an header, add one with NSRT (command:NSRT -addhead romname). Then look here (http://donut.parodius.com/) if a translation is available. If so, download the ips file and patch it with Lunar IPS (http://fusoya.panicus.org/lips/).
I know it takes some work, but it's well worth it. BTW, a lot of ROMs are also already in their translated state in the Goodsets.

Actually it's not needed to patch the ROM because of the auto patch feature in Zsnes and Snes9x. To take advantage of this function rename the .ips like the ROM's name or the zip if it's compressed, then place it on the same folder as the ROM or on the sram one you previously selected. Of course keep the ips extension, just make sure the name matches. For example:

Super Castlevania IV (U) [!].zip -> ROM file, if it's zipped
Super Castlevania IV (U) [!].ips -> ips patch (translation), on the same or on the sram folder

It works perfectly with Snes9x or Zsnes, but in the last one you need to enable the auto patch feature on the "Config" -> "Options" menu.

Also some translations need a valid header as alcotjez said, but a few won't work with it, so some times you'll need to remove the header if exist. The best way to know it it's reading each translation documentation.
