How to translate pokemon names and item names to English

Question

I found an old Youtube tutorial , and it said to open the cmd and type:

game --util=translate

but this no longer works.

also, what version or Ruby do I install to edit the scripts? is it still ruby 2.6?

Answer 1

Pokemon names and items are already translated, just make sure your game is in English. If you're talking about what is displayed inside RMXP's database, don't use that. Everything database related should be modified using Ruby Host right now (and later, Studio, when it'll release).

but what if I need to add items on the map, or have some NPC gift an item?

Use the command take_item(:name) (when on ground) or give_item(:name) (when given by a NPC).
