# Translation Mode

**AutoTrans offers several translation modes to handle different game and compatibility issues.**

### Default

The standard mode for real-time translation.\
Since **v0.8.9-beta**, this mode uses cached translations by default to improve performance.

### RT + No Cache

Real-time translation without caching. Each text line is translated every time it appears.

### ~~RT + Cache~~ (old version)

~~Real-time translation with caching from older versions.~~

***

### RenPy: RT + Raw Text \[Experimental]

An alternative translation method for RenPy games that extracts raw text before formatting.\
**Tip:** Enable Auto-Correct in the translation menu when using this mode.

### RenPy: Legacy Version \[Vanilla]

An older, more stable version for RenPy games.\
You can use this option if both "Default" and "RT + Raw Text" modes don't work with\
the game
