After downloading, unzip the archive and run Translumo.exe.
Version 1.0.x includes many changes and improvements compared to versions 0.9.x. You can view the full list of updates on the Releases page.
-
High text recognition precision
Translumo allows combining multiple OCR engines simultaneously. It uses a machine learning model to score each OCR result and selects the best one.
-
Game oriented
Designed for real-time translation in PC games, but works anywhere on the screen with any application. -
Low latency
Several optimizations reduce system impact and minimize latency between text appearance and translation. -
Integrated modern OCR engines: Windows OCR (recommended), Tesseract 5.2 (legacy), EasyOCR (legacy)
-
Available translators: DeepL (recommended), Google Translate, Yandex Translate, Naver Papago.
-
Supported recognition languages: English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean.
-
Supported translation languages: English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Arabic, Greek, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Belarusian, Persian, Indonesian, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Dutch, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Ukrainian.

- Define the capture area: press Alt+Q and select an area on the screen
- Run translation (press ~)
- It is recommended to use WindowsOCR only.
Tesseract is old, slow, and produces many errors.
EasyOCR is even slower, requires significant resources (including a specific GPU), and often leads to bugs.
It’s probably better to remove all other OCR engines and keep only WindowsOCR, but they are still included in Translumo for historical reasons.
Reducing the capture area decreases the chance of picking up random letters from the background. Larger frames take longer to process.
Some translators may block clients sending many requests. Configure personal or shared IPv4 proxies (1-2 is usually enough) under Languages → Proxy tab. The app will alternate proxies to reduce requests from a single IP.
These modes are required for correct translation overlay display. If your game does not support them, use tools like Borderless Gaming.
Q: I get "Failed to capture screen" or nothing happens after translation starts
A: Ensure the target window is active. Restart Translumo or reopen the target window if needed.
Q: Borderless/windowed mode is set, but the translation window is under the game
A: With the game running and focused, press the hotkey (Alt+T by default) to hide and show the translation window.
Q: EasyOCR package download failed
A: Try reinstalling while connected to a VPN.
Q: Hotkeys don't work
A: Other applications may be intercepting hotkeys.
Q: Text detection failed (TesseractOCREngine)
A: Ensure the application path contains only Latin letters.
Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 8 SDK are required.
