Is Screen Translate free?
Daily free use is available. Daily rewards and supported rewarded videos can provide extra VIP time. Membership benefits are shown in the app. Batch comic translation has a daily page allowance, including for VIP members. Rewards can differ between app store versions; the Huawei AppGallery version has no videos, and the app shows what is available.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Translation needs a connection. Text recognition can run on your phone: Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Devanagari are recognised on the device, and cloud OCR engines are there for images that are hard to read.
How do I translate a game?
Turn on the floating ball in the app and allow it to display over other apps. Open your game and tap the ball to translate the screen. Region translation targets dialogue boxes and menus, and Auto translation follows the story without any tapping.
Which languages are supported?
More than 100, including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hindi and Turkish.
What happens to the text on my screen?
Screen capture and the Accessibility Service support reading visible text for translation. With an online engine, recognised text is sent to the selected translation service. Local OCR handles recognition on the device; online translation and cloud OCR require a connection.
Which download should I choose?
Use the app store that came with your phone. If your phone has no Google Play, for example in mainland China, download the APK from this page. It checks for updates by itself.
How do I translate multiple comic pages?
You can select multiple images, up to 30 per batch. A longer chapter can be split into batches. The available daily allowance is shown in the app.
