## Description

Dango-Translator is an OCR translation system and multi-engine translation client designed to extract text from images or screens and replace it with translated content. It functions as an image text translator and real-time screen translator, utilizing optical character recognition to convert text between different languages automatically.

The software distinguishes itself through coordinate-based image typesetting and a glossary manager. These tools allow for the replacement of original image content with translated text in the same area and the use of specialized dictionaries to ensure consistent translation of specific terms and phrases.

The system supports real-time screen polling to monitor visual changes, plugin-based adapters for integrating various third-party translation services or local language models, and cloud-synced configuration to maintain user preferences across devices.
