Why this feels different
Most translation tools make you stop what you were doing. Screenshot, open another app, crop the image, read the result, then find your place again.
PiP Translate keeps the source app alive. The translation appears in a small window that can be moved, pinned, and checked while the original screen stays visible.
It feels less like translating a screenshot and more like turning on subtitles for the phone.

Useful across common languages. OCR quality still depends on text size, contrast, motion, and font style.
No Screenshot Loop
Control translation without losing the screen
The hard part is not translating one phrase. It is staying oriented after every crop, share sheet, gallery switch, and app reload. PiP Translate keeps the work on the screen you were already using.
✓ Pause translation before private content appears.
✓ Move the window away from buttons, subtitles, or form fields.
✓ Keep the original visible for names, prices, dates, and context.
✓ Copy the result only when you need it elsewhere.

Use Cases
Works where the built-in translate button disappears
The app is useful precisely in messy places: image-heavy screens, menus, captions, imported apps, shopping flows, and pages where the text is visible but not selectable.
Manga readers
Speech bubbles, menus, and chapter screens stay visible while the translation floats above the page.
Japanese games
Event notices, quest text, gacha banners, and settings can be checked without leaving the game.
Shopping apps
Coupons, return rules, delivery notes, size charts, and product specs become readable in place.
Travel screens
Transit apps, ticket machines, maps, kiosks, and booking flows can be understood step by step.
Video feeds
Captions, comments, creator bios, and embedded text can be translated when the app offers no language switch.
Study mode
Keep the original text nearby so translation helps you learn instead of replacing the source.
What Users Need
Translate the moments that normally make you stop
The value is not a settings list. It is getting through the screen in front of you: the chapter, the game event, the checkout, the ticket, the caption, the form.
Use case notes
The best moments are boring screens becoming readable
I can keep the page open and check the line without hunting through screenshots.
Manga readerUseful for the boring details: station labels, ticket rules, and tiny confirmation screens.
Japan travelerIt helps with event notices and item descriptions when the global version is months behind.
Game playerTrust
No account just to understand a screen
You start the screen translation flow yourself from iOS. Use it for the screen in front of you, then stop when you are done. No account wall before trying the core workflow.
Translate the current screen, then get back to reading, playing, shopping, or traveling.
Built for quick sessions
Start and stop from iOS, so the user stays in control of when translation is active.

FAQs
If you cannot find the answer below, email us from the footer.
Does it work inside other apps?
Yes. It reads visible text from the screen after you start the iOS broadcast flow, then shows a floating translation window.
Is there a browser extension?
No. The point is that it works over native iPhone apps, games, readers, and feeds, not just websites.
Does it store my screen?
The app is designed for live translation, not screen archiving. You start and stop the screen flow yourself from iOS.
Why is translation sometimes imperfect?
Small text, stylized fonts, animation, handwriting, and cropped captions can reduce OCR and translation quality.
