Launch

After downloading, extract the files to any directory.

WARNING

But please do not put the software in special paths such as C:\Program Files, otherwise, even with administrator privileges, you may not be able to save configuration and cache files, or even run the program.

• LunaTranslator.exe will start in normal mode.

• LunaTranslator_admin.exe will start with administrator privileges, which is required for hooking some games; use this only when necessary, otherwise start in normal mode.

• LunaTranslator_debug.bat will display a command-line window.

Unable to Start the Software

DANGER

Sometimes it may be flagged by antivirus software. Please add it to the trust list and re-download and extract.

Missing Important Components

Solution: Close antivirus software. If it cannot be closed (such as Windows Defender), add it to the trust list and then re-download.

Note: To achieve HOOK extraction of game text, it is necessary to inject Dll into the game. Files such as shareddllproxy32.exe/LunaHost32.dll implement this, and therefore are particularly likely to be considered as viruses. The software is currently automatically built by Github Actions. Unless the Github server is infected, it is impossible to contain viruses, so it can be safely added to the trust list.

For Windows Defender, the method is: “Virus & threat protection” -> “Exclusions” -> “Add or remove exclusions” -> “Add an exclusion” -> “Folder”, add Luna's folder to it

Error/PermissionError

If the software is placed in special folders such as C:\Program Files, it may not work properly.
