Re: Change Filename Language

How is ReNamer going to know the translation?

Is it available in meta tags? A separate lookup file?

My first response would be via an 'auto-detect' function. However, by asking me this question I suppose I am not fully understanding the inner-workings of this utility.

Re: Change Filename Language

He's asking you who/what is going to do the translation. if you just strip the japanese characters in your example you're left with:

(Beast Machines：Transformers）/S01E01:.mkv

I dont think that's your goal or is it?

If you want the Japanese wording translated into English that part needs to be available to ReNamer via a separate text file or as meta data within the file....

Sorry, Chinese not Japanese. Tiny screen and ignorance make for bad judges.
