How to Read Visual Novel in a Foreign Language


Key Takeaways:

  • Textractor
  • Yomichan
  • Misaka
  • VN Translation with ChatGPT

Text Hooking Tools

For those new to Japanese or the visual novel format, text hooking tools are indispensable for a smooth reading experience. Textractor is highly recommended as it's one of the most up-to-date and user-friendly text hookers available. It allows you to extract text from the game in real time, which can then be fed into translation software or dictionary tools. This is particularly useful for beginners who find themselves frequently stumped by unknown kanji or complex phrases.


Word Lookup Tools

Yomichan is an essential tool for quick word lookups. It offers features like importing extensive dictionaries, Anki integration for flashcards, and the ability to automatically capture text from the clipboard—ideal for working alongside OCR tools or text hookers. This setup enables learners to efficiently learn new vocabulary and kanji in context, which is more effective than traditional study methods.


Misaka Hook Finder

Misaka Translator is part of the MisakaProject, a collection that includes various projects built around the core functionalities of MisakaTranslator and its auxiliary services. It is designed to facilitate translation tasks, particularly for gaming applications where direct text hooking methods are ineffective. The broader MisakaProject includes tools like MisakaPatcher, which adds support for plugin-based Chinese patches, making it ideal for players who prefer manual translation and providing a solution for Chinese translators facing challenges with unpacking game data. Another tool, MisakaHookFinder, assists users in finding specific text hook codes or directly retrieving source text from games, and it features clipboard support for exporting the original text. These tools collectively enhance the translation process, especially in gaming contexts, by offering customized and user-driven solutions.


Search for ChatGPT tools on GitHub

If you know how to use GitHub, there are visual novel translator tools based on Python, utilizing ChatGPT. It automates the input of text for translation, eliminating the need for API costs and allowing the use of both ChatGPT 4 and ChatGPT 3.5. These tool support multiple concurrent accounts to double translation speed and maintains translation context within the same session for enhanced accuracy. Users can log in via cookies or with undetected-chrome to avoid account suspension, and it also supports traditional username-password login. These translators manage usage limits of GPT4 by pausing and restarting translations as needed. They are particularly suited for those with experience in Python web scraping, as it requires user intervention for maintenance and updates due to the dynamic nature of the ChatGPT web page.
