Yakutori is Out Now — Launch Discount Live! 🎉

Yakutori is now available on Steam! 🎉

Yakutori is an offline, real‑time screen translator for Japanese games, visual novels, and applications. It watches a window you choose, reads the Japanese on screen, translates it to English, and draws the translation right on top so you can play import titles and untranslated games as if they'd been localized.

Everything runs on your own machine — no cloud, no accounts, no internet required, and nothing you translate ever leaves your PC.

What you get:

  • Real‑time translation overlaid in place over the original text
  • Screen mode (whole window) and Area mode (just the dialogue box)
  • Single or Duo subtitles — English only, or Japanese + English for learners
  • Built‑in furigana, a Japanese dictionary, and one‑click Anki flashcard export
  • 100% offline & private

Launch Discount 🎉 To celebrate the release, Yakutori is 38% off for 10 days!

Thank you for checking out Yakutori. We hope it opens up a whole library of Japanese games for you. As with any machine translation it won't be perfect, but it's already good enough to enjoy Feedback is very welcome!
