Proofreading Tool manual version 2

Hello everyone, this is Troubleshooter development team.

First of all,

From the time when we released the Proofreading Tool, many Troubleshooter community members gladly provided their ideas and better translations.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of them.

Many requests to the tool has been received. We tried to apply them and many functions have been added. This is why we update the new manual.


Troubleshooter is supporting 3 languages officially and other languages are supported by unofficially.

The team also knows that some of official translation is not such a readable. We're sorry about that.

Though the team is made up with developers and no foreign language expert, we can't give up updating the translation.

This is why we built the Proofreading Tool. We wanted to provide you a more convenient way to access translation of the game.

Did you find out any typos, awkward expressions, or unreadable sentences? You can suggest better translation by using Proofreading Tool.

Every single suggested translation will be checked by development team and there will be a chance to share the idea of translation with other users.

We'll do our best to apply the translations you've made in the update as soon as we possible.

[h2]Editing Dialogues[/h2]

Step 1.
Once you activate the tool, you can see [ Support Translation ] on the bottom left corner of the game screen when a dialogue is being progressed.


Step 2.
Click the [ Support Translation ], then [ Translation List ] window pops up. This is the main screen of Proofreading tool. Please check the number mark on the screenshot and descriptions below.


1.) Category tab:
- Mastery, Ability, Item, Buff: Regardless of what currently being listed on the screen, you can always edit names and descriptions of a specific mastery, ability, item and buff.
- Search Text: You can search sentences that include the words you've input.
- Recent Text: When you click the [ Support Translation ], main screen shows this as its default. This shows dialogues history.

2.) Content box:
- Shows contents of the category you've chosen on the Category tab.

3.) Page navigator:
- When the contents are too many, you can navigate them using Previous and Next buttons.

4.) Keyword search box:
- If you want to look for any text that is included to Mastery, Ability, Item, Buff, you can type a specific word here and the result will be showed if there is any.

Step 3.
If you find awkward sentences or typos in a specific sentence, click the sentence you want to edit then screen turns to the edit mode.


1.) Current Translation: The sentence you've clicked.

2.) New Translation: You can write your translation here.

3.) Note: Besides the New Translation, if you want to tell anything that is related to your new translation to the development team, you can freely leave the message here. The text here won't be included to the text in New Translation section.

4.) Translation History: Lists the confirmed translations.

5.) Other Suggestions: If anyone already suggested new translation and it is not confirmed yet, they are listed here. You can still suggest your own translation and instead of writing new one, you can click heart icon in already suggested translation list. The sentence that has higher 'heart' count will have a higher chance to be confirmed by the development team.

6.) Language: Set the language of you've input.

Once you've input new translation or click any heart icon, please don't forget to click 'Submit'.

[h2]Editing Masteries, Abilities, Items, and Buffs[/h2]

Step 1.
In the main screen, click the Mastery(or Ability or Item or Buff) tab. ( 1 in below screenshot )


Step 2.
All other steps are same as Editing Dialogues.

* Warning

You can see the Placeholder when you click some sentences. ( 2 in above screenshot )

For example, a sentence before you clicked could be showed like below.

『 Hit Chance increases by 1.5% per 1 currently applied Scholar, Hacker masteries. 』

But once you clicked, it will be showed like below in the edit mode.

『 $Stat$ increases by $Value2$ per $Value$ currently applied $Type$, $Type2$ masteries. 』

As you have already noticed, $Stat$, $Value$, $Value2$, $Type$, $Type2$ are placeholder. It is automatically replaced to the pre setup value when it is used in the game. You can move placeholder's position but if placeholder's format has broken, It won't be replaced to right value and it will be showed as error.

Of course all the suggested translations are checked by the development team and most error will be fixed. But please note that keep the placeholder's format right.

Thank you very much.
