“TOKYO AFTER DARK” → “东京夜游”

Layout

Same hierarchy, crop, border, and spacing

Artwork

Lanterns, moon, street, color, and texture locked

57-second walkthrough

Upload, replace, inspect

01

Supply final target copy—do not ask the image to invent it.

02

Quote brand names, prices, and regions that must stay unchanged.

03

Proofread language first, then inspect the pixels at 100%.

One precise edit brief

Replace only “TOKYO AFTER DARK” with “东京夜游” and “NIGHT MARKET · 7 PM” with “夜市 · 晚上7点”. Preserve the illustration, moon, lanterns, buildings, palette, border, texture, crop, hierarchy, and aspect ratio. Add no other text.

Every character and digit matches the approved transcript

Reading order and line breaks work in the target language

Logos, artwork, prices, and non-target copy remain unchanged

Inspect the lettering at two scales

Translation quality includes hierarchy, spacing, and the untouched artwork

The full poster proves composition. These crops make the headline and event line large enough to compare without hiding text errors inside an attractive illustration.

English headline

TOKYO AFTER DARK remains the dominant line and stays inside the original title area.

Chinese headline detail from the AI image translator example

Chinese headline

东京夜游 uses the same visual authority without redrawing the moon, foliage, skyline, or border.

English event line detail from the AI image translator example

English event line

NIGHT MARKET · 7 PM is transcribed with its separator, numeral, and compact footer hierarchy.

Chinese event line detail from the AI image translator example

Chinese event line

夜市 · 晚上7点 preserves the event meaning and footer placement while the illustration remains unchanged.

Four localization jobs and the fields that need a source of truth

Translation and image editing happen together here, but copy approval, locale decisions, and the final release record remain human responsibilities.

Poster and social card

TranslateHeadline, date, CTA
ProtectIllustration, border, palette, sponsor marks, place names

Keep place names and sponsor marks on a do-not-translate list. Translate a call to action for tone and locale, not word for word. Check the card at phone size.

Menu and instruction card

TranslateFields, steps, warnings
ProtectPhotography, columns, icons, diagrams, safety symbols

Transcribe every field first, then localise currency, units, and allergens deliberately. Warnings and regulated wording need professional review before anything is published.

Storefront and product graphic

TranslateSign copy, feature callouts
ProtectLogo, model number, certification marks, legal line

Mark logo, model number, certification marks, and legal line as protected. Treat the output as a concept — real production needs verified typography and measurements.

Comic and app screenshot

TranslateSpeech, interface copy
ProtectCharacter art, panel borders, icons, navigation, device crop

Assign dialogue to bubbles in reading order and preserve panel borders. Expanded scripts need new line breaks, so check tails and speaker ownership afterwards.

Transcribe

List every source string in reading order, mark unclear text, and identify names, codes, prices, or logos that must not change.

Localize

Supply approved target copy with locale, tone, units, currency, punctuation, numeral style, and right-to-left requirements.

Preserve

Compare hierarchy, boxes, crop, illustration, people, products, borders, and all untranslated regions at full and delivery size.

Approve

Use a fluent reviewer, rebuild regulated copy in a source file, and archive the bilingual transcript, prompt, output, and decision.

AI image translator FAQ

Preserve the design without outsourcing the meaning

A convincing localized image still needs an approved transcript, locale decisions, visual comparison, and a reviewer who can own the final wording.

01What does an AI image translator change?

An AI image translator replaces visible words inside a poster, menu, sign, product graphic, screenshot, or other raster image while attempting to preserve the surrounding design — colours, layout, illustrations, logos, and photography. It combines transcription, translation, and generative image editing in one pass. It does not create an editable source file, does not guarantee the translated meaning is appropriate for the target audience, and does not exempt the publisher from review. The output is a visual draft that accelerates localization work, not a finished deliverable you can ship without reading.

02Does the AI image translator perform OCR automatically?

The model can interpret visible text from the image, but important or regulated work should begin with a human transcription in reading order rather than relying on the model's interpretation. Supply the exact source strings and exact target strings, mark unclear or partially obscured regions, and list names, codes, product numbers, or legal lines that must stay unchanged. This reduces guessing from small, stylised, curved, low-contrast, or decorative lettering. The model's reading is probabilistic, not verified — it may confidently misread a numeral or confuse two similar characters, and that misread will propagate silently through the translation unless you caught it in the input step.

03Can the original image layout be preserved?

Preservation is the goal of the editing step, but languages expand, contract, and sometimes change direction entirely. German and Finnish compounds are longer than their English equivalents; Chinese and Japanese compress; Arabic and Hebrew reverse. State in the prompt which text boxes may wrap, resize, or change font size, and which grid relationships — column widths, header-to-body hierarchy, logo clear space — must remain fixed. Compare source and result for crop, visual hierarchy, imagery, borders, logos, and every piece of untouched copy rather than checking only whether the translation appears in roughly the right place.

04Which languages can an AI image translator handle?

The workflow can attempt many writing systems supported by the underlying editing model, but language availability is not the same as publication quality. A model that can render Arabic glyphs does not guarantee correct shaping, ligatures, or reading order; one that can output simplified Chinese does not guarantee correct traditional Chinese. Specify locale, script variant, punctuation conventions, numeral style, units, currency format, and register or tone. A fluent native reviewer should approve every customer-facing result, especially where nuance, regulatory phrasing, or cultural sensitivity matters. The model produces a draft; the reviewer produces the publication decision.

05Can I translate menus and prices inside images?

Yes, but transcribe dish names, descriptions, prices, currency symbols, units, allergen icons, and dietary labels as separate fields before translating. Supply the approved target copy for each field and verify every number individually — a misplaced decimal in a price or a dropped allergen warning is a business and safety risk, not a cosmetic error. Restaurants and food businesses should retain an editable source menu in a layout application because generated pixels are difficult to update reliably when a price changes or a seasonal dish rotates, and cannot serve as the business record for tax, compliance, or audit purposes.

06How do I keep logos and brand names unchanged?

Put them in an explicit do-not-translate list in the prompt and identify their positions by region — 'top-left corner', 'footer bar', 'product label centre'. Ask the editor to preserve shape, spelling, colour, spacing, registration marks, and surrounding clear space. Compare the output at full resolution; logos that look correct at social-media thumbnail size sometimes drift in colour, lose a thin stroke, or shift by a few pixels in ways that become obvious at print size. If a logo drifts despite the preservation instruction, use a tighter crop for the edit or composite the verified brand asset back into the final layout from the original file.

07Can the AI image translator handle right-to-left scripts?

It can create a visual draft, but right-to-left localisation is more than mirroring the text: it requires deliberate decisions about reading order, text alignment, punctuation placement, numeral handling, mixed-direction inline segments, and whether the overall layout should mirror or stay fixed. State which elements should reverse and which should remain in their original position. A native reviewer working with an editable design file is essential before release — generated right-to-left rendering can produce visually plausible output that a fluent reader immediately recognises as wrong because the line breaks, justification, or punctuation marks are in the wrong place.

08Is an AI-translated image ready to publish immediately?

No. Proofread both the source transcription and the target translation for accuracy, tone, and locale appropriateness. Confirm that names, numbers, dates, claims, prices, and units are correct. Check line breaks, text hierarchy, and overall preservation — does the illustration, photography, border, and logo look the same as the source? Legal, medical, financial, safety, and regulatory content requires qualified professional review before any publication. Keep the source image, bilingual transcript, prompt text, generated output, reviewer name, and approval decision together in one archive so the asset can be updated, re-verified, or traced back to its origin when questions arise later.

09Can I use an AI image translator for commercial work?

Review the current Voor plan terms and the model's licence terms, plus rights in the original image, embedded fonts, artwork, photography of people, brand marks, and the translated copy itself. Obtain any required permissions — likeness, trademark, font licensing — and have a professional language reviewer approve the final version. Generated image editing can significantly accelerate localization timelines, but the publisher still owns accuracy, accessibility, regulatory compliance, and final asset management. That ownership does not transfer to the tool. Archive the source, prompt, output, and approval record as a package so you can answer rights inquiries, reproduce variants, or update the asset without starting from scratch.
