So you never have to do the same work twice.
abo is a translation tool built for game localization. Terminology, style, and translation memory accumulate in your project, so every update and sequel can build on what is already there.
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English — with a deep focus on CJK.
01 Assets
Every translation adds to your project's assets. The next update, the next language — you do not start from zero.
Past translations accumulate by language. Identical source text is reused, so you only work on what is actually new.
Character names, skill names, item names, and system terms are shared across the whole project.
Your tone and style guidelines build up over time and guide AI translation.
What you build stays with your project.
Let AI do the work. Keep the final say.

05 From the field
abo.tools grew out of 17 years of game localization work. Placeholders, term drift, CJK readability, pre-delivery checks — the work repeated on every project, turned into practical tools one task at a time.
Let tools handle repetition. Keep judgment human.
