The use of a single character … is intentional. I see more advantages.
On the other hand, word-warp is something secondary for me. However, if I see that it takes me little time, I usually apply it. In this case it was not clear.
Scripting-tools? BeyondCompare, Powergrep and Notepad++ or by code directly.
Ah I see! Well it will require learning what the game engine uses for linebreaks so I can see what you mean when dealing with an unknown engine/script.
But if it's possible, I'd say it's a good thing to polish your script so as nobody is left confused or find it hard to read heh!
Thanks for replying! Nice tools that you use, including interacting with the code directly!
For this game, those tools work best with plain text alright!
Other games would require specialized tools/code, hm hm!
So the floating single-char ... is intentional and you see more advantages with it?
Interesting...but I will say I'm a bit curious why you see more advantages with it, is it to fit more characters in a line or something?
I've been translating many games and haven't encountered a single issue when using non-single char ... in lines.
Hmm...unless the games don't support half-width fonts, I can see why you find that advantageous I guess.
That or it has to do with reducing the amount of time translating a game and not dealing with potential issues I guess.
I do know a github tool that can force an font and half-width text into games that don't support it natively!
I haven't tested the tool out though but I plan on using it on an old "cute and funny" eroge game from 2004,

Oh and these are the github tools I'm referring to:

- This one is archived but has a function that works on some game engines to enable half-width chars/fonts, not sure how it works.

- This is the tool I plan on testing one day in the future that apparently can, when configured correct with a json config and using a DLL for the game to proxy load said json/code, can load fonts/half-width text!
