Image translation is a term related to machine translation services for mobile devices (mobile translation). Image translation refers to an additional service provided by mobile translation applications where the user can take a photo of some printed text (menu list, road sign, document etc.), apply optical character recognition (OCR) technology to it to extract any text contained in the image, and then have this text translated into a language of their choice. ==General== While machine translation made available for mobile users (mobile translation) is a notable advance in multilingual communication eliminating the need for an intermediary translator/interpreter, translating foreign texts still poses a problem to the user as they cannot be expected to be able to type the foreign text they wish to translate and understand. Manually entering the foreign text may prove to be a difficulty especially in cases where an unfamiliar alphabet is used, e. g. Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese etc. for an English speaker or any speaker of a Latin-based language. The possibility to use one's mobile device's camera to capture and extract printed text is also known as mobile OCR and was first introduced in Japanese manufactured mobile telephones in 2004. Using the handheld's camera one could take a picture of (a line of) text and have it extracted (digitalized) for further manipulation such as storing the information in their contacts list, as a web page address (URL) or text to use in an SMS/email message etc. Presently, mobile devices having a camera resolution of 2 megapixels or above with an auto-focus ability, often feature the text scanner service. Taking the text scanning facility one step further, image translation emerged, giving users the ability to capture text with their mobile phone's camera, extract the text, and have it translated in their own language.
