Preamble
I saw this game browsing through for F2P games and it reminded me of another game in the similar vein as this: Changed. I downloaded it and started playing it and realized it had no translations for English players (yet). I took my time to sift through each letter one by one and translated it imperfectly and had a realization. A 3 hour game will take me about 50 hours to experience what it has to offer. I ended up finding faster methods to a complete solution to my problem. So here is a guide on how I did it.
How to quickly auto translate
Step 1
Screen Grabbing
There are various methods to do this, I don't want to take extra time by having you download some random screen grabber off the net, so I'll tell you 2 methods for doing this on Windows. the first may may not exists after some time because the software for it is moving to a different program which is a little bit slower.


Method 1: Snipping Tool
If the program is gone way after this is written, The next tool Windows give that does this is called 'Snip & Sketch'

You can find this on a windows computer at any time by searching for it through Windows Cortana or Program Search in earlier versions




To use the tool, press [New] and a bounding box will come up
Select the region you want to snip and it will grab it for you.
You want to copy it to you clipboard via pressing [Ctrl] and [C] at the same time


Method 2: Print Screen
On most games, this only works in windowed or windowed full screen mode

On your keyboard, to the right of [F12] is a key labeled [PrtScn]
Pressing this key will take a picture of your entire screen (Including multiple monitors) and insert it to your clipboard. If you press [PrtScn] and at the same time press [Alt], you will take a picture of only the active window.

Step 2
You now have an image pasted to your clipboard, the alternative is to save it directly as an image, but this takes time.

You want to go to a website called Yandex Translate as this has the only Text from an Image grabber that auto translates with multiple languages

Link: Yandex Translate[translate.yandex.com]

This website can translate raw text, full websites, or even images.
In the toolbar switch it over to the image page

You can see 2 language options. The game's language is Chinese so you want the first option to be Chinese and the second option to be the language you are most familiar with

When that is set, all you have to do now is Paste the image you want to translate in
You can do this by pressing [Ctrl] and [V] at the same time

When you paste the image in, there is one last option that you will have to switch between interchangeably depending on the text.

In the upper left you will have to set it to either Line or Block recognition

Now to pull your text, click on any yellow block that appears
Notes
This is no replacement for a Linguist or an official Translator down the line. Text you get will not be 100% accurate, even if it's not in the right language like I did for an hour, or the program wont recognize it correctly. Use it at your own risk.
