In addition to following the instructions above, you also have an option to choose a custom folder in which to store an mmd_tools translation dictionary. Click File, Export, MikuMikuDance model (.pmx) to export the model. You can then export this model from Blender with mmd_tools with all of its new English names of morphs, bones, display panel groups, physics, materials and model information. mmd_tools does not translated more than one model at a time. English names will then be mass added onto your imported MMD model within several seconds or within a fraction of a second. If you do not enable "Allow Fails", a list of all of the untranslated names will be printed to a text file called "mmd_", which you can then find and view in the Blender text editor.Ĭlick OK. The only reason to disallow incomplete translations would be for diagnostic purposes. This causes names to be partially translated, even if the translations.csv dictionary is not able to completely translate a name. Otherwise existing English names in the model will be preserved.Įnable "Allow Fails".

If you enable "Overwrite", existing English names in the model may be overwritten with a new translation. This will allow you to easily see the morph type of a morph when you load the model into MMD. If you enable the "Use Morph Prefix" option, prefixes will be added to the English names of the morphs which are not vertex morphs (M_ for material morphs, B_ for bone pose morphs, UV_ for UV morphs, G_ for group morphs). The Blender Names option only translates names for viewing the translated names in Blender. Otherwise you won't see any translated names in your model after you export it from Blender. You can select or deselect a translation Type (Bones, Morphs, Materials, Display, Physics, Information) using Shift + LMB. Mmd_tools translation gives you the option to not translate a section of your model, but there is no advantage to that unless a section of your model is already well-translated. In the Dictionary list menu, select translations.csv as the translation dictionary. This causes a popup dialog box to appear. In the mmd_tool panel (whose tab is on the left side of the 3D view), click on the Translation button. Click File, Import, MikuMikuDance model (.pmd.
