My Time At Sandrock translation parsing and machine translation tool

My Time At Sandrock translation tool

Description

sandrock-translator is a tool for translating localization files of My Time At Sandrock using popular translation API Google Translate. It handles two output formats for intermediate and final usage: JSON and Binary. JSON translation file can be used to manually fix context errors. JSON translation file as well as binary file can be used to replace text in original binary file, this technic is beneficial because some languages has longer words or contains multi-byte characters than original translation resulting in not fitting end results. This tool can't change original size of text string in bytes so those kind of workarounds were implemented.

Installation

Tool is published to PYPI, use for example PIP

pip install --user sandrock-translator

Example usage

Externalize translation strings from original binary file into editable JSON.

sandrock-translator -o json ./english ./english.json

Translate to Japanese and externalize translation strings into editable JSON.

sandrock-translator -o json -t jp ./thailand ./japanese.json

Use "thailand" translation file as origin and replace with our "japanese.json" strings into usable translation file.

sandrock-translator -r ./japanese.json ./thailand ./japanese

Translate Thai file into japanese language in one step.

sandrock-translator -t jp ./thailand ./japanese

Why Thai?

In short

You will fit longer words with non-latin characters.

Reason

I recommend "thailand" translation file as translation source for it's longest allowed string sizes in bytes. My Time At Sandrock uses UTF-8 encoded strings in translations and Thai has longest words with biggest width of Unicode encoding in bytes per character across available options.
