"An ability that triggers whenever you tap a creature for mana triggers only if you activate a mana ability of a creature including {T} in its cost."

my setup is pretty similar
source text on the left monitor
current translation file and old translation files (mostly to make sure I translate SFX consistently, but sometimes to reference older lines) on the middle monitor, both at half-width
misc reference windows on the right monitor

Glad you liked it! I absolutely adored the Pirates chapter. Operations is probably my favorite squad, and getting to see what happened when their Dedicated Tsukkomi stopped tsukkomi-ing was a hoot.
