Translator++ Ver. 2.1.1

NWJS has been upgraded

NWJS is upgraded to the most recent version, ver 0.43 (but strangely the NWJS signature shows 0.42.6)

node version js: 13.1.0

Chromium: 78.0.3904.108

UI & UX has been upgraded.

The left panel in addition to the changeable width, can also be fully collapsible. This gives more work space for the grid.

We can also open supported formats directly from Windows Explorer or drag & drop into the Translator ++ application

Translator ++ will also remember the pane arrangement, window size and state of “toggle whitespace” & “wordwrap” each time you start the application.

As mentioned in the previous post, I have overhauled the process of making a new project.

The new “Create new Project” dialog box.

This menu demonstrate that starting from version 2.1.1 Translator ++ is not only a tool to translate RPG Maker & Wolf RPG Games, but is a tool to help the translation process in general.

in the future there will be more options to be added to the new project creation options.

I deliberately put some game engines that will be done in the future on this menu as placeholders. This menu will always remind you and me that Translator ++ will continue to grow, and that Translator++ still needs your support.

Capability to create a project from spreadsheet has been added

The following is a list of supported formats:

taken directly from https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/

This is a wildcard format for translating your game.

You have two choices when starting a spreadsheet project:

Start a new project. Creating a new spreadsheet projects.

The first option is “The first columns are transcribed text, the rest of the column are predefined translations”

The first columns are transcribed text, the rest of the column are predefined translations

The first choice will be to create a grid with cell arrangements like the original spreadsheet.

And the second option is “All columns are translatable text”

All columns are translatable text

The second option will grab all cell’s translatable content and place them in the key cell (the first column on the far left)

I am sure that having these two choices will make the translation process much easier.

I also designed a new logo
