Could you build this?
Partial A basic Android app can be vibe-coded, but reliable on-screen translation that tracks content and keeps touch passthrough requires Accessibility or MediaProjection APIs, OCR, and an overlay system that is fiddly across Android versions.
What it would actually take: A native Android app (Kotlin) combining MediaProjection screen capture or an AccessibilityService for text extraction, on-device or cloud OCR (ML Kit or similar), a translation API, and a TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY window with touch passthrough. The hard parts are keeping translations in sync with scrolling content with low latency and handling Android permission and OEM restrictions, which calls for Android systems experience and testing across devices.
