    From what I've read about the localization system, it requires specific definitions of words/phrases to be defined in the editor. Is there a way to auto-translate, say, an external comic book script that I would pull from a json file on the fly?

    No machine translation is not something we support and would not recommend using it.
    There are shortfalls with using MT that we do not want to encourage. For example: https://www.lionbridge.com/blog/tra.../machine-translation-and-catastrophic-errors/

    Someone did make a plugin for the package that does Google translate https://github.com/MaksymHernets/AutoTranslateForUnityLocalization

    Just try not to rely on pure machine translation or you may end up with some embarrassing or offensive mistakes.
