XUnity.AutoTranslator  by bbepis

This project provides an advanced auto-translator for Unity-based games, enabling both automated and manual text translation. It's designed for gamers and modders seeking to localize games or mods that lack official language support. The plugin integrates with various mod loaders and offers extensive configuration for translation services, text handling, and UI adjustments.

How It Works

The plugin hooks into Unity's text rendering pipeline to intercept and translate text elements. It supports multiple text frameworks (UGUI, NGUI, TextMeshPro, etc.) and offers a wide array of translation services, including popular online providers like Google Translate, Bing, and DeepL, as well as options for API-key based services. Advanced features include text splitting, whitespace handling, UI resizing, font overriding, and a resource redirector for modifying game assets.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Download the appropriate release zip (e.g., XUnity.AutoTranslator-BepInEx-{VERSION}.zip) and extract its contents into the game's root directory, following the specific instructions for your chosen mod loader (BepInEx, MelonLoader, IPA, UnityInjector, or standalone ReiPatcher).
• Requirements: A Unity-based game. Specific mod loader installations may have their own prerequisites.
• Configuration: Edit the config.ini file generated after the first game launch to select translation services, languages, and other behavior settings.
• Documentation: https://github.com/bbepis/XUnity.AutoTranslator/blob/master/README.md
