TranslaCat on Titan OS TVs
Titan OS is the smart TV system on some Philips, JVC and Sharp TVs (Europe and Latin America). There is no TranslaCat TV app for Titan OS yet. You can use free Phone mode today.
Use Phone mode
Works whatever TV you have.
- 1
Install TranslaCat on your phone
Get it from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android.
- 2
Choose Remote Play
Select PS5 or Xbox Remote Play in TranslaCat; the game picture comes to your phone. The phone and console must be on the same network.
- 3
Read in Phone mode
Select the subtitle area. Translations appear on your phone, below the game picture. Phone mode is free.
Why don’t translations appear over the game on the TV?
In TV mode, the TranslaCat TV app on the TV draws translations over the console’s HDMI picture. That isn’t possible on Titan OS for now.
No app
Titan OS apps are web apps that Titan OS adds to the TV’s app list after its own review. TranslaCat TV is not on Titan OS yet. The Android TV APK cannot be installed on Titan OS.
Text over HDMI
Titan OS’s developer documentation describes no way for an app to draw text over the picture from an HDMI input. So translations over the game can’t be offered on Titan OS for now.
Next step
We are looking into Titan OS support. We will announce any progress on this page.
To see translations over the game on your TV
TV mode with TV Plus works on these TVs. You can find your TV’s system on its box, in its manual or in the system information in its settings.
Android TV / Google TV
The TV itself must run Android TV / Google TV, including older Philips models with Android TV.
Samsung TV
2022 and later; installed once from a computer.
LG TV (webOS)
Test build; installed once from a computer.
Can I open it in a browser on Titan OS?
No. TV mode needs the TranslaCat TV app running on the TV. A web page cannot draw over the HDMI picture.
