# 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vntranslator.com/user-guide/autotrans/translation-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
