Could you build this?

Partial A UI and overlay can be vibe-coded around open-source OCR and offline translation models, but reliable real-time capture of game windows and accurate OCR on stylized game fonts is hard.

What it would actually take: A real version would combine screen or window capture (DXGI/Windows Graphics Capture), a fast OCR engine such as PaddleOCR or Tesseract with preprocessing, and an offline translation model such as NLLB or Argos Translate, all in a low-latency overlay. Getting good accuracy across game fonts and keeping latency low without hurting game FPS requires computer-vision and performance-tuning experience, plus per-game testing.
