ffiv-crafting-macros VS TataruHelper

If you want to make a lot of stuff as reliably HQ crafting macros are your ally. There are tons of sites with macros out there. You can use the TeamCraft site to plug in what you're making, your gear stats and then try out various macros to see if it works.

I talk about that a bit in my repository of crafting macros.

Only at max level, and then only for the really hard recipes. For the level 1 to max, you only need about a dozen macros to get up to the regular level 90 recipes.

I maintain a list here: https://github.com/WuphonsReach/ffiv-crafting-macros

Tataru Helper, yeah.

As for a plugin, I noticed a github link in another reddit thread that seems to a combination of a text hooker, selectable translation resources, and an overlay for just displaying the text that was extracted + translated. I haven't used it personally, but it might fit the description since it just separately displays the translated text instead of messing with the in-game UI/texts.

My husband's first language is Russian and he uses this app called Tataru Helper to translate the game. It's made and mostly used by the Russian-speaking community but supports many languages using machine translation. It's not always perfect, but better than nothing if you don't understand English.
