Translation and review
Update an existing translation
Re-extract and reconcile an already translated project, processing content identified as necessary.
Engine: MV · MZ · XP · VX · VX Ace
Access: Basic · Plus
Available options depend on the app version and your account access.
Objective: Re-extract and reconcile an already translated project, processing content identified as necessary.
Applies to: Basic/Plus with a recognized intact existing translation. Free does not enable this workflow. A different game or incompatible changes are not guaranteed updates.
Before starting: Preserve the previous version and working copy. Check account, engine, recognized translation and integrity messages. Have a valid provider for content requiring translation.
Steps
- Select the existing library project and open its translation configuration.
- Choose Update when enabled. Do not choose a new translation just because you cannot find previous output.
- Confirm that recognized output belongs to the correct project. Stop and investigate missing data or integrity errors; do not bypass validation.
- Review languages, provider and scope. Selection changes affect re-extraction and processing.
- Start the update and monitor reconciliation. It aims to reuse existing output and process necessary content; arbitrary modifications are not guaranteed to preserve all edits.
- Review the result when offered, especially new or changed content.
- Apply once, then test changed passages and a sample of previously translated content.
Expected result: The project is updated through its dedicated workflow. Confirm output and preserved edits in the actual project.
If it fails: An unavailable action may indicate plan, missing recognized output or invalid state. Preserve the message and old version. Do not rename integrity files to force recognition.
