ramjke/Translumo

Advanced real-time screen translator for games, hardcoded subtitles in videos, static text and etc.

What it solves

Translumo is a real-time screen translator designed to translate text appearing on a PC screen—specifically optimized for games—without requiring the user to manually copy and paste text into a translator.

How it works

The tool captures a user-defined area of the screen and processes it using integrated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines. It can combine multiple OCR engines (Windows OCR and EasyOCR) simultaneously and uses a machine learning model to score and select the best result for higher precision. The recognized text is then sent to a translation service (Google Translate, DeepL, or Yandex Translate) and displayed as an overlay on the screen.

Who it’s for

It is primarily aimed at gamers who want to translate in-game text in real-time, but it is also suitable for any user needing to translate text from applications that do not allow text selection.

Highlights

  • Multi-Engine OCR: Combines Windows OCR and EasyOCR to handle unusual fonts and busy backgrounds.
  • Low Latency: Optimized for minimal delay between text appearance and translation.
  • Broad Language Support: Supports recognition for English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, and translation into dozens of languages.
  • Flexible Translation APIs: Integrates with Google Translate, DeepL, and Yandex Translate.
