Hello fellow translators,

The Translator++ 8.10 updates have brought a lot of improvements to the tools you use every day. From smarter AI translation and background batch monitoring to a faster grid and better project management, the goal has been to make it easier to stay focused on translating your games.

Here are the highlights from 8.10.7 through 8.10.29!

Translator++ 8.10.28 is available to all patrons. You can get it from the Translator++ download post. The grid improvements described below are from 8.10.29.

Smarter, safer AI translation

AI translation has received one of its biggest improvements yet. You can now choose from 24 profiles for different game engines and types of text, helping the translator understand what it is working with. You can also preview and edit rules that protect special game codes during translation.

Translator++ now checks AI replies more carefully before putting them in your project. If a reply is incomplete, changes the number of lines, or damages a game code, it can be rejected and corrected instead of silently ending up in your translation. Speaker names and dialogue context are handled more reliably too.

For those who want more help managing their setup, the optional Game Translation Profiles Pro add-on builds on your existing AI translator. It can select a game profile automatically, offer quality, balanced, and fast modes, and translate files in parallel. You can also choose to start an initial translation when creating a new project. Your existing provider and API key remain in use.

Keep an eye on batch translations in the background

Large AI batch jobs can take time, so the Batch Monitor can now keep watching them in the background, even after you close the main Translator++ window. Turn it on in the Batch Monitor settings to receive completion alerts and find notifications in the inbox later.

There are also new ways to recover from incomplete results. Optional correction batches retry unsuccessful items, and importing results is more careful with existing translations and rows that have changed since the job was submitted.

A faster, more comfortable translation grid

The translation grid has received substantial performance work, especially for large amounts of text. Scrolling is smoother, the first column stays aligned with its rows, and cell markers update more reliably as you work.

You can also adjust the grid font size with Ctrl + mouse wheel, making it easier to read your project comfortably.

The updated grid makes larger projects more comfortable to navigate and read.

Find the lines you want to work on

The Quick filter above the grid helps you narrow the current file down to relevant rows. Type a word or phrase to search across the text and translation columns; matching ignores capitalization. You can enter several words to find rows that contain all of them.

For more focused work, click the filter icon beside Quick filter to open the grid’s advanced filter. Choose one or more character names to concentrate on their dialogue, or select row tags to bring up lines you have marked for review. You can combine a text search, character names, and tags—for example, to find tagged lines containing a particular word spoken by a specific character. Select Clear all filters in the menu when you want to see every row again.

Filter the current grid by character name, row tags, or both.

More freedom to work with projects

Opening another project now gives you a choice: replace the current project or open the new one in a separate window. When you switch or close projects, clearer Save, Discard, and Cancel choices help protect unsaved work.

The file list can also hide completed items or files that are already 100% translated. That makes it easier to concentrate on the parts of a project that still need attention.

Use the custom filter in the Objects panel to focus on unfinished files.

Help when you need it

Wondering what a button or setting does? Hover over many controls to see richer help cards with descriptions, tips, shortcuts, and, where available, illustrations or documentation links. The new guidance covers everyday features such as project files, translation columns, cell markers, and editor options.

Your account status is easier to find too: you can see your login status, avatar, level, and points from the application.

Improvements for more games and workflows

Unity: Large games are handled with better memory management, and you can apply revised translations again more reliably without restarting. Older Unity projects may be asked to use Update Project from Source once before export or injection.

Godot: More games can be detected and opened, including some with game data embedded in the executable. Dialogic dialogue and choices can now be extracted for translation, with fixes for rebuilding and running supported games.

Valentuga: A new parser adds support for the Valentuga (ヴァーレントゥーガ) engine.

RPG Maker 2000/2003: Export now preserves the game’s original encoding by default, helping keep Japanese resource filenames working. UTF-8 remains an option for languages that need it, with guidance about when EasyRPG Player is required.

Image Translator: Pan with the middle mouse button, zoom with the mouse wheel, and see the preview update immediately when you edit the current text.

Patch and spreadsheet workflows: RPG Maker Trans patches can be imported and exported without a separate companion application, and large imports stay more responsive. Spreadsheet handling has also been improved.

Many supported workflows now run without PHP by default, making setup simpler. If you rely on an older workflow, the temporary Use legacy PHP option remains available; some advanced spreadsheet features and older RPG Maker MV/MZ parser projects still need it.

There are many smaller fixes throughout 8.10 as well, including more reliable search tools, translation memory, and project switching. I hope these changes make your next translation project a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.

Thank you for supporting Translator++ and making this work possible!

Happy translating,
