Android TV / Google TVv0.6.15 · Build 27Test APK available
Android TV / Google TV built into the television
In this release
The website TV app now accepts AI captions from the phone, so AI translation shows on the TV with this build.
TV screens now follow the TV language: 59 languages, Arabic right to left. Same app as Google Play 1.0.13.
Same TV app as Google Play 1.0.11: menu translations appear in place on the TV and the caption box hugs the text. If the receiver cannot start, the screen now says why.
Google Play closed test: we are looking for 12 testers for 14 days; testers get AI token gifts.
Captions stay steadier in long sessions, and no extra caption window remains after the receiver restarts.
Phone AI translation now works in TV mode too; AI captions appear directly on the TV.
Long captions resize more steadily without abrupt grow-and-shrink flicker.
The previous translation remains visible through brief picture and network interruptions while the next line arrives.
Uses the same TV connection protocol as iOS 1.0.1 (29) and Android phone 1.0.8 (21).
On slower ONVO and similar TV firmware, the app waits for the overlay check before opening system settings.
Duplicate caption layers are prevented when both standard and compatibility permissions are available.
Anonymous crash reports and fixed screen metrics help us find issues without sending camera or caption content.
Build 27 uses the same signature as 0.6.14 (26) and can update it in place.
This is a test APK. Install it only on a compatible TV and use the free HDMI compatibility test.
In Remote Play, the controller connects to your phone, not the PS5. Hold the PS and Create buttons together until the light flashes quickly, then select “DualSense Wireless Controller” in your phone’s Bluetooth settings. Reconnecting to the PS5 ends the remote session. When finished, connect the controller to the PS5 with a USB cable and press PS.
While a subtitle is on screen, tap “Subtitle area” at the top. Use “Auto-detect” or drag the frame over the subtitle line, then confirm. Enable game subtitles, ideally in a large size. For menus and hints, turn on “Translate full screen (including menus)”.
Keep the PS5 on or in rest mode. In Settings › System › Remote Play, turn on Enable Remote Play. Your phone must be on the same Wi-Fi, with no other Remote Play session open. Try again after a few seconds.
At home, the picture comes over your home network, so the home connection matters more than your internet plan. For the smoothest result, connect the PS5 to your router by cable and your phone to 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
To show translations on top of the game, the TV itself must be Android TV / Google TV; external boxes and sticks such as Mi Box cannot display subtitles over the picture from another HDMI input. LG webOS and Samsung have test versions at /lg and /samsung, installed once from a computer. Samsung currently pairs only with Android phones; iPhone support is on the way. On other TVs, such as VIDAA, phone mode works: the game stays on the TV and Turkish subtitles appear on the phone beside it.
TranslaCat TV is in a Google Play closed test; the steps to join are below. Install it on Android TV / Google TV and pair your phone. Use the free HDMI test to check support for captions over the game. External Android boxes cannot overlay another HDMI input.
TranslaCat TV is in a Google Play closed test. With your TV’s Google account: (1) join groups.google.com/g/translacat-tv-testers, (2) become a tester at play.google.com/apps/testing/com.translacat.tv, (3) search for TranslaCat TV in Google Play on the TV. If the app still does not appear, your TV’s Android version may be too old; contact support.
Paste only the single-line command from the LG page into Terminal, not the script contents. It is working when “TranslaCat TV kurulumu indiriliyor…” appears.
Yes. Open PS5 or Xbox Remote Play in TranslaCat and select Phone mode. Translations appear below the game picture. No TV app, QR pairing or subscription is needed.
Initial language downloads, console sign-in, subscription checks and optional AI translation need internet. Remote Play needs an active network connection between phone and console; TV mode also needs the phone and TV on the same local network.
Select the original subtitle area in the Remote Play game picture. Enable game subtitles, use a readable text size and keep the network connection stable.
On-device translation runs on your phone, not in the cloud. Download your language models ahead of time and keep playing. Optional AI translation uses the internet.
Initial model downloads and periodic subscription checks need internet. For TV mode, the phone and TV must stay on the same local network.
Your camera feed stays on your phone
Camera images and caption history are not recorded. Android uses Google ML Kit; iPhone uses Apple Translation. RevenueCat and the stores process purchase information, not camera images or game subtitles.
TV delivery uses local HTTP. Use only a trusted home network.
