PlayTranslate Files

New in 3.4.1

• Bilibili Index-Translate translation service. Free, with no account or API key: add it under Settings > Translation services. Captured text is sent to Bilibili for translation.
• Fixed the floating icon flashing every few seconds. On some phones the icon kept reappearing and sliding back to the edge, and Auto Translate wouldn't start, because PlayTranslate was still set to capture a screen that no longer exists. It now falls back to the main screen.

New in 3.4.0

Conjugations

• Looked-up words in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, English and Japanese now show which form you tapped (hablamos · nosotros · presente; 飲んでいなかった → 飲む · -て « -いる « Negative « -た), with a conjugation or declension table on the word page. Japanese words also list the other entries they could be. Update your language packs when the app offers it.
• On non-English translation languages, lookups open faster: sections that need machine translation wait behind a "Load more" row.

Floating icon

• The icon no longer turns itself off after a few minutes, and comes back if your phone kills PlayTranslate. The new "Fix disappearing icon" page (Settings > Support) lists the phone settings that keep it running.
• Holding down on the icon now captures the screen by default (change it under Settings > On the floating icon).
• Fixed "Turn On" and the Quick Settings tile not working or showing the wrong state after the screen-capture prompt, a background crash on Android 15+
• Fixed the icon and menus sitting under three-button navigation.

New

• Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) app language, thanks to @Night114514. README in all 13 app languages.
• Report a bug (Settings > Support) emails your logs to support, and accessibility prompts explain how to unblock the switch when Android 13+ greys it out.

Fixes

• Screen capture: rotating no longer blacks out later captures (Android 14+), the icon no longer appears in drag lookups, and quick swipes over the icon menu no longer create stray regions.
• Furigana on wrapped and slanted text, and less work for dual-screen auto-translate.
• Traditional Chinese: changing the OCR engine now takes effect, Anki cards made from History stay Traditional, and Taiwan and Hong Kong phones start with Traditional as the translation language.
• Editing the sentence on a sentence Anki card now updates its translation and words.
• Pop-ups too tall for the screen now scroll instead of hiding their buttons.
