Tool Ren'Py RenLocalizer - Multi-Engine Translation Tool for Ren'Py Games

[giqui]

New Update Released! I noticed that the .exe file doesn't run directly on some systems because they don't have Python. Since no one reported an error about this, I hadn't noticed it until a friend of mine couldn't get it to work. This version focuses more on this issue. You can read the detailed change log in the spoiler.

I believe that an improvement in overall processing would be very beneficial for this tool. The slowness in translating a game is still the main obstacle, even with the files already extracted.

Thank you very much for your great dedication to this project

Hello, thank you for your response. I am aware of this issue. Unfortunately, my lack of experience in the field of software limits me, and even though artificial intelligence is very advanced, it can be insufficient in some areas. I will publish an update related to this situation, most likely tomorrow. In version 2.1.0, I'm trying to solve the slowness issue in this translation by using multiple endpoints, i.e., multiple Google services. On paper, there should be a 4x speed difference, but I haven't had the chance to test it yet. Also, if you have any further suggestions for improving the program, I'd be happy to hear them.

The 2.1.0 version, currently in the testing phase, will be an update focused on much faster translation via Google Translator (Web). In addition, I need to make some improvements to the filter system. In my test, a 12,000-word translation was completed in about 2 minutes. This was a performance far exceeding our expectations. However, an issue in the filter system is causing the game to crash. I hope to find a much better solution within the filter system, and I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

I will share the 2.1.0 version once it's ready. My goal is to optimize my program as much as possible and make it accessible to more people.

The update I posted is now available. If you encounter any errors, such as the game crashing, please send me the log files.

Hi, there are two things regarding this translator. The first is the colors of the settings descriptions, practically nothing is visible.


and secondly, a translation error...

P.S. The game is - SpaceJourneyX-230_023-pc

Hello, thank you for getting back to me. I looked into the issue and made some updates to the filter system. Would you mind testing this version? Also, regarding the theme issue, it doesn't appear that way to me, but I made some updates about that as well.

the mistakes continue...

P.S. And if I change this line in the translation, it gives me this error...

Thank you for your feedback. As I understand it, there was an output format issue due to UTF-8 not being fully compatible with Russian. To prevent this, I made some updates and also changed the encoding to UTF-8 BOM. I hope these changes resolve your issue.

I've never had any problems with UTF-8 encoding; on the contrary, I always use it when translating into Russian...

Thank you for your reply. As I mentioned before, I am a beginner developer and I’m building this program with the help of AI. Some of the things I share are actually what the AI tells me, so in a way I’m just passing along its words. I originally used UTF-8 assuming it would work fine for all languages; however, the AI looked at your error and suggested that it might be a format issue, so I proceeded based on that.

The AI also noted that the 0xbb byte usually comes from Windows-1251 (Cyrillic) or CP1252 encoding. In other words, it assumed UTF-8 wasn’t working properly and tried to fix it accordingly. I relied on that and passed the information to you.

If I gave you incorrect information, I apologize; as I said, I only conveyed what the AI explained to me. Thank you again for your feedback. I will continue testing the program on more games and work on improving the output format and filter system. Because of this, the next update may take some time. Also, if you have any suggestions for improving the filter and format system, I’d be glad to hear them. The filter system in particular has been challenging: when I make it aggressive, it translates things that shouldn’t be translated; when I reduce its aggressiveness, it fails to translate things that should be translated. Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling with this filter and output format issue ever since I released the first version of the program. :/

the game launches, but only in Old/New mode. In Simple mode, it throws an error and doesn't translate everything.

Yes, unfortunately the Simple mode doesn’t work properly in every game. That’s actually the reason why I added two different output formats — so if one fails, the other might still work. As for the issue of not translating everything, you are right. As I mentioned above, this is exactly the problem I’ve been struggling with: I can’t quite tune the filter system properly. When I try to balance it, either it becomes too aggressive and translates things it shouldn’t, or too weak and misses things it should translate. That’s what I meant when I said I’ve been having a lot of trouble with it.
