    Not the most ethical answer but a paid chatgpt subscription.

    Even a medium sized local model can do 90% of the job now.

    Just gotta set it up ahead of time so you can use it outside the house.

    I was pretty pleased to discover that I could OCR and translate Japanese ROMs to English using local models that fit within my 6GB of VRAM on my laptop. I wouldn't want to play a narrative heavy game that way, but it was sufficient to read menus and make choices in more action oriented games.
