About mTRANSLATOR
mTRANSLATOR opens plugins from Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout 4 and Starfield and lets you translate their text line by line or in batches. It reads and writes .esp, .esm and .esl files, .strings, .dlstrings and .ilstrings tables, and MCM .txt files.
Suggestions come from three places:
- SST dictionaries in the xTranslator format, applied at once for exact matches and offered for review when close;
- a local memory that keeps every line you validate and reuses it first on the next mod;
- machine translation through Google Translate, or Gemini with your own key.
Game tags such as <Alias=…>, [pagebreak] and Papyrus variables are protected during machine translation. Batch mode translates several plugins at once, dictionaries first and the machine for the rest.
Find and replace supports regular expressions, and a diff view compares two versions of a mod. Exports include the translated plugin with a timestamped backup, SST, xTranslator XML, CSV, TXT and JSON. The interface language is separate from the translation language.
It covers the main xTranslator workflow on macOS, without Wine. Releases are arm64 builds for macOS 15 or later, notarized, with the interface in English, French, Spanish and Italian.
