Part 1: Why Is It So Hard To Translate Thai Images to English?

You might be used to translating text by copying and pasting it into your preferred tool. It's not so easy when it comes to translating the text found on images though. Some languages, including Thai, also present unique challenges to online translation tools.

• Thai texts often feature Roman characters alongside Thai letters.
• Many tools can only work with short texts, and translating longer pieces can be laborious.
• Thai uses its own alphabet, which can make it more difficult to translate.
• The syntax is also unique which sometimes results in confusing translations.
