Translo - Screen Translate
Real-time screen OCR translation with overlay display
Overview
Translo is a macOS screen translation tool that lets you select any region on your screen for instant OCR recognition and live translation — displayed as a semi-transparent overlay directly on the original text. Switch to mouse hover mode and translations appear automatically wherever your cursor moves. OCR runs entirely on-device so your content never leaves your Mac. Supports multiple translation engines including Apple Translate, Youdao, Google, and local LLMs for fully offline translation across 15 languages. Useful for watching foreign videos, gaming, reading academic papers, and navigating foreign software.
