Hello everyone~
If you're reading visual novels and depend on translation programs and text hookers, here's a small guide into the new ITH (Interactive Text Hooker) that has been developed.
I'll update more if there are people who need help with other things. For now, I'll just show the basics of ITH and a few things about Translation Aggregator (TA).
I'm sure there are people who use Chiitrans. That's also another choice, but this thread will focus more on ITH and Translation Aggregator.

Quick Note
- Some of the things in this guide may require ATLAS, a translation program.
- Here is the site for those unfamiliar: http://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/software/translation/atlas/downloads/
Like I mentioned, this small guide is to mainly help people with ITH and TA. I won't go into detail about ATLAS, but I would recommend it for 'quick, overall translations'.

Interactive Text Hooker
1. First thing you should check is when you open ITH and your game...
- Go to ITH and press the 'Process' button.
- Search for the name of your game.
- Click the game's name and click 'Add Profile'. Press 'OK'.
Here's an example below. My game's name is 'PersonA'.
2. To make sure it's added, go to ITH and press 'Profile'.
Here's an example below. As you can see, the game is added.
3. Next, go to ITH and press 'Option'. Make sure these are checked and press 'OK'.
- Auto attach
- Auto insert
- Auto copy to clipboard
- Auto suppress repetition
These enable the translation from Japanese to English and captures the text.
Here's an example below.
4. In ITH, insert the hook you have in that rectangular white box.
I'll be using my hook /HW4@42E3A2.
As you can see below, my text is all jumbled repeated Japanese...
5. After you type the hook and press 'Enter', you then press 'Hook' on ITH.
Scroll to find your hook. It should be labelled 'UserHook' or labelled with the numbers and letters you inserted as the hook. Then select that hook and press 'OK'.
See below for the example.
6. Click the text/dialogue box in your game or anywhere so ITH can detect/pick up the text with its new hook you inputted.
See below... just click somewhere so ITH can generate your new hook.
7. Go back to the front of ITH, and scroll until you find 'UserHook' or whichever new hook you inputted, and pick the hook that corresponds and displays the right text for your game.
See below for the example.
Result: It should generate the text like this picture below.
8. Go to ITH, and press 'Save'. This saves the hook and makes sure that if you open ITH again, the hook you used will be there the next time you play.
9. Please close/exit ITH. Then open it up again. If you did it correctly, when you press 'Profile', you should see your hook.
Here is an example.

Translation Aggregator
Once you have downloaded TA and saved it in a suitable location, please check the following things to get you started.
1. Please download Mecab and the edict files for Jparser.
Mecab
- Download Mecab here: http://code.google.com/p/mecab/downloads/list
- If you haven't installed Mecab before, download the '.exe' (execution file).
- If you have installed it before, just download the updates with the extensions '.tar.gz'.
- When installing, choose a dictionary other than 'UTF16' like 'UTF8'.
Jparser
- Download Jparser here: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict_doc.html
- Download either 'edict.gz' or 'edict2.gz' or both.
- Decompress it and put it in TA's 'dictionaries' folder.
Please see below if you aren't sure.
2. Open TA, click 'Tools', and make sure these two things are checked.
- Translate from = Japanese
- Translate to = English
Here's an example just in case.
3. If you have done it correctly, you can open TA with ITH and your game running.
As you can see below, Jparser can translate text if you hover over the word. You can see Mecab is functioning and the other translation boxes as well.

Extra Tip for Translation Aggregator
If you would like to see your game's top menu bar in English, please do the following.
1. When you open TA, go to 'Tools', and go to 'Launch Text Hooker'.
If you're not sure, here's a picture.
2. Find your game and double-click it or press 'Open'. Once done, please click 'OK'.
Here's an example. My game is 'PersonA'.
3. Hover over your game's menu bar and it should change to English.
See below for an example.

Solution to Wolf RPG
Give thanks to [MENTION=84482]Abdalmaus[/MENTION] ; and [MENTION=2724]Sakimichi[/MENTION] ; for their time and effort in providing the solution.
1.
/Ks2 should work, but if no one can answer you question I suggest using VNR. https://code.google.com/p/annot-player/
WolfEngine doesn't need any hook codes and the repetitions are already removed.
Plus Chiitrans2 is already an abandonware.
Go to preferences and do this:
Run the game and Go to options:

Update
If anyone ever run into the same problem as me:
Run the game through agth separately instead of trying to start it from Chii.
Command line I was recommended is: "c:/agth.exe" /c /x3 /kf64:16 /ks2 "game.exe"
Turn on Chii after you set it with the right monitored thread on AGTH.
Check "Enable clipboard monitoring" on Chii and "Check for repeating phrases"
If you're using ChiiTrans2, just run game and select "AGTH inject (...)"
Now I got both software working as I wanted
VNR is perfect for me to play VNs and some other games on fullscreen (specially with widescreen)
And Chii for windowed RPGs!
I take no credit on that solution, I'm not sure if I can mention other forums here.
