Note: Remember that you have to download each update manually. GameTranslate does not currently have any auto-update support!

'Still background' mode is here, if you play any visual novels where you can not configure the text being typed out or not, this is for you!
It should make translating VNs a much smoother experience. You can find and activate it under the General tab in the configuration.

I wish I had more to show for this week, but we're still tugging away, making progress. I can not stress enough how important it is to receive feedback. If there is anything not working quite as you want, or you desire a new feature, please do contact me. It is the only sure way that it can be done in the best and quickest possible way. Thank you!

P.S.
I recently opened a subreddit for GameTranslate. Join if you'd like to follow the progress there! :)

Changelog

• Added 'Still background' mode, which should be used primarily for Visual Novels, where all text does not appear immediately
• Added 'Toggle still background' hotkey
• Added 'New background' hotkey (used with Still Background only)
• Improved speed of the entire translation pipeline when using the Automatic mode
• Added 'Text expansion removal scale' user config, which should be used when text isn't fully removed or when the text removal is too obstructive to the background
• Added 'Attempt text centring' user config (not to be confused with Comic mode text centring..)
• Increased leniency for height difference text merging due to it sometimes cutting off text in paragraphs
• Text that is centred should no longer have any trouble being properly merged into paragraphs
• Automatic mode will no longer use median x as start position of text (this is now a redundant fix for an older issue). Instead it will use the left-most x pos of paragraph, which will result in centred text no longer having its original text overflowing to the left hand side
• Comic mode will now always properly centre the text horizontally
• Fixed rare crash caused by improper background colours in Automatic mode
• Added 'Image scale factor' user config. Increasing this value can help improve OCR results at the cost of speed
• Added localization for telemetry
• Added localization for encryption
• Added Ukrainian, Icelandic, Turkish and Telugu LLM localization
• Added various other missing localization texts to former existing localization languages
• Fixed rare crash related to refreshing games list due to missing permissions in main app
• Fixed rare crash caused by backend/frontend messaging overloading in main app
• Fixed crash caused by permission issues/invalid window
• Fixed rare crash caused by Desktop mode trying to shut down non-existent process
• Fixed rare crash caused by user somehow being able to launch without proper config
• Fixed Desktop mode falling behind other non-fullscreen processes
• Fixed Attached mode falling behind its target process
• Added ch_PP-OCRv5_rec_mobile_infer recognition model for improved Chinese recognition (it CAN be used for Japanese, but it is debatable if it is any better for it)
• Fixed minor styling issues in main app
