Translator++
Added 2018-11-01 07:41:15 +0000 UTC
One day, I encountered a good doujin game at certain site. It has an exceptionally good user review, beautiful artwork along with captivating game play… on top of that, this game is distributed for free. But, too bad … this game is in Japanese, while I … just like the rest of 7 billion earth population … don’t speak Japanese.
So, after spending hours of agonizing research on aggregate tool, automatic translation tool etc… I came up with two conclusion. First, machine translations are suck when used as-is! Especially on handling inconsistent languages like Japanese. Sometimes with my limited knowledge of Japanese, the untranslated text are more understandable than the one translated using machine. Second, creating manual translations are painfully vexing without appropriate tools…. And unfortunately there are no such tool.
And finally I decided to create my own tool. A tool to combine the handiness of machine translation while accommodating manual translation.
Here is the result of what Translator++ can do in about 3 minutes of work :
Not much? Well, the entire opening sequence of this game is translated, along with some manual translation.
Features:
GUI Editor
Translator++ is pretty much Inspired by Atlas translation tool. By using grid view, we can have several translation and reference for one context. The best translation (the rightmost filled column for each row) will be used by the engine when deploying translation, while the older version of translation still retained.
Here is some feature from Translator++ :
Find and replace makes everything easier.
Your translation progress are visually tracked :
Automatic translation in the box
Automation
Who doesn’t like automation? If possible, we like to have the entire translation process done automatically…. by single click. Unfortunately, that’s hardly unrealistic for producing a quality translation … at least for now.
But we are trying our best to help you out from manual labor.
Automatic translation
Translator++ equipped with tool to translate all in-game text using some of the most famous translation tool available.
This feature is mainly served as a reference to produce better manual translation. But yes, if you don’t care about translation quality … you have an option to translate everything using online or offline translation services just by a couple of click. -_^
Post-translation automation
You can trim your translation result to fit the game message box maximum length.
And … much more...
Translator++ is currently can handle RPG Maker XP, VX, VX Ace, MV and Wolf RPG Editor engine.
Also, I’m planning to work on some major visual novel engine (i/e Renpy) compatibility in the near future. Also, by the time I write this article... Translator++ is currently only support Japanese to English translation. More language support will be added soon.
I just started this project last month. Translator++ is currently in early development stage. It is pretty much unfinished. So, expect some bug here and there… But feel free to contact me if you find any.
Benefit for Patrons

2019-08-02 04:14:30 +0000 UTCI know this is /really/ old, but I just wanted to say I spent forever trying to figure out the problem today, messing with permissions ect. Come to find out robocopy didn't like japanese characters in names. Renaming my folder to standard characters fixed my issue. (Despite having japanese language pack + Non-unicode set to JP)

2019-06-21 18:41:53 +0000 UTCDoes the program also translate into "rpg 2000" based games?
2019-05-13 03:45:18 +0000 UTCI wanted to ask you how to switch languages to automatically translate input and output channels PS: I wanted to apologize for broken English, because I do not understand it and used machine translation
2019-04-06 11:15:56 +0000 UTCI come using the wolf and mv but I would like to translate the games of xp and vx, maybe I'm clumsy but I do not know how to do it since I do it like with wolf or mv and it does not work or it does not work out ... you could help me ? you do not have a tutorial or so? thanks :3
2019-03-25 18:11:16 +0000 UTCHello Serhat, Thank you for reporting this issue. Actually, It's pretty hard to pin point the problem just based on this information. Just to make sure that there is no compatibility issues, have you tried starting new project using other games with the same engine? Was it worked? What engine does your game use?

2018-12-24 16:21:25 +0000 UTCHello there, the moment I saw your program I was really happy because I could play the Japanese versions of RPG games without any trouble anymore, and while playing, make a translation of it to help other people play it easily. But I got a problem. When I click new project, and select the game, your program starts doing what it's supposed to do, like in your youtube videos. But after the 'DONE!' part comes, it stops there. No matter how long I wait, it stays the same, re-opening already processed files doesn't work, restarting and any kind of thing I can do on my own does't work. Any help for this? I already posted 2 comments on your youtube channel for help, sorry for the clutter but I didn't know if it was a reliable way of communicating.

But, the good news is, Translator++ is using NWJS. So It should be easy to migrate to windows 32 bit. You can just download Windows 32 bit version of NWJS (<a href="https://nwjs.io/)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://nwjs.io/),</a> then copy www, 3rdParty, data, php, ruby, node_modules folder along with package.json & package-lock.json to the 32 bit verion of NWJS. I think it will be OK. Or you can wait a bit, because I have a plan to release the 32 bit version in the near future. ;)
