Source and downloads:
- Snaps a picture from the HDMI signal, sends it to google to be analyzed for text in any language
- Studies the layout and decides which text is dialog and which bits should be translated line by line
- Overlays the frozen frame and translations over the gameplay HDMI signal
- Allows copy/pasting the original language or looking up a kanji by clicking on it
- Can translate any language to any language without needing any local data as Google is doing all the work, can handle rendering Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc (The font I used is this one)
- Controlled by hotkeys (desktop mode) or a control pad (capture mode, this is where Im playing on a real console but have a second PC controller to control the translation stuff)
- (Added in later versions) Can read the dialog outloud in either the original or translated language
- Can drag a rectangle to only translate a small area (Ctrl-F10 by default)
