Finally got a screen translator that seems to work fairly well. I believe it's using Google translates' offline model.
What's the best way to respond to my new friends in a way that translates correctly (simplified chinese)?
Bonus question, how does one add both English and Chinese video subtitles without typing out what I say and translate/copy/pasting?
Apparently they use a lot of their own idioms which is cool, but yeah they probably won't know "ours."
As for the bonkers words idk how to verify that. For a laugh though, there's a YouTuber Sora the Troll that has videos that cover that kind of thing for English to Japanese
