Seems useful at times, I had a game start up in Chinese recently, and had to use Google translate from my phone camera to figure out how to change it back to English.
Seems neat, though I don’t have a use for it.
It’d be much more helpful to me if it just used those OCR boxes to provide mouse-over dictionary lookups via yomitan rather than a translation.
Right now I use Google Lens for that, but that means I’m sharing selected text into a dictionary app or chatgpt, or gambling on Google search just giving me the JP->EN definition with no prompting besides the word itself.
As someone who’s never had a problem “being the product” I’ve since changed my tune thanks to AI.
The less software I have spying on me, the better.
(I’m sure they’re not straight up spying but you have to be screen grabbing / recording to make this work)
I’ve literally never had a use for something like this.
Oh i have this is gonna be awesome for untranslated games
Yeah, it’s definitely more for a specific groups of people, such as those who play old untranslated emulated titles and such.
Hm, I see. Like old Japan exclusive titles. Haven’t thought about that.
A bit weird to implement it as Decky plugin then, because basically everything on Steam is available in English.You can play non-steam games on a deck
Its basically for emulators
I’ve also run into games on steam that specifically failed to identify my language on Linux. I can generally tell what options I need to pick to change a language back to English, but some langauges like Chinese and Korean are difficult to to navigate.
