Hi,
As topic, is there a rename script or plugin to achieve this? It is troublesome to do with 3rd party app.
Thanks.
I don't think there is any. Since this is a delicate matter, it would be maybe the best to have a dedicated tool included in a script, which maybe would be possible, depending on your 3rd party app.
One option is the Clipboard button/menu at the bottom of the Rename dialog. That lets you get a list of all the current names in text format, which you could paste into a translation tool, translate, and then put back into the Rename dialog to rename all the files at once.
Streamlining it more might be possible via scripting, but would need a translation tool or service that you can access via the script in some way (be it running a program or calling a web API).
Wow, this rename preset is at github, thanks will have a look. This could improve quality of life. I saw the dictionary for words switching there. This also means DOpus can do a lot of things, yet not so sluggish when using.
Hmm, i downloaded the .js script from github. After installing, there is error at script management status.
Script log showed: Script does not implement any known events and was unloaded.
How to solve it?
Win11 24H2 and scripts that include files don't mix well currently.
Move the inc*.js files into the main script as a workaround.
Similar here.
Hmm not really, i just asked ChatGPT 
. I am using W11 24h2 too.
Just add the function to initialize the script then ok already.
// Function to initialize the script
function OnInit(initData) {
initData.name = "Trad to Simplified";
initData.version = "1.0";
initData.default_enable = true;
initData.min_version = "12.0"; // Minimum version of Directory Opus required
// Register the Rename event
var cmd = initData.AddCommand();
cmd.name = "Trad to Simplified";
cmd.method = "OnGetNewName";
cmd.desc = "Convert Traditional Chinese file names to Simplified Chinese";
cmd.label = "Traditional to Simplified";
cmd.template = ""; // No input parameters needed
}
If it’s a Rename Script theb you shouldn’t add an OnInit method, and it goes into the Rename dialog (not into Settings > Scripts; that’s for script add-ins).
See the Rename Scripts part of this post:
I see, thanks finally get it to work. Just copy paste all the wordings into Edit Script under rename dialog.
