Universal Translator

Completely reimagine Skyrim’s dialogue. Universal Translator transforms both vanilla and modded lines using custom speech patterns, along with awareness of each NPC’s bio and recent events.

Want Imperials to sound like city folk and Stormcloaks like Southern rebels? Think High Elves should speak Chinese, or Wood Elves Spanish? Want Lucan to talk like a certain real-estate mogul? That’s all possible now.

• Total dialogue replacement
  Never hear the original vanilla dialogue again—unless you explicitly allow it.

• Culture, class, and identity through speech

  • Imperials as refined city folk
  • Stormcloaks with Southern-style rural accents
  • High Elves speaking Chinese
  • Wood Elves speaking Spanish

• Targeted personality overrides
  Want Lucan Valerius to talk like a certain bombastic real-estate mogul?
  You can do that. Precisely. And only for him.

• Context-aware rewriting
  Dialogue is rewritten with awareness of:

  • NPC bios (race, faction, role, personality)
  • Recent memories and world events
  • The player’s actions and reputation

How it works

Using the Universal Translator page in the Customization menu, you define ordered transformation rules that apply to:

• 🌍 Global (all NPCs)
• 🧬 Races
• 🛡️ Factions
• 👤 Individual NPCs

Rules are evaluated top-first, enabling precise whitelists, blacklists, and overrides.

When an NPC speaks:

1. The original voice line is muted
2. The dialogue is rewritten to match the configured speech pattern
3. The new line is spoken using TTS

All without editing dialogue records or patching mods.
