Version 1.3 of PSO2 Chat Translator has been released!

Please check the first post to get the latest download links. The changelog is below.

Version 1.3 (August 9, 2013):

• Colour chat macros such as {red} are now hidden from the chat window.
• Improved the ability to remove the letter 'w' from Japanese messages before translating - it will now remove the uppercase letter W, as well as the full-width characters 'ｗ' and 'Ｗ'.
• The overlay chat border's opacity can now be changed separately to that of the chat background, using a slider. To disable the border in overlay mode, simply drag the slider to the far left (transparent) side.
• It’s now possible to keep Japanese chat messages in Japanese. This may be of use to people who wish to use more advanced translation programs, but find they are unable to use their translation program with PSO2/GameGuard.
• Added a new textbox to the user-translation window, showing the transliteration (romaji) of the Japanese translation.
• Updated the list of known lobby actions to include many of the more recent ones.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes.

Your suggestions and feedback are welcome!

Cheers,
Tanerinn.

any chance for a real overlay like msi afterburner/fraps have?
no idea why but the current one drops my framerate to 15 fps

I haven't looked into this much but there is the possibility that it could be done. If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7 with the Aero theme, you may find you get better performance if you disable desktop composition (the Aero theme) while running PSO2.

Yo! I had an idea for the "translation" option. If possible after you type in the word you wish to translate would it be possible to add romanji under the japanese text and above the translation checker?

I've added this to the new version, I hope it helps!

While you can use the chat translator in regular fullscreen mode, you'll either need a second monitor to look at it on, or you'll have to Alt-Tab out of the game. The chat translator's overlay mode can only overlay on top of a virtual fullscreen window or regular windowed mode, for now at least.

Thanks for reply.
Well, some people said that playing at normal Fullscreen give better speedup in gameplay (Yeah i know, my PC is low in spec)

I've just discovered this and I'm blown away at how great this is.

A minor suggestion of mine: Could you allow an option to swap the order of appearance for translated text/romaji? For me, it just feels more natural having the japanese text come first and then the translation.

Just feels more natural!

Edit: Ok maybe I'm nitpicking too much but I also feel the translated text should be in brackets instead.
