TFE-Octo-Translator

A simple Python script to translate The Force Engine using the Python Googletrans package.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.8+
• Packages: googletrans, httpcore, httpx

Instructions:

Install googletrans, httpcore, httpx with:

pip install -U googletrans, httpcore httpx

Launch it in the directory with the file subtitles-en.txt to translate the entire file. If you specify a number after TFE-Octo-Translator.py, the translation will start from that line number, skipping the rest.

Example:

python TFE-Octo-Translator.py 200

It will start the translation from the line 200. A file will be created in the same folder with the name subtitles-xx.txt, where xx will be your 2-letters language code. If you start multiple time the script it will append the text to the pre-existing file. If you don't want that, just delete, move or rename the old file.

After that, start TFE, go in the Options > Accessibility and there select your subtitles and optionally the font.

Remember:

The Force Engine ships with a free font containing latin characters. If you want to translate the file in a language not supported by that charset, just go to Google Fonts and download a free font. I suggest a font from the Noto style. For example for Japanese just download Noto Sans Japanese - Google Fonts, open the zip and then copy the file NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf in the TheForceEngine\Fonts\ folder.
