v0.31.a
update:16-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy
Add tts support for translation.
If enable_translation and display_translation is true ,tts will play translated texts rather than originals.

v0.32.a
update:18-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy ,transconfig.rpy
Add freellm translate from github project for Ren'py 8.
NO API KEY NEEDED.

You must be registered to see the links

Currently only one provider and two models(random choice).

oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com
'Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct-Turbo' and "gpt-4.1-mini"

The mod keeps getting better and better. The translation from freellm isn't as fast as Google, but the quality makes it worth it.

v0.33.a
update:19-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy
Add freellm translate support for Ren'py 7.
Figured out the real model in the response of oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com ,
it's gemini 2.0 flash in fact.
Another provider is oi-vscode-server-0501.onrender.com
it's model is always x-ai/grok-code-fast-1.

Now freellm has two providers and two models,
still random choice,
the time interval could be set as low as 0.4 seconds without 502 errors in my test.
Your minimum time interval depends on your own network environment.
Conduct your own tests, but don't set it too low, such as below 0.2,
as this may trigger security mechanisms that
could result in your IP being blocked by the providers.

v0.34.a
update:22-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy transconfig.rpy
The update changes `realtimetrans.rpy` and `transconfig.rpy` from tightly coupled to loosely coupled.
If you encounter quote error (because the game's preferences screen is missing, and in-game settings depend on it), simply delete the `transconfig.rpy`.
This will render in-game settings ineffective;
you can configure them using this version of `realtimetrans.rpy`.

For your changes to take effect, note that SCREEN_CONFIG should be set to False.
And if you need to delete the transconfig.rpy, don't forget to delete transconfig.rpyc as well.

v0.35.a
update:25-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy
Glossary replacement feature has been added.
Term replacement occurs after the text is converted to HTML.
There are two ways to use the glossary dic:
direct replacement, which allows the translation engine to read the replaced text,
and protected replacement, where the replaced content should be manually protected.
Glossary file should be named as glossary.json.
SET persistent.glossary_enabled to True.
eg.
{
"Auto": "Automatisch",
"Auto-Forward Time": "Autom. weiter",
"skip": "<input type='Vorspulen'/>"
}

The protected replacement will not work in bing translate.
As Bing tranlate processes html tag in a different way.
Google and freellm works well.

v0.36.a

updated file:realtimetrans.rpy
translation_cache.json is now saved every 30 seconds,
along with other minor performance improvements,
which are expected to slightly reduce translation display time.

problem with realtimetrans.rpy v0.36.a

 

[trans1]

I have the same error. Simply insert the following line

prescan_texts=list(PRESCAN_TEXTS)

before the line with the error.

 

[NaveenKrishnanC]

I have the same error. Simply insert the following line

prescan_texts=list(PRESCAN_TEXTS)

before the line with the error.

I can not repeat the error myself in the same game.
Though i do find the reason.
I forget to pre-define prescan_texts,
and in v0.36.a,prescan_texts is defined until prescan is finished,
while translation is using prescan_texts already.
I do not think

prescan_texts=list(PRESCAN_TEXTS)

is a good solution,
as prescan_texts itself is to prevent list(PRESCAN_TEXTS) repeating.

 

[NaveenKrishnanC]

problem with realtimetrans.rpy v0.36.a

v0.36.b
update:28-11-2025
updated file:realtimetrans.rpy
Fix the problem by pre-define prescan_texts.

prescan_texts=[]

But i can not repeat the peoblem myself in the same game,
so if the problem remains,i will try to fix it again.

 

[trans1]

Seems to be OK, the error is gone for me.

 

[NaveenKrishnanC]

One of my bros said his performance issues haven't been resolved, especially on Android;
it's still very laggy and crashes at times.
Have you experienced something similar?
In my own testing,
I noticed that memory usage seems to increase uncontrollably
as the amount of text that needs to be redrawn accumulates.

 

[trans1]

I don't have any performance issues or crashes.
What I do occasionally encounter is that some dialogues are not translated.

In the log:
Translation disabled or no texts provided.

After restarting, it will work again.

Has this problem always existed,
or did it only appear in v0.36?

 

[trans1]

I just tested this with v0.34.a and there is also an error where a dialog is not translated. However, this has nothing to do with the message in the log, which appears even when everything is OK.
