Text In Photographs Can Now Be Translated Using Google Translate On Web

Mar, 2023 - By WMR

The program employs the same technology as the AR Translate function for Google Lens and after a user uploads a picture, it will translate the text in the image to their selected language.

Google has made significant improvements to Google Translate. The tool's online version may now translate text from images into your preferred language.

When users go to the Google Translate website, a row of tabs may be found near the top of the page. If someone has used the tool before, they might see that there is a new tab among the group. There is a new tab called Photos.

This new feature will allow users to translate words that show up in screenshots or photographs. To use it, all one needs to do is upload an image from their computer or smartphone. Whenever a picture has been uploaded, the tool should automatically identify the language present and translate it into the language that has been specified as the default. There seem to be more than 130 other languages available as well.

The tool allows one to observe an edge comparison in addition to translating if the "Show original" checkbox is checked. Also, anyone is free to download or copy the translated artwork.

This new Google Translate for the web feature also makes use of the generative adversarial networks (GAN) employed in the AR Translation for Google Lens. This method allows the tool to appear as though it has seamlessly replaced the original information rather than superimposing the translation on top of the original language.

Users would be correct to believe that Google Lens has had this capability for some time. This only applied to mobile, though. Today, browser users can benefit from this feature as well.
