Interpreter – Offline screen translator for Japanese retro games
- darcien 9mo agoNice, I wonder how the banner would work for menu or any complex screen that's not a single sentence. In the past, I've used MORT to play some Japanese MMO game. In-place overlay makes it easier to actually play the game instead of doing dictionary lookup on the side. These days I stopped using realtime translator and just embrace the slow pace of learning these languages while enjoying the game story.

- surrTurr 9mo agoRelated - this one also works with manga: https://github.com/SethRobinson/UGTLive https://github.com/SethRobinson/UGTLive
- TehCorwiz 9mo agoLooks like the main difference is that UGTLive calls out to Gemini. This one runs locally.

- haunter 9mo agoI wonder how does it work with multi button multi menu games like Pro Yakyū Spirits
- self_awareness 9mo ago> Inplace overlay on Wayland only works with fullscreen windows (Wayland's security model prevents knowing window positions). "Security is more important than usability. In a perfect world, no one would be able to use anything!"
- kalind 9mo agoNice! I wrote a script similar to this that triggers when I take a screenshot with Flameshot, OCR's the screenshot using an API and opens web page with the OCR'd text. I prefer to use a Japanese to Japanese dictionary when possible which I have as a browser extension (yomitan). I like that this approach doesn't require an external API.
- 999900000999 9mo agoVery very cool! I imagine this is more for turn based games though.
- butz 9mo agoWhat translation quality can be expected form such "tiny" model, especially for older games with text only in hiragana? Is there any context memory, or is each sentence translated as standalone?
- butz 9mo agoI'll answer to my own question with one fine translation: "It's called a pine tree, and it's a pine tree. It's a pine tree. It's a pine tree. It's a pine tree." Hint: original text had no mention of pine trees. All jokes aside, some sentences were translated correctly and, most important, with only about 1s of delay on CPU.
- terrycody 9mo agoNot techy at all, may I ask how to run it on windows 10/11?
- terrycody 9mo agoAnd does it work when you running an amulator inside windows OS?
- lunias 9mo agoAwesome stuff. +100 cool points for using a local model
- bitxbitxbitcoin 9mo agoNeed one but for Chinese!
