FAQ
Common Questions
How do I avoid losing scene pace with frequent lookups?+
Limit checks to key unknown terms and keep each hover OCR action short before resuming dialogue.
Should I translate full lines or prioritize term-level checks?+
Prioritize term-level checks first. Use full-line translation only when context remains unclear after lookup.
Can this workflow handle long untranslated routes?+
Yes. The repeat loop is designed for long sessions with consistent drag-hover OCR behavior.
