I ponied up the extra $50 to see if I would get anything extra -- but nope -- It's a direct port/translation of Clip Studio Paint Pro. I believe it's on the 1.0.3-1.1 branch -- so no sexy "dark mode". However, the translation is there and the bonus is that all of the materials are translated and sorted properly.
thanks for the info! when i looking at the language files, they seemed to be on the 1.1 branch.
Unfortunately the materials from Manga Studio will not port over to Clip Studio -- which I pretty much expected, but you can't blame a guy for tryin. The files, and brushes are completely inter-operable so hey, there's that.
from my understanding (on their website), the reason for not providing a downloadable version (yet) is because it wouldn't be compatible with CELSYS's website material/installer.
so it will be interesting to see if CELSYS changes the way they distribute materials to be compatible with English, or if smithmicro will provide a mirrored English site with English users/uploaders.
the materials and categories have always been a constant headache to translate because of the changing database/fileformats!
Myself, after tasting the sweet sweet nectar of "dark mode", I'll be sticking to the original (soooo much easier on the eyes).
yes! and the updates will be much faster than smithmicro can provide (based off past releases they've done)

I am considering a purchase of Clip Paint Studio Pro but I am concerned the support here, which I realize is fully on a volunteer basis, will dry up once Manga Studio 5 and Manga Studio 5 EX surface.
...
I see there is an option to donate on the first post. From what I have seen, all donations are fully deserved. Will translations continue well into the future if the donation goal is reached?
definitely! personally i've fallen in love with CSP and feel it deserves a decent translation. the donations are going towards an EX license and this will enable me to fully check translations/updates (at the moment i'm just doing it through hex editors and Ireal's awesome support!)
i'm also going to write a tutorial on how to translate/update newer versions so that other people have access to the Japanese translation tables (just in case i die or something Q.Q)
Also, kinda an unrelated question... if I buy a license, can i use it interchangeably on both my windows and mac computers?
like julmon (and a few others) i'm running CSP on two (PC) machines with no license issues. i'm not sure on the actual machine limit though.
i've just logged into my CLIP account and my serial is listed as "CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO(for Windows/Mac OS X)" - so it doesn't look like the licenses are platform specific.

Ireal , how about
1. "Creating search index for materials..."
2. "Exported"? "Saved out"? or it might mean "Empty" or "Out of Paper"?
3. "Some materials were not converted. Conversion complete" ?
4. hm, the second part is something about changing from the default folder
5. "Please specify the folder which contains the IllustStudio configuration files.
It's the same folder as shown in the IllustStudio Folder Path preferences."
6. "Please select the folder which contains the folders [Tone] and [Material]"
