Localization Engine

Translate the story. Preserve the game.

Translate RPG Maker MV and MZ games while preserving their structure. Extract text the player sees, build a glossary, generate and review drafts, then assemble a separate playable copy. The original game stays intact.

Find the text and preserve its context

Extract text with the information needed to translate it safely.

  • Extract dialogue and database text with source locations.
  • Separate supported text from plugin content that needs closer review.
  • Preserve control codes and scene context with each translation.

Draft, review and refine

Choose a manual or AI-assisted workflow, with results available for review.

  • Use your glossary, import translations or connect an AI provider.
  • Propose recurring terms, draft supported text and check corrections against the source.
  • Run a limited number of repair passes and review uncertain results.

Build a copy you can inspect

Check the source and inspect the result before considering a translation complete.

  • Check that source text and control codes have not changed.
  • Build a separate playable copy with a record of the applied changes.
  • Try clearly marked partial previews and compare earlier drafts and outputs.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT

Automation with an audit trail.

Localization Engine is a command-line tool in development for supported RPG Maker MV/MZ data. Images, text assembled during play and unfamiliar plugins need additional handling. Automated review can help identify problems, but a translation still needs human judgement and a full gameplay check.
