Detailed Instructions

Turning On/Off Translation Mode

Triggering Translation

Bring any controller close to your head near your ear, when a green rectangle appears, aim the frame at the target text and pull the trigger to translate.

After enabling the "Controller Adjust Screenshot Frame" feature:

1. Hold the grip button while the screenshot frame is displayed
2. Move the controller position to adjust the screenshot frame size
3. Moving the controller position upward will increase the screenshot frame height
4. Moving the controller position downward will decrease the screenshot frame height
