Image Translator

This project utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) and translation to translate text within images from one language to another. It performs the following steps:

1. OCR Processing: The project extracts text and its bounding boxes from input images using the EasyOCR library.
2. Translation: It translates the extracted text using the Google Translator API.
3. Text Replacement: The translated text is then overlaid onto the image, replacing the original text while maintaining its position and style.
4. Output: Finally, the modified image with translated text is saved to an output folder.

Usage

1. Place your input images in the input folder.
2. Run the script main.py.
3. Translated images will be saved in the output folder.

The goal of this update / tools, is to be able to translate from a video to video with the combination of OpenTranslator.

Notes

• Supported languages for OCR can be seen here

• Supported languages for Google Translate can be obtained using the following code:
