Chiitrans Lite Tutorial

Chiitrans and Chiitrans2 development has been abandoned and Chiitrans Lite was born. Unlike its predecessors there are no script replacements used except for names and it doesn’t support other languages except English.  Nonetheless, it’s quite light and easy to use. It’s developed by alexbft and uses a modified VNR engine.

• Windows 7 or later
• .NET Framework 4
• Internet Explorer 10+
• 600 MB of free memory

Adding names

Adding names to your Chiitranslite improves translation. This will tell ATLAS “Hey this is a character name! Don’t translate this literally”.

1. Open Chiitrans Lite window.Select “Options”
2. Select ” Parsing”
3. Select “Edit names…”
4. The format is pretty simple. Just add the Japanese name followed by a space then an = then the Translation of the name.

Notes:

• Unlike VNR, Chiitrans Lite doesn’t have a shared online dictionary and submitted translations. Nevertheless, I recommend this to people who are okay with plain atlas and faster performance.
