If you prefer a better name substitution for your Starry Sky game, here's a tutorial for TranslatorAggregator Helper + Plug-in.
Image Heavy post~ If you find it too difficult you can use this tutorial instead.
Before proceeding, make sure these programs are present:
Prerequisite
Translator Aggregator 0.4+ version
ITH or AGTH
Download these files
TA Helper 1.1.5.2 - Extract in your Translator Aggregator folder. Make sure it has its own subfolder.
TAH Plug-in 0.0.0.7 - Extract this one in your "Plugins" folder found in your Translator Aggregator directory, no need for a subfolder.
Make sure Translator Aggregator is running, if it is-- locate the TAHelper in its subfolder and double click on it. This dialogue will appear. If its green then you're safe. If its not, make sure Translation Aggregator is turned on.
Follow the settings in this dialogue. Download the TAHelper Names (File>Download).
Now go to your tray icons (Bottom right of your desktop screen) and locate the TAH Plug-in icon that looks like this. If its present then that means you have installed the plug-in successfully.
Go back to your Translator Aggregator folder > then Plugins folder > then Replacements folder
You will see names.txt file. Replace it with my names.txt file (File>Download) and restart your Translator Aggregator and TAHelper and you're done.
--------Questions and Explanations Corner------
How do I know if its working?
If the conversation looks like this. As you can see here, Makoto's name is separated from his dialogue.
Whats The use of the TAHelper Names?
It recognizes the names in the dialogue and TAHelper adds a << >> separation. This provides more accuracy to the translator aggregator. I highly recommend not adding phrases or punctuations in the TAHelper, use the plug-in instead. (Tutorial below)
Why is the TAHelper Names in Japanese?
The TAHelper can get the Japanese name from the aggregator if you specify it. The TAHelper names first word indicates the Japanese Name-- then after the space it indicates its substitution, but since we already added the substitution file in the plug-in (the names.txt file), all we need to do is just repeat the Japanese name because the plug-in will automatically substitute it. (lol was it difficult to understand? haha).
I want XXX name/word/phrase to be substituted
Sure you can do that, just follow these steps.
Go to the tray icon of your TA plug-in, right click and hit "Substitutions".
Scroll down till you see the last substitution word, double click it and hit "Enter" on your keyboard. A new space will appear.
Paste or type the Japanese name/word/phrase then hit "Ctrl+Tab" on your keyboard and type or paste its substitution.
Hit "Apply" afterwards
If its a name, add its Jap name then "Ctrl+Tab" Jap name again in the TAHelper. Hit "Apply" afterwards. If its not then skip this step.
Will you update the files you posted?
Hmm... I'm not sure. But I frequently update this one. I prefer you guys manually update too, to practice what you have learned.
This tutorial was derived from Sprucefirs guide, I just made it Starry Sky specific and added more info too. Any more questions? Hit me a message (。-ω-)ﾉ
