# 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

## 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/translation-mode.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.
