Built an open source translator for Genshin/HSR!
I've been building a subtitle translation app for Hoyoverse games over the last few months. It runs in the background and puts a translated subtitle on top of the in-game dialogue, so you can play with the original voiceover and still follow what's happening. It's called Kaption and the code is public on github if anyone wants to poke at it.

Polish is the only language I've fully done so far. It's my native one, so that was the obvious starting point. Some PL Genshin communities have picked it up recently and a couple of people told me it's the first time they actually understand the lore, which was nice to hear.
Trying to figure out what to localize next now, both for Genshin and HSR:
- Arabic, partly because the right-to-left layout would be fun to build and that's a sizable player group not served in-game
- Italian or Turkish, both have a lot of HSR players with no in-game option
- Or honestly, whatever language the community actually wants
If you (or friends you play with) end up stuck reading English you don't fully follow, what would actually be useful? Also open to any feature ideas!
