In-game story translation tool #5

Concept: It's boring to stare at an editing tool just translating whatever you might find upon the thousands of story data files. Instead of doing that, why not just let people translate while they play?

The translation tool would be based on the built-in GUI. It would pop up automatically whenever a story starts playing, with text boxes to edit various text content within the current story dialogue. The user can also preview how their translation would look. Once the user is done translating the current dialogue, it returns input to the user and pops up again whenever the user goes to the next dialogue, so on and so forth. When the story ends, it automatically saves the translation file.

This would solve several issues (of the currently available translation tools):
