Key Features

1. Key Advantages

Key Advantages	Description
Protect the main subject of the image	Choose whether to translate the text within the main subject of images; this allows you to protect and avoid translating embedded information such as product names. As shown in the example image, the text in the red box represents the text on the main subject, while the text in the blue box represents text not on the main subject.
High-definition image handling	It can handle images up to 4000x4000 pixels, preserving clarity and quality.
Various languages	It supports multiple languages, covering the languages of more than a dozen countries and regions, with translation capabilities specifically optimized for e-commerce terminology.
Restore typeset	It perfectly restores the original image across various dimensions, including font style, size, and alignment.
Remove cleanly	It can perfectly restore and repair areas with text blocks, erasing them cleanly without leaving smudges.
Supporting returning result protocols for further adjustments.	The API allows for the customization of parameters such as font color and position. You can easily make further adjustments using the Aidge editor or other third-party image editors to ensure the image reaches its optimal state. Currently the Aidge Image Translation Editor is not yet publicly available. If you need to use it, please contact us.
Supports multi-line text merging	It can flexibly determine the layout of multi-line text within an image and merge it into paragraphs for overall translation, ensuring accuracy of the results. As shown in the example image, the first image is the original. The second image illustrates an incorrect line-by-line translation approach, which causes two lines of text from a single paragraph to be translated separately, resulting in a translation that does not match the original meaning. With support for multi-line text merging before translation (third image), the accuracy of the translation results can be ensured.

2. Supported Language Pairs

The Image Translation API supports translation between the language pairs listed in the following table. More language pairs are continuously being added. Please contact us via navigation bar or email us ([e-mail]) if you have any specific requirements.

FAQ

1. Does it support automatic recognition of images in different languages?

Currently, the image translation only translates the specified input language and does not support automatic recognition of multiple languages.

For example, if an image contains both Chinese and English, and the input source language is set to Chinese, only the Chinese text will be translated while the English text remains untouched. Conversely, if the input source language is set to English, only the English text will be translated while the Chinese text remains untouched.

2. The image translation result has imperfections, and how should I make adjustments?

Currently, the Aidge Image Translation Editor is not publicly available. If you need to use it, please contact us. In addition, we also support outputting all parameters of the image text such as font, position, size, and color. You can access it at Image Translation Data for Editing API Reference.

If your image is not an e-commerce image or does not contain a product main body, or if you encounter missing translations, you can try setting the input parameter to translate the main body text of the product and try again.
