I've recently been testing the text games with a new auto translate clipboard feature.
Like you, I noticed that you have to hold a modifier key such as shift when pressing enter to get the text games to pick it up.
Same when pressing escape.
I was told that this actually broke in one of the older NVDA versions and has been broken since.
Are you sure it is the JGT addon that makes the keypress not work as before?

It definitely isn't new. It's some sort of glitch with NVDA... and I'm very curious to know why.

hmm I was wondering, to decrease a bunch of queries to your server, and also to allow people to eventually play without internet access, can the cached translation be saved locally on our PCs? Here's another thing: For BK3, weapon advisor: I'd love to be able to copy the entire list of weapons I'm missing to the clipboard, in English. problem is, I can't, because the text is immediately replaced with a confirmation that the text was successfully copied. I guess I could down arrow through the entire list and paste into a document, but that'd kinda suck, I'd have to do it for the descriptive text too. hahaha. Anyone figured out a way to pull it off? if not I'll do it the slow sucky way lol.

Stirlock, it's interesting... because on a computer with the second enter key on the numpad, it doesn't have that glitch. Weird much?

it works great! but how do i read the stuff that comes up in the menues like when you open something, such as a chest?

@stirlock and assault_freak, in a way it is too bad it is not the addon's fault, then I'd have a better chance of solving it.

@musicman, it would be possible to save the cache locally, but I've got a lot of other things on my ToDo list for this and other projects, so I probably won't be doing this anytime soon.
I haven't played enough BK3 to use the weapon advisor, but I suppose you could turn off the copy translated text to clipboard option in JGT settings, then use the game to copy the Japanese text to your clipboard, then paste the entire copied text into Google Translate.
That way the JGT addon won't be overwriting your clipboard.
Of course, when Japanese text needs to be copied to the clipboard, you need to have the Japanese keyboard enabled.

@musical professor, It works with the ShadowRine Fullvoice game.  I'm told the demo and the non voice versions of the game do not output directly to NVDA, so it wouldn't work well with them.
That said, I'm working on an auto translate clipboard mode that should make it work with those and several other games, provided people are willing to install the Japanese keyboard.
I'm not sure what you mean by newest version of NVDA.
I, and others, have tested it in both NVDA 2015.4, and a recent NVDA snapshot, and it works in those.

@CAE_Jones, fortunately it does not.
The addon makes a strong effort to only translate things that actually contain Japanese text, and only while playing Japanese games.
Thanks for your concern though.

@kirundom, I'm not sure what you mean, what game are you playing and can you be more specific about where it does not work?

@Sean-Terry01, I'm trying to avoid adding too many shortcut keys to the addon, since they could conflict with NVDA or other addon keystrokes.
The user manual does explain how you can modify the existing keystrokes to be different.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

That's exactly what I meant. Could we make and unbound gesture for this. Then the user could make the gesture of choice for themselves if they want.

Lol, the full voice version is free. The demo just gives you a feel for the game, since it was released before the full version, it also unlocks a password for beating it. And he meant the other version, that came out years before the full voice version.

I've just released a new version of JGT.
It adds an auto translate clipboard feature and support for Brave of Cloudia, Cave of Marvels, and Morokuma's text games, as well as others.
The new games it supports still require the Japanese keyboard and AppLocale (or possibly Locale Emulator for Windows 10).
I've added step by step instructions to the user manual for getting setup with the Japanese keyboard and AppLocale.
The user manual also contains tips for getting the best experience when playing the text games.

I recommend downloading the new version of the addon and rereading the user manual since it has had heavy updates.
Here is the link to the manual.

It took a lot of work to get this new version ready.
I hope everyone enjoys it.

Hello
@Ian Reed Thank you for including the guide for play japanese audiogames on your page.
@tspivey I read the entire guide of Ian Reed, but I do not understand that it serves this addon.
someone could explain in more detail?
greetings and thanks.

My mistake, it does work when started with AppLocale.
I just wasn't holding the enter key long enough.
I've heard I can change the time you have to hold it for in gameÝ’è.ini.
I'll have to look into that and write up instructions.
