TRANSLATION THAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Reading something in a language you do not speak yet? Penguin Viewer recognizes the text and translates it where it sits.
Manga: the translation lands right over the speech bubbles, vertical Japanese included
Novels: translate a sentence or the whole page and read it beside the original, with dictionary lookups for single words
Pre-translate a whole book so every page opens already translated
Download language models ahead of time and translate offline
Runs fully on device, so your pages are never sent anywhere
