Any Translator Programs from Chinese - English

[ithelps]

I see a lot of Chinese people have translator on their computer. They just hoover their mouse on the words they want to be translated and then it gets translated. I am trying to broadcast myself on a Chinese website called huya.com, but I can't read Chinese and really need a translator. I can't copy and paste on Google translate because it is a program. Is there any program out there that can translate when I hoover my mouse over it? Let me show you an example of what I mean.

There a few that will do that, if you are using chrome then you can use Zongwen, if you are using firefox (not the latest update) you can use perapera and there are others.

 

But if the characters are a picture as they often are on programs like your example then it won't recognise it.

 

You can use a program like Pleco and draw in the characters with your finger on the screen of a smart phone or tablet or purchase the addon and use the OCR to capture a picture with the camera and it will translate it for you. Here is Pleco http://www.pleco.com/

 

The mouse over option will only work if the characters are actually a font and not a picture of a character. The characters are displayed using Unicode. There is more information available if you do a search for it on the net.

I'm pretty sure I got that feature for free.

On their website it lists it as an addon for $9,99 here https://www.pleco.com/androidpricing.html

 

Its on my phone as a demo Addon,  you can't look up definitions or pronunciation or create flashcards and copy and save texts with the demo.

Oh. That was a demo then. I never really used it actually. I installed that feature and from then on the icon started to appear on my screen without me having to pay anything but I never really used it (i got rid of it some months ago because I wanted space on my screen but I remember I could check definitions... not that sure though).
