About This Software

Forge your game's text into any language.

Pure offline, by-hand mode — the forge gives you:

• Project Library Manager: see real-time project progress, manage your asset libraries (project + global), and run batch operations.
  
• Translation Editor: source and translation side by side, context always in view, key terms and code auto-highlighted and protected so they don't get broken by accident. Live glossary and translation-memory match hints. Switch anytime between raw view (shows the code) and card view (renders the line breaks). Built-in find & replace, plus auto-wrap (basic, based on source length).
  
• Translation Memory: translated lines are saved automatically, scored by source, with usage counts — click to jump back to where it came from in the editor. Add entries by hand, or import external memory.
  
• Term Workbench: global and project libraries side by side, push or pull with one click. Supports multiple translations per term, auto-detects conflicts, and digs term candidates out of the source by word frequency.
  
• Character System: tag each line with its speaker, with tone and pronoun references.
  
• Placeholder protection / regex code protection: keeps the variables and code in your game text from getting broken by accident.
  
• Scan Engine: automatically checks placeholder and term integrity, keeping game-breaking errors out before you export.

Connect AI, and on top of everything above, your translating gets a boost.

• AI translation & AI review (early): glossary, characters, and protection rules are injected automatically — no mindless literal translation.
  
• Two model tiers: economy and premium — use different model versions depending on content difficulty (you decide which; automatic switching isn't supported yet) to cut costs.
  
• Batch translation: automatically skips already-translated / locked lines, and on rate limits it backs off and retries.
  
• Goblin AI Assistant: always aware of your project progress; ask it all kinds of translation questions — including how to use the software and what a given feature does. You can even just chat with it (not recommended — it costs money), and it can summarize and jot down notes, helping users with a short working memory keep track of what they've done. It can be given its own model, and can run on a local model to save costs.
  
• Cost monitoring (estimated): it estimates before a batch, tallies spend in real time (you enter the AI's pricing yourself), and stops automatically at the limit you set. (Note: this is an estimate, so it may differ from the real price — check your model's own dashboard now and then.)

Import & export: same structure in, same structure out

• All protected code and placeholders are output unchanged.
  
• However many columns you import, that's how many you export.
  
• In short: the structure you put in is the structure you get back — only the text has been translated.

In Early Access, beyond the above, coming soon:

• Team merge (splitting already available, with SHA256): for smoother multi-person collaboration, especially spotting and unifying translation conflicts. ~50% done.
  
• Polishing, review (advanced), and fixing: polish by hand, or use AI for unified passes. ~80% done.
  
• Furigana (Ruby) handling for Japanese (experimental): mainly to handle Japanese phonetic annotation; for other languages it can be used for puns — "written A, read B." ~90% done, still needs testing.

On the roadmap, still to come:

• Visual QA (preview layout/overflow in a mock dialogue box): tune text length and line breaks before importing into the game, and preview whether your chosen font can actually display the language's characters — instead of a row of □□ (a.k.a. missing glyphs / tofu).
  
• Smart auto-wrap (advanced): break lines based on the source's phrasing and dialogue or the text window, with AI assistance, so the break points match each language's conventions.
  
• Goblin evolution (memory & automation): let the goblin assistant remember your habits and preferences — and if you'd rather it didn't, you can switch it off — plus more automation driven by user feedback.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The store page was originally written in Chinese. All other language versions, including English, were translated using AI (the same engine the product itself uses), then reviewed by a human before publishing. No other store assets are AI-generated.
