A tool that translates FFXIV in-game chat in real-time.

This version is an improved fork of the original IronworksTranslator, incorporating Gemini support along with several new features and quality-of-life improvements.

• Gemini translation support
• Speaker-separated translation for improved accuracy
• Window position saving between sessions
• Fixed translation window scroll position (no auto-scrolling when reading previous messages)
• Maximum line count of 1000 to prevent performance issues
• Channel-specific color settings for better visual distinction between chat types

• Windows 10 64bit or higher
• .NET 6.0 Runtime (Download)
• Final Fantasy XIV running in DirectX 11 mode

• You need to enter an Gemini API key when using the Gemini

To build the project yourself, you'll need the .NET 6.0 SDK installed.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Pratiable/IronworksTranslator-Enhanced.git
   cd IronworksTranslator-Enhanced

2. Build for development (testing): This command compiles the code quickly for testing purposes. The output will be in the bin/Debug/net6.0-windows folder.

   dotnet build

3. Build for release distribution:

   Option A: Runtime-dependent (requires .NET 6.0 Runtime on target machine)

   # Clean previous builds
   dotnet clean --configuration Release
   dotnet restore
   
   # Build optimized release version
   dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./release --runtime win-x64

   Option B: Self-contained (includes .NET runtime, larger file size)

   # Clean and build complete standalone package
   dotnet clean --configuration Release
   dotnet restore
   dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./release --self-contained true --runtime win-x64

   Quick commands for release:

   For PowerShell (Windows):

   dotnet clean --configuration Release; dotnet restore; dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./release --self-contained true --runtime win-x64

   For Bash/Linux/macOS:

   dotnet clean --configuration Release && dotnet restore && dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./release --self-contained true --runtime win-x64

   The published files will be in the ./release folder. You can distribute the contents of this folder as a complete application package.
