  "description_en": "Linux front end for the GNU Debugger (GDB), focused on games but usable for other reverse engineering; the name stands for “PINCE is not Cheat Engine”. It scans process memory and pointers through libmemscan into a typed address table, and its memory view adds disassembly, an on-the-fly assembler, code dissection for referenced calls, jumps and strings, function, region and instruction searches, and structure overlays, including structures generated from Mono/IL2CPP class dissection of native Linux or Wine/Proton processes. Debugging covers chained breakpoints and watchpoints, tracking of the instructions that access an address, tracing and stack traces, alongside a GDB console and the reusable libpince Python library.",
  "description_zh": "面向 Linux 的 GNU 调试器（GDB）前端，以游戏为主要对象，也可用于其他逆向工程；名称意为“PINCE is not Cheat Engine”。它借助 libmemscan 扫描进程内存和指针，并将结果放入带类型的地址表；内存视图提供反汇编、即时汇编、对引用的调用、跳转和字符串进行代码剖析、函数/内存区域/指令搜索以及结构体叠加查看，其中结构体可由对原生 Linux 或 Wine/Proton 进程中 Mono/IL2CPP 类的剖析自动生成。调试功能包括可链式关联的断点与观察点、追踪访问某地址的指令、执行跟踪和调用栈查看，并提供 GDB 控制台和可复用的 libpince Python 库。",

    "Local development installs run install.sh with APT, Pacman or DNF and need Python 3.11+, PyQt 6.11+ and GDB; Kubuntu 22.04+ and Arch Linux are officially supported, while Debian 12+, Fedora 35+ and openSUSE are only partially supported and not actively tested. The PINCE.sh launcher runs PINCE as root, elevating through pkexec or sudo.",
