1. Translate by Chatting with Image

If you only have one image and want to translate, you can open any PDF with UPDF so that you can see the UPDF AI icon. Click on it to open.

If you have multiple images to translate, you can convert them into one PDF, then, use OCR to make them editable and translate. Here are the steps for you to following.

• Select all the images from your folder, then, drag them into the UPDF interface. Click on the "Yes" when it asks whether you want to combine all the images into one PDF.
• Now, all the images are in one PDF and opened in the UPDF.
• Click the OCR button. You can choose to download a plugin for the best experience.

• Choose 'searchable PDF'. You have various options here, but it's best to choose 'Text over the page image':
  • Text and pictures only - this gives a smaller file size but may change the layout of your document. The resulting PDF will be searchable and editable.
  • Text over the page image - this is the recommended setting. It retains the original page layout with an image underlay to the output text. The text is both searchable and editable.
  • Text under the page image - this adds a transparent image overlay to the text. You'll be able to search the text, but not edit it.
• Also select the document language, in this case, Chinese Simplified.
• Click 'Perform OCR' and UPDF will automatically open the resulting file in a new tab.

• Now, you can use different methods to translate the file. To translate the whole file, you can click on the "PDF Translation", select "English" and click on the "Translate" to translate the whole file into English.

Or you can select the text you'd like to translate. Select UPDF AI > Translate > English (or your desired output language).

They also both distort the image somewhat

Yandex

Yandex is an OCR translation tool that works in your web browser. You upload an image, select the language, and it will translate Chinese picture to English for you. It's a basic tool that's free to use. There are no extra settings, you simply upload a file and choose the language. This makes it simple to use, but you don't have any control over the output.

Google Translate

You're probably familiar with Google Translate, but you might not know it can work with pictures. By selecting the 'Image' tab, you can upload a picture and have it translated. It's a very fast tool, good for in-the-moment translation, but it often produces clunky text. It's a basic way to photo translate Chinese to English. Additionally, Google Translate also allows you to translate photos from English to Uzbek, Chinese, French or German.
