English only mods on Japanese Skyrim SE

[Cambionn]

So, I've been playing Skyrim SE in Japanese to practice as I'm learning the language for work (after 2000+ hours I know the game well enough to not have to worry about not being able to truly understand everything, but generally I can find out what it is about and what I'm saying in conversation based on the Japanese I know + knowing the game). I've been studying for 24 weeks now trough a university (fast-paced), but compared to native I'm obviously still extremely on the basics for a lot of things.

As much as possible, I've changed my mods to the Japanese version of them. However, I've not been able to find a Japanese version for all mods I use, and some mods are altered or made by me (before I put it to Japanese) to begin with. Now, I know the Japanese mod community does a lot of cool stuff and there are some Japanese modding websites, but I can't always follow everything well enough yet to really get it.

I wonder, is there anyone who ever made a program/script to convert English mods to Japanese? Even if it's just something simple that converts names of NPCs to katakana, but the more it can do the better ofc. Or is doing this manually trough CK still the only way to get it all translated (even when it's just simple things like a Character overhaul making half the names English while the other half is still in katakana). Most of my mods only replace vanilla stuff (small changes to gameplay and the description adapted to that, like Custom Fit perk working without a helmet) or alter appearance, I don't really add pieces of gameplay or add new NPCs or dialog, so it's really just names and some very simple/short sentences that I need converted. I think a script might be able to convert okay-ish.

I do know of tools like xtranslator, but then I still have to do it manually for the mods that have no translation made. Which in some cases, can be quite a lot of work, especially for something that is relatively simple in itself. I assume there isn't an option like that, but considering I can't always understand the Japanese sites well, I figured it's work asking.

If it matters, I do have the latest update, SKSE and ENB running (by installing the Japanese version of the game, renaming the folder, installing the English version of the game, then have Japanese language related files overwrite the English ones).

On a small sidenote, I noticed that even with the Japanese version installed, I can't type my characters name in kana. Is there a way to make the game support this? It's kinda dumb you can translate the whole game including sound, but no one bothered to allow the use of an IME (using Google Japanese Input, but for something this small I could quickly change to Windows IME if really needed).
