Translator for Apex Legends – understand your teammates live

Typical situations in Apex Legends

• Trios with random teammates on mixed-language servers – Trannel subtitles what they say in voice chat.
• Legend names like Wraith, Bloodhound or Octane stay unchanged.
• Following Japanese and Korean Apex streams while you queue.

Set up Trannel for Apex Legends

1. Install Trannel and start it – 30 minutes are free every week, no sign-up.
2. Choose System audio as the source. If you only want one app, pick just Apex Legends or just Discord.
3. In the Apex Legends video settings choose a borderless display mode (in Apex Legends it is called “Borderless Window”) instead of exclusive fullscreen – only then can Windows show the overlay above the game.
4. Press F8 to show the overlay and F9 for click-through, so your mouse goes to the game.
5. Pick the language you want to read – Trannel detects the spoken language automatically.

Apex Legends terms stay as they are

Trannel recognises when Apex Legends is running and keeps the words players actually say – such as Apex, Wraith, Bloodhound, Pathfinder – unchanged instead of translating them literally.

Translating into Chinese on a PC with a graphics card? 中文 Plus translates English, Japanese and Vietnamese into Chinese more naturally, including gaming slang.

Answer in their language (Beta)

With “Voice for Discord” you speak your language and your Discord group hears you translated, with a natural voice. The feature is in beta and only in the version from trannelapp.com.

Offline and separate from the game

Speech recognition and translation run on your PC; audio and text are not uploaded. Trannel does not modify Apex Legends or inject anything into it – it listens to Windows audio and shows its own window.

Apex Legends is a trademark of Electronic Arts / Respawn Entertainment. Trannel is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Electronic Arts / Respawn Entertainment.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trannel free for Apex Legends?

Yes. Trannel runs 30 minutes free every week – with every feature, no sign-up and no payment details. Licenses will be available soon.

Why don't I see the overlay in Apex Legends?

In exclusive fullscreen Windows cannot draw other windows above a game. Switch Apex Legends to a borderless display mode (in Apex Legends it is called “Borderless Window”) and press F8.

Which languages does it translate?

20 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Turkish – in every direction.

Does Trannel touch the game files?

No. Trannel only listens to Windows audio and draws its own overlay window; it does not change or read Apex Legends's files. Whether third-party tools are allowed is up to Electronic Arts / Respawn Entertainment's rules.

Do I need a graphics card?

No. Trannel runs on the CPU; with an NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics card it is faster and can use more accurate models.
