Automatic translation of software

[Y-PLONI]

Description

Text from any window displayed in any language can be collected using built-in tools. Here is an example code:

`# pip install pywinauto from pywinauto import Desktop

desktop = Desktop(backend="uia")

for window in desktop.windows(): print(f"WINDOW: {window.window_text()}")

for element in window.descendants():
    if element.element_info.control_type == "Text":
        print(f"  TEXT: {element.window_text()}")

`

I would appreciate it if you could create a feature that automatically translates any window that the software identifies as being in a language different from my own.

Application Scenario

for programs that are not translated

Thank you for the response. I don't know how to do this myself, so I would appreciate it if you could create something ready for this. Please note that obtaining the text from the screen in the way I suggested is much better than any OCR because it gets the text directly from the operating system. I don't know how to code; I simply asked GPT how the Windows text reader [NARRATOR] gets the text from the screen, and eventually, this code came out... I thought of something much more sophisticated: consider an idea where the software constantly checks if text from a specific application does not appear on the screen, so every mouse click event would trigger another text check. This way, no one would have issues with software in other languages; your software would simply recognize the text and translate it on the side of the screen [or better yet, above the original text]. That would be wonderful!!!
