Getting started

1. Pick your languages

At the top of the Screen translation page — the first page in NativeLens — is the language row: the game’s or video’s language → your language. Yours is filled in from Windows. Pick the other one once; until you do, NativeLens won’t start translating and only reminds you to choose. The same choice is shared with Listen and Speak.

2. Run one-click setup

Not tested on a fresh install yet.

Under the languages, a One-click setup row shows what your settings still need — screen text recognition, speech recognition, voices, the local translation model — and the total size. Click it to install everything in order; click again to cancel, and it picks up where it left off next time. If something fails, the row says so; click to retry. When nothing is missing, the row goes away.

3. Learn four shortcuts

Shortcut	Name in the app	What it does
Alt + A	Translate region	Drag a box; it’s translated once
Alt + S	Screenshot	Drag a box; it opens in the screenshot editor
Alt + D	Live translation	Box an area; it stays translated as it changes
Esc	Clear	Hides translations and stops live translation

To change them, click Change keys on the Screen translation page.
