I really find this amazing, gives you the feeling that learning the ideograms would be enough to get the gist of most texts. Quite bright yet simple hack.
I wish HN would feature more projects like this one instead of wtv is currently on the first page.

TY!!
Yea this actually has been going viral when I posted it on Instagram. Maybe I'll need to post this on HN in a different time or wait for someone else to organically post it :)

Does not work on FF, iOS : the translation is drawn with the same font.
oops, I recently switched the storage to Git LFS and the deploy workflow didn't download the fonts

the same goes for Brave, ios
but with ligatures, I was thinking about how much could you actually push them? I decided to try making a font that literally translates Chinese characters (with some context-aware rules/replacements for common phrases).
Turns out, this experiment took only several minutes to make with Claude Code and works surprisingly well!
