Rationale Behind the Development:

As globalization continues to shape our interactions, effective cross-language communication has become paramount. Recent advancements in neural network machine translation technology promise to enhance this interaction significantly. This app was created to address the fragmentation often experienced between applications when faced with translation needs.

The goal is to alleviate user concerns regarding language barriers while utilizing mobile devices by enabling automatic translations. While a solution at the operating system level would be ideal—allowing direct translation of foreign languages into the user’s native tongue—the absence of relevant interfaces led to focusing on application-level innovation. The introduction of features such as picture-in-picture functionality has made it possible to facilitate cross-application interactions. Thus, the Screen Translation App represents a significant stride towards bridging communication gaps in our multilingual society.
