# AutoTrans

**Real-time in-game translation (no text floating outside the game)**

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/z157wE96HZQ>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
AutoTrans may not work with all games and can affect performance. Because it translates text in real-time within the game, you may experience lag while the game waits for translation responses. This can cause lower frame rates or brief delays during gameplay.
{% endhint %}

1. Select **AutoTrans** from the module list
2. Click **Browse** and select the game executable
3. Click the **Start** button to launch the game with AutoTrans

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** AutoTrans does not create translation patches for games. The translations are injected directly into the game in real-time. This means you need to run the game through AutoTrans each time you want to play with translations enabled.
