AFKLiveTranslate is a lightweight Windows tray app that translates on-screen text. Draw a region over text (OCR) and get a clean translated overlay in place while keeping the background visible — great for websites, apps, documents and video subtitles. Local translation is included, with optional BYOK premium providers (DeepL, Azure Translator, Google Translate v2, LibreTranslate). No account required; no telemetry by default. First run downloads a language pack (one-time per language).

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built AFKLiveTranslate because I wanted a “read as you go” translator for on-screen content (websites, apps, docs, subtitles) without switching tabs. How it works: • Click the tray icon → draw a region over text → get a clean translated overlay (background stays visible) • Works with scrolling/changing pages (re-draw when needed) • Auto language detection + glossary support + caching for repeated lines Translation options: • Local translation included • Optional BYOK premium APIs: DeepL, Azure Translator, Google Translate v2, LibreTranslate Note: on first run, AFKLiveTranslate downloads a language pack (one-time per language), which may take a few minutes depending on your connection. Happy to answer questions and take feedback.
