Can Jarvis Translate Foreign-Language Apps?

Ask Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), a screen-aware desktop AI assistant, what a foreign-language app window says. A German banking site, a Japanese settings menu, or an untranslated dashboard all work: press Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows over the window. It reads the visible interface text, translates each label in context, and tells you which button submits the form. Press Cmd+/ (macOS) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) over the window and ask "what does this screen say?" or "which button submits the form?" Jarvis captures the visible UI text and routes it to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, both strong multilingual models, to translate labels in context and guide you step by step. Unlike a page translator, it works on native desktop apps and images of text, not just web pages. It can save a glossary to Notion. It never trains on your screen. A free plan (40 requests/week); the Pro plan is $16/month.

Browser translators only handle web pages and often mangle short UI labels because they lack context. Jarvis reads the whole visible screen, so a single ambiguous word like a German "Senden" or a Japanese menu item is translated knowing it is a button on a form, not prose. Ask "walk me through this checkout," and it tells you which field is the postal code, which checkbox is the newsletter opt-in, and which button confirms payment. frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google both handle dozens of languages and the terse, idiomatic phrasing typical of app menus, so the guidance is practical, not literal word-for-word.

Because Jarvis reads pixels and on-screen text rather than HTML, it translates places a page translator cannot: a native macOS or Windows desktop app, a screenshot a colleague sent, a PDF in another language, error dialogs, or text inside an image. That makes it useful for navigating foreign government portals, configuring software localized only in another language, or reading a vendor invoice. It can build a running glossary of recurring terms into a Notion page or Google Doc so the second time you hit that screen you already know it. Everything stays in your encrypted session on GDPR-aligned infrastructure servers.
