Is there a software that can translate to your preferred language in while using another software i.e you download a file only to find some text is in Russian. Which software can I get to the text translated to English?

  • Haven't tried any. I thought Google translate translatez websites. I downloaded a game and wanted to add a text in a certain file but I found it was in Chinese. So locating where to place my text is impossible.

As no better answers have been put forward I'll suggest good old Google translate, if non copyable text is what you need to translate, Google translate can translate from pictures so you could screenshot the text or program. Hope this is what you were looking for.

You can try MacLinguist, it basically does what you asked: you select a chunk of text in any application, double-press Control and have the translation pop up (you can also replace currently selected text with the translation if you press Alt, while holding Control). It works for both Mac and Windows: enter image description here
