Translator++ Monthly Update — Image Translation, Free OpenAI Support, and Unreal Engine Projects

Hello fellow translators,

This month, from 8.8.5 to 8.8.24, Translator++ gained a few big capabilities—and I will keep this one short.

Image translation is here

The new ImageTranslator add-on brings image text into the Translator++ workflow. It uses OCR to detect text in images, lets you translate it alongside the rest of your project, and includes image-editing tools to place the translation back into the image.

That means UI, signs, tutorials, and other text baked into game images no longer need to live in a completely separate workflow.

There is now a new Image tab in the left pane, and you can use the normal search function to find text inside your images. This makes it much easier to locate the exact image text you want to work on.

Image tab in image editing mode

Texts inside an image also available in grid mode

Image translation is enabled by default and will be free and available out of the box. I also plan to gradually add parser support, so image material can be brought into a translation project automatically instead of being handled separately.

This image translation is using OCR Snipping Tool, a free, fast, offline, and unlimited way to extract text using the Windows Snipping Tool. It is ideal for quickly grabbing text from a game window or image while you work.

The OpenAI translator is now free

The OpenAI-compatible translator add-on is now free and included with Translator++.

You can use it with OpenAI-compatible services without a separate paid add-on. It also has configurable reasoning effort for supported models, so you can choose how much thinking a difficult translation deserves.

The same reasoning controls are now available for the OpenAI Proofreader, Gemini, and supported Batch API models.

Better batch translation and proofreading

OpenRouter is now supported by the Batch LLM workflow, giving you many more model choices and access to its lower-cost batch pricing where available.

Batch Proofread also received a major update. You can select the source, translation, and result columns; preserve existing results when needed; and include useful context such as actor names, Actor Reference data, and extra prompts.

In short: it is now much easier to keep your first translation, run a safe proofreading pass, and compare the result before applying it.

Unreal Engine support begins

UnrealParser 0.1 can now create translation projects for Unreal Engine games.

This is an early release, so feedback from anyone who tries it on a real game would be especially valuable. Unreal games can organize their content very differently, and your reports will help make this support stronger.

Important fixes

• Fixed a DeepSeek-related TransChatGPT issue.

• Fixed a WolfTL issue that could make an injected game unplayable.

• Fixed false missing-file messages in some RPG Maker MV/MZ export and injection logs.

• Fixed Proofreader initialization and several Batch Proofread handling issues.

You can update to Translator++ 8.8.24 through auto-update or download the update package.

Thank you for supporting Translator++. If you try ImageTranslator or UnrealParser, I would love to hear how it goes.

Happy translating,
