Unless automated translation programs have gotten appreciably better at handling idiomatic language while I wasn't paying attention over the last few years, most of what you'll get out is going to be Russian gibberish that will require correction by hand in the VX Ace interface. As I understand it, Translator++ is one of those tools that extracts text from a game into nice continuous tables for manual editing, and its ability to do machine translation is not meant to be its primary purpose. In theory, this tool could prevent someone from needing VX Ace editor to translate a game.

I have not used it, and it seems a rather new tool. This may be a bug with the tool, as I don't think TLS does anything special with actor data that should cause it to choke on Altina. I wouldn't jump to conclusions on there being no other Russians around, BTW. You might ask in a forum post on the subject. Lostone2 is Spanish, Fulminato is Italian, Betatester is French. There was a Brazilian whose username had "do" in it. NoelMittUns is probably German. I don't recall anyone self-identifying as Russian, but it's quite possible you're not alone. There are some Russians around, but those I can think of disdain their heritage for similar reasons as you, so I won't out them here. NoelMittUns is French, and I believe is slowly working on his own translation project, so may be worth talking to.
