Set up Trannel for Honkai: Star Rail

2. Choose System audio as the source. If you only want one app, pick just Honkai: Star Rail or just Discord.
3. In the Honkai: Star Rail video settings choose a borderless display mode instead of exclusive fullscreen – only then can Windows show the overlay above the game.

5. Pick the language you want to read – Trannel detects the spoken language automatically.

Honkai: Star Rail terms stay as they are

Trannel recognises when Honkai: Star Rail is running and keeps the words players actually say – such as Trailblazer, March 7th, Dan Heng, Kafka – 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.

Offline and separate from the game

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

Frequently asked questions

Is Trannel free for Honkai: Star Rail?

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 Honkai: Star Rail?

In exclusive fullscreen Windows cannot draw other windows above a game. Switch Honkai: Star Rail to a borderless display mode 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 Honkai: Star Rail's files. Whether third-party tools are allowed is up to HoYoverse'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.
