PlayTranslate is an open-source Android application for real-time screen translation and language learning. It translates text from games, visual novels, manga, and other applications without interrupting the experience. Users can translate captured screens with one tap or enable automatic translation as dialogue changes. The application recognizes 26 source languages and supports translation into 59 languages. Offline OCR, dictionary lookups, and optional translation models enable usage without internet access. A floating lens provides word definitions, while furigana and pinyin overlays assist with reading. Integration with AnkiDroid and Yomitan helps users build vocabulary through interactive learning. It also supports text-to-speech, camera translation, customizable hotkeys, and dual-screen devices.
