How it works

Four steps from a game folder to playing it in your language — and every translation in the library is there for the next player. The library only ever holds translations, never games.

1. Find your game — or just open it
Search the catalogue to see what is translated. You can also skip this: the translator recognises a game by its text, so opening your copy is enough.
2. Open the folder in the translator
Choose the game’s folder (or drag it in). The translator reads the game’s text on your computer — nothing is uploaded.
3. Apply a translation
If the library has your game, a banner offers every translation that fits, with how much of your version each one covers. Apply fills only empty lines and saves your table first, so it never destroys work.
4. Translate what is left, then play
Lines the library does not have — a newer version’s additions — translate live. Inject writes the translation into the game, and you play it as usual.

Questions

Which games work?: Today, games made with RPG Maker MZ, RPG Maker MV, RPG Maker VX Ace, RPG Maker VX, RPG Maker XP — the engines the translator can read. It is built so other engines slot in behind the same screens; more are planned.
Can I share a translation I made?: Soon. The translator will offer to share a finished translation with the library; it goes through the same checks as every other translation before anyone else gets it.
Which browsers?: Chrome or Edge on a desktop. The translator reads and writes the game folder with the File System Access API, which Firefox and Safari do not have.
Is my game uploaded?: No. The game is read on your computer. To look a game up, the translator sends hashes of some of its lines — fingerprints, never the text itself.
Can I undo it?: Yes. Every apply is saved as a snapshot you can go back to, and Restore puts the game’s original files back.
My version is newer than the one in the library.: That is fine: translations are matched line by line, so every line the versions share fills in, and only the new lines need translating.
