Game Profiles

Game-specific profiles that bundle capture settings, glossaries, custom prompts, and vocabulary stats into one shareable package.

What's in a Game Profile?

  • Game metadata — title, display name, genre, process name
  • Language pair — source and target language
  • Capture settings — mode (region/cursor), dimensions, offset
  • Glossary — game-specific term dictionary with categories
  • Word frequency — how often each word appears in the game
  • Vocabulary coverage — percentage of game words you've learned
  • Blacklist — words excluded from auto-save

Glossary

Each Game Profile has a glossary of game-specific terms. These are injected into translation prompts to improve accuracy for proper nouns, items, and skills.

Categories:

  • Character
  • Location
  • Item
  • Skill
  • Game Term
  • (Uncategorized)

Glossary entries can be added manually, imported from a file, or built with the AI Assistant (MCP).

Game Profile Management

Lite: Up to 3 game profiles. Standard: Unlimited — create, edit, duplicate, delete, and share.

  • Create — start a new game profile for any game
  • Edit — modify settings, glossary, and prompts
  • Duplicate — clone an existing game profile as a starting point
  • Delete — remove a game profile and its associated data

Export & Import (.playto-pack)

Export your Game Profile as a .playto-pack file (JSON format) and share it with other players.

Export includes: game metadata, language pair, full glossary, capture settings, and contributor name.

Import: Load a .playto-pack file to get another player's glossary and settings. You can choose to import glossary only or the full profile.

Community Sharing

Community game profiles live at github.com/playto-app/packs. Each supported game has its own folder with a downloadable .playto-pack file, a preview screenshot, and the contributor's notes.

Install a community game profile: Browse the repo, download the .playto-pack file, then import it from Profile → Import in the app. Glossary entries merge with your existing data — new terms are added, existing ones are preserved.

Share your game profile: Export from Profile → Export, then open a PR at the repo. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the PR flow and what to include.
