Game Screen Translator
Translate the text a game puts on your screen: menus, quests, item tooltips and dialogue. Part of Unitra AI, alongside real-time voice chat translation.
Overview
When the Game Is Not in Your Language
Plenty of games never get localized. A Japanese RPG with no English build, a Chinese MMO with an untranslated skill tree, a Korean survival game whose entire crafting menu is a wall of characters. The game is playable. Reading it is the problem.
A screen translator solves that by working on the pixels rather than the game files. No mod, no patch, no waiting for a publisher to fund localization, and nothing that breaks when the game updates.
Snip a Region
Drag a box around the quest log, the shop, or whatever is in front of you, and get the text back in your language.
Paste a Screenshot
Copy a screenshot and press Ctrl+V in the app. The text in the image is recognized and translated on the spot.
Gaming Vocabulary
The same models used for voice, tuned on item names, skill descriptions, quest phrasing and slang that generic translators mangle.
Where We Are
On Demand Today, Automatic Next
Being straight about this matters more than sounding complete, so here is the honest split of what Unitra AI does with screen text.
| Status | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Snip and screenshot translation | Available now | You trigger it, one image at a time. Menus, quests, tooltips, dialogue, anything drawn on screen. |
| Typed and pasted text | Available now | Drop chat messages, patch notes or announcements into the input box and read them in your language. |
| Voice chat translation | Available now, real time | Continuous. Teammate comms translated into an in-game overlay in about 1 second. |
| Continuous automatic screen translation | On the roadmap | Screen text picked up as it changes and drawn into the overlay with no action from you. Not shipped yet. |
What automatic screen translation will look like
The target is on-screen text that follows the game on its own: subtitles as they appear, dialogue as it advances, menus as you open them, rendered in the same click-through overlay that already carries voice translations. One app watching both the audio and the screen, rather than an OCR tool stacked next to a voice tool, each with its own overlay, hotkeys and bill.
It is not available today, and we would rather you download the app knowing that than find out afterwards. When it ships it arrives as an update to the app you already have, at no extra cost on paid tiers. If it is the only thing you need and you need it now, a dedicated OCR tool will serve you better this month.

Anti-Cheat
How the Screen Is Captured Matters
Screen translators are not all equally safe to run next to a competitive game. Many of them hook the graphics renderer or inject into the game process to grab frames, which is precisely the behaviour anti-cheat systems are built to detect.
Unitra AI does none of that. It does not hook DirectX or OpenGL, does not inject code into the game process, does not read or write game memory, does not modify game files, and does not send keyboard or mouse input to the game. Screenshots go through the ordinary capture path Windows already exposes to every application, and the overlay is a separate window drawn on top. For the overlay to stay visible, run the game in borderless windowed mode.
One App
Screen Text Is Half the Problem
Most players who need a screen translator eventually need the other half too. You read your way through a foreign-language menu, then join a lobby and someone starts talking.
That is why screen, text and voice sit in one app on one quota here. The main game translator page covers the voice side: microphone and desktop audio captured together, speech recognized on your device, and translations in an in-game overlay in about one second.

FAQ
Screen Translation Questions, Answered
What is a game screen translator?
A game screen translator reads text that a game draws on your screen, such as menus, quest logs, item descriptions, subtitles and dialogue boxes, and shows it in your language. It works on the pixels rather than on the game's files, so it needs no mod, no patch and no publisher support, and it works on games that were never localized.
How does Unitra AI translate on-screen text?
Take a snip of the region you care about, or copy a screenshot and paste it into the app with Ctrl+V. The text in the image is recognized and translated using the same models that handle voice chat, which are tuned for gaming vocabulary: item names, skill descriptions, quest phrasing and slang. It runs when you ask for it, one image at a time.
Does Unitra AI translate the screen automatically while I play?
Not yet. Today the screen translator is on demand: you snip or paste, and you get a translation back. Continuous automatic screen translation, where text is picked up as it changes and drawn into the in-game overlay without any action from you, is on the roadmap and has not shipped. The part of Unitra AI that already runs continuously is voice chat translation.
Is a screen translator safe to use with anti-cheat?
It depends on how the tool captures the screen. Many screen translators hook the graphics renderer or inject into the game process to grab frames, which is exactly the behaviour anti-cheat systems look for. Unitra AI does not hook DirectX or OpenGL, does not inject code, does not read or write game memory, does not modify game files and does not send input to the game. Screenshots go through the same capture path Windows already gives every application.
Which languages does the screen translator support?
The same 20 languages as the rest of the app: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Armenian, Georgian, Arabic and Persian, with coverage continuing to expand.
Do I need a separate app for voice and screen translation?
No. Voice chat translation, typed text translation and screenshot translation are all in the same Unitra AI desktop app, on one account and one quota. Most players end up needing more than one of them, and running a voice tool next to a separate OCR tool means two installs, two subscriptions and two sets of settings.
Is Unitra AI free?
Yes, free to start. During the open beta the free tier includes a weekly quota shared across voice, text and image translation. No credit card needed.
