Adjust how Tranzio looks and behaves, secure your account, and manage the practical things: languages, storage, and notifications.
Settings is one page with sections down the left side, and it's worth a five-minute visit early on: telling Tranzio which languages you read, where translations should install, and which notifications you want makes the whole app feel tailored. Everything here saves immediately; there's no Apply button to forget.
The sections
The sidebar groups them into Account, Workspace and System. You'll set most of these once and never think about them again, so a slow first pass now saves a lot of hunting later.

| Section | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| Profile | Your display name, handle, and avatar, which is what other players see next to your work and messages. |
| Security | Your email and password, two-factor authentication, and the list of devices signed into your account (with a sign-out button for any you don't recognize). |
| Notifications | Which alerts reach you, which may pop up as desktop notifications, and quiet hours. Explained in Notifications. |
| Integrations | Connect the stores and accounts Tranzio works with, which improves automatic game detection. |
| Language | The app's own language, plus the languages you read, so Home highlights translations that are actually for you. |
| Storage | How much disk space Tranzio has used, broken down by what it holds, and the target you set for the audio cache. |
| Privacy | Diagnostics, crash reports, Incognito mode, and your public visibility. Big enough to have its own page. |
| About | Your app version and updates to Tranzio itself. |
| Danger zone | Reset your settings to defaults, or delete your account. Both ask twice. |
Your profile
Your name, your handle (the short name after the @, which is how people find you) and your picture. This is what other people see next to your translations, in the forum and in messages. Change any of it here; it saves as you go. Your email and password live under Security.
The app's language
The language Tranzio's own menus, buttons and messages are in. It has nothing to do with the games: each translation you make or install chooses its own language. Pick the one you read most comfortably; you can change it any time.
Connected accounts
Other accounts you have linked to Tranzio, such as the one you sign in with. Nothing is connected unless you connect it here, and you can disconnect it again from the same place.
AI credits
Credits pay for help from an AI, such as translating a batch of lines or listening to a voice clip. Paid plans include a monthly amount; anyone can buy more here. A credit is spent only on what the AI actually does, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Deleting your account
The last section removes your account and everything in it: your profile, your messages, and the translations you published. It asks twice, because it cannot be undone. The games on your computer are not touched, and translations you installed keep working.
Nothing to apply
Every control here commits the moment you touch it. The pill in the corner of the section is the receipt: it says Saved just now for a beat, then settles back to All changes saved. There is no Save button, so leaving the page mid-thought loses nothing.

A minute on security
Two things in the Security section are worth doing today. First, a strong password; the meter reacts as you type, so aim for the green:
Second, two-factor authentication. Once enabled, signing in on a new device asks for a six-digit code from your authenticator app, which means a leaked password alone can't reach your account or your published work:
The same section lists every device with a live session, each with the date it signed in. Anything you don't recognize is a reason to sign out everywhere and change your password, in that order.
Storage: what's on disk
This section shows the space Tranzio has taken. The usage ring is the part worth reading: it counts only what the app itself wrote, broken into the same buckets you see on the Tools page.
- Game data12.4 GB
- Builds & patches3.2 GB
- Audio cache1.9 GB
- Extract cache6.8 GB
- Free on disk23.7 GB
Two caches, both regenerable. Everything else on the ring is work you'd miss.
Caches are the regenerable part. The audio cache holds decoded game audio so lines play instantly in the Studio, and the extract cache holds unpacked game files so the next build starts fast. Both come back on their own the next time they're needed, so what they cost you is disk, never work.
The cache limit slider is a target for the audio cache, not a cap. It starts at the top of its range, so it stays out of your way until you decide on a smaller ceiling. Nothing deletes cached audio behind your back; when the cache grows past the number you set, Tranzio tells you, wherever you happen to be in the app, and the message carries a link straight back to this page.
When Tranzio updates itself
Separately from the translations you install, the app keeps itself current. Every launch it asks whether a newer Tranzio exists, and the starting screen is where that gets resolved: if there's a new version, it downloads on the spot and the app restarts into it, before you're looking at anything. No prompt, no reminder later, no running last month's build because a dialog was easy to dismiss.
Updating Tranzio
44.1 MB of 95.9 MB · 6.2 MB/s
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| A new version at launch | It downloads on the starting screen and the app restarts into it. The whole thing is usually a few seconds longer than a normal start. |
| A new version while you're working | A small bar appears at the bottom of the window with a Restart now button. It waits for you: nothing closes mid-sentence, and the update installs whenever you next quit anyway. |
| A slow or interrupted download | The launch stops waiting and Tranzio opens as usual. The download carries on in the background and hands over to that same bar. |
| You'd rather check yourself | Settings, About, Check now. The same section shows the version you're on and which release channel it came from. |
If the restart doesn't happen on its own, the starting screen offers you the two buttons itself: Restart now, or continue into Tranzio and update later. That's a fallback for the rare case where the installer needs a nudge, not something you should expect to see.
Common questions
Is installing a translation safe for my game?
Yes. Tranzio saves a restore point before it changes anything and never touches your save files. You can revert any install at any time. The full explanation is in How translations work.
Do I need an account to install translations?
During the open beta, yes, but it's free. The account is also what lets you build and publish your own translations, rate adaptations, and message teams.
What does a paid plan add?
Convenience for heavy users: several downloads at once, a larger queue, and private adaptations. Translations themselves are always free. See Subscription & Premium.
A game I want isn't in the catalog. What now?
Nobody has published a translation for it yet. If you own the game you can be the one who does: Translate a game is the first step. Note that during the open beta Tranzio supports Unreal Engine 4 and 5 games, with more engines on the way, so some games are waiting on engine support rather than on a translator.
Where is my translation work stored?
Locally, on your computer, saved automatically as you type. Nothing leaves your machine until you publish. Details in Accounts, plans & your data.
Tranzio is using a lot of disk space. What can I remove?
Open Storage and look at the ring. Anything labelled a cache is safe to clear and comes back by itself; everything else is your work. If you want the same panel with a per-bucket breakdown, the Tools page has it.
Can't find a setting? Search indexes app screens too, so typing "quiet hours" or "storage" jumps you straight to the right section. The sidebar has its own filter box as well, which is quicker when you're already on the page.
