I thought the point was that it used Sugoi to translate wich is better than google and deepL, or maybe some fancy new AI transaltor that is better (i saw mention of one recently that was a huge improvement with AI trans).
Anyway i see a couple of game i want to try (mostly BISHOP and Liquid) so long as is better than google i am ok with it............hopefully Triangle Blue and othe rLilim games get translated too xD
PS: Mtool is getting very popular recently but the free version as many limitations like size and using only google, so if this circunvents those i do see some use for it
Mtool does not support most VNs at all.
On top of that, the guy who translates keeps the data ready for-re translation. So when Sugoi 6,10,2090, whatever pops up with better MTL, this guy has already most work done and can release better MTL.
(not related to quoted Animefan, it is about some other people):
BTW. I see some malcontency here from some people, some people fail to see that for many users such hardcoded MTL is first acceptable experience for VNs/games with NTR.
It is zero-effort (just replace files from archive)
It has no delay AT ALL - you some people here state this was not an issue with extractors - for me and some other people it is an issue.
It is offline and private. Deepl/Google monitors everything and some VNs surely trigger (falsely) some alarms.
Ability to change a translation with online stuff is a niche request.
The text is where it belongs, not in some rectangle next to the game. Also, while some stuff remains untranslated anyway, patched-MTL has more text translated than hooked online one. Online/hooking translating is a lot less immersive.
I think I said enough, cause malcontents will surely attack the project anyway, no point to say all reasons over and over. The users will decide themselves what they want and I am sure what it will be.
PS. Some people are whining about someone put an effort for modern HQ MTL (not Google's "poetry") and ask for an OPTIONAL donation, delivering patches for free.
In case you think MTL is an cancer or sth, feel free to provide actual translation. And ofc never ask for money, since asking for the money for work, time, effort is so bad.
