How to play RPGMaker Games in foreign languages with Machine Translation

This is in part a rewrite of a friend's tutorial, and in part a more streamlined version of it based on what steps I found important, to make it a bit easier to understand!

Please note that as with any Machine Translation, there will errors and issues. You will not get the same experience as someone fluent in the language, and you will not get the same experience as with playing a translation done by a real person.

If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask!

1. Download and extract the Locale Emulator

Linked here!

2. Download and set up your Textractor!

Textractor tutorial and using it with DeepL. The browser extension tools are broken, so you will need to use the built in textractor API (this has a limit, so be careful), or copy-paste the extracted text directly into your translation software of choice. Note that the textractor DOES NOT WORK on every game! It works well with RPGMaker, but I've had issues with visual novels. The password for extraction is visual_novel_lover

3. Ensure that you are downloading your game in the right region.

In your region/language (administrative) settings, change 'Language for non-unicode programs' to the language of your choice. This will ensure that the file names are extracted to the right language. MAKE SURE you download AND extract the game with the right settings! DO NOT CHECK THE 'use utf-8 encoding' BOX. This ONLY needs to be done during the initial download and extraction; once everything is downloaded+extracted+installed, you can set your region back to your previous settings, but test to ensure that the text will display properly after you return to your original language settings; there have been issues before. helpful tutorials are here and here!

4. Download your desired game and, if necessary, relevant RTP

The tools MUST be downloaded and extracted in the game's language. For japanese games, they are here. ensure that you are still in the right locale for non-unicode programs!

5. Run through the Locale Emulator

YES, this is a necessary step, EVEN IF YOUR ADMIN-REGION/LANGUAGE SETTINGS ARE CORRECT. Some games will not display the correct text unless you also RUN it in the right locale. You should be able to right click the game and see the Locale Emulator as an option like this. Run in Japanese (or whatever language is needed). You don't need to run as Admin if you don't want to, it should work either way.

6. Attach the Textractor and follow previously linked tutorials on how to set up the tools and the MTL.

Other notes:

There are also inbuilt Machine Translation Extensions, but those have a usage limit due to restrictions on the API. The Chrome/Firefox add-ons in the walkthrough in step 4 get around this by using the website itself, which doesn't have the same restrictions as the API does.

This will work best for RPGMaker games. For VNs, the textractor can have difficulties hooking in to extract the text, and may take some finagling.

I'm curious about Cell of Empireo.

What do you like about it and is there a way to play it in English myself?

there isn't an official English translation, but we've been given permission for a translation on YouTube here! (start from chapter 1). It goes through all 6 endings of the base game, plus bonus content and game overs, and the first 5 parts of the DLC so far! It is what i recommend for experiencing COE as it has an actual person behind the translation ^_^

There is a way to play with machine translation, but the tutorial is kinda long so i'll put it under the cut <3 machine translation is kinda scuffed though (it struggles with pronouns especially, and doesn't translate the inventory or anything outside of a text box due to the text extraction method ussed)

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS GAME: A LOT.

the character writing is REALLY good-- everyone has their own motivations and histories, and the foreshadowing is ACTUALLY insane. like i am not joking when there is a ton of foreshadowing in the FIRST CHAPTER.

the game has eiji shinano in it <3 my silly little guy <3

99% of the characters are adults! they have jobs and actual canonical birthdays and everything! our protagonist is a 28 year old detective (Haruki Atou), and he's clever and smart and it's so nice!! Atou is such a great protagonist, i love him a lot <3 he's very much his own character with his own identity!

are you a fan of mad scientists? are you a fan of FLIRTY mad scientists? play this game for Kanou Aogu <3

the worldbuilding is REALLY REALLY REALLY SOLID. like-- the magic has RULES to it and it makes SENSE and it makes it really fun to put the pieces together!!! you could deadass put together an ACTUAL TIMELINE of IN GAME EVENTS going back from when the game takes place (2015) to like. 1972 and EARLIER.

the sprites move!! during conversations and cutscenes they move and look at each other and strike silly poses or WINK (kanou <3) and it's great, there's also foreshadowing there too!

the butterfly effect for the different endings is ACTUALLY SO COOL! It's really fascinating to watch how certain choices change so so much, even ones that you wouldn't expect!

this game has a lot of references and influences from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy!

there is a headless rat. it's looking this way...

there are so many old man babygirls in this game <3

seodore. thats it thats the reason

gay as hell to [redacted for spoiler reasons]

OUGGHGHGHGHG the amount of times this game emotionally devastated me <3

i am on my second watchthrough and i am still finding details and clues i didn't notice the first time,, things hit DIFFERENT when i know the context holy shit. I'm taking my sister and a few friends through the eng tl videos and voice acting stuff, and the amount of times i had to go very very quiet in order to not react to things they dont know are relevant yet,,, was a LOT. it hits DIFFERENT i am a simp for foreshadowing and cool details

this game is. actually kind of hard? like i'm playing it with the machine translation at the moment and holy shit no wonder the translator is constantly running around at like 4 hp.

PLAYING WITH MACHINE TRANSLATION/ PLAYING COE IN JAPANESE. Personally i recommend going through the videos bc machine translation is scuffed and it is VERY VERY HARD to get the best ending, but i will put the tutorial here regardless! this tutorial comes from the Cell of Empireo ENG fans discord server <3 Note that it does not translate text outside of text boxes (so CGs, flashes, the intro cutscene will not translate), and will not translate the inventory or maps (which is why i recommend the videos first)

Step 1. If your computer can't display Japanese characters, use one of the links below. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/308823/japanese-characters.htmlhttps://www.digitalcitizen.life/changing-display-language-used-non-unicode-programs/

Step 2. Download Locale Emulator using the link below. https://xupefei.github.io/Locale-Emulator/

Step 3. Download Cell of Empireo and RPG Maker 2003.

Cell of Empireo download: https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/17735

RPG Maker 2003 download: https://tkool.jp/products/rtp.html

Step 4. Download and set up Textractor. Setting up Textractor: https://youtu.be/SLGSHZdEurM Using Textractor with DeepL: https://desonovel.blogspot.com/2021/01/tutorial-using-textractor-with-deepl.html

note: the firefox extension/devtools that pasted the text into deepl are currently broken. You can still paste the text in yourself, or if you have access to the deepl API, that works as well!

Step 5. Run 細胞神曲-CoE-.exe using Locale Emulator and run Textractor.exe. Attach Textractor to the RPG_RT.EXE process and you can play.

i think eventually we're all just gonna have to come to terms with the fact that it's impossible to tell a story with any degree of subtlety or nuance without risking a portion of the audience taking the "wrong message", and that's ok. art isn't meant to be strictly a teaching tool, and if you're goal is just to convince people or critique an idea, just write an essay or a polemic
