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

Region Validation

Region validation is an addition that massively can make translating in games look a lot smoother, especially if you're looking to translate a large portion of your game continuously. This feature only affects the Automatic Window, and you'll find its settings under the OCR tab. You will have to go there and manually enable it to use it at the moment since it will need testing before being enabled by default. It is likely that you'll have to change some of its settings to accommodate to the nature of the game you're playing.

External text panel

I've added an external translation results panel that you can put on your secondary monitor(s), or if you want it rendered over your windowed or borderless game, you can activate 'Always on top' in the panel's settings and drag it on top of the game.

I'd love to hear some feedback on this, it's been requested a few times before and I finally saw its real value and decided to take the plunge and implement it.

P.S. You can enable this in the 'General' tab, and then you'll find it under the 'Panel' section. I would recommend having 'Hide translation windows' set to true for most purposes. You can toggle this visibility with the 'Toggle visibility' keybinding.
