Based on current options, here are 2 solid screenshot translators for PC, covering different needs.

1. DeepL Screenshot Translator (Windows/Mac desktop app)

Known for its neural network-driven translation accuracy — generally considered better than Google Translate for nuance and phrasing. It offers quick translations anywhere without switching apps, and it integrates with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Best if translation quality matters most to you (e.g., professional or academic use).

2. PDNob Screenshot Translator

Uses OCR technology to translate images on screen, text from pictures, screenshots, and documents in any program or browser, with support for editing/copying results, customizable hotkeys, and offline OCR. It works entirely offline, handles over 50 files at once, and supports images up to 100 MB — a good pick if privacy (no cloud upload) and batch processing matter to you.

Note: accuracy for all of these drops with stylized fonts, handwriting, or low-res screenshots — clean, well-lit standard text translates most reliably.
