# Extract & Translate

**Extract & Translate pre-translates all game text before playing, reducing lag and improving performance during gameplay.**

#### How it works

Unlike real-time translation which translates text as it appears (causing the\
game to wait for each translation), with Extract & Translate:

1. Extracts all text from the game files
2. Translates everything in advance
3. Injects translations back into the game

#### Supported game engines:

* RenPy
* RPG Maker MV
* RPG Maker MZ

#### Performance Settings

To speed up the translation process, increase the number of worker processes:

**Settings ➜ Translation ➜ Max Worker Processes**

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important Warning**\
Using more workers increases translation speed but also increases the risk of IP blocking by translation services due to rate limits.
{% endhint %}

**Recommended Worker Settings:**

* **Google Lite/Google Web:** 1-3
* **Bing/Papago:** 1-2
* **DeepL Web:** 1
* **DeepL API:** 1-2
* **ALL MT API:** 1-3

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vntranslator.com/user-guide/autotrans/extract-and-translate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
