Use with online/competitive games at your own risk and check each game's ToS. </li><li>May not appear in exclusive-fullscreen games — use borderless/windowed mode. </li><li>Offline / local-LLM models download on first use (internet required), then run offline. </li><li>Machine translation may not always be accurate. </li><li>If you choose a cloud engine (optional), it needs your own API key, you are billed by that provider, and on-screen text is sent to their servers. The default offline engine sends nothing.</li></ul>
