Game Packs

Game-specific profiles that bundle capture settings, glossaries, custom prompts, and vocabulary stats into one shareable package.

What's in a Game Pack?

  • Game metadata — title, display name, genre, process name
  • Language pair — source and target language
  • Capture settings — mode (region/cursor), dimensions, offset
  • Glossary — game-specific term dictionary with categories
  • Custom prompts — per-pack translation, VLM, dictionary, and grammar prompts
  • Word frequency — how often each word appears in the game
  • Vocabulary coverage — percentage of game words you've learned
  • Blacklist — words excluded from auto-save

Glossary

Each Game Pack has a glossary of game-specific terms. These are injected into translation prompts to improve accuracy for proper nouns, items, and skills.

Categories:

  • Character
  • Location
  • Item
  • Skill
  • Game Term
  • (Uncategorized)

Glossary entries can be added manually, imported from a file, or built with the AI Assistant (MCP).

Pack Management

Free: Up to 3 packs. Steam: Unlimited — create, edit, duplicate, delete, and share.

  • Create — start a new pack for any game
  • Edit — modify settings, glossary, and prompts
  • Duplicate — clone an existing pack as a starting point
  • Delete — remove a pack and its associated data

Custom Prompts

Each pack can override the default prompts used for translation. This lets you tailor the AI's behavior per game — for example, instructing it to use specific terminology or tone.

Prompt types:

  • Translation — OCR text translation prompt
  • VLM — vision mode prompt
  • Dictionary — word lookup prompt
  • Grammar — grammar analysis prompt

Variables like {from_lang}, {to_lang}, {context} are auto-substituted at runtime.
