    On android you can hold the bottom gesture area and it brings up Google ai “what’s on my screen” mode and it has a translate function that will replace all the German text on the screen with English, seems to work pretty well at least on the German memes.

        Anecdote: This isn’t guaranteed to work, since in ich_iel we somet8mes use “Zangendeutsch” which means, that we forcefully translate words, or parts of word, that are somewhat normalised, but are not native German words, back into German in the dumbest most confusing way possible.
