Eorzean Translator

The Eorzean Translator provides offline, glossary-driven translation between Eorzean and English for players and lore enthusiasts. It targets quest text, dialogue snippets, item descriptions, and lore references encountered in-game, offering quick, in-context interpretations without external sources. The tool emphasizes consistency and speed for frequent terms used across zones and dungeons.
Conceptually, users supply text and select source and target languages. The system first applies a phrase dictionary to map common terms, then uses grammar rules to adjust word order and pronoun placement. When terms are missing, it returns a gloss or transliteration while preserving proper nouns and canonical names.
Intended audience includes new players learning in-game terms, role-players crafting lore-heavy dialogue, and strategists planning quests and raids. The value lies in fast, reliable glossing, batch translation for glossaries, and export-ready outputs that support note-taking, wiki entries, and in-game paste-ready text.
Core features include a curated glossary, phrase-based translation, context hints, optional formality settings, and offline operation. Use cases cover quest lines, NPC conversations, item flavor text, and community glossaries. It aims for accuracy on common phrases while gracefully handling unknown terms with helpful notes.
Limitations are acknowledged: it is not a full natural-language translator, nuanced humor or highly technical terms may require manual review, and canonical translations are limited to glossary entries. The tool uses in-game lore as reference and prioritizes user-supplied context when available. Regular glossary updates improve coverage over time.
