Polywoof for RuneLite!

Translation Framework for RuneLite that can translate ACTUALLY everything¹! Widget Text and UI are untouched to prevent confusion of misleading translations.

• Translation for NPC, Player and other dialogs.
• Translation for Game Messages and Examines.
• Translation for NPC and Item⁴ names.
• Translation for Dialog Options.
• Translation for Overhead Text.
• Translation⁵ for Scrolls, Books, Player Messages and any text on the screen.

Note

List of the Supported Languages.

Tip

Use DBeaver, or a similar program to view or edit the database.

Guide for DeepL

Note

API Key is REQUIRED for the DeepL backend!
Best Quality and very recommended, but not available in some regions.

• You have to register a DeepL account, choose a free or paid DeepL API plan, create an API Key and copy it.
  • If you can't register or verify for any reason – ask someone to help you!
• Open the config and paste the key into the API Key field, type in your destination Language and choose whatever you want to be translated in the Translation section!
  • Any additional stuff will use your API Quota, so choose wisely.

Guide for Google

Note

API Key is REQUIRED for the Google backend!
Good Choice, might withdraw your money if not careful.

• You have to create a Google Cloud account, a Cloud Billing account and link it to your default project.
• Enable the Translation API, create an API Key and copy it.
  • Google will charge you if the API Quota exceeds over 500,000 characters monthly, to prevent that visit the Translation API and set «v2 and v3 general model characters per day» to 16,000 (500,000 ÷ 31).
• Open the config and paste the key into the API Key field, and you're done!

Guide for MyMemory

Note

Free Service without any fees!
Great Solution for everyone, has a lot of quota but not so perfect.

• You don't really have to do anything, just leave something in the Email Address field other than blank text.
  • Optionally, you can enter your email address for an additional API Quota of 50,000 (instead of 5,000) characters per day.
