Helpful notes before you begin
Translation requires server-side API configuration by the site owner. Only extracted text (not your image) is sent to the chosen provider. Output is translated text, not an edited image. OCR accuracy depends on lighting, angle, resolution, language, fonts and the underlying image. Translation can change the meaning of specialized legal, financial or medical language, so manually review important documents.
Frequently asked questions
Will it translate every language automatically?
No. Choose the correct OCR language. The translation provider supports a defined set of languages and pairs.
Does image translation work without the API key?
OCR can work without a translation key, but automatic translation requires the website owner to configure a server-side provider.
Will the output look like my image?
No. The current output is editable translated text, not a redesigned image.
