The ultimate high-performance translation toolkit for the Hachimi translation modding ecosystem.
ZokuZoku Edge is a state-of-the-art Visual Studio Code extension built specifically to accelerate and streamline asset localizations in UM:PD. It provides specialized, high-fidelity visual editors and seamless workflows so translators can focus on the content and maintain absolute visual precision.
- 🎨 Svelte-Powered Visual Editors: Built-in, high-fidelity visual editors for live lyrics (
m*_lyrics.json), story timelines, and text databases (text_data.json) designed to mimic actual game rendering. - ⚡ Tag-Aware Text Wrapping: Native Rust WebAssembly (
hachimi_lib) handles layout, character segmentation, and styling tag limits perfectly inside Svelte webviews. - 📂 Intuitive Navigation: Organizes translatable assets into logical tree views, making it easy to find, preview, and edit files without touching raw JSON.
- 🔄 Dynamic Asset Handling: Real-time data generation removes the need for manual preprocessing, patching, or separate data downloads.
- ⌨️ Streamlined Collaborative Workflow: Fully integrated with VS Code's native features, including Git/source control, keyboard shortcuts, and theme compatibility.
