BlueStacks is striving to make its video games more inclusive with the launch of a new real-time, in-game translation feature. The aim of the new update is to help reduce language barriers, specifically games of Asian origin that are not localized for Western Markets.
This ensures players of all backgrounds can have an improved game experience, allowing their performance to be based on skill and not limited to those fluent with the language. The new BlueStacks feature will "instantly complete the translation and display the results on a fixed secondary window," however, the brand does recommend players use it for combat scenes as it could delay the processing time, and "can cause you to lose an important battle."
