Ok boys and girls, I have a Christmas present for you in the form of knowledge. If you're like me who can't read Japanese, and use translation software to play Japanese games, I've found the single best solution that costs about 10 - 25 bucks a month (depends on how much you use).
It's DeepL. For 1 year now I've known about it, and I usually use it with the client that forces you to Ctrl+C twice to get the line. I usually used it to get lines I can't understand with the free Bing / Google shit in Textractor.

But, I spent maybe around 10 minutes reading about it today, and saw there exists a DeepL integration within the latest releases of Textractor. So here are the steps for you to get DeepL working on Textractor.
1. Download latest release
2. Click Extensions
3. Drag and drop the DeepL Translate.xdll into the box that opened up.
4. Select the existing Bing Translate, and hit Delete
5. A new window should pop up, with some configuration settings. In theory you can start using DeepL now, but you'll get rate limited and can't use it for more than a few minutes.
6. Go to DeepL website.

7. Sign up for the DEVELOPER account. That's the third tab.
8. Pay the initial 5 dollars, provide credit card info, etc
9. Go to your account

10. Copy the API key, paste it into the Textractor window that reads "DeepL Translate"
11. You're now using the best translation software in the world for very little money.
Their pricing model is pretty fair, about 25 dollars per 1 million characters. Obviously, don't share your key. You will probably not hit the 1 million mark in a month, it's fairly cheap for what is the BEST translation that's close to perfect Japanese comprehension. Cheers.
