Awesome game! 

It runs so fast and smoothly that one may say that there is nothing running at all! (i could not find the .exe file)

Hi Godnoken, i have a question about using Ollama as another alternative for Local translation.  

i was wondering if it would be possible to use one of the many LLM models in Ollama to improve the quality of translation output?

I have been using Win 11 for all of my testing, its been working great!

Hi Godnoken, I'm sorry for the somewhat bad Bug-Report. it explains it some stuff half assed.

2.  i have installed it multiple times (and also deleted it multiple times as well), but I think it may be there from previous installations.

5. I haven't tested it with other translation options, but i doubt it will matter. some of these fonts are big, curvy or to close to the contrast of the background.  

I would have posted a picture but ITS A CHORE! From what i have done and tested you cant put in multiple pictures at once and if its in the wrong place you cant move it without deleting it and uploading it again INDUVIDALY. 

Its a huge annoyance of mine. 

8. 

a) no, I hold it in until i click outside the window, then i can go back to the game and it'll look like I'm holding it in.

b) I tried to replicate it again for a couple of minutes but did not manage to get it to work. 

Have a good day!

GameTranslate_0.1.53 and 0.2.0 Bug testing                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         24.2.25

Bugs & Issues:

1. Cursor Movement Issue on Hovering Over (X) or Translation Bubble

• When trying to click the (X) on the translation bubble, the cursor moves unpredictably, especially when the bubble is small.
• Video:

2. Installation Directory & Shortcut Location Issue

• Despite selecting D:\ as the installation directory, GameTranslate still creates a folder and shortcut in C:\.
• Crash dump folder is also created in C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\GameTranslate\crashdump.
• Question: Is this a bug or an intended feature?

3. False Positive Detection 

• Bitdefender flagged GameTranslate.exe as malware (Atc4.Detection) after launching Omori through GameTranslate.
• Deleting the software through the installer leaves GameTranslate.exe behind, requiring elevated permissions to remove.
• Update (25.2.25): After a Windows update, the file was gone.

4. Refresh Button Becomes Unclickable

• Steps to replicate:
  1. Click the Configuration tab.
  2. Go back to Games and click Refresh.
  3. The Refresh button becomes unclickable.
• Status: Known issue, confirmed.

5. Translation Struggles with Certain Fonts

• Words like Collection, Shop, Redeem, Unlock Here are either incorrectly translated or not translated at all.
• Game: Fallout Shelter
• Language: English → Polish
• Translation Engine: Internal

6. Crashes When Quitting via ALT+F4

• GameTranslate sometimes crashes when force-closed using ALT+F4.

7. Translation Issues with Bright/Dark Text on Similar Backgrounds

• The translator struggles with text visibility in high-brightness scenes.
• When translated, text location and format are sometimes altered.
• Video:  

8. Out-of-Bounds Glitches

• Screen Flickering Issue (May cause discomfort for eye-sensitive users)
  • If you move the cursor out of the screen while translating and return, the game may start flickering.
  • Fix: Press the translation keybind again.
  • Video: 
• FastKey Malfunction
  • Clicking outside of the game while using translation makes the translation bubble cover the entire game.
  • Fix: Press FastKey again.
• Hotkeys Getting Stuck
  • After triggering the out-of-bounds glitch, the Space key appears stuck.
  • Pressing Left Shift triggers the translation bubble unintentionally.
  • Fix: Press any translation key to reset.

  1. Hold FastKey.
  2. Press AutomaticWindowKey twice.
  3. Press FastKey again.

• Video:

10. Game Launch Issues via GameTranslate

• Launching some games from GameTranslate prevents them from launching from their original launcher (e.g., Steam).
• Affected Games: Rounds, Terraria.
• Possible Fixes: Restarting Steam, GameTranslate, or PC.
• Theory: Issue might be related to file synchronization, especially when offline.

11. Multiple Instances of GameTranslate Running

• Closing GameTranslate does not fully exit the program.
• Opening it again starts a separate instance instead of focusing on the already running one.

12. Duplicate Game Instances

• Example: Rounds can be opened twice when launched through GameTranslate first and then through Steam.
• Issue does not occur if launched in reverse order.

13. Delayed Game Launch via GameTranslate

• A game took several minutes to start despite appearing inactive.
• Status: Unable to replicate the issue consistently.

Feature Requests & Recommendations:

1. Improved Game Selector

• GameTranslate detects all .exe files, leading to cluttered game lists.
• Suggested Improvements:
  • Implement folder hierarchy to group related .exe files under the main game executable.
  • Add tabs like Favorites and Recently Played for better organization.

2. Key Bind Customization & Warnings

• Some keybinds cause unexpected behavior (e.g., pressing F7 crashes the game).
• Suggestion:
  • Add a disclaimer: "Key binds may interfere with game functions (e.g., skipping cutscenes, hiding UI, saving, pausing, closing the game). Please adjust key binds accordingly."
  • Allow custom keybind presets for each game.
  • Display a pop-up showing default keybinds and their functions.

GameTranslate_0.1.53 Bug Report

23.2.25

Summary

GameTranslate has multiple issues, including incorrect translations, font compatibility problems, antivirus flagging, instability, and inconsistent performance.

Bugs & Problems

1. Translation Issues

Custom Fonts & Translation Accuracy

• Issue: Some games use custom fonts, making it difficult for GameTranslate to read and translate text.
• Example: The internal translation is often completely wrong or of low quality. It struggles particularly with text in unique/custom fonts.
• Tested Case: English → Polish translation using DeepL Free generally works well, though some minor translation errors exist.

Japanese → English Translation (23.2.25)

• Issue: Both the internal and DeepL Free translations for Japanese to English are often incorrect and unhelpful.
• Observation: Occasionally, a good translation appears, but most of the time, the output is vague and barely comprehensible.

Examples:

2. Bitdefender Flagging GameTranslate_x64.dll or Gen:Variant.Johnnie as a Threat

• Issue: Bitdefender mistakenly flags GameTranslate_x64.dll as malware (False Positive).

**Do this before launching the program**

• Fix:
  1. Open Bitdefender → Protection → Antivirus → Settings → Manage exceptions.
  2. Add an exception for the installation directory (e.g., D:\example or C:\example).
• Additional Issue: Bitdefender quarantining the DLL may cause the "Verify that you have access to that directory" error.

• Fix: Delete the GameTranslate installer and its folder, create a new folder, and reinstall inside it.

3. Inconsistent Game Launching & Stability Issues

• Issue: Sometimes GameTranslate launches a game, sometimes it doesn’t.
• Issue: GameTranslate sometimes crashes when quitting (especially with Alt+F4).

4. Specific Bugs

Bug_1: "Searching for Text" Mode Stuck (Offline, DeepL Free)

• Issue: While playing Deltarune (though likely not game-specific), using the hotkey (Left Shift + Space) to translate text causes GameTranslate to get stuck in "searching for text" mode, preventing further translations.
• Fix: Ensure an internet connection for DeepL Free, as it requires online access.
• Recommendation: Add a popup or notification to inform users when an internet connection is required.

Bug_2: Refresh Button Unclickable

• Issue: The Refresh button sometimes becomes unclickable.
• Fix: Restarting the app temporarily resolves the issue.

10.46pm 23.2.25

edit: found the way to reproduce of the problem, it occurs after adding of removing a "path"

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

**NEW**

24.2.25

edit 2: after some more fiddling  i found a way to consistently make the "Refresh button", unclickable.  After clicking the Configuration tab and going back to games, it renders the Refresh button unclickable.

Recommendations for Developers

1. Add a Tutorial:
   • The software is unintuitive for new users, even for tech-savvy individuals. A guide or onboarding tutorial would help.
2. Notify Users About DeepL’s Internet Requirement:
   • Switching the translation engine to DeepL does not indicate that an internet connection is needed, which can confuse users when translations fail.
   • Also add a notification when internet connection is lost
